show pls

n Cur is nice yeah. feels like a little extra tail to the album, which is fitting obv. reminds me of my early MIDI experiments sequencing the stock MIDI sounds, but really just sounds like some strange place between really old and really new. pseudo-nostalgic, i guess?

it would be fantastic if they'd release a comp of all those japanese bonus tracks.  What is preventing that from happening?

Embarrassment at how shitty and non-selling it would be?

Shitty is a matter of opinion but you can't seriously think it would be non-selling.  There are plenty of people, (me included), who would like those tracks on hard copy.  I don't own any of those Beat records releases.  No matter; much, much thinner and sketchier comps have been releasedover the course of history; ae discards would be nearly prime cuts by comparison.

I seriously think that, how do you know there's plenty? Do you have an idea ~how many people buy regular releases for a start?

And what's this argument that sketchier comps were released? Ae should lower their standard closer to the worst releases in history coz they don't care or why, exactly?

Shitty or not to you, they were deemed as good as bonus tracks go by their creators, and in a comp context they would flow way worse than as an optional outro.

They've been pretty worthwhile since 2008.

N Cur is so lush.  I really had to change hats from NTS to get into this album.  Glad I did.  It's basically Ambersteps.  Does anyone else think that track title is a reference to ncurses ?

Dunno, combining different Autechre eras on a single release... Can't see that work

Probably, but also encore (which makes the track titles seem not that careless, considering telling titles like si00 and au14)

What are you seeing in si00 ?  Am I out of the loop or just stupid ?

Part of the album title "operation" implied?

You mean like this?

Incur > N Cur, seems pretty straightforward as ae titles go.

Yeah, this is a box set with different albums, tracks from different eras aren't mixed on one single album. That Warp Spotify playlist about AE someone posted here is a better example of mixing different AE styles from different times in a playlist. The difference is that they could choose tracks from the entire discography and therefore could choose tracks that somehow transition into each other well even though they belong to different eras. If they make a compilation of bonus tracks the selection is much smaller and harder to make work. You'd end up with Incunabula & Tri Rep tracks on the same release as keyosc. Doesn't really fit in my extremely humble opinion

So, in other words, a single release combining tracks from different eras, ie, a comp, (at least one of many possible kinds).  Yeah......

Umm, I don't see any choosing on the EPS comp: it is simply a chronological compilation of all AE singles/eps up to that point.  

I meant the Warp playlist, don't have it at hand right now

Farnsworth indeed.

Glad n cur is up there with the better bonus tracks.

You never know if you're getting top-tier stuff like medrey or keyosc, or some bizarre afterthought like xektses sql or Zurich 2001.

I quite like xektses sql

or it refers to the nth iteration of a recursive loop

Nah, it's not those. There's some more ambient style track that has a really long outro, I think, with lush pads and lasers firing in the background. Or then I've dreamed the whole fucking thing.

 

Maybe this?  Just noticed it today...
