I posted this video a little too early before...but maybe y'all can appreciate it now

Nice vid. I like it. Suits the track very well!

Without fail, the songs that have extended versions are better for it.

I'm really into Altibzz, Phylopon, Perlence range 3, Simmm, Tankrakern, WNSN (really a new direction for them), and Chenc9-x.

The album has a lot of squelching. Especially in the second half.

It's growing on me a lot. I like it a lot now but I think it's definitely less polished than the last few albums. Probably less so than any album since Amber, in fact.

This will definitely change again, and I still need to get my hands on the "versions", but lately my favourites have been

Plyphon

Perlence

Simmm (first half < second half)

Steels

90101-5l-L

Chenc9

Just chronologically. My top favs would probably be 90101-5l-L and Perlence. I don't get why Steels seems to be hated by some...?

glad to finally see some Steels love. great track.

steels is one of the coolest audio experiments Ae have done...it sounds like a bunch of alien machines yelling at eachother. But I think the gem of experimental beauty on here is Fol3, I've never heard anything like it in my life, and it just asplodes my brain/..

Salvatorin, I really like the way you build up the visual language in your vid. It goes well beyond relying on the water/whale-song metaphor in the music (I know, dolphins aren't whales - but they're closely related) and syncs motion quite nicely with sound.

My favorite Quaristice track is Perlence. I think the album version is perfectly composed.

Outh9X is a close second - an amazing closer after the fake-out ending Notwo. Following that is Steels (I love Autechre's more abstract work) and paralel Suns, then chenc9 and The Plc (lots of seeming non sequiturs that somehow work together - the first time I heard it, I found it baffling. Love the vocal cutup at the end).

On versions, Fol4 is amazing. In one of their interviews, Autechre referred to a very long track that they considered putting in the middle of Quaristice, and I think this was it. Otherwise, I prefer the shorter versions. I liked being able to hear the choices made, the excised material, but on the whole I agree with the final form the tracks took. They left the best elements and put them together in a way that made them even more powerful.

Altibzz ( having listened to this well over 100 times now, I actually think it's one of my favourite Autechre tracks, if not my absolute favourite.)
