Their best album so far, in my opinion. They've managed to incorporate all their skills - successfully - in a stunning volume of genuinely interesting music. I must admit I really did not believe that they still could have a record like this in them. Yep, Exai IS the TRUE Autechre MASTERPIECE! XI |

It's ridiculously, implausibly good. "Strong release" is an understatement. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I still havent listened to the whole album. As i want to appreciate it to the max, but I strongly think you might be right Co-existense!.... |

it's over-rated. |

hey guys let's argue with colani about autechre boy will that be fun |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
Dont get me wrong i like your cock, but the pirated version of the new autechre isnt as satisfying as a real female cunt. |
||||||||
|

First impressions: very favorable. Not sure if it will unseat Confield as my favorite Autechre album, but I've only listened to Exai twice through so far. |
||||||||

deco loc is good on the first listenning. |

how do you people have enough time in the day to have listened to this album so many times already? i was only able to get half-way thru this morning, although thoroughly enjoyed all of what i heard. |

i'm stuck at jatavee C which has beautiful spectrum graph patterns (checking them waves in my foobar0 and so far it indeed sounds like a very approachable album. it took me yonks to appreciate Oversteps which I hated innitially, in comparison. and now track 5 makes me click preorder. bless you Ae you're like good wine |

turned the lights out as recommended by autechre, decided to use headphones to hear it loud, as my wife was sleeping. I drank almost a litre of jamaican rum last night, this was not a good mix with autechre so it was a flop. i had to bail out half way through irlite as i started feeling rather unwell... megatrax was right! so i haven't really had time to listen yet, but i've skipped through a few tracks to preview them, all of them sound full on! |

I was lucky enough to have a few days off from work and the missus away with most of our kids at the same time so I'm just plain lucky this time I guess... busy being a robot and shit |

"Exai" - noun - f - the sudden disappearance of useless cravings for new BOC releases. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Still not my cup of tea, although some tracks contain more melodic elements then past material. |
||||||||
|

review in short: yes, this is definitely an autechre album. some good tracks, some bad ones. i don't know the names yet, so i'll hold off on saying which i like for now. it's better than their last two albums, but doesn't unseat my previous favorites of tri repeatae and draft. co-existence has it nailed: when else do you sit down and dedicate two hours to ~really~ listening to something? that you're giddy about receiving, to the point where you download obviously fake leaks just 'cos of that little bit of hope they're real? when you finally get this coveted album, might the special treatment you've been giving it make it impossible for you to judge it objectively? something to consider.... |

jatevee c is a nice track. that kickdrum feels warm in my ears. |
||||||||
|

bladelores reminds me of jamming on a monobasssynth with a heavy fucking reverb choir going on in the background and some acid head drummer freaking out on his new appreciation of electronic hi-hats |

imo, this isn't "listening to in headphones in a dark room" kind of music. This is really good background music for a heavy session of programming or in dept statistical analysis. I was playing this while doing exactly that earlier today and it sounded like the best thing Autechre had ever made. Later on I tried listening to it with more attention and it didn't sound as good. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's good they've moved on to making music for statistical analysis, bald germans in anoraks can't support them forever |

I tried looking for a like button on your post only to remember that we are stuck at v2. |

i sent an email offering my help in fixing things, but no reply as of yet. if that ever comes to pass, though, i will be sure to play exai in the background. which track do you think is best for replacing the bits where it uses deprecated PHP functions ??? |
||||||||

Think you might find the same track on loop for a long time there. |

Decent album. |

should have given this a better review. still got 90 megs to go until it's paid for itself in what.cd data credit. c'mon guys, download it |
||||||||

definitely their strongest showing since draft era. i'm very pleased. |
||||||||
|

|||||||||

I dont think I can be classified as an IDMer anymore because I just listened to this album and it sounded like a complete fucking cacophonous mess to me. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
With all their previous releases they reeducated our palette, and now as a reward they have delivered this feast that seems to encompass everything that came before but in myriad, varying, delightful ways. THIS IS AUTECHRE. |
||||||||

I agree about this being an album to not dedicate your attention. Instead it works best while doing some other kind of work and you just subtly slip into this weird world... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
Is it better than Confield? I really liked Confield but everything after that Album not so much. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Nothings ever going to be as good confield, but this is prolly my fave of theirs since draft. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It's as good as Confield and then better than all the other albums that came after that..so in sum it IS better than Confield. |
||||||||
|

|
|
You are more clever than me. I didn't manage to do that deduction. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Listening to it now: first three tracks sucked a bit but 4 & 5 are nice, and I'm considering listening again the first three and change my opinion. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ok, my conclusion about this album: Exai is basically ep7.3 through ep7.6 and thus a direct continuation of their GREATEST WORK EVER! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Gave it a quick skim through - not as good as oversteps yet... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
outstanding artistry, skill and workmanship |

good seeing you guys again. see you in a few years then. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I can't really map my mind around the whole release yet, it'll take a few listens but so far its looking very promising. In the meantime I can see this album seriously corrupting my mind on ketamine, good thing I don't dabble {anymore}... |

I think I want to hear this on speakers, I haven't had a hifi for ten years. It's a nice big thick dense album, I want to blast it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I forgot to say I love nodezsh, it's like aliens invading earth at the beginning with explosions and the sad music, then as the track evolves the explosions stop and th music morphs in to the alien voices, greta stuff! I love how you can hear what soundd like Oasis at the end of the fantastic Bladlores as well, the recks on beat etc wow so many great bits. Thanks Autechre. Hope to see you live again! |

the last track YJY UX is seriously good. |
||||||||
|
|

The perfect combination of their last few years of vicious, complex ventures combined with elements of their early melodic years. Well constructed as an album too. It seems I may be able to add this to only small group of albums i can listen to all the way through. |
