XI year old Autechre Album Released: Exai (WARP234)

exaited

A whole year already?

The power of Eaxi hasn't diminished for me, still love it.

Looking forward to more stuff from "the lads".

Has anyone heard this yet?

It's out?

Hope it will be the same direction as 'Oversteps'

I heard there will be an EP after too

better not be more twinkly shit

Oversteps definitely worked, twinkly remnants of it would be most welcome in whatever ae decide to do next.

Wow a year already. I have happily not overplayed this album, it remains solid and fresh.

I listen to Autechre since I'm 16 years old or so, for me it's always been a huge thing with some accessible stuff, some more obscure stuff which I took years to digest. I listened to some albums more than others but always admired their work.

Then Exai came out and it still sounds like a monument, one of the most accomplished thing I ever heard. I found it more accessible as most of their stuff from the beginning but it still fascinates me like so little music does. L-Event goes in the same case (tac Lacora... where the hell does this track comes from?...).

I always found more and more difficult to discover music across the years but this belongs to the top notch of the exceptions.

Thank you

Just like BMX'in through the city at night innit.

Having it all come at you on that initial listen through is really special. Maneuvering with the sound like when you first learned to ride a bike, and the ensuing rapture of zooming around the city, fear obliterated by adrenalin excitement.

i was tagging "sean" on a wall in 1998 and some of the spray paint got in my eye and i had an hallucination of all of the tracks on exai in the correct order.

how?

Potato.

have you guys ever written the name Sean on a piece of paper? i dont believe i have, i guess its one of those names

I tried once and was quite proud of myself until I looked closely and realized i wrote ROB

For some reason when I tried it came out as Marcus =S

had the gf try and it came out as Michael

supernatraulr

I have a cousin called Sean.

So yes.

revisiting exai now and it's pretty great but jesus fucking christ runrepik is probably the worst piece of shit ever, i actually can't think of a worse track in all of ae discography.

But I wouldn't say it's the worst thing they've done. But certainly exai's low point (IMO)

Huh, I thought runrepik was pretty great, actually. Like post-footwork or something, lol.

And hey! Hub is one of my favourite ae tracks!
