Strange, I find it sounding especially empty on headphones. The first time I tried I took them off with disgust during Plc. First time such a thing happened.

I also find a lot of it quite empty sounding on headphones, especially that plc track (which has a pretty dire ending, to be honest, although I'm impressed with the daring it must have taken to ruin a track with such a promising opening.)
Loud, out of speakers, though, the album works very nicely for me. I imagine since it was jammed, it would have also been made loud, out of speakers.

i remember when we were all listening to it that night when it was released on bleep, you must admit it was a special night for us. people were quick to make up thier minds on that evening and i'v noticed the same poeple who didn't like it are now sying they do. so if you'v just got hold of it, give it some time.

can you define a serious review? : )
it is sonically extremly interesting..it's sort of my belive that the more of that music they played in those xlt sessions you like, the better you will like this album..surely you could like it even if you'd never heard any music beforehand, but if you did it will just make sense to you..it works perfect as an album (remember when we had that 'album' discussion!!), it's rich in detail, dynamic, rhytmically intriguing and pleasurable listen in any situation!

i found it much better after i listened to it a shit ton of times on shuffle. i was less focused on the flow and track names/numbers and more focused on rhythms and structures of individual tracks.

headphones definitely give a much different listening experience. A lot of the processing they use has a sort of psychoacoustic effect. listening to it on a good speaker system was nice but i think headphones was much better

yes jackeroffer, i'm glad you agree, you can hear so much more detail in the texture of the sounds and its so much more of an intimate experience

An ok album with the magical ability to make Untilted sound WAY better. Quaristice is like the negative space of Autechre's discography... if you pretend its not there it helps you appreciate everything else much better.

i think that there's a lot more drippy goo surrounding all of the sharp metallics of usual. it also seems that they really trimmed the fat off of a lot of stuff. instead of desonstructing things for 4 minutes, they do it in a minute here. also, i think that if most of these tracks were all 7 minutes, these would be the parts that everyone talks about anyway...

i think quaristice deserve an original format to be analized,
not shitty mp3 burnt in a cd that i only played once...
so, probably, youll give me your review before i even have it.
all i can say in my only and distant listening is i enjoyed a lot last track : big ambient one. and the rest sounded like latest autechre (fucking complex and mindblowing) but changing his sound palette to a more dry synthetic electric style...
i promise i will give you a serious review, the day i get it and have it all under control, what will take months or even years or never if i have not enought patience for it...

I really think I've heard more than I ever want to hear jackeroffer and Gl0tch speaking about on any subject, let alone the enjoyable music of Autechre.
For the record I am British, I have *very bad* teeth and every American I have ever met or worked with has been very funny, great company and not wMw, jackeroffer or Gl0tch.
