I wasn't that crazy about Autechre's previous release "Quaristice". Being a big fan, i was wondering which direction they would take next, as they are so unpredictable. I think "Oversteps" might be their masterpiece up to now. Absolutely brilliant album,... I cannot stop listening too it. Every song is fabulous! I have a couple of favorite, but im still discovering and cherishing its newness. |

i too think it might be my fav of theirs, and maybe this will also be the general consensus. Listening to their past efforts right now, makes them appear a bit overly pointy and edgy, very forcedly complex and stubborn, blah, |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
blah. |
||||||||
|
|

yea thats how ive always felt about ae. something about this one works well, but theres a lot of ugly bits i cant stand listening to. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i thought id give quari another try and i hate it. just reminding everyone i hate it |
||||||||

|
quaristice is great, in 10 years you guys will appreciate it ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

Quaristice is really good yeah, but it's not for every day & moods. Im not as crazy about it as i am about Oversteps. |
||||||||

i just slept through oversteps, or at least really relaxed, and it was perfect. with ae i guess i had some expectations that they would do percussive progressive pieces and this clouded my judgment of oversteps... some of the pieces develop extremely lovely, like os veix 3 with the weird string like melody later on. its a new way of listening to ae i guess. wonderful. |

I was pretty unsure of the authenticity of this release, but now i have the real promo cd from warp, and it's the same as everyone is listening to. Just slighly different track lengths than what i've seen on the rips on soulseek. I'm a bit confused about it, not exactly dissapointed but i have to listen to it more. Autechre's albums always break new grounds for me and this time i'm wondering, what's the novelty here? What's the challenge for me, and what was the challenge for them? Why is this the release after Quarastice and not the one before? I know a lot of people on this board wont agree on this, and say 'who cares, it's nice music' and i totally see that too, but still i can't help feeling a bit empty when listening to it. I'm very curious on what i will think about it in 3 months.. |

xactly, give it time bro. do you mind posting the original track lengths, lol? |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
@Gonzola - how's the quality compared to the soulseek rips? We're thinking slsk version are not only shorter, but transcoded and clipping. Can you confirm? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oooh, what is this record doing to us? we're doomed! GAAAAAAAAAAH |
||||||||
|

Ok, here are the track lengths from the promo cd which are slightly different from the rips i've seen: R Ess 5:12 Ilanders 5:32 Known(1) 4:42 Pt2ph8 4:09 Qplay 4:38 See On See 4:37 Treale 6:05 Os Veix3 4:37 0=0 4:52 D-Sho Qub 6:26 St Epreo 4:08 Redfall 3:48 krYlon 6:08 Yuop 6:21 I haven't listened to the whole cd yet but i don't expect any new tracks to pop out:) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
cool. these make perfect sense with the crossfades between the leaky tracks, and then there's 30 seconds missing from both r ess and yuop. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'll check if there's any difference in sound quality when i get home from work. My boss doesn't like autechre |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
havent listened to this yet, but if its not cutting edge anymore, then what hope do we have? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that "no cutting edge autechre" can still be gewd. i prefer the term "less cutting edge autechre", btw. they're still years ahead of the pack. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
So is there a difference? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Listened through about half of the tracks and compared it to the rip and there's not much difference to talk about except the obvious ones. Like that the final track has a slightly longer ending and Ilanders plays once. No dramatic change in sound quality that i noticed. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
cool. |
||||||||
|

they're still one of the heavy weights when it comes to electronic music, i've been buying their music since 1998, since then i've never been disapointed with any release. This is the first time i feel slightly less interested, i have to be honest . I like some parts of the album, but it's either not banging enough or not ambient enough, know what i mean? But It's obvious they'l still be writing more hard stuff in the future, i'm waiting to hear a really cool d&b glitch album from them like the untilted tour, if they wanted to make a change and produce something different, they could of treated us with a mastered version of a live untilted/quaristice jam, or something similar if they ever read this, i just want to say i am still one of your loyal listeners, i just need something heavier to treat my madness. larn |

Is there a more complete rip anywhere? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I hope this isn't the proper one, cos it's shit, but I think it probably is the original cos it's shit. Autechre don't got it goin' on no more. |
