Yuop

does anyone else absolutely love this track? over the course of the last week while listening to this album on heavy rotation, i find myself sometimes zoning out after treale completes, and stay sort of entranced all the way to yuop. i get drawn back in by that soft bouncy bass that starts the track out. they sure know how to end it in style. everytime i hear this i think about machinery, like a multi-layered cog on a vertical axis that has, on every layer, a different amount of gears that dictate multiple levels of rotational motion. sort of like the inside of a combination lock, but on a much larger scale. it feels like the first few notes in every phrase are slower than say 2-3 seconds in where it is at full speed, only to wind down right at the phrase's end, like the pattern is repeating.

the tl;dr version: there is the theory of the moebius. a twist, in the fabric of space, where time becomes a yuop.

i don't think it's quite at a drane 2 or nuane level of awesome, but I may change my mind after hearing the high quality version (wonder if the high-quality cuts off abruptly too?). It is good, no doubt.

One thing Autechre know how to do well is close an album. Yuop is no exception, I'm looking forward to hearing it without it cutting off like that.

Absolutely breathtaking. Fantastic closer. Honestly I wish I could say more but I'm way too baked to come up with anything coherent right now.

Yeah, I love this track. Fantastic sound, somehow reminds me of some early Popol Vuh, Eroc, well the early 70s german electronic scene.

yeah pretty much. this is a really good thing because i'm really getting into cluster, harmonia, popul vuh etc.

I feel like the only one on the ae board who hasn't heard the leak. Can't we just wait until march to discuss such things?

or maybe i should stay away from this part of the woods till then
