AE_2022－

They actually never stopped playing IO live, it's been in all the sets since 05 you just gotta listen closely

just finished

my brain is feeling like m    a    s    h  e     d        p      o    t    a   t     o      e     s rn

immediate standouts were VENICE, RENNES, BARCELONA, MADRID, LISBON_B & LYON (jesus fucking christ ESPECIALLY LYON what the actual fuck just happened)

KREMS also grew on me when i gave it a second listen

i cannot believe that they find new ways to sound fresh and futuristic 30+ years in

beyond grateful to be able to listen to their music

Was excited to hear Melbourne again having been there, but fuck, Lyon is the album I needed this year! Loving it!!!

Did Paris this weekend and thought that may be my fav so far (Lyon aside) but only half way through Madrid has me questioning that already. How can it be so laid back and a full on assault at the same time. Nasty.

I really wonder how the Sweden set is now.. 
Everyone said it was super bass heavy! 

Ae going full Dubby now and as a pure dub head I just loving it!

I for one have noticed that we cannot not afford the live sets.

Fucking Lisbon , flawless victory bois.  That intro (same as Lyon) is peak Autechre, magesterial; just hook it to my veins already.

Just don't eat for a week. no brainer

As much as I lvoe these sets, I can't imagine people only listening to Autechre??? After a while I feel the need to change things up

I love also the second half of Lisbon. Last pay day I was driving around the city where I live windows down bumping this, received strange looks from passersby in neighboring vehicles, and I think deep down these were looks of admiration for my elite musical taste, the gritty ambient lushness and gut-busting beats fascinated them methinks.

To be honest and I know I am full of fanboyism by saying that, since the release of these sets I find most of other electronic music boring.

To each their own! I personally would mourn the day I lose interest in more """"""mainstream""""" forms of experimental electronics. Life is so boring without a little variety!

Yeah Madrid has become a big stand out for me too.  I was listening to it the other day and immediately put it back on after it ended (first time I've done that with one of these sets so far).  

On my first dive into Lisbon B at the moment which (unsurprisingly) is great already.  Look forward to seeing how it compares to Lyon.

Still loling so hard at Sean's chins here. If anything should be the alternate cover it's this. Bravo

I don't get the hype about Lyon. I mean, it's fucking good, but it's not Barcelona fucking good.

Counterpoint: it is tho

S&R on stage ~44:00min into Rennes, y'all just didn't see cause it was so dark

I‘ve had somewhat of a break of indulging in ae lately but these sets  have drawn me back in massively. Absolutely amazing stuff, truly some of the best they ever did. 
Rinsing Krems atm, incredibly subtle asmr deep-mixing shit going on there. Lots of sets still to discover…

It seems like this time the shows are more distinctive from one another, each focussing on different aspects. 
Pure joy to listen to.

I mostly agree with you. There is that fantastic morsel from about 1:07:30–1:08:30 tho

Yeah bit the same, it's not that I find it boring as such but everytime I try & listen to something else my brain is going put them Ae sets back on!!

Not been this obsessed by an electronic release in a very long time & the fact there are 12 new sets with lots of variation makes it even harder to stop rinsing it!

Think this is the first batch of lives where that truly works...the others I loved but with lots of redundancies between sets, I just ended up picking a few favs and they became the "album" this time it really feels like the full new batch is the "Album"

i’m a bit burned out on these this week, giving them a break. try again this weekend or next week or next month who knows. the overwhelming is real
