i think if they can put out a track/video as hip as
orbital's "wanky" they'll be right back in the game. they
also might want to loosen their regulations on dubstep
immigration.

this is a bit off topic, bit....

does gerald donald have parkinsons?

the fact that you even mentioned dubstep disqualifies
everything you said.

but good call with the video, the Gantz Graf vid was and
still is excellent...

personally I would love to see what they would come up with
when they expanded into media beyond the CD/LP format... i
mean what they are really good with is messing with machine
aesthetics..

not saying they should make a tablet app, but there's so
much technology available to be messed with..

dunno on the other hands maybe making whimiscal techno tunes
is the only thing Sean and Rob are good at.

The EP is good, after a few listenings. Good background
music, at least.

like i said, i find l-event the most fulfilling after
listening to exai...if you've got that much time to burn and
are doing various things in front of a computer, listening
to all 2 hrs of exai plus keyosc, then l-event sorta is a
one-time thing that is really fulfilling for me. hopefully
it isnt a few years until we get more ae, but even if not
these songs are worthwhile to run altogether like that.

"the fact that you even mentioned dubstep disqualifies
everything you said."

the fact that you seem to believe i would invoke dubstep in
anything but an irreverent manner disqualifies you as a
judge of what is serious business on the internet

and @Terence Hill I meant I could sense some structure on
Exai, after all those multiple listens - while L-Event gets
me thinking those are just left-overs to cater moneyssss.

but hey Autechres, good news ! I'm going to finally to buy
that Exai vinyl monster in December - no time to waste !
that album is just awesome, can't wait to touch it, cheers.

I coudn't grasp Oversteps but I'd bought Move Of Ten - hey

i took a peek, and the thread is already like 40 pages. most
of it is just sean booth saying "your drum machine is named
steve" and "yes" or "no". give me a ring when someone
condenses the Q&A into something actually
readable/interesting, because i've only seed one or two
interesting nuggets after reading 6pages of fanboy
ejaculation.

"It's not very interesting music, though there are
interesting sounds." --Combo

yeah, something like that. only autechre albums that i've
really, really gotten into are tri repeatae and draft. bits
of confield also grabbed me. tri repeatae was beautiful like
an engineering schematic in motion; draft was beautiful like
a painting. parhelic triangle on confield made me very very
anxious. i am sure all this is just my reaction to a pair of
dudes on k and hash and amphetamines twiddling knobs, and
none of that shit ever really occurred to them.

in that spirit, i give whatever they put out a shot, but
i've not really been grabbed by much else. i listened to
exai twice: once with complete focus, somewhat not sober.
another time in the background, working on electronics,
somewhat sober. both times, i did not find it unpleasant....
but after it ended, save for the campy opera singer sample,
i couldn't really remember any of it. got about as much out
of it as i would a stick of chewing gum. oh well; i'll still
listen to the next one.

i remember there was this ghastly "microsound" movement, in
which people would labor over "compositions" <1sec. i
suppose it's an aging hippie reaction to the power of
computers: "we can, like, cram tens of thousands event into
a second, man! far out!"

however, to anyone not in the biz, it just sounds like one
second of strange noise; nothing in particular to hang your
hat on. i think you see what i'm getting at

It's sinking in. One thing it's done is make me enjoy Exai

I love the artwork.
I got the Exai CD not long ago and the cover art is so much
nicer looking than what you see on bleep.

Oh and now we know more or less what the artwork is all
about it's great fun finding letters.
