Same here.

Oddly enough this could be the first major IDM artist release that is NOT going to heard by those that downloaded leaked versions before those that actually bought it.

where did you guys order it from? amazon.com?

i'd much rather hear Autechre VS Zoviet France, or Autechre VS Nurse with Wound, or fuck even those old unreleased demos of Autechre Vs Coil.

Yeah I wonder whether they ended up actually recording anything. I knew they were collaborating but the only information I read was in Autechre's Listening Room session for Wire magazine where they state that they were exchanging ideas but not music yet. "Throw a spanner in the works"

so still no samples/previews up but it's shipping? i consider myself a huge AE fanboy, but i can't imagine myself buying blind another minimalist drone release merely because AE members were part of it

needs more beats and less daunting drones

 

How do you know it's gonna be drone material?

This is Important's second release in a 4 record series each featuring the work of the enigmatic Japanese artist Kouhei Matsunaga. Telepathic full length collaborative release from Kouhei Matsunaga, Sean Booth of Autechre and Pan Sonic's Mika Vainio. Using space, silence and electronic tones these three electricians rewire your brain for a new comprehension of sound.

it's been confirmed in the New Releases thread, there are absolutely no beats to be found and it's very quiet staticy sparse musique concrete' style

damn this is a sad couple of days for people who love Booth and Brown's beat fuckery!

below..

trainspotter factoid: the spine of the digipak says "3. telepathics meh in-sect er connection," but the front cover and the cd itself don't have the "er."

there are no beats to be found on the album. it is overall very quiet. there's a quiet static throughout most of the album. the sounds range from what sounds like small metal instruments played very quietly as if someone is scratching them, to musique concrete percussion/mic adjustment to high pitched electronic tones and stuff kind of similar to a rainbow in curved air by terry riley. keep in mind I'm not that knowledgeable when it comes to this type of music.

someone was listening?

I guess after years primarily beat oriented stuff (on tour and on record) they're over it for the time being... Certainly sounded like that in Sean's latest interview

imprec

Look for a big Important update this week w/ new records from Kouhei/Vainio, Kouhei/Booth/Vainio, Jan St Werner, Mueller/Z'ev, NHK & Kid 606

There's no highlight point in this album. Nothing that sounds like Vainio's other work, and def nothing like Booth's.

Very disappointed, and I wasn't expecting much in the first place.

why don't people who want to make an experimental/noisey side project try to make it more fun?

why does most 'experimental' (i put it in quotes because noise, drone, ambient, those arent experimental anymore, they have already been experimented with enough) music always have to be difficult and at the same time VERY half assed (mic dragging noises, wtf!) ?

im sick of this academic half-hearted bullshit. just seems to be people going through the motions and not actually trying to make something creative that is entertaining.

haha funny sample. sounds great.

The clips from the Kouhei/Vainio split sound good, I'll probably pick that one up. But Awepittance is right, the Vaino/Booth/Kouhei collab sounds pretty half-assed. If they wanted to release something like this, they should do so for free off their websites or maybe charge 99cents for it.

yeah, i'm also sick of super-minimal academic music. i'd love to hear some of the amazing sound design used to make something with actual structure. not necessarily super melodic idm or anything, just something memorable rather than a collection of sounds.

Half-assed is an apt description for the 3 Telepathics release.

The Vainio/Kouhei split sound a lot better, although Mika's sample sounds just like the work he did on Onko, which was not my fav, either. Does anyone know if the split is going to be available anywhere in mp3?

i like some minimal academic music that is actually oririginal and done in an interesting way , like Alvin lucier's I am sitting in a room or his music over a long thin wire. Unique concept and great execution . the word academic to describe this is inaccurate, i think more appropriately a lot of noise/drone labels will make something seem academic in order to sell it instead of portraying it as the wank that it is.

i mean we've already had great examples of Autechre doing beatless, non melodic stuff and that was the Gescom minidisc. One of the finest releases of that style i think. Maybe that was mostly russel haswell's doing?

it's been too long since i've given minidisc the full playlist random listen.

it seems silly and western?, but when i hear a song, i want it to either work towards something or have some sort of flow. in theory, it sounds great that you can make a song with a ton of samples, scattered randomly about with various effects/arrangement tweaks, but too much of this minimal stuff could be done by composers with 1/100000th of the talent that it would take to compose a confield.

glad oversteps is OTW
