AE_LIVE

the steel quaristice album came with the extended versions disc as well, which was worth the price imo. that has some of the best stuff from the entire quari dump.

nagano is fucking insane

 

Agreed (played this set this morning)

Enjoying Dublin again on my commute all week.... savage abstractness!

Finally bought the 2nd batch. Started with Grafenhainichen, and oh my god is this marvelous. I had hard times trying to "get" the 4 first live recording (found it pretty harsh at first), but it's getting better and better every time I listen to one of the sets.

Can't wait to rediscover Krakow when I'll finish listening to the 5 newest beasts

Why so quiet? Sets started to be boring? Dull? Too overwhelming? Exhausting?

Dear lord, GRAFENHAINICHEN is the BLAST!!!!

In response to wredny's post, re-listening to these sets so much I can't be arsed posting. I just listen to them in awe. I guess everyone else is digging them more too.

I noticed that i like playing them loud off speakers instead of in headphones.

usually the opposite for me when AE releases are concerned.

I currently have an AE break.

That might be because they are not really properly mixed for demanding headphones environment. But I still listen to them on headphones too but the mix then loses punch because it is frankly quite over-compressed. Loudness is forgiving.

Hits from the Krems

yeh on a break and am listening to some top 2015/14 tracks from various friends .

But now and then the two AE_LIVE tracks i chose come on and i'm fucking there boys..... sooooo good.

Still blasting all of these. Most recently Krems.

What does everyone consider to be the most mindmelting segment?

For me it's a toss-up between the final minutes of Nagano and the final minutes of Krems. Absolutely ridiculous on both counts.

Just finished listening to all nine in a row...although in sequence by city's alphabetical order rather than chronological by performance date because my mp3 player insisted

Did not have the time yet to blast one of those sets on proper speakers. I'm home alone right now so I guess it is time to blow some Ae as loud as possible. So...Nagano you say ?

I would say Grafenhainichen now! feel somehow similar to Brussels, probably the way the bass is dealt in the beginning, more funky i guess

the part at 10:40-14:20 on Grafenhainichen is the only set where they do it right. Proper balance between being accessible and mangled/experimental.

Noticed a weird similarity between Dour and Gräfenhainichen. I think it's that bass synth that shows up about three-quarters in.

I listened to Utrecht last night, and my wife was "what the actual fuck is this" for the last 20 minutes.

Made for uncomfortable listening because I knew how difficult she was finding it.

I was not conceding with the volume though.

So she actually tried to listen to it for 20 minutes? That is beautiful.

Yeah she stuck it out until the end, mainly just to humour me I suspect. I could tell she wasn't enjoying it but fair play to her for not storming out of the lounge to find something better to do like nail her ears to the table

That is great. My girlfriend has, luckily, a good taste in music (thanks to her I have discovered some of my favourite bands) so I can listen to whatever I want even if she's around. Of course, when there is a headache or no mood for the music we both respect that.

My dad had to limit himself with the music so much because of my mum. I couldn't stand it...

sorry guys what are those little blue boxes theyre using live?

DI boxes.

thanks
