LOL £50 for a poster. TDR are a bunch of fucking clowns. If you spend £50 on that poster then YOU are the artwork.. and nobody gets you.

But it's printed with ultra black!

 

Mmm, not sure I agree, I think it's pretty good and I hope it doesn't sell out...ahhh....wait...ahhhhh...yes...yes!....I see, I see, I see!!!!

Yeah that poster is well crap, fuck those clowns at tDR!!! What do they know about anything? Nothing!! Zilch!! Fuck All!! Squat!!!

(keep those fuckers off the scent and in a few more weeks and my piggybank will be full, then it'll be hanging in The Cave)

great mix!

Every time I revisit elseq I'm floored by it. Something unfolds in a new way on each listen. 13x0 step is a recent favorite.

A logical conclusion along Autechre's trajectory will be installing the next album and letting it unfurl organically forever.

I personally love the long format, 20+ minute let everything hang out and shift around tracks. It complements the mind perfectly. I hesitate to call elseq my favorite release, but I am in love with their output from Exai forward.

when listening to this, it's not difficult to imagine autechre will be releasing music long after these two dudes pass away. it seems inevitable.

They will make a bot that continually processes and spits out albums every 3 years. Eventually it will sputter out and die, perhaps in 150 years. It's final dying breath will be an album of beatles covers. Thus ends the story of autechre.

ok finally gonna give part 5 a first listen tonight

and nobody ever saw or heard from Schlitze ever again.

The end.

By the way, did anyone notice how only few people/sites decided to put out an elseq review?

^ Too much work for most music writers. :)

I guess so. Not an easy task to review such monstrosity...

This one is good. It seems over-intellectualised, but offers some interesting thoughts: http://www.caesuraonline.com/caesura-online/2016/6/14/autechre-elseq-1-5-bret-schneider

some really good points buried in a lot of floofy doof bullshit there in that review....good stuff tho!

the emphasis on FM synthesis on this record seems misinformed and out of date...fuck knows what's going on in the land of elseq. did I miss an interview or something discussing technique?

using laptops as protest and resistance he he love it.

kinda seems like a computer wrote that review.....

i don't always protest and resist, but when i do i use a laptop.

Got mine quickly after it sold out on TDR...since I'm a grown ass man I can blow $80 on occasion. I'm surprised it's not sold out on bleepstores yet

morbid thought but i agree. it's almost as if that's what rob & sean are trying to build with their software system, something that incorporates their decision making process & aesthetic sense and can run on autopilot & keep generating new material to a certain extent. they still have their hands on the controls but what will their system be capable of 10-20 years from now?

great post!!

yes the magic-eye thing...imagine developing the same concept behind the trippy posters beyond mere stoner black light novelty, beyond functional special fx shots...into a richly emotive and expressive art form with incredible depth of detail

one way to describe their work that works for me

Yeah, great post AE35unit. I'm finding part5 different from the rest but I don't know if that's cos I waited so long to hear it after the other tracks which I listened to as a bunch, repeatedly. Listening habits dictate appreciation? 5 was isolated. sPth was the one I got into instantly. I'm gonna have to spend some time with the other tracks on 5.

Also, after much deliberation I bought that poster today :facepalm:Arrives tomorrow via DPD. I am the artwork

When I looked a few days ago it was sold out, how?

It's no longer in stock on TDR's shop but there are still posters avail at the AE blerp store

Yeah, got it from AE_STORE this arvo. Invest now, Spiral. Before it's too late.

I did this because the Quaristice steelcase thing still haunts me.
