Lovely piece of furniture. If I didn't know better I'd think it would contain your secret booze stash..

Archival pic. Ironically, it presently has various bottles of single malt across the top.

Compelled to join forum after I spent several hours reading the initial evaluations of Exai while I was first digesting it.

Welcome to hell.

LOL

We're the Sowers of Discord in Dante's hell.

I was hoping they would follow the 6852 path with Exai but they didn't to the extent I'd like

Kind of disappointing though ofc Exai is still great in itself.

You know that their charity tracks are just tracks they have sitting around on the shelf, right? They're not created specifically for natural disasters.

6852 is so clearly a one-off track it might as well be a gescom single with ts1a

sounds like a draft era reject touched up with oversteps equipment/technique

How dare you insult 6852

It is no reject

im just saying it didn't make it onto the album

it was rejected

maybe it didn't flow right with other tracks, maybe it was unfinished, but it sounds very much like draft

I disagree. I think it's a Quari era track, has the same kind of noodly quality as Blyz Castl. I think I recall Osc confirming this with the lads themselves on some Skam night or something too. SO I'M RIGHT AND YOU'RE WRONG AND ALSO GAY LOL

i know deep in my heart that 6852 genesised at draft

i will never forgive u obel

NEVER

dove back into exai to get away from all the recent boc overplaying. I think it got even better.

playing the records for the first time, I'm getting a definite David Lynch vibe from the record labels.

Prac-f is still the most mindblowing thing. So much detail, such voluptuous morphing sounds! The three main 'shifts' in that that track make your brain explode. So good!

nodezsh is neck and neck with second bad vilbel as probably the most sinister sounding thing they've done

Nodezsh is a track I keep coming back to. That run of 11 is...nodezsh...runrepik...spl9 is just incredible. It's the sound of two guys that have totally mastered their equipment, right at the top of their game imo.

I always skip Flep. Fuck Flep.

same, only one I don't like on the whole double album.

I meant to ask a while back if you ended up liking the album?

Woah what! Flep is like 6ie.cr and v-proc mashed into psychedelic hiphop oblivion!

Not sure why, I just don't like it.

I love Exai. It's their best since Untilted, and their most enjoyable since EP7. There's a good portion of Ae's music that I find praiseworthy, original, and innovative, but not enjoyable; but that's not the case with Exai. It's a really fun album, in a sense.

Yes actually! How'd you do it? I'm... special. Used to work fine if I just posted the link, do I have to do something different now?

Sweet, glad you enjoyed it too. It's hands down my favorite release by them. Like you said, I find it enjoyable, not just challenging or technically impressive/difficult etc. Even confield, which I find brilliant, doesn't get as much playing time as exai or even quaristice because I simply find these latter albums more enjoyable.

cheers
