XI year old Autechre Album Released: Exai (WARP234)

I'm so fucking exaited!!!

hopefully this doesn't overshadow the new Soulja Boy album

The artwork seems to contain pixelated images of Rob Brown And Sean Booth.

Rob is picking his nose and Sean is doing a little dance.

it's totally a koala bear

Sean is the one who picks his nose though.

album title speculation time:

 

 

Leveleleven

Yup. "Exai" = phonetic iteration of Roman numeral "XI", meaning it's Ae's 11th LP.

Falling asleep to my 24bit WAVs of Oversteps - 'Treale' sounding as dirty as ever - after having played a game of Simon Tatham's Galaxies on an 11×11 grid in tribute to Exai.

Exai:

01 FLeure
02 irlite (get 0)
03 prac-f
04 jatevee C
05 T ess xi
06 vekoS
07 Flep
08 tuinorizn
09 bladelores
10 1 1 is
11 nodezsh
12 runrepik
13 spl9
14 cloudline
15 deco Loc
16 recks on
17 YJY UX

Bit jazz...

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh #preordered

yo

303 ?

The artwork is quite unusual for an Ae album, I mean look at that color scheme ! They already used green, but not in that pastel, beautiful way. Same goes with the blue and the brown - even tho the main, 11-bits sleeve is reminiscent of their older works. And the texture of the packaging also seems a lot more natural. I have high hopes about that album, it could be an all new style, maybe more organic and forest-based journey, whatever that means !

Yeah its definitely got an interesting vibe, also interesting how long it is, yet there aren't an insane amount of tracks either.

called it first, woo

I was super-excited at first at the announcement, because I first read 2 hours and 32 minutes of music, in stead of seconds

I'm still super-excited but with that slightly disappointed feel you know? FML.

that makes me like him even more. lol @ rob

the sleeve designs are kind of.. natural and synthetic at the same time

I really like the artwork.

well, I heard it. It's a continuous mix. Both discs. Just like the live shows, but in disc format.

But set in space.

The idea of a boustrophedon QR code is pretty awesome. Cheers to that! And yes, it does look rather like Conway's Game of Life. Has anyone plugged the cover pattern into Life or any other cellular automata yet?

SIDtechre? album cover looks like it anyway.

It looks like flat pillows... Or folded shirts...

Yeah they should to a bed and pillow covers edition of the artwork.

too bad you are commonly known to be a pathological liar man, cause that would be lush :]
