same here right now. it's doing my head in! when it ends,
youve got to take 30 seconds to appreciate the silence
afterwards...

I think we shouldn't be so quick to judge a new Ae cd right
now. Think about it. It's not even out yet and people are
already dling it and critiquing it. That's just not fair.
And how do you know it's always going to be bad. Some
people on here said Confield was horrible...now they're like
it's the greatest. Let's just leave whatever cd this turns
out to be called and come back after it's release. By then
opinions might have changed.

agreed. the 1rst impression you get will almost certainly
change as the time goes by. autechre albums always get an
immediate strong reaction.

ok, now its time to lock me up in the nearest mental
hospital ;)

nah seriously AE have made much better music than this. Im
strarting to like Confield more and more....Dial is weak and
Gantz Graf is just noise to me (I love when Noise is
beatiful tho, like "My Fucking Sound" and a lot of tracks on
"Go Plastic") but this is just wack.

CAP IV is nice, nice, nice and its worth to cop this EP just
for this track alone :)

Yeah, definately...I find that a lot with AE especially...

The first few listens are a bit odd but suddenly, you find
yourself getting really deep into it....Confield was
similar..like you have to have time to adjust to the new
sounds/structures...

amonbrune: cheers, nice to be here too, but it seeems to
take a lot more of my time up than being on the
autechre.nu single thread message board!!! this is too
neurotic for me!

grinningcat!!:didn't realise there was one before sakura!
shit, could you find out what it is called?

I WANT MY CONFIELD BACK NOW! i am too nice in lending my cds
out...have a squarepusher theme to my life at the moment,
but back with a bit of A&E since this weekend, TRI REP!!!

laters

what i don't understand is that the review at absorb.org
said gantz graf had singing in it in some way. i don't hear
that at all?

Theres some voices in cap.iv ... can't hear anything in
GG...

Getting some very odd looks in the office today playing this
new AE...

hmmmmm some part of me still doubts if this is really
autechre... i wonder what the video that comes with gantz
graf is gonna be like, must be pretty insane cause the track
is the oddest thing ae have ever done.

but then dial and cap.iv sound genuine.....

the ep is far from dissapointing. i meen i can't stop
listening to cap.iv over and over. At least it's not as
uncomfortable as confeild. dial is really quite funky if u
listen to it properly. Listened to it on md whilst walking
round town, nice
:)

They're definately not faking the funk on dial, I can't wait
to hear it loud.

I thought exactly the same, mate...when I heard GG for the
first time...those 2 other tracks are soooo much better than
GG...GG almost sounds like a parody of an AE track (like
some of them fake drukqs tracks that were doing the
rounds..)...

perhaps the video will make it make more sense...

heres the absorb review for those who haven't read it...

"tight three track ep from those ever-lovable mancunians.
actually on initial listens, it does sound like either
they've let their hair down a bit, or they're simply taking
the piss. what's this i hear, melodies? recognisable
rhythms? singing? they're all there in some form, it's just
that the dense layers of noise, ear-shredding frequencies
and digital mayhem all do their best to drown everything
else out.
'gantz graf' gives you breathing space of precisely four
seconds before an almighty belch is emitted and they then
attempt to condense the whole 'confield' album into four
minutes. of course it sounds ace. 'dial' is the most normal
sounding track we've heard from them in a while. minimal
jungle rhythms ride over alternating bursts of playful
arpeggio's. the best is saved for last with the epic
'cap.iv'. orchestral chord structures form the backing while
an ever-increasingly complex rhythm builds over ten minutes,
climaxing in an almighty intense crescendo. "...

After reading that it does sound like they are describing
the same thing...

"they then attempt to condense the whole 'confield' album
into four minutes" desribes GG very well...

indeed.... ae should avoid becoming a parody of themselves,
gg (the track, not the ep) isn't really related to music
anymore

Note: EP8 already exists...this would probably be EP9 since
Confield didn't have a single.

i got tracks from the new ep also...

they seem ligit...but the stuff sucks! the first two tracks
bite...and cap.iv is the only decent one...

gantz graf sucks ass! distorted granular
synth....ooooooohhhhhhhh.

i wonder if ae actually intended on selling this release or
just putting something out for ppl to share via the net...

i hate it when people disrespect records after only a couple
of listens. it's insane to judge this fast, isnt it?
