Has anyone considered stapling their nuts to the back of a car and having their mate drive away in it?

While performing self-fisting?

Hahaha!

Ratt is better than Charles Darwin. They are better than him.

Man, I am 3 days away from signing a lease in a new apartment.

Not being able to preorder an album from my favorite music people has been... well, just a slight inconvenience, really.

Has anyone considered holding off playing one of the discs for a few months after release or something?

 

Right?

Best Autechre release yet. That's all I'm saying.

that's objectively impossible, their back catalog is just too strong. I'm busting you both for wanton hyperbole.

Well, played, Sir.

 

No, seriously. This takes a huge, massive dump on Oversteps and especially Quatis-whateverthefuckitscalled. Best AE since Amber and LP5. AE fans will be deliriously happy with how dense and well-crafted these tracks are.

 

And this is, without a doubt, the first AE album (I think) sounds just as good through a pair of headphones as it does on a good hi-fi system with decent speakers.

This is very exaiting. I definitely respect Oversteps. I understood it. It was incredible. But I didn't really "like" it. Quaristice was really shitty actually.

In the autechre universe, this is as close to coming out of the closet with respect to having a leak as humanly possible.

 

Hey master J., what's your warn status?

 

I don't have a leak. this was actually a nice surprise that arrived in my inbox the other day.

Yes, that's right - after EP7 and then Cornhole, I really lost the AE faith in the direction they were taking their sound. Daft Derp-30 and Quarter-sized didn't give me much hope of AE ever returning to their old sound, and then Oversteps and Move of Ten renewed my AE faith.

 

I consider AE akin to a foreign cuisine; sometimes hard to swallow and unapproachable, but every now and then you try something that knocks your socks off and you can't get enough of it.

 

Don't get me wrong; I greatly respect them for doing their own thing, but if I don't like it, I simply don't like it. Nothing wrong with that.

 

However, I am very, very pleased with Exai and cannot wait to purchase the digital versions when they are released, despite having access to them already. I try and support the artists as much as I can.

 

but what about untelturd????

so yeah i actually have nothing to say i just realized. carry on. I'll just go crank it in the corner. bye

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

is there any proof that rob can even grow a beard?

I think I'm checking this thread more out of habit and muscle memory than actual willingness. Sucks having such a compulsion while working right next to (with) a computer

I can't stop

caught a flu last night, feeling well shite, if it leaks soon, should i listen to it in a feverish state or wait until the noodle stops pounding....? life-altering decisions

I'm getting a headache

If it's not available by 4 March, I'm gonna nose-dive into a mud pit like a Japanese schoolgirl.

That mixcloud podcast with tuinorizn has been put down, interestingly. I doubt it was hyped anywhere else other than WATMM.

Yeah, Utittied was forgettable, at best. Trust me, after you've listened to Exai the 10th time through (and trust me, you WILL), you'll pretty much forget any other AE release prior to it.

Damn, i finally 'got' the point of tuinorizn. I love it now. The beginning looks more like a parody of generic modern electronic tracks.

Exai is gonna be great.

i have to admit i'm somewhat pleasantly shocked to hear you/Joyrex say something like that. What's your 2nd favorite AE album next to Exai (which seems like it's quickly become your fave) ?

Despite Joyrex's disdain for some of their best works, i'm sure to share his love for Exai.

Will the multi-dimensionality of things ever cease?!

I've heard through the grapevine that insiders speculate Exai will be released early TODAY

 

your grapevine is rotten. Sad face :-(

Me, I, Beerwolf, loves Untilted so I can't really give any backup to Joyrex on that.
