im listening like "oh yeah its good yep" then a moment comes where i realize "oh wait it really is good" way better than the previous "this is good" and its like that for an hour

Metaz form8 is transcendent

si00

another german review

(not all that bad, but some weird factual errors)

i dont know, while reading the pitchfork review i had to stop and check who the author was because it seemed uncharacteristically good?
good music writing makes me want to re-listen from a new perspective. it can sometimes feel like a key to decipher their more difficult work.

ie. what sounds like a submarine crumpling beneath sea pressure, they unleash a single chord that stands among the most beautiful sounds they have created in 29 years.

Guardian review:

https://www.theguardian.com/music/2020/oct/16/autechre-sign-review-warp

one from the Guardian, slightly underwhelmed

edit: aaaand another one on Clash, more favourable

edit edit: still another one, in german, on HHV

priorities

Philip Sherburne is alright.

Don't necessarily agree with his take on more recent Autechre, the review of the album is p on point for most part. Goes a bit wild with the thesaurus.

Prefer Nos' Pitchfork review of NTS, got the feeling he really knew where he was coming from.

Jesus that Clash review could have really used a proof reading before publishing.

pitchfork liking it is a SIGN, right?
friendly reminder...

no further questions your honor...

LP came today!! i feel silly bc i already listened to the FLACs today, but i happened to start with F7 earlier and now i'm breezing along the M4 Lema highway indescribable.

current tally -

M4 Lema, F7, Metaz form8, sch.mefd2, R cast - instant hits already in my god-tier favourites

esc desc, gr4, th red a, psin AM - liking these songs, growing on me

si00, au14 - not clicked, kind of annoying. but everyone in the autechre.ws chat called au14 "penis music" which was awesome.

Vinyl and CD have arrived, I am at work so will be vinyl spinning tonight.

The cover is really vibrant - more so than I anticipated.  It's kinda almost luminous. Which is rather fitting given he music we have. 

So, raspberries to all the artwork haters

Ice fishing with Tom Jenkinson

yes, either that, or maybe Biosphere invited him for some glacial field-recording worksop up in the arctic mountains.

"Metaz form8" is a melodic first degree relative of "Bronchusevnmx24". I don't have my tools with me but, depending on the key, the two could be crossfaded into an epic celebration of mechanical gloom. I searched the thread to see if anyone else had picked up on that but I didn't see anything.

Wonder if I'm going to receive my package today, my post usually arrives at 5

i rest my case...

if you're using a Pitchfork review to bolster your argument

you're probably making a silly argument

because Pitchfork is worthless trash and has been for many many years.
