The Plc ccc

Anyone figured this track out? The sounds they throw in here are really intriguing. I don't know where to begin.

At certain points they're definitely trying to emulate throat singing. (A clear nod to Glen Velez, I think starting at 3:20) The acid lines are ridiculous. There are these highly trippy sounds (vocal manipulations?) I can't really describe, they make them sound like....thumb pianos? Bells? (Which reminds me of Jpace by Phoenecia). And how did they do that thumping bass drum sound?

Fucking great track. Even the "static" is perfect.

One of Autechre's best tracks.

It's a sample from The Plclcpc, just repeated and built from there or something.

The whole Quadrange EP is fucking money, insane shit. Probably the most underrated thing they've ever done among ae fans.

Such mastery of making music that on the surface level is highly repetitive, but if you pay attention is moving in a thousand directions, but totally smoothly. Exploring a thousand ideas in every track.

9010171-121 has the same percussive sounds as vl al 5..I think

Yeah, Quadrange!

I remember being disappointed by Quaristice at first, then liking Versions more, then loving the Quadrange straight away.

I've been relistening to all The Quaristice stuff the last couple of days so this thread is a nice coincidence.

How could I not have loved Simmm, Outho9x Rale WNSN and loads of others? Sorry Sean and Bob, I was wrong about Quarisitce.

Those Quadrange tracks are so dark and cavernous ;)

All the 2008 stuff is furiously creative, quadrange probably being the most magical of them all.

That subtle, almost nonexistant melody that comes in on perlence losid 2!

Cavernous is a great word for it

the Quaristice package is my favorite ae material.

it doesn't seem to get much watmm love?

i still wish they had included a greater variety of tracks on that ep, instead of all the 90101 versions. like a more fleshed out take on simm, theswere, ...

good point,

I wish they'd thought of releasing various versions like this for Draft 7.30... although getting up to ver. 30 was probably more of a quality control issue rather than intentionally creating wildly different versions of tracks (as was the case with Quadrange).

perlence losid 2 is an all time fave of mine. what a hidden beast.

Quadrange and Versions are definitely some of my top AE. I always sort of forget to list them when I'm ordering my favorites (confield draft etc) but really I think they are definitely up there on part with the best LPs

I listened to Perlence subrange all the way through two days ago while drawing... There is definitely a very drawn out pulse running through it that shifts the pitch of the melody. VERY subtle shit.

the plc ccc and the plclcpc are so much better than the plc

perlence losid 2 is also fucking amazing

is there anything in the world that sounds anything like quaristice/versions/quadrange?

Another one of the Retarded IDM^TM sort (see Mike Ink remix). Those 'awww' and overall 'la-la-la' feeling makes for a good degradation.

I always thought this had a similar vibe to Quaristice but with its on thing going on

But yeah I love Quadrange and Versions but Quaristice its self not so much for some reason. Like some else said on here somewhere when I got versions it was like "this is the proper album!" and Quadrange was a wicked bonus & has some of their best stuff on it.

Did always mean to make my own Quaristice playlist but never got round to it.

they included some awesome versions of uviol, VL AL 5 and some more tracks in the 2008 radio broadcast

I've been spending some time with quadrange over the last few days. fucking righteous.

Without seeing this thread earlier I just burned quadrange to four CDrs, looking forward to listening to them as the non-BleepEPs. I remember it was quite a buzz downloading the whole thing in instalments.

that was super fun

nice i will check this out

Fucking love Quadrange. All the Quaristice era stuff really really shines with repeated listens. There's all these little details that you pick up on after a while, tiny little bits that link the different versions of the tracks together. And yes, Perlence losid 2 is an extraordinary piece of music.

Also, something should be said for the sheer trippiness of these sounds! Like the vocal manipulations in the plc - some seriously crazy mindfuck stuff, I love it.

Quadrange puts quaristice in perspective.

Perlence losid 2 is so beautiful.

very hypnotizing

the vocal manipulations make me think of husks from mass effect, fucking scary sounding
