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.

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

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
