is there anything as dark as Parhelic Triangle from Confield?

vekoS has some of those dissonant ambiences but is more funky. IT'S REALLY FUNKY. Trashcan madman funk.

 

With an FM acidish snakeline

*hyperventilates*

You'll find something like the crying prog voice thing from Known1 on tuinorizn. Not as over the top though. It's becoming one of my favs so far.. Has a great chord progression and sick gated snares.

hearing lots of wavetable morphing now (guess that's nothing new tho)

bladelores is probably around 100bpm. if it was at 120 is could be a sick ass techno peak timer. Guess that fits to the Andy Stott feels I had initially..

An album whose merest operational parameters I am not worthy to calculate

btw pixelives, did you hear spl9 yet? the podcast version is of a terrible quality, i just want to know if it sounds ten million times better with the right quality. does it?

Yeah so much better. I can even imagine what that thing was encoded at.

great! would you say it's a track that would perfectly fit on untilted (i just love that album)?

Might write a song parody of Tell Me More from Grease about Exai... time will tell.

yeah that with a mix of Quar, but the production is deeper in the newer lush style

nodezeh has a baby gorilla bashing at an organ at the beginning.

lol??

FWIW I brought down 8k and 16k in the eq on my iTunes about 3dB and brought up 250hz and 64hz about 4/5dB. Could be that my ears can't handle the high end like they used to.

I might be a bit drunk at this point but spl9 kind of reminds me of Lightning Bolt? At least at the beginning. It's basically a proggy bassline with a locked in drum part with tons of modulation. But then the big scary pad hovers on top so that kind of goes away...

another day without exai

Theswere sounds like it belongs in the soundtrack to Mischief Makers. Also, this...

 

lol there totally is that 'clancer-esqe' sound

Not much in the way of that Perlence stuff, which I would describe as "Glacial"

 

Some bits like the classic plaintive chords and melodies of Theswere.

 

it seems like a refinement of the Oversteps body of work, but more "down to business," and less overtly melancholy, but keeping that moody melody that has been happening throughout the entire discography. Synths are sometimes pushed into the background and sometimes up in front.

 

As I said before it's like a total refinement of all the elements we've seen come from them.

 

Less like, "we're gonna use this overarching concept for the entire album" and more like, "we're gonna bring all our best elements together as a cohesive whole."

 

I said before that it seems like they're having fun and rolling with it..

 

Every piece kind of operates in it's own universe.

sounds so good. thanks for answering.

can't fucking wait for this

Page 234 will be the leak (or actual release).

things to do while waiting for exai:

read my thread where I discovered Autechre sampled Merzbow

or

read my post about Steinvord identity speculation (I totally figured it all out guys)

or

[add]

lol

Any FM sounds like steaks searing on a hot-plate ala os veix3?

I wonder if Warp knows about the recent pages in this thread? Also, when do the CDs get pressed? Odds of it leaking then are much higher.

i think you're overestimating the amount of fucks given about watmm by anyone outside of watmm.

i also think you're overestimating the amount of fucks given about that ae album outside of watmm.

bleep released the new nosaj thing early. here's hoping it wont take much longer for them to release 'chre

time is the only thing that's going to increase the liklihood of leaking, it's just going to take one person folks and we're good to go. So someone brave and music mp3 collectory faggy leak this already.

So if the fucks aren't given as much as we suppose they are then point given to the leak column; which is to say, a leak wouldn't make a difference.

As for Nosaj Thing going to Bleep early, it's because the leak hit first.

i mean.. there's only 9 people on last.fm who scrobbled Fleure for instance.

http://www.last.fm/music/Autechre/_/FLeure

this makes a bit less than 3 listens per user on average. conclusion: fucks given about the album? not that many.
