An interviewer once asked Sean Booth how much involvement he had in Gescom and he said that he made one of the records entirely on his own. The interviewer guessed that it was ISS:SA and Booth confirmed it. Can't for the life of me find the interview right now but if I do I'll post the details. Either way, Autechre performed three of the four tracks (ISS:SA, Tangle Ill and tr2a) at Coachella on October 10th 1999 and then performed tr2a (and Gescom's Boogie Down Bronx remix) at the Manchester Warp night on Novermer 5th 1999.

But I can't locate the interview at present

Just before Exai was released it was Pro Radii over and over again. At the moment I can't stop listening to Bladelores. That synth that starts around the 2 min mark has so much emotion. It just stirs something deep in the soul. Fantastic stuff.

Been checking out some quadranges and dam I'd forgottten how much of a killer some of thee tracks are. Notwotwo reminds me of something Angelo Badalamenti could have written for a David Lynch film. Anyway, thoroughly enjoying this vast ominous/ambient feel I ended up grabbing some tracks from other albums that kind of fit the mood and this little playlist was born. It's great for listening to a nighttime with all the low drone murkyness and when parhelic triangle hits it's fucking unbelievable. It's been the perfect soundtrack whilst biking/walking at night through the countryside.

these 3 may be in my top 5 quaristice tracks, definitely top 10.

nice picks

Perlence subrange 6-36 - I rate this one of the best ambient tracks of all time (and btw, I rate 'Leonard' from the FMJ soundtrack as No.2 incidentally, and I would like to pause here to ask the question that I'm sure puzzles at least several here amongst us, to wit - what the hell exactly is it that happened to Abigail Meade to make her possibly the greatest one hit wonder of them all?

Was it perchance a Flowers for Algernon scenario, or did she just do an incredibly premature Sibelius ?) and it is entirely intriguing to compare it to it's parents. The sheer wealth of texture in the sound I hear in this track is phenomenal. At first listen it blew Pastikman's Converge* totally out of the water.

{*I just popped Converge on YT on a whim and to reexamine previous allegiances [and I urge you folks to check out Leonard and/or Sniper] and meine Grusse Gott! It's every bit as mind melding as I remember - some of the most evocative music I've ever heard in any genre. And then there's the exhilaration and headrush of the adjacent Ekko - The female vocal samples are but the beautiful cream on top of the swelling surging symphonic tidal wave of sonorously Luciferianly subterranean synths this side of Sardinia)

Listening to Draft 7.30 a lot these last few days in honour of it turning 10 on sunday(!). It hasn't aged at all, what a masterpiece.

Agreed! This is such a great album. one stand out track for me is Surripere.

Non Exai Tracks ...

- Rale has been my most listened to track over the past year.

- Cep puiqMX is right there too

- Arch Carrier

- Goz Quarter

I still go back to the two ten-hour mixes quite often. So many amazing moments.

And I love that you get to see their creativity on display in a vastly different context with a vastly different palette.

threshold of sleep flat out on the sofa listening to surripere, made me feel completely weightless.

Laughing Quarter all the way.

Some of the best drum sequencing i've ever heard.

 

Polymershapes: Is there any evidence that ISS:SA is Sean Booth solo?

Laughing Quarter is amazing, even over sixteen years after Envane's release.

Didn't realize ISS:SA was a Booth solo project. I wonder how much of A1-D1 was his work too. The track C1 in particular HAS to be his work at least.

According to him, heavy involvement in one track, slight involvement in part of another track.

never knew those any of those tracks had names. nice.

Yup! A couple do! This is Leaves on the Line

Actually I think I got confused. I think the first track is Leaves on the Line, but the samples of trains always make me think this one should be called Leaves on the Line
