i could understand how i might come off that way. Let me restate, i think this album is very wanky and sounds like it could be improvised, done in real-time or possibly other peoples songs ran through generative/randomizer sample sequencers/beat slicers. this is not necessarily me saying 'this is a shit album' or 'if you like this you are being tricked' i just think this sounds particularly rough and unpolished compared to almost everything they've ever done, even if you take cavity job into account.

That being said it devastates me that it is 2 steps following Draft, which imo is one of the most calculated and well composed electronic albums of all time.

but on another note, what do you guys think of AE doing dubstep beats

Oh sorry, im wrong i just listened again, on montreal and keynell 2 the snare is on the 3rd beat, which is like dubstep ie half tempo.

The bit u posted has the snare on the 4th beat, which isn't like dubstep.

I don't know it's all so confusing.

skam? delays? well, now i don't know what to think . . .

pressing delays happen

that is a fact

full version of one of the new gescom tracks on the new rob hall mix @ 40 min in.

http://rob-hall.co.uk/

lol, but skam have had pressing delays for their last 18 albums

they must press them by hand

*listens to the Rob Hall Mix*

Ok, I mean it's not exactly what you would expect from Gescom. Doesn't sound like AE at all. Disappointed because everyone wants something groundbreaking.

But if someone posted this in EKT, I would be like, YR ACID ROCKS Y0!!! so whatever, quality acid in my opinion.

i think gescom arent meant to be the groundbreaking ones

who knows mite even be rob hall himself

I guess your right. But ISS SA went above and beyond.

taken from Rob Hall's website:

"rob hall mix series:

this months mix, entitled 'aesthetica erratica' marks the halfway point in the series and should help to sort

the wheat from the chaff.

this mix will be replaced on the 1st november.

the titles of the tracks that appeared in last months mix are listed below as usual.

please continue to support these artists by buying their releases. especially the new gescom, (please excuse this shameless plug) thank you."

so i guess its atleast Rob Hall, and the other sean and rob.

true i think that is quite possibly the most impressive gescom release.

It's out on Bleep! Go! Buy!

When this was first announced I was dead excited and I love all things Gescommy and Autechre-ey. Then I heard the 30 sec samples and was very dubious indeed. Now hearing the tracks on bleep I am fearful at the drop in quality of those two lads, tis a fookin' mess from start to finish.

I still might buy it on CD. Maybe it'll improve in time. Maybe ....... someday...... :cry2:

ok, I mean, I kind of like the acid tracks a little. But I mean, are we even sure this is Sean and Rob? I don't know what to think. I mean, if someone gave me the megamix without knowing, I would be like, no way thats autechre. So I don't know what to think anymore. But I dunno, just gimme some new ae already.

reminds me of rob brown's hip hop mixes, but much more compact and much less wanky

meaning I like it

well worth the $5.50
