Mine arrived on Wednesday (Australia).

Digging it a lot. The first 3 tracks is a great sequence, all great in their own right.

Just rang up my local record store, and they put me a 12" aside. Gonna stroll in there tomorrow and hand over some hard cash.

They also sell really good coffee, and will hopefully have some other cool stuff too.

Much more satisfying than ordering from blerp!

Mine arrived yesterday (Germany). Pretty late but so what.

Ok so I spent a good while last night trying to wrap my head around this release. Late to the game, but whatever.

Firstly, great vinyl pressing, cannot fault that. It is also great that it fits inside the Exai vinyl box.

Musically, I can understand why some people initially did not like Osla for N, the coughing beat is a bit grating but IMO it works, especially at the track breaks down towards the end.

I actually really like Newbound, a distinctive melody and some crushing beats, kinda nightmare-ish vibes from this one.

Tac Lacora is a great opener and the much celebrated "silent moment" really hits home hard - silence in a busy track always sounds great.

Probably more thoughts later as it starts to sink in.

Overall I like it, glad they got back to making a shorter (more concise) EP again. Hope they follow it up with another EP someday.

So, has anyone figured out what meter "Osla for n" is in?

Pretty sure the beat at the beginning is in 9/8.

It's 4/4 all the way through (check the hihats) but the snare is just syncopated as fuck. I think the bassdrums are even the same all the way through.

it's fun to make this an unsanctioned 45 minute mini-album by appending 6852 and Ts1a to the beginning

Man I was just hoping they were writing in something other than 4/4 for a change, oh well.

I can imagine way more "conventional-sounding" rhythms that are in different time signatures, like cichli (5/4). This track is way harder to grok than cichli.

The way it sounds rhythmically doesn't ultimately depend on what time signature you represent it in, it's just a convention that helps with communication.

Way harder than that. They've done a few oddball time signatures ("Characi" is in 13/8), but this is the hardest one to pin down.

That was my intention before it was released :)

(I added them to the end though)

No I know, I was just thinking, I don't know. Don't really care about time sigs and what not as long as the good music's there. It was just a thought. Since they're so good at manipulating 4/4 and making it sound nothing like conventional common time that I wonder how/what they would/could do with other tim sigs. Btw Cichli's my favorite ae track ever.

I don't even try to grasp the rhythm most of the time with their more complex tracks, I just let it take me. am I doing it wrong?

Yeah, they sure have a knack for some serious syncopation/funk. Some of their drum patterns are so expressive, that I'm like, "god DAMN" or something, zole.

yeah, at first I sometimes have no idea about what's going on, and then suddenly it all clicks. I was ridiculously amazed when I realised that Gantz Graf actually is a pretty straight 4/4 beat just fucked to oblivion.

wasn't one of the newer autechre tracks found to be in 9/8 ? I forgot which one, maybe i'm mis-remembering. Either something off Exai or Move of Ten

I think perhaps one of the compilation tracks?

That said, everyone is so quick to throw around odd time signature accusations when a lot of their stuff is in 4/4.. just sayin'
