@jaderpansen: hard to put my finger on it. sometimes something just makes Alco cringe. that was such a something

 

aye, fair enough. anyway, "this is supposed to be a happy thread, let's not bicker and argue about who embarrassed who".

i think it's safe to say by now that this release henceforth completes my "no1 ae" list to a holy trinity (lp5,draft, elseq). impeccable.

 

yeah i can't really comprehend how amazing this is. i love it so much and i've barely scratched the surface. i find myself genuinely wondering how music this amazing is possible.

He's mentioned it a few times before. On twitter, and on one other video. Also if you watch to the end of the video you linked, he explicitly says he doesn't know if he will review it yet, but he might have time during a classics week coming up to fully listen to it.

 

yeah, I did see the end. didn't know his other mentionings of it however.

i loving elseq so much, this is a dream, best band ever!!!

All the outercur albums need is a bit more melody according to the leek from Drillbit Taylor.

I don't even remotely understand the complaints about lacking melody

Every snippet you can choose from elseq contains hummable melodies. I mean am I missing something here or hearing things that don't exist? There's all melody, this could all be played (albeit losing important timbral details) on a piano with lots of time spent transcribing it. Lacking melody? What?

This week at work I ain't been able to sit at my desk and listen to the headphones too much so I've been getting tracks stuck in my head, tracks I've listened to the previous night and are in the subconscious. First thing I do when I get home is try to find the track in my head, but I have no idea what its called or what elseq chunk it's from. So I end up immersed in the whole thing, and forget the track I was looking to begin with. And so the weekday cycle continues.

I'm going to reserve my final judgement until I know what Fandango Fink's.

Yeah Fantano, think I heard about him here on watmm, around the time he reviewed Exai I guess.

Will be watching his exaggerated face forming opinions on Elseq too, it's just irresistible.

Part 1 sounds flawless upon repeated listens. You just listen to it all the way through.

pendulu hv moda is one of my fav tracks of the whole bunch. so lush !!! :^)

I'm probably the only person on WATMM that feels this way, but the AE live stuff is more for me. I'm enjoying tracks off the Elseq1-5 releases but overall the live stuff is more for me.

It's more accessible I guess. I find it difficult to get into really long sporadic tracks, that's all. Not slagging the releases, there are some gems on here for sure.

Maybe over time I'll change my mind.

hey, there's the seeds of c16 deep tread being sown at 23.30 minutes in on the Grafenhainichen set, thought it sounded familiar!

Could this guy sound any more like Neil Goldman?

@AJW: in fact it's in every set brussels (53:35) onwards.

for some reason the guy reminds me more of this old blog called "men who look like old lesbians" http://menwholooklikeoldlesbians.blogspot.be/

for some reason

actually scratch that: krakow 54:30, first signs.

pretty sure fantanos review will be exactly like his review of Exai

since elseq came out ive been listening to ae_live a bunch. digging elseq plenty, its like i dont want to get behind or something.

theres so much to still unlock or whatever. krakow makes me suspect owdegger snuck in an hour long composition, standing behind their gear watching the crowd listen to it for the first time. the beginning section, the first 10 minutes or something, i dont see how any of that could be improv, it's so intricate, layered, perfect, and demonstrative of masterful composition.

I said as much in an live set from the Oversteps tour thread last night. I'm feeling the live sets the past 5-6 years more than I am the 'proper' releases (Exai, L-Event, elseq) and though all of the releases have some amazing tracks, overall they're sort of hit and miss for the most part.

After 22 days of essentially exclusive listens to Elseq I can say its moved from the like/promising to love category. I have still have not really deeply delved into most of 2 and 3 (specifically elyc6 0nse, c7b2, TBM2, and mesh cinereaL),. I am hard pressed to pick a favorite between 1,4 and 5 at this point. Their differences become more apparent and each is close to perfect standing alone. Oneum continues to be massively underrated. Latentcall and pendulu hv moda may be the most exemplary tracks (and two of my favorites).

elseq feels decidedly less jammy now that I have the song structures and progressions more learned. It does remain fluid and loose feeling

have been drifting back torward the live sets again recently ... post -elseq.

i was finding them super chaotic and harsh at first, but now i am finding them very enjoyable and relatable. not sure if its cos i was mostly listening to the first of the aelive sets earlier, where as now im more listening to the later ones ... or if its the elseq familiarity sinking in... either way... i'm feeling happy to welcome AE_LIVE to the family :^)
