XI year old Autechre Album Released: Exai (WARP234)

The bassline in Fleure is unreasonably familiar; I know I've heard that progression somewhere before but I have no idea where!

edit: Found it! 081301 by Nautilis:

i want more (of ae)

does anyone else here get reminded of Gescom's Megamix by parts of cloudline?

the end of bladelores is a lush acid come down

album continues to mind blow

vekoS-flep-tuinorizn

fuck

agreed

fav way of listening:

place speakers in bed, next to the pillow.. gives extreme stereo field...

dozing away at ca. jatavee c and waking up during the dreamy parts of bladelores was really nice

this just in: repeated listening to exai makes you gay

it's only been 9 days of Exai so far and I've gone from a 1 to a 5.5 on the Kinsey scale

Finally "got" disc 2, mostly because Spl9 stopped sounding like random bashing to me and kind of revealed itself, it really is one of the best tracks of the album, and cloudlines is amazing as well

I had the same thing happen with spl9 recently as well

Nodezsh is Perlence part 2. I can't help imagining both tracks making one long track.

Alcofribas, pls

review, pls

Yeah where's that guy ? After 308 pages...

nodezsh has that kind of nostalgic feeling that would make me cry if i wasn't an autistic.

Is it me or is there some variation in how detailed and well-produced the tracks are? For example, tracks 1-3 are so wonderful and I can just get lost in the details. They're crammed full of sonic detail ad movement and spatial mastery. But "jatevee C", and even more so "T ess xi" kind of jar me in how u-detailed and barren they appear in comparison. I would also like to love "nodezsh" and "runrepik" more... But even they have all these swirly reverby synths going on and whatever else that seems 'lush', they again seem rather barren compared to surrounding tracks. But if someone can offer another more informed perspective, I welcome it!

the only alternate perspective i can offer is try listening to the album on different speaker setups. It wasn't until i listened to the tracks after 1-3 on my studio monitors did i realize how much work was put into the mixing of the elements. Tracks like Cloudline and YJY UX really shine on a wide stereo field set of nice monitors. Bladelores is the only track that i absolutely can't get into, it feels a little too 'basic' imo to belong on the album.

I think the idea was perhaps to reset the listeners... pallette (couldn't think of a better word) before the sonic assault of the second disc.

Kind of... an easy going wash/mix out...?

how about palate?

i'm seeing 'prac-f' as a sort of terminator march song.. like a military, call-and-response, work song, as performed by a marching troop of terminati.
