"Move of ten" is out on bleep

After numerous plays, my absolute favorite - y7

can't decide between Cep puiqMX and rew(1)...

Clencher

I was thinking Clincher, because, you know, it would be the last track.

so, has anyone else tried playing d-sho qub and nth Dafuseder.b at the same time? if you start them both at the same time, they sync almost perfectly.

I might have messed up the sync a little bit, but yeah.

d-sho qub+nth dafuseder.b.mp3Fetching info...

SNIP I suck.

I like Move of 5... (The first 5 trax)

After that: eeeh

Okay, this album is growing already, just started listen 2.

I absolutely despised Etchogon first listen, but now I kinda like it.

Faves so far are Iris, M62 and Ylmo.

overtired

I don't know if i like it more than Oversteps! ...at moments yes, but overall it's hard to say right now. It's a little bit more intimate and personal than Oversteps.

So after 5 listening:

***** rew(1), iris was a pupil, no border, M62

**** y7, pce freeze 2.8i, ylm0

*** Etchogon-S, nth Dafuseder.b, Cep puiqMX

**

M62 is sooo Afx (at his best)! It's like an homage to Analords.

Richard, wake up...they're kicking your ass with this track! Where are you man?

Ylmo for me lacks the clarity of KrYlon. When I listen to it, it seems like it's not really there, or something. Whereas I was always confused when people said krYlon was random or meandering or whatever (it's not - it has a very clear, beautiful melody and goes through definite developments), I think those accusations could be fairly put to Ylmo. I really wanted to like this track, being the big fan of krYlon that I've always been, but it's just... I can't quite explain it. It really seems like a kind of cloud or vapour that isn't there and won't ever be deciphered.

The three tracks that are most obviously referenced in this release - qplay, krYlon, d-sho qub (though I can hear there are lots of other bits from all the Oversteps tracks being touched on here) are all far superior and feel more deliberately "composed" on Oversteps than they are on this release. Only pt2ph8, which is quite obviously the base from which iris was a pupil was formed (or vice-versa?) has gone through an interesting change for me.

Of the rest, Etchogon-S is great (though not as great was the madness in the live show for me), y7 is pretty nice and has awesome reverb (and I like the reference to those Treale sounds), pce freeze 28i is okay (I don't really get the hype, to be honest...far too repetitive, and has been done better in 1995-97 era Autechre to my mind), rew(1) is super cool and funky, no border is a beautiful and intimate moment, and M62 I understand the appeal of even less than when I first started listening. It just seems really 'meh', even though I have loved plenty of other repetitive, bouncey, four to the flour electronic tunes. Cep puiqMX, however, is a lovely closer and reminds me of the menacing beat screwery of Confield and Draft in the best possible way.

So overall it's a pretty good release. It does feel a bit Quadrange-like to me, however - as if it were live or switched-up versions of the Oversteps source material, only with less thought put into composition in comparison to Oversteps. Even Known(1), which isn't exactly my favorite track from that release, demonstrates what I think this release is lacking - a sense of counterpoint, of progression, of thought-out composition. Tracks sort of just start and then "go", and then stop. Which is great if that's what you're into, I suppose.

It seems to me, it Redfall, not Pt2ph8, listen attentively bass

Actually, you're right, there is definitely some redfall in the main melody and bass elements. But I also hear aspects of pt2ph8 in there. It's a lovely track innit? When I saw the name, iris was a pupil...I thought it'd be some awful joke. But it's probably the most gorgeous thing on here, that or no border. It's been stuck in my head all day.

Yes, of course, the track is very good. I really like Redfall, and, of course, and like this track. He has a darker and melancholic than Redfall

Sound like a flute in Nth Dafuseder.B strengthens an already emotionally heavy atmosphere in the track. Very impressive!

for me, its the way the constant kick is reconfigured by the beats around it. every couple measures it gets "recontextualized" in the song in a subtle, very cool and moving way to me. ive been listening to everything fairly loud and on good speakers in a good room, too.

I do actually love the atmospherics and the flute stuff in this track - I just hate the re-use of the d-sho qub beat! I wish they had used something else instead. The d-sho qub beat was never that interesting anyway... it's possibly the least interesting rhythmic thing they could have isolated from Oversteps (that or the Treale beat). It worked really well in d-sho qub because it came in with that super fun melody and because it was deconstructed so quickly, and because of the brilliantly unpredictable ways the rest d-sho qub switched things up (I mean, that choir shit at the end? I loved it!) d-sho qub is an awesome track and I wouldn't change a thing about it (same with Treale.) But to have its beat stretched out like that for five minutes against those beautiful atmospheres in Nth Dafuseder.B? I don't get it.

M62 is really very similar RDS's Analord tunes

Perhaps a bit in this track plays a minor role, they do not like it as a highlight ... Another thing, it would be much more interesting to do a bit of background

this track is totally a throwback to their early skam/gescom days and fits very well into that context.. they're letting out a bit of nostalgia methinks

By the way, only I hear that Cep PuiqMX, it is very much a revised R Ess?

i heard a remixed Yuop actually? the crunchy clattering fax machine sounds reminding me of the same in Yuop...

Crunchy bits are remarkably similar to stuttering a bit in R Ess.

And yet, listen to 0:58 and 1:15 in the Cep PuiqMX and 2:28 / 2:32 in R Ess...sound familiar? These atmospheric nodules, they are very similar, in Youp there is nothing like
