9A9A Ran

The track 9A9A Ran on the new touched compilation Covert 2 has a heavy ae vibe (that said I have listened to about 10 seconds on my phone speakers so my feelings might change on this). Name also is pretty typical. Other opinions. At this point I am jonesing so hard for the livesets anything I can get is sweet succour.

nah, nice enough track though. sounds too much like their stuff from 98ish to be a current autechre track.

It could be Ae. It also might not be Ae. Until we have a box to open and observe the dead cat in question, who knows? (besides Norvum)

Good track though.

Agreed with you on that caze. My guess would be that it's exm, who definitely falls into that AE-clone territory with some of his tunes, and has released stuff on Touched before. Sounds like him more than AE of any era to my ears.

Having now listened properly I'm pretty sure it is. I know what you mean, the rhythms and drum sounds are very reminiscent of lp5, but other stuff: the main melody sound is reminiscent of some sounds on oversteps, the way the track evolves, the ducking/gating type stuff in the second half of the track, the pad stabs (er, if you get me). It's also a total banger. I mean if it isn't autechre, it's someone doing a masterful facsimile of a masterful autechre track...fwiw

I'll have to check me out some EXM.

Doesn't sound like Sam and Bob to me.

If in doubt it's Syl Kougai ;)

it's syl, no doubt 

If that's Autechre, I'm Mozart

greatest form, but mofo content maaaan == autechre

mosty form, weak content =/= autechre

great form, weak content == syl or such

weak form, weak content == regular ae wannabe == lol

Listening again, probably wishful thinking on my part.

Still, nice track.

yes, still very nice track.

I could buy this being an ae track they knocked together a while back and has been sitting on the shelf. I love it anyway, absolutely shit hot.

^ yeah they do have knack for putting out the odd thing that you'd never guess was by them.

Note/phrase-wise though, sounds like Plaid

..."twels" from the first Covert was more ambiguous, this time there is no roz/seaz involvent, it's quite an evidence to me...

anyway, my vote goes to the EXM theory, for 9a9a ran and Twels, too... 

I can't see Twels being anybody other than AE. Sounded very Exai era to me.

nah

For me the clickedy-clackedy percussion layer doesn't seem like it structually evolves enough throughout the track to be Ae. Normally if you skip though an Ae track you have a 'how the hell did we get here' vibe, whereas if you skip though this it kinda doesn't change that much throughout

mhm, when twels dropped I was in Obel and Jaderpansen's camp but someone pointed out how well EXM aped that kinda Glaetchy sound. Gotta admit it when I checked EXM out it spread doubt.
