Guest Posted February 23, 2019 Report Share Posted February 23, 2019 just noticed that the highly anticipated george starostin review of NTS is up. i've never seen anyone so willing to write multiple essays' worth of words about a thing they admit they don't even like or understand at all. dude is a total enigma to me.

Guest Posted February 26, 2019 Report Share Posted February 26, 2019 (edited) The Sam Byers piece was really good. Writing about music and dancing about architecture and all that, but this was an interesting read indeed. Edit: Sam, not Same.

donquixote Posted February 28, 2019 Report Share Posted February 28, 2019 (edited) This georgey what's his chops is an odd twat from what I can tell. All the other reviews I bothered to look at on his site are old shit. Why would I listen to a chap who's apparently suffering from the common trap of only being able to get a brain buzz from shit logged in teenage memories.

splesh Posted January 26, 2022 Report Share Posted January 26, 2022 It's been four years and people still can't help but rag on NTS Sessions (and elseq 1-5 for that matter) regarding their lengths. Okay...don't listen to it all in one go. Problem solved. I don't think "too much of a good thing" applies to music that you can listen to as much or as llittle of as you'd like. For some reason it bugs me... enough to bump this thread after it being dead 3 years. toaoaoad, Draft78, X4creek and 1 other 4 Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/95141-autechre-nts-1-4-reviews/page/10/#findComment-2904047 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, it was presented as a four part thing where each instalment works individually on its own so I don't think it was ever meant to be listened to in full. splesh and xox 2 Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide eclipsis's signature Hide all signatures cairnem.com Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/95141-autechre-nts-1-4-reviews/page/10/#findComment-2904063 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the fact that it was all released at the same time (well, originally broadcast days apart from physically released at once) means that it is perceived as a self contained release. Film trilogys are released years apart to maximise exposure, spread costs and allow parts to sink in. Perhaps if NTS 1-4 was released with a couple of months between each show (or seasonally - is part 1 Spring?) then I would agree more. The cynical part of me thinks it is one 8 hour+ session that was just cut up into perfect 2 hour chunks in order to fill the allocated NTS broadcast slots.

eye Posted January 26, 2022 Report Share Posted January 26, 2022 (edited) Then again there's all end, which feels more like a closer to the 8 hour thing. In some interview Rob spoke about being pleased with people going for full immersion. Either way, it seems to work both as self-contained releases and a larger scale thing, so it says something about good sequencing. But does it even matter? You can engage with it in whatever way you like. Why would you self-impose listening rules based on perceived artistic intent, if they're keeping you from listening :) Edited January 26, 2022 by eye X4creek 1 Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/95141-autechre-nts-1-4-reviews/page/10/#findComment-2904067 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soloman Tump Posted January 26, 2022 Report Share Posted January 26, 2022 (edited) I have never listened to all 8 hours in one sitting. It is NTS1-4 and I listen to them as either separate releases (on vinyl) or shuffled random playlist via wav. I guess the question should be, were these sessions commissioned for NTS as 2 hour bundles, or were the sessions selected to fill 2 hour slots... Without NTS, it could have been released by Warp as Warp1-8 in 1 hour chunks, 6 months apart, maximising vinyl / CD sales etc.... Or just digitally as an 8 hour impromptu broadcast via Twitch that only 5 people sat and listened to all of it. Then maybe someone recorded a bit of it and it ended up on youtube, but most of it was lost forever... And therefore my point is, the way the music is presented and marketed makes a huge difference to how we (the consumers) perceive it. But it's still full of great casual donks, i'm not disputing that...

beerwolf Posted January 13 Report Share Posted January 13 Never got into NTS. Elseq is in my top 3 Autechre releases but I think that it blew a circuit board in my brain and I became unable to cope with any similar sized releases. Maybe I should get out the soldering iron and replace it. I was hoping they were gonna return to the 3 or 4 track EP style of their early days! Hah!

I'm not sure as I haven't listened much to NTS. It was at that point that I finally felt I was drowned by a wave, blacked out and engulfed into the abyss. The journey I had loyally traveled with Autechre was finally over. Year zero.
