r ess

Ya I usually don't start stupid threads saying "this or that track needs its own thread blah blah blah etc etc etc" BUT man, what a great fucking intro. I don't think at any other point in the album does it reach a more epic point than the 1st 2 min of the album. That slow creep up is amazing. A week ago today I did dxm for the 1st time in forever (eh, a year maybe), and with my goonish wigger roommate who had never done it before. I put on milkdrop visuals on winamp and played it for him and after it was over he was like, "i finally understand how you can listen to that shit now, no i don't mean it's shit oh man you know what I mean right?" Good experience. Best track on Oversteps for me, although that is subject to change. As it stands I'm only a half assed fan of this album, but there are some really great moments.

this song is just so fucking autechre, but fresh. or perhaps i should say fr esh.

probably my fav off the album... this, cipater and LCC are killer intros!

r ess is probably the reason I've listened to Oversteps so much...

It's beautiful! Probably the best album opener I've ever heard..

ya thats what i'm saying. any words i use to describe it are cliche as fuck.

epic, lush, etc

God dammit. Audrey Horne gives me the orn. Fuck.

amazing track, one of the best openers and oversteps is one of the best albums in a long time imo

Altibzz is probably my favorite album opener ever.

But r ess is the best in terms of context and setting up the narrative of the album.

This track is good, but it's definitely not the most interesting to me on Oversteps, nor is it anywhere near as good as most of their other openers (mainly because they've done so many other great ones. Cipater? Acroyear2? Dael? etc.

it feels like it needs just a little bit more.

yeah, they totally should have elaborated on the amazing bassline at the end

this album is like a graf tag and r ess (r s) is like the initials of the creators.

Autechre seems to always have a great opener track and this is no exception. I love the way the percussion kind of cycles, so to speak. How it goes, then the next ones cuts the last hit, then it goes normally again, then the last hit cuts, so on.

The way the synth comes in on the left channel and reverberates through the right channel is something I absolutely love. I get drawn back to Autechre so often because I love reverberation effects, so it's like a gimmick that gets me all the time, but they do it so incredibly well and in ways that are probably impossible to recreate with an actual space.

Fucking love r ess.

at first listen this sounded oh so noodly but fuck when oversteps opened up i immediately loved this track.

it's a great track that gives you a good idea of what the rest of the album feels like.

god, how'd I forget Altibzz!!?? That's my top autechre intro for sure!

altibzz sounds alot like Oversteps in terms of mood.

altibzz sounds like one layer of an oversteps song to me.

I agree, this is a beautiful opening track.

Altibzz is perfection. But as soon as I heard r ess I knew the "leak" I was listening to was the real deal. Amazing song.

woke up maybe 10:30, sunny as pus outside, beautiful day. started this track up 1st thing. I don't even listen to the album, just this track, then moved on my day. LOVELY. Good day ahead of me to boot.

altibzz is killer, and so is r ess.

what makes r ess for me is when the vocals rise and then all the reverb tails are cut hard and the vocal hits a low note. the editing is awesome.

vocals?

first people are saying known(1) has guitar, now r ess has vocals?

oooh baby (baby)

this disport is so augmatic,

r ess was written by john lennon
