Awdigdger, Y u no announce tour

They're not touring Exai. They're spending the entirety of 2013 grooming their beards.

That is a good way to spend a year, and proof that beards are still IDM

Maybe after spending 3 years putting together a huge double album they fancy, like, some time off?

I'd love them to tour, but their sets are like putting together even more fresh music.

No.

Feels good to re-see these early announcements emails, they should release it soon.

Btw, I'm always reading this thread, like at least 10 times per day, you guys are the best, really.

So i've had no power for 4 days due to a huge storm, did I miss anything?

Aside from Conan, dolphin and polar bear gifs, no.

Bleep emails usually come out in a couple hours from now.

It's Wednesday, 1/30. 1+3=4. 4 Tet was the first to mention a promo. I think we'll hear it today.

ahaha, also, Quaristice was due on 3rd of march and they released the early mp3 on Jan 30th.

So there's hope for today / tomorrow.

Is it really that hard to wait another month?

Yeah, you missed a new AE tune dropped in a podcast at 24 mins.

it's not about the difficulty, it's about all of us deciding not to do or start anything interesting until this could be the soundtrack of our next interesting thing we do in life. obviously.

Keep in mind it's 2xCD, so the wait seems twice as long and our excitement is two-fold

Has anyone considered holding off playing one of the discs for a few months after release or something? Just to give themselves the experience of a second Ae release if none comes ala Quadrange or Move of Ten.

Not sure I could own whole CD of new autechre music and not listen to it.

I've thought about only listening to the vinyl discs one at a time, so split in fours. I'd really also like to listen on headphones since my system speakers aren't quite that good. Who knows if I have the control for that though. I'll treat it as more than an experiment.

If (when) files come soon, I'll probably burn them onto a disc and time capsule it til I need it.

how did they do it last time (first) when they released it early, messages directly to pre-ordering folks with a download link? or just throwing it up on the store for anyone to buy digitally?

There was a big difference between getting the email and actually getting the damn album downloaded, as I recall. Hope bleep has their servers prepped for the load

(you peoplke are terrible)
