Sign is hip-hop, if we see hip-hop as a deeply rooted system of growth and language and construction, so pervasive that it can be felt more easily than seen. It is not necessarily helpful to say that Sign is hip-hop, but it is also true and confusing.

These WAVs are lush as.  One nice thing about speakers as opposed to headphones is you can listen louder without as much concern about the effect on one's hearing

Yeah, felt the same way reading that

had my second listen and i'm gonna sleep now like a baby who had a fat juicy tit full of warm milk, peace out!

godammit F7 is just too good..... i want to plug it into my soul for all eternity. it's the perfect version of the "screamy synth" type of track that i love to death, like known(1) and YJY UX. when i hear i literally hear voices screaming the same as what's inside my soul

Wow, that's a pretty bold proclamation.  I still put my money on Sublimit and YJY UX.

Drane 2 says hi

I honestly don't understand the love for SIGN. I mean... I love it... I think this might be one of the best albums by Ae I've heard in decades... but what is it about everything else since LP5 that I'm missing?

Just started again. Shit M4 Lema is completely different 2nd time round, sitting down.

Okay, maybe not LP5, but Oversteps... let's overlook the trilogy that escaped me of Confield, Draft 7.30 and Untilted.

Everything else?

meanwhile this is what i wanted autechre to sound like. oversteps, but even better.

I realised I generalised and followed up. Like the noob that I am...

if this is better than Exai i'm gonna shit myself

I'm not exactly sure about why the bros title their songs but the music is an art and if you have the time and money to invest in it. Have a listen it's all worth while, if you have the patience. It's complex no doubt!

it is so different that it is impossible to make a comparison. Perhaps there is a point of contact with jatevee C and YJY UX, but the context has profoundly changed

Maybe that's the reason.

More  than any other other album this feels like a distillation of everything they've done previously. With all of the contemporary production.

Anyone else hearing what seems to be deliberate “remixing” or mutations of previous tracks (kinda like sinister sintrail)? Track 3=bqbq and eastre, Track 2=known1, etc??

Going to listen for this - hadn't noticed yet.

Did this reviewer just discover hip-hop, like, yesterday?

As always, the latest album has another leap forward in the clarity/fidelity/definition of the sounds... rather stunning how well they manage to keep that up

I absolutely don't see those as being a trilogy. Confield was kind of ending, Untilted was a kind of beginning, and Draft was something of a one off; there were definitely Confield-ish moments, but I don't hear anything Untilted-ish.
