In my opinion, it sucks at lot more than Oversteps, which was nice, but not as much as Untilted and Quaristice, which were plain crap.
Draft is better, no speak about Confield, EP7 and that...

Is it just me or have the last few albums been a lot like when you walk into a friends studio and they are just pissing around with a new synth or effect.

I'm so glad you all share your opinion on this album I don't give a fuck about the album any more.. it doesn't matter anyway: it's there: exai.

I think it is a bit more accomplished than Oversteps or Move of Ten and more consistent than Quaristice+. Stylewise I think they've pretty much just 'been autechre' since somewhere around Chiastic Slide.

it's great, can't wait for the EP. Please let ther be a double EP.
I'm loving the denseness and the sections of each track, like there was on Untlilted.
How could people not like Bladelores, irlite or recks on?
I want MOAR!

Do you make music? I find your comment insulting. Just because you can't find the patterns you want and your brain doesn't even want to try, no need to make stupid assumptions. It's this whole 'random debacle' all over again.
Was your comment correct, i think they would be releasing an album every 3 months. It's clear (to me at least) that a lot of work and effort goes into their music.
Don't be a prick because you don't like it. I'd like to know how many times you've given the album a go.

I love it when the recks on beat kicks in, it's like "YeeeeAAAAHHHH!"
The only tracks I don't like are Fleure and the last one, I don't feel anything from them.
Irlite is probably the best track, each "section" is fantastic.
Exai is right up there with their best work.

Pitchfork misses the point and gives Exai a 5.9. Not surprising but still a shame...

I love how that 'journalist' seems to be telling us where Ae went wrong and can't do this and that. Who are you, Grayson Currin?
Typical pitchfork shit like: ""Irlite (get 0)" makes a synthesizer sound like a church organ overrun by the ghosts in the graveyard, while "T ess xi" employs fluorescent soul keyboards as its basic building block.." is kind of funny.

Listened to it again this week and it still sounds like shit.
I think as Ive gotten older, my appreciation for melody has grown and naturally the appeal of Autechre has completely vanished for me.

A good review, I do broadly agree with what their view of Exai feeling like a good summation of, what I think is particularly impressive, all of Ae's history.
I also like the notion of their post-2008 output (whether this is strictly true or not) being a sprawling collection of computer files rather than albums ( I think this stands for Quaristice, which, in the light of Oversteps + Exai seems like some kind of blueprint) ... I don't know, you can read too much into all this but Exai does feel like a realisation of all that came before in Ae World.

I feel ya. I love beepy crunchy mad beats and all that, but if it's to be more than just background music for me, it needs to have an actual melody too. Autechre CAN pull it off beautifully, they just seem to choose not to, a lot of the time.

Especially because in the mix, the track was cut before the last moments of the track, which are the best part. Just to make people buy the album to hear SPL9 in full.
