XI year old Autechre Album Released: Exai (WARP234)

Oversteps must be at least 2/3s of their discography ago by now, aencient history

This month's Heavy Metal (#292) has a Grant Morrison comic that pairs nicely with TDR's Exai packaging

Just heard prac-f with new ears and i excry.

I dig the "territory" they explored in Fleure, the sort of frenzied yet concise barrage of it ... would be interesting (exhilarating, even) to hear more tracks in the vein of it.

U mean LP5?

It's been an Exai month for me. I can officially state that I love Exai now. So long, Quaristice, you've been a great sport.

Has the artwork of Exai been watmm officially decoded yet?

^ yes. It’s a recipe for a brownie and a picture of it at the same time. Quite genius actually

Just posting to say that Exai is an absolute masterpiece.

Aye, pretty much

it's really damn good

was thinking about it today. might give it a good listen tonight

such in-depth visual analysis is what watmm expertise is known for. thank you for spreading knowledge and wisdom.

It's also really damn close to being the physical release date of the album in the japanese yy-mm-dd date format (in fact so close I can't help thinking it's either a mistake of the art work (needs an extra pixel in the bottom right) or was meant to be released a day earlier) :

It seems plausible. I always thought it might have some binary or hex matrix in there, but I'm not knowledgeable in these methods. Your field work, mcbpete?

p.s. what is the purpose of the descending byte order in top row?

That's just the usual order of bits in binary for conversion to decimal (Most significant (i.e. largest power of 2) on the left, and the smallest (2^0) on the right)

Not my field of work (cant remember what wizard here found this out), but have known about bit patterns since I was proper little (used to make little monochrome sprites on the Commodore 64 when I was about 7 or 8!)

omg lol. i have 1 of whatever he's 'avin 

flol

We only have fake leaks and I’ve been listening to those for years now; they’re quite good
