someone with twitter account should ask wire if it's lush.

pretty IDM then.

so you'd rather have 2 hours of autechre doing the same thing? for two hours?

 

Remember Draft ? Remember Confield ? Remember Ep7? Remember Lp5 ? Remember Chiastic ? Tri Repetae ?

 

You know what these albums have in common ?

 

They have coherence. They have what many music fans enjoy in albums: unity.

define coherence.

Anyone with considerable music experience shouldn't be asking that. You know, when you get the feeling that each song belongs to the same record, and not like this or that song could have been on another record. For instance can you see any coherence between "IO", "bnc castle" and "perlence" ? I can't. On the other hand, I can clearly say that there is a coherence between "VI Scose Poise" and "Cfern", and I could go on. You know, records that have a specific sound, as opposed to being a mixed set of styles.

Quaristice has some of the best AE tracks ever, yet it fails to be one of my favourite because of this lack of unity. This decline in coherence had already been started with Untilted btw.

U ain't a bitch or a ho here we go

U.N.I.T.Y.

u gotta let him go

U.N.I.T.Y.

I guess that's why they call these kind of statements 'subjective opinions', because I actually think there's quite a bit of coherence in Quaristice, in exactly the same way that you say there is coherence with tracks on Confield.

but, WATMM....

Excited for Exai.

Not excited to hear more people complain about Quaristice in the Exai thread.

Promos are out, kids...

to me (subjective opinions remember!) the coherence of Quaristice is basically 'these are mostly just jams and they ramble and it's pretty cool and cheeky sometimes. we edited the stuff okay i guess.' which is definitely a lot different than any other albums except perhaps EP7 (technically an EP, so there's a change in what one expects from the collection of music. sorta. lol)

Q has some good stuff, but i still prefer to listen to my own mix of the album, Quadrange EP, and Versions. or just bounce around to certain tracks. that's okay sometimes but i prefer being handed an album that feels cohesive to me. it does to some people obviously, good for you and the rest of them. it doesn't to many of us others however, so we're hoping it's not similar to Q in the ways which we did not enjoy Q. but, WATMM.... i bet keyosc is gonna be a pisstake track just to piss the AE subforum off.

let's not discuss anything else ever ITT except all things directly Exai. that'll work.

so i assume there'll be individual artwork for each track similar to the cover or something of the sort. perhaps the key to decoding the puzzle of the cover will be within?????? a test to see how big of fanbois we are, is it? CHALLENGE ACCEPTED

How do you know this?

Because I'm getting mine early next week and a friend who works at a large radio station just got theirs.

Jesus, what a nice cock you have. Let me suck it.

I'm not excited to hear that 60 pages-old wordplay on page 71 about Exai either.

Well I can say this having worked in record sales, distro usually happens on Fridays for Tuesday releases. If someone has it in radio, then at least one song should surface by Saturday midday (or leak entirely). If neither happens, then this is false.

Hi gl0tch. I'll say this. It's not false. Would you like to see my text transcript from one of my best friends who happens to be head A+R at Warp? I'm not the boy who cried wolf. You are.

Promos to press have very little to do with "distro." You seriously have no idea what you're talking about.

Here's my Oversteps advanced since gl0tch thinks I'm lying.

do you have a rip of that? i'd like to see how they watermark dat shit.

edit: just to see, as it might say its watermarked just to prevent people from sharing it.

It definitely is. See that "955" above the catalog number. That's linked to me. Yeah I have it ripped to wav but I really don't want those floating around to be honest.

fair enough, i found another promo to test out.

nice promo, how does one acquire such treasures?

to be honest, most of the time when something says invisible watermark like that, it is lying. At my previous company we always added something like that to our DVDs, but it was complete bull.

Could be... Though we all know it isn't hard to tag a digital file with just about anything. I have heard about label blacklists however, due to leaks.

if you want to find out... you could load the audio from both the promo and the release into an audio editor and substract one from the other, normalize the result. i can think of several ways something could be steganographed into the audio, but keep in mind it needs to survive a CD rip & compression. the more severely the audio is altered during the rip & compression, the harder it will be to actually read the watermark obviously. chances are that a lossy format like mp3 or aac will automagically destroy an "inaudible" watermark. so it doesn't make sense. so it's a lie.

I think it would have to be degraded much further beyond 320 mp3 to be unreadable. But that's just me.
