GANTZ GRAF 3 MONTHS LATER

ok, it's been 3 months since gantz graf was released. as i
recall on this mb, maybe 75% of the members disliked the
hell out of this ep. as with any autechre release, it takes
a few months of getting used to.

so how do you rate/review this ep at the moment?

gantz graf - 8.2
dial - 8.9
cap.iv - 9.2

now you do it!

even after 3 months, i've listened through about twice.. it
just didn't catch my interest. the video sure did though.

weird because i got tired of the video pretty fast, but the
ep keeps on growing. listened to it at least 12 times this
week alone.

Cap.iv -- 5

i like it about the same as when i first got it, on the day
it was released.

gantz graf - not as good as bine, but almost, it gets a 8.5
dial - this song kicks ass, i love the beat when it gels
later in the song. it gets a 9.9
cap.iv - it gets a 8

if i remember, dial was the worse rated track this summer.
and cap.iv was the best rated.

Bine was cooler imo cause it was like super oranic. the
sounds had flesh and seemed alive. Gantz Graf seems like
machines taking on personalities and moving for the first
time.

DIAL RULES!!! The beat that goes totally nuts...i absolutely
love it! and the sweet tune that goes on...really cool.

I know i thought dial was the worst track on there at first
and now its my fav. in fact im going to go bring it here and
listen to it again.

bine is definately more alive sounding. anyone hear another
song in that melody part of gantz towards the end? you can
sing the lyrics of this song with the melody perfectly.

hell yea! i've got to upgrade my score of dial to a solid 10
:DD it does kick that much ass.

gantz *****
dial *****

cap.iv has been my biggest influence for a while now, gantz
is just plain psycho, love it, as for dial well, how rude is
it?

Other music sounds a bit weird after you've been on a
hardcore Confield/GG session, don't ya reckon...

is it only 3 months?...feels a lot longer as the MP3s were
knocking around well early...doubt it affected sales tho,
you gotta own the real deal when it comes to AE...

gantz graf > 6.66
dial > 7.30
cap.iv > 9.65

overall > 7.33

i actually like it less than i used to like it on the first
listens. or maybe it is because i listened to confield. ' _

6.66 ?
9.65?
where do you go find that?
is ur brain an ultra sensible piece of extra terrestrial
sponge reacting to every suggestion with the precision of a
leaf nerves?

6 was too few
7 was too high
i felt 6.5 was still too few
and 6.66 is a cool number
and so on... :)

gants graf- 8.72346532343
dial- 7.1243692817
cap.iv- 9.8792530981

I listen to cap.iv last weekend while I was stoned, I
remember starring at the speaker for the whole duration of
the track, then it just stopped, and I fell off my chair.
It also sounds a lot different when stoned...I mean really
really different.

Gantz Graf-4
Dial-5
Cap IV-6

So the EP gets progressively better... but never stops being
below average and weak.

the video was fun, but i already watched it four or five
times (downloaded, did not pay). gantz graf is so incedible
the video does not do justice to it. no video could, the
visuals just distract me from the music now.

gantz graf - 10
dial - 4
cap iv - 6

well, the ten is correct, the other numbers i take back.
these rating systems don't really work. gantz graf is one
of my favorite ae tracks, and the other two are alright.

you should see the dvd-version of the video. the d/l version
isn't half as smooth in movements as the original - then
there is perfect harmony between rotations/flexes and the
music.

the version i had seemed perfectly harmonious with the music
but i would like to see it on dvd. i'm not going to buy
though. i just prefer the spontaneous visuals in my mind's
eye to the vid.
