hilarious and scary

the man from wattum, he say "yes"

Pressing is lush in my opinion

Doubt there is anything wrong with the pressing, just expected it to sound different. Still like it though.

The pressing sounds totally lush, I prefer it even to the 24bit FLAC. It seems to have more depth, dynamics and a more detailed high-end, and the vinyl takes a lot of the 'cold' and 'digital' feel away from it as well imo, sounds warmer. Bass seems plentiful also.

Yeah it destroys my sub. Really good with a slightly worn needle too.

hahahhaha

I am still spinning the fuck out of this album and getting a lot out of it. WAY more than Oversteps and MoT combined I think. Exai has a feel, like some other Ae records do (Amber, Envane, EP7, Confield, Draft) and the feel is like a dense solid that breaks in a very particular way, like fire-lighter cubes crack.

But mostly I just enjoy the music on the discs.

I retract the statement below, that was empty & rude

but exai is really good

now show me what you got, richard

That's true for me as well, and that's considering that I like TH very much.

i'm almost positive i saw this when i was at napster the other day.

Thinking about getting the CD, since it's the only version I don't have and I've liked the look of it since it was first revealed.

For those that have it, is it lush?

so lush

well except it's a pain to get the discs in/out of their sleeves; mine are in a binder

but it's far from being the most impractical cd packaging I own

Will the 24bit wav sound better than the 320mp3 on a laptop through headphones?

I'm not sure whether to bother d/l it,or will the flac sound better than the mp3 listening like this.

Sorry for what might be newb questions.

MP3 would be fine I think

Exai is still my AOTY, greater than Ceephax and definitely greater than Tomorrow's Harvest.

Not sure what else is due out for the rest of the year that might even come close....

Same here, although if ranked among other AE albums, its placement is somewhere in the middle of their discography.

But nevertheless. Maybe I am a fanboy, afterall

THE EP!

Fleure - nodezsh is perfection, after that the flow gets a little "off" somehow. Though cloudline and recks on are stellar tracks.

Still shits all over TH.

(And I like TH, despite not being a BOC fanboy)

I have to say it's great all the way till Cloudline. spl9 is a festival and Cloudline's my favorite track. It's so unbelievably good. Most artists can't make songs that amazing after so many years/albums/eps.

I really should listen to this more often. Currently the new Justin Timberlake album has been getting more plays than Exai.
