L-event review thread

first reviews are out; let's collect them in here

the skinny

london in stereo

lonely machines

I would give those reviews a three outta six, or a four to five outta ten.

Remember: Outta ten; Ten outta.

'techre heads is a great term. Almost sounds like pecker heads.

"metallic squelch and percussive serrations"

love it.

Lonelymachines cannot be right because they reviewed Exai's cloudline badly. cloudline is a standout of Exai. Perfect funk like rew(1) on moveoften

Comparing cloudline to rew(1)? Perhaps you've got a version of Exai where the sides are mixed up?

I feel the comparison too, they both have the same sort of discomforting groove, remind me of the intentionally non-metric album of the italian band Sinistri

Ha... No, both represent Ae funk to me. Funky and relaxed.

I thought the last sentence in The Skinny review was really apt and accurate. just a pity in my excitement last week when this dropped I had recommended everyone I know (regardless of musical taste) check this out as the hottest shit in town.

Review in German HHV Mag:

I love how the pitchfork review picks out Newbound and Bladelores from the Exai/L-event phase as excellent tracks. Typical. As is the rating.

pitchfork are a joke. I know you know I know. But the truth bears repeating.

I thought this quote at the end was pretty good. Overall the writeup was fair and worth reading. I generally hate what they say about Autechre though

Osla for n is an interesting one. It feels like it should go into epic beast mode about 3-5 mins in. I still like the path it takes though.

The pitchfork review had good phrases here and there. Still, it feels like a surface level examination, as always.

pitchfork truly is a joke. and in this particular case that is abundantly obvious. the review itself is nonsensical and helpless, and the 6.4 (D) rating finds no context in the body of the text. it's just half-baked, poseur "journalism."

blah blah blah, 6.4

they even got the number wrong,

it's 5.06
