netlon sentinel

If I heard these two words in isolation (esp. no awareness
of the song), I would think it referred to an entity
selected by an interstellar community to initially
warn/greet species who become sufficiently extensive (as in,
territory colonized), technologically advanced, etc. It
would be very intimidating, very functional, and rather
compact.

Knowing the song well, I'd say it is the soundtrack (with
sound effects too!) of a captain of an exploratory vessel,
making something crappy with his blender, slowing down
through a rather crowded hyperspace and running into

the fucking netlon sentinel

the track ends right before communication starts, and the
scene is focused on the interior of the space faring ship.

Everytime I hear that track I immediately think

autechre

and it reminds me of a sad robot who starts crying :(

Lentic catachresis

words:
a storm snuffing out the cloud that generated it (pretty
stupid, don't worry I think so too)

sound:
a developing rift, tearing everything asunder

oh damn.

I thought the last line spoke of a "space farting ship".

alas, no.

It brings tears to my eyes to see a classic avatar of yours
back. When do we see hannibal smith again?

arch carrier sounds like communication between satellites.
Nice discrete blips of compressed data.

the title makes me think of ants

your haughty sarcasm has been noted. expect the humor
police at your door any minute. judgement will be swift,
the violence, however, will be slow.

I still havn't matched any of autechre's track names with
the actual tracks in my memory. I think track 3 on lp5 is
one of their best. Instructing the machines to slow the
track down like that yet retain the ability to control it
digitally afterward must be a particularly difficult thing
to do. Perhaps they completed the whole track, then slowed
the middle down last, but it definately seems an essential
mutation in the track rather than an afterthought. 777 is so
wickedly eccentric and otherworldy too (well I guess that
describes every track actually). The fact that it's based on
time units of 7, the melody that follows some strange
elusive logic, the massive intricate panning..

I don't listen to lp5 much; I guess I should. I've listened
to 777 only once or twice, and I'm ashamed to admit I didn't
noticed the 7 (I obviously don't pay attention to the names
as much as I pretend either).

lp5 always sounds kinda bland to me, but that might be
because I listened to autechre a ton this semester, then got
a little sick of them, and lp5 came when the irritation
period was starting. I'll swing back around and listen to
them again in a month probably.

enjoying crunch 1 very much--thank you
