XI year old Autechre Album Released: Exai (WARP234)

LOL, that's fucking hysterical @ keyosc

did kiosk come from watmm or xltronic first? If it came from watmm.com than clearly we've won

We're talking about Oversteps, right? I think that leaked already.

dont ban me

keyosc will go down as our proudest moment on WATMM. Quite good. Lush even.

I heard keyosc is just Sean and Rob reciting selected posts from the Oversteps thread run through a ring modulator. With some pitched down samples of bells, woodblocks, and dogs barking, just like really sloppy but in a fun kind of way. Absolutely mental.

Very cheap way of going for WATMM's award for album of the century. I hope they realize they have to do more if they want to beat BOC's unreleased black square album. I'm thinking about artwork here, but I'm open to better suggestions.

i did have a mild whisky infused hangover.

But key osc has cleared my mind!

Also mega lol that it is the japanese bonus track and most of us will not officially be able to hear it ;-)

The 'chre have us in the palm of their generative patch. Many could be spirited away by a pastoral noodle from BOC but when you wake up on an unknown Scottish hillside with a 666 kaleidoscope, who can recharge the battery in your mechanical heart? As I type this, I'm thinking of Mary Wells' hit "My Guy" so I think I'll mod it a bit as an ode to my exaitement

 

"Nothing you could play

can tear me away

from my 'chre

Not even "Didgeridoo"

'Cause I'm stuck like dBlue to my 'chre

Nothing Burial could do

to make me "Untrue" to my 'chre

Nothing you could leak

could make me sneak a peek from my 'chre"

etc.

This is up there with the Augmatic Disport lyrics.

One can hear all of the Alcofribas Oversteps review read by Sean in deadpan through a ring modulator in this track. "Dude, is this Bike? The final track is the entire album played again backwards."

I had a dream last night that the new autechre album was actually a blue grass album recorded in a barn, except instead of a bassline or percussion the two autechre guys were standing next to the banjo player constantly revving chainsaws for two hours. They were both swinging the chainsaws around in a showmanistic fashion with this look on their face like, "oh man this is lush"

this is weird because i'm pretty sure i've never actually heard any autechre records

I can see how that would be lush.. what with the doppler effect modulating the tone of the chainsaws and all.

I also had a dream about hearing the album last night (honestly! ), I thought I'd preview the tracks on Bleep before making the purchase and found out that every track was basically exactly the same but with various combinations of instruments were muted on each track. The last track was all the instruments unmuted and it sounded like some backing track to an R&B song, WATMM loved the concept and I refused to buy it.

love the concept,

if you separate the ぶっ characters in google translate, you get 'Rather hump'

amusing. they could do like gas, no title tracks.. it's a bit useless

kiosk lol holy Christ lol

The more I look at the track list, the more I think it's not really that much.

And I've been thinking about the track titles of Exai and former albums, at first they were actual words and sometimes an abbreviation or something, but now it's mostly codes and abbreviations than actual words.

A part of me likes that, but another part of me doesn't, I like to just pronounce a track like it's an actual word, but with Quaristice, Oversteps and Exai it's just harder to do so.

also, keyosc -> key Osc -> key Oscillik in on the lushness brought out only in the 24-bit wavs

My first inclination is that this isn't real:

sounds live and too standard to me. like someone fucking around with their own rendition of the live autechre sound.

anyone else?

Pretty sure that's just a cut from a Quaristice tour show or something, it's very familiar. I can hear the crowd in it. However, if they made a track with the concept I would certainly be happy!

this is live. It's not real.

yeah, that's from the quaristice tour.

what kind of idiot would try to pass off a bootleg recording with crowd noise in it as a track off the new album?
