I've had occasion to listen to this album properly 4 times now. my initial impressions track by track: 01. r ess- Possibly my favorite tune all around. Love the build up, and tension/release type explosions of sound once the beat starts. Really down the with assortment of sounds used to make the beat here. Great intro, way better than altibzz. 02. ilanders- Really Good. Think I hear some sounds from pro radii/steels in here. All elements; percussion, sawy bass, foreground blippy melody and smooth ambience really all flow together as one. Reminds me a bit of IV VV IV VV VIII from Draft, but with more going on. (I would point out that the leak seems to play this track twice in a row.) 03. known(1)- Beautiful melody to start.. mutant alien harpsichord or something. Great harmony as it builds a little bit. Then a high pitched dying computer alien comes on and starts to sing. whoa. I love the broken sound, like strange graffiti over the other elements of the track. 04. pt2ph8- I love this one too. There's something in the melody, especially at the start, that reminds me of the music in Monkey Island 2, which is some of my favorite shit ever. This is the best of the beat-less tracks. Ending is "lush," as some of the Brits like to say. 05. qplay- Melody in the beginning reminds me of the theme song to Star Trek: Next Generation, a little. This track might take me awhile to "get." The individual parts are good but the whole of it hasn't quite clicked with me yet. Bass might just be a tad bit "noisy" for my taste too. I think I will warm up to it though. 06. see on see- Underwater harpsichord played through a prism. It loses it's structure a bit in the middle, but it heals nicely by the end. Good stuff. 07. Treale- Yes. Even on their special underwater alien baroque album, ae still return to their dark mistress: the hip hop beat. I especially like the base-melody that syncs with the drums here. That snare that comes in eventually is awesome. I don't know how they do it, but ae consistentl |

I don't know how they do it, but ae consistently comes up with the dopest sounding snare drums, period. It's one of the main reasons they sound so fuckin' sick. Contender for my favorite tune on the album, so far. 08. os veix3- Cool track. Actually reminds me of a lot of Proem last few albums. I like the little bursts of hiss, like a water faucet being turned on and off. Melody is nice, a little more subdued in this track than in others. 09. O=0- This one reminds me a little of Amber in the melody. I enjoy it but it will need more time to absorb I think. 10. d-sho qub- Another hip hop jam. Melody almost sounds like some weird Hawaiian jingle. Autechre jammin' with Jamarr on the beach, with monkeys dancing- everyone's gettin live right here. Beat is slammin'. I love the strange delay going on under the drums. Epic space chant towards the end. The camera takes us from the beach, slowly into the sky, past the atmosphere into space, and out of the solar system. Yeah girl. 11. st epreo- This is the most quaristicey track on the album by far. I need more time with this one. Good sounds though. 12. redfall- The metallic melody on top of everything doesn't really hit the right spots for me, but the ambience and everything going on in the background is killer. I expect I will warm up to this one. 13. krYlon- This is my least favorite on the album, and I don't really think that will. It meanders too much. There are a few autechre tracks that do this (Bine immediately comes to mind), and I just never really get into them. The sounds are good, the structure just doesn't appeal to me. 14. Yuop- Good tune to end on. Sounds a little like Amber + Quaristice melded together, until it starts to disintegrate into broken data. Nice. |

although mind you this isnt even close to confield, draft, chiastic, ep7..... etc |

yes sir. should be a working link the big thread. |

i'm quite sorry to say that as a diehard autechre fan - but i don't like it (of course assuming that the whole leak is original). i have to admit that it is a fine piece of art but it just simply doesn't suit me. it has too much atonality, weird scaling and random notes for me personally. that's actually exactly the thing why i still hate (or rather just don't listen to) confield. ilanders for example has this high pitch sqeal in the back which destroys the whole track for me. and there is something like this in every track. i listened to it twice and somehow i can't point out some moment that i really like. |

"it has too much atonality, weird scaling and random notes for me personally." I totally get that. That used to be a problem with me and lp5, actually. I don't know what's changed, but somehow it clicked for me and now it just works. |

the only track on this i'm really loving is Treale. whoever made it, it's good |

wow, wow. i'm baffled, how do you guys not love it? hopefully it will grow on you, and not wear off on me. *_* |

refuse to believe this is it. |

This is the first time I haven't liked an autechre release. |

hahahahahahaa |

lp5 was tiesto compared to oversteps. it was actually my first encounter with autechre and i loved ot from the very beginning. i tend to not like albums that use off-scales or other "weird" or even algorhythmic note progression on the melodies. the problem is that i find these very cold, unnatural and totally unhuman because there isn't any mood or feeling incorporated but just pure math. and i guess the whole point is to make it "sound right". there is also this thing that imho the boys from autechre aren't really that "musical" in the sense when you would compare them to jazz-artists for example. in fact the parts that i think they recorded "by hand" with a keyboard or manually typing in notes tend to sound very childish and awful. like the bassline in pro radii after the "break". it sounds a bit forced to me. somehow back in the days they were ok with 4 bar - melodies and everyone was happy and fine. |

Here's where my confusion starts. Let's say you were an established artist (and you were autechre). You created some of the greatest album in your career, up to lets say.. Untilted. Would you released this after that? Would you release this crap after making masterpieces like draft, confield, lp5, ep7, chiastic slide, etc. Would you? Seriously. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Are you by any chance talking about ? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Some of the best melodies i've ever heard are by ae. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
No. I'm talking about the 1 track promo with the whole album. The first fake leak by altered was actually better than this. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I haven't listened to the whole thing, just one track or something, but to me it sounded miles better than the fake leak. Your reaction was pretty much what I thought after listening to parts of the fake leak (which after Quaristice seemed plausible to me). |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I would also like some confirmation on this. What makes this new leak legit? Is it the fanboy ears of ae? Or was the leak actually from a good source. All I read last night was omg omg it's here *click*. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what I wanted to say is that I'm relieved that maybe autechre aren't yet making music for old men |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
but they are not from ovesteps or confield i assume ? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
cos hanal said 'needs more cowbell' beforehand |
||||||||
|
|

|

Your reaction was pretty much what I thought after listening to parts of the fake leak (which after Quaristice seemed plausible to me). heh, maybe they were upset lot of us weren't content with quari so they made some crap to make us appreciate it more.. cause I'm liking quaristice more each second now. I want to hear it again. I'm actually motivated to listen to it. |

Hi Gwely. A bit before the leak turned up, see on see and ilanders were premiered on a german radio station. So those two are legit for sure. The rest could be fake but my fanboy ears tell me otherwise ;p sorry some of you guys don't like it :( Immediately I find it more interesting than Quaristice (all versions). I can't get enough Treale right now. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'd appreciate a segmented version then so I know what tracks everyone is blowing wads over. I read that you and cx did something along those lines. I'm stuck playing this file in vlc. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|

Oh and hi Wolfy! |

I'd totally up it for you right now, but unfortunately my ISP has a pretty rough upload bandwidth limit, and I've lost my FTP at the moment. I'll post the track times though, as best as I can figure them ress 4:42 ilanders 5:25 ilanders 5:25 (they play it twice) known(1) 4:38 pt2ph8 4:05 qplay 4:34 see on see 4:33 Treale 5:59 os veix3 4:36 0=o 4:46 d-sho qub 6:23 st epero 4:02 redfall 3:18 krylon 6:32 yuop 5:51 |

I'm finding plenty of melody on Oversteps. At least both the tracks played last night. |
||||||||
|
|

I love it.... and if you dont right now, you will. So, are we convinced they play ilanders twice on this? It does seem super long, but I love how it comes in the second time. |
