Oversteps- Initial Impressions

the reason genres are objective is because the song is still
the same no matter who hears it. humans are taught to
associate certain sounds and styles with certain words.
the frequency content of the song is thus interpreted in a
similar way by the listener.

however, the value, emotion and meaning of a song does not
translate to the objective frequencies.
the value and meaning is interpreted only in the brain, and
since all humans and brains are equal, no person is more
right or less right than any other.

and also, even if they were, its everyones godgiven
fundamental right to be able to like whatever they want.

when i hear people say they dont like abstract music, saying
its not music cause it doesnt have melody etc, i know that i
feel different, and that its them who dont have the
experience necessary to enjoy that music.
we all take different paths in life and our brains ends up
differently, but that doesnt mean abstract music has any
kind of lesser value than melodic.

This leak made me do several things:

- Immediately go to bleep and preorder the actual release.

- Seriously consider upgrading my operating system and my
license to max/msp 5

- Anxiously await any recording / news of their upcoming
tour, what it sounds like, etc

Fuck, 2010 is turning out to be one of the best years in a
long time.

Totally agreed. And want to add something, that no mater how
different people see music, how different they understand
music, we share something common which I cant define, this
thing we call art.

I dont know what track it is... but I love how at about
50minutes in, its like the most predictable cheese dick
arpeggiated melody and basic rhythm, then they totall butt
fuck it with all this awesome noise distortion random
wankery so that you have nothing to grab ahold of.

I'm sorry to hear that sadist. Forgive me... as I want to
avoid any subjectivity conversation once again and at any
cost, but I just don't understand why people cant get behind
this. It seems that any argument towards not appreciating
this album contradicts why people fell in love with Autechre
to begin with. They're doing whatever the fuck they want
to.

Given their entire catalog, this album makes total sense to
me. I'm not an early day proponent blowing Amber-era
Autechre... Rather, I am in love with everything between Lp5
and Draft, and I despise Quaristice. Somehow this album
just resonates with me on such a uniquely fucked up level
that I havent felt since Confield first came out.

Could it have a smidge more of beat fuckery? Yes. Do I
suspect we'll see that sometime this year? Absolutely.

Look at it this way... perhaps this is the calm before the
storm.

xactly. i simply cannot understand how anyone here can cream
over Autechre in general, but instantly dismiss this for any
reason. It's not what you expected, great!

the problem for me is it just sounds a bit basic.
like the beat on 0=O, its just a rather tame pfft type
snare/kick..
the bell is kinda weird too. i dunno what it is but it
sounds weird.

i think however ilanders is a masterpiece. and see on see

Remember folks, you're listening to a piecemeal iTunes chew
up and spit out transcode with default crossfading.

If you dont think that will make or break your experience, I
can only point out how much the 256kbps soundboard recording
of the 2005 Glasgow set offered compared to its 128kbps
predecessor, which we had to live with for an entire year
prior.

So much more will open up with the proper wav files.

Ha ha, awesome. I think I'm going to try and resist
listening to this, although what bit rate was the leak
recorded at? Have pre-ordered already, hope they push the
digital release date forward like they did with Quaristice
-- with Ae it's gots to be FLAC!

there would be no autechre or art in general in Plato's

the obsession with rationality and logic can be just a
dangerous a passion when used to just support your own
agenda. pacifism is the way until you die. ?

I believe I said something to this effect when Draft,
Untilted and Quaristice came out but here goes:

It's benefited my enjoyment of ae to not compare their last
few albums with their previous work. Confield and Gantz Graf
were as deep and alien as they could go, the peak of their
career, the peak of all this “IDM.”

Everything released since then (including Draft imo) has
been more jam-driven. They're having fun now. They're just
making cool tunes and sharing them with us. The
“statement” the albums seem to be making is less
profound, and I don't know that there's any really new
territory to cover--- but I'm just glad that they're letting
us hear their new jams.

I turned it off three quarters of the way though the first
time, although I had enjoyed the first half.

Some of this reminds me of the Chimes package I had for
Windows 95 by Syntrillium. So I can understand the fears
regarding some of the melodies. The melodies that you didn't
notice, perhaps because they are suburb (you have a tendency
to only notice the bad at first), are the ones you need to
focus on.

For me, the first half of this is enough for me to warrant
buying the album alone. I am very pleased I pre-ordered the
ultra-high quality digital release. I can't wait to listen
to that on my system.

Someone said that the fake was better? You must be deaf. The
fake was deeply, deeply, SHITE! The absolute worst...

This album is great. I love it. I can't wait to get the
legit one.

Anyone who hasn't listened to the leak yet, wait, you will
not be disappointed in the long run although perhaps the
first listen will shock you. This is total sweetness, you
need to hear it in the best quality at the right time
though.

That was a rhetorical question. I really don't care.

I love this and I do believe that it's real and I can't see
how anyone with an interest in Autechre could dismiss it as
a bad album. It's celestial and almost spiritual without
being some kind of cheesy new age thing that I think someone
suggested earlier. Just the fact that I KNOW this is real,
after several fakes that I instantly KNEW was fakes, says a
lot about the qualities of the arts and crafts that make up
the phenomenon we all know as Autechre.

And another thing: This album makes me think of one
particular track that has gone strangely unmentioned through
this thread: VLetrmx. I have felt the same kind of goose
bumps, over and over agin, listening to this leak as I used
to - and still do - get when I hear the mighty, religious
VLetrmx. I wish I could feed all the digital data from the
oversteps album into a massive, modern church organ and play
it back in some mighty chatedral. What's his name again?
Johan Sebastian Booth? No, sorry... Johan Sebastian
Brown...

Seriously, I LOVE THIS ALBUM :)
