Still quite let down by it though sadly. Do absolutely love "1 1 is" and "Spl9" though. "Bladelores" and "Irlite" would be faves too but they're too patchy to go mad over. Fond of a few other tracks but find them hard to go nuts for overall. Listening to "Flep" right now. Jesus, it really pains me to say it, but it's up there with the dullest autechre tracks going. Fahk Which do you consider to be the dullest autechre tracks?

fizzkinz Posted May 9, 2013 Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 I have no idea what the hell is going on in this thread... Clearly we aren't listening to the same Flep.

I agree. On headphones you start to notice other layers, or layers that you start to pay more attention to because of the sound. But shaking the house is also a must. ok i'm gonna have to check this out when i get some good headphones, right now i'm just hooked on blasting it through the speakers of my panzerdivision soundsystem I wish to live in a house with no neighbours attached. Likewise, and living in NYC I have no car to blast this in either. If I want to listen to my music loud, it's had to be on headphones for over 5 years now. Today I had the chance to play it quite loud in a car.

With Exai, the actual production properties seemed to have a higher defining value for the tracks than the musical progressions within nice post Edited May 10, 2013 by impotentwhitecapitalist Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide vertsk8er419's signature Hide all signatures youtube • last.fm Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/78237-exai-deflation-has-set-in/page/4/#findComment-2001096 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Posted May 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 (edited) Dunno, just find "Flep" a bit grating and long-drawn out, especially after "Vekos". There's a nice variety of sounds and vibes for the first 5 tracks, but having two hard, jackhammer workouts like that back-to-back made the buzz wear thin for me. I think it's mainly a production thing though - in comparison to Untitled-era tracks like "Augmatic Disport" they sound quite muddy to me. In the same way, "Fleure" just screeches a bit too much and makes me jones for "Acroyear2".

Guest theSun Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 always skip t ess xi and usually skip flep. however tuinorizn is fun when i'm not feeling sensitive to high pitch sounds. 1 1 is seems a little gimmicky to me now, but still a pretty amazing track conceptually. cloudline still unlistenable. theres my updates guys stay tuned Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/78237-exai-deflation-has-set-in/page/4/#findComment-2001583 Share on other sites More sharing options...

awepittance Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 I have to admit that this album has sort of slipped off my musical listening radar as well. Ultimately i don't think it has as much staying and 'grower' power as Untilted or Quaristice. I'd put it squarely on par with Oversteps. Not enough hidden or 'puzzle' elements that other AE albums had for it to have the same long term attachment Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide awepittance's signature Hide all signatures Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/78237-exai-deflation-has-set-in/page/4/#findComment-2002018 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alcofribas Posted May 11, 2013 Report Share Posted May 11, 2013 i completely disagree with people suggesting there isn't enough "hidden" stuff on this record. the tracks have plenty of subtle elements that reveal themselves over repeat listens and the expert production on this record creates such mind-fucking instances of "wtf is this awesome shit right here?!" i can't imagine people not hearing this. but even if one could make the argument that there aren't enough secret codes or something, i think the compositions themselves are incredibly elegant and refined and the 'chre really seem on top of their game here amd it's truly inspiring shit. if y'all want secret puzzles and shit go play myst. - sean Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/78237-exai-deflation-has-set-in/page/4/#findComment-2002252 Share on other sites More sharing options...
apriorion Posted May 11, 2013 Report Share Posted May 11, 2013 I still think this is a great album; there is no "exai" deflation for me, whatsoever. I gave it a break for a couple weeks and returned to listening to the vinyl while reading a novel, and that was just pure bliss.
