XI year old Autechre Album Released: Exai (WARP234)

Hmm, I wonder how long my copy will take to make its way over to me.. I can't remember how long it took for Oversteps to arrive!

Ah yes, see this is why I get things delivered to work now. Everything goes to the nice airconditioned climate of the mailroom.

Vinyl in the house! Lovely packaging.. (didn't get two sets of stickers with vinyl, those are from the CD)

The vinyl finally arrived here too. Love the packaging! I won't have a chance to listen to this until tomorrow though. It looks like I have to stay Exai-virgin for one more day.

Got my CDs from Bleep in the mail today, after seeing them on the shelves of a local shop last Friday.

At least I paid less than what that record store was asking.

Got my 4XLP from Amazon today. Looks really nice in person.

Aphex Twin, Squarepusher and Autechre have always been the cornerstone of this label, and even the best new act can arise only in the shade. The best reflected on the most longest running online forum for Electronic Music, We Are The Music Makers resist. In September last year, The Designers Republic announced to work on the cover of next Autechre album, went off the collective spin. The corresponding thread of the forum began with totally crazy designs possible cover art. Over the months, joined up into January on speculation and masturbation dreams of the possible style of the album. Back to the beats? Publication of the more radical interpretations of live "Oversteps"? A new genre? As January, the first promo copies were sent out, the nerves were raw in the forum. No leaks in sight. Tears flowed, mothers were offered for auditions, straitjackets were distributed. The moderator was about to close because of too much blubbering the thread. This saw over 250,000 views in mid-February. In over 5,500 entries in 270 pages suffering was sued debated raged and fantasizes. As the end of February last the digital publication is anticipated was (by then it was no verzeichenbaren leak of the album!) Was short silence. The forum members had adopted as a flashmob in the few online stores and placed them immediately paralyzed.

Since then there is full euphoria in the forum.

Haha. I guess I had a small part in all of this.

I'm just glad I was never digitally burned at the stake.

Fantastic. Better in fact than most of the sub-par writing exhibited by the bloggerati for Exai reviews lately.

Wow...they're so beautiful! I'm gonna order the CD as well.

Thnx! ;)

WELL HELL YESH.

Definitely better than reading 90% of the "reviews" that have appeared lately.

i'm still waiting on the results of those mother auditions

Is it weird that I haven't received my cd yet?

CDs look really nice!

Joyrex, is this actually the longest running forum? I was just guessing here since I remember it from back in the days.

I dunno man ... probably their worst album (though Oversteps is close).

Though, to be fair, "Bladelores" is incredible.

How often have you listened to it yet?
