Went into the city today and listened to a few discs:
Plaid - Rest Proof Clockwork Cylobotnia Incunubula and EP7
Finally decided to get EP7 because it was suprisingly cheap for a full length (i know it's supposed to be an EP, but it really isn't imo), and with my luck next time I would specifically travel out to get it, it wouldn't be there....
Anyway, I only own a few ae: Tri Repetae (single disc version unfortunately) Chiastic Slide and Peel Sessions 2.
I've been listening to it today, and am listening right now. I consider myself lucky to get the UK release with the hidden track and frosted case but did I waste my money?
Hmm, I'm not really sure. I'll give it a chance, but I'm not familiar with the newer ae and it all sounds so....random.
I don't know. What are your thoughts on EP7?

best song: #9- Zeiss Contarex... there's this sinister dark melody that kicks in at around 4:20, it's awsome.
The key to ep7 and all of autechre's work is attention to detial... see the sounds in your head and watch them backtrack and jitter and all the neat little tricks AE do with their sound... listen to the detials.
It's a great cd but the hidden track kinda sux imo :-/

Whoa! Creepy avatar, wolf!
Yeah, it's weird...my discman can play the hidden track, but my hi-fi in my room won't, and neither will the one in our lounge room!
Hmm....haven't heard the track even...

it's just poopy high pitch tones and lot's of silence... it gets better toward the end but it's nothing special

Actually, on each listen it is getting clearer and clearer, more organised sounding...
This may grow on me after all!
:)
Outpt and Dropp are both top class.

try to listen to it on good headphones- only then you will be able to see/hear details - and they are really core of this album

EP7 is really tame compared to Confield/Draft. Just a warning

I'll bet it is, haha!
I actually went against my follow-autechre-chronologically policy by buying ep7, but it was because I can't find LP5 anywhere over here....
I'll get it soon, and then make my way up to confield and draft.

Confield is pretty easy... after my first listen I threw it down on the ground, stomped on it a few times and said "TOO EASY!!!!"
Seriously I did... see, I'm hardcore!

If you don't get into EP7 don't let it put you off getting other AE releases. Ashamed to say it but I only got EP7 for completion's sake and its probably my favourite CD cover and it was cheap- all v. poor reasons for buying a piece of music but I'm learning to forgive myself one day at a time.

thanks for the advice, btw...i can't wait to get LP5 soon....
