XI year old Autechre Album Released: Exai (WARP234)


Recommended Posts

Do you think the release of this album will be similar to that of Quaristice / Oversteps in that:

 

- 12 hour DJ mix to promote release

- digital unexpectedly released a month or so early

- companion EP announced a few months after physical release

 

the last one probably not considering the sheer amount of material on Exai... still, I'd be pretty damn happy about any of those

sorry for letting you guys down. there was a problem with the download, so i only have the first cd. will give this a listen tonight and share my opinion tomorrow for sure.

guys! some info on the new album, by an RA staff writer (https://twitter.com/andrewryce):

 

The Autechre album is incredibly dense... sometimes fussy, sometimes gorgeous. If Oversteps was a step towards clarity, this is a step back.

That's not a bad thing at all. It reminds me of Quaristice but with the songs fully fleshed out.. some tracks evoke old dubstep too.

Luckily it was prepositioned (is that a word?) by 'old' as in 'pre-shite', remember the genre did actually have some sort of musical integrity at some point:

I haven't eaten a Wagon Wheel since 07/11/07... ilovecubus.co.uk - 25ml of mp3 taken twice daily.

Just because this guy works for a music publication doesn't mean he has a clue. There's probably one or two tracks with some bass and he makes the dubstep comparison because as anybody in the know will tell you: Dubstep invented bass.

just listened to the Oversteps tour recordings and there is quite a bit of wobbling going on in there, not dubstep sounding but i could see how an idiot would think dubstep when hearing a similar sound

Well, it was imo. All sounds more distinct, etc. I could hear in spl9 that they had changed up the track several times, as opposed to the more loopy stuff from before. I'm thinking these new tracks will have more distinct sections and that's why he's saying they're fleshed out. At least, I could hear that in spl9. Sounds nice too.
