Autechre just released a new quadruple album. Over 4 hours of post-post african repetitions courtesy of everyone's favorite outsider techno duo.
Let's talk which tracks are our favorite and what part (out of 5) is the best one in this ITT thread.

>trying to tell fans to listen to autechre chronologically to understand their progression and leaving out AE_LIVE before elseq
what do you guys make of the title elseq? still iffy on it. fantastic album.
is it confirmed for one long album or 5 different albums?

Nobody fell for it last thread, what makes you think anyone would in this one?
Just said this in what I thought was the general, but what is with their covers lately. Designers republic is pairing Autechres lush attention to detail with absolute garbage

They hit the nail on the head with Exai and L-event though. elseq I can't say for sure yet
>>65010425
But that cover is actually good though, it matches the cold earthy heaviness of the record.
>>65010425
that's great though
I agree with that anon, the elseq covers are just eh
>>65010385
i absolutely love the style tbqh but i suppose that's just my ~aesthetic~
quaristice and tri repetae are my two favorite covers, but i also like the ones for ae_live.
how do they keep doing it?
>>65010530
they aren't human
>>65010530
they died a long time ago and now they're basically walking max/msp patches
>>65010530
they dont look like they should be able to do this
god bless them

>>65010553
idk I've always felt that even at their most abstract, ae has had a very human and deliberate feel to it sometimes.
>>65010565
>their faces when
>>65010385
It's an extension of cover for the Live albums (edited Live Sequences). It's supposed to be the covers from the live albums as viewed from a different angle (from the top)
Pretty thoughtful really
>>65010267
i'm treating it as one big LP, but you can buy each part individually so who really knows

I like Autechre threads. They're very comfy.
>>65010728
are you stoned? what makes you think that. they aren't columns. it's more likely they are cheap evolutions of the exai cover. but even if that's true, that doesn't make them good.
>>65010371
spaces how V is beautiful. in a way it kind of reminds me of nodezsh.
>>65010771
5 is still the only one I'm still really trying to "get." spaces how V and spTh are aces but the others haven't made quite an impression yet, especially oneum.
>>65010787
let's try to keep this one comfier than the last one.
>>65010799
>not seeing it in 3D
>>65010728
if that's true I actually completely forgive them
that would be pretty fucking cool
I'm sorta surprised by how melodic elseq 1-5 is sometimes. I mean, AE_LIVE had some shades of that but I didn't expect it to be to this extent. Some beautiful shit in there.
>>65010799
You only see them as columns because you assume that they're all the same length and height. in reality they're meant to be floating at different spots like >>65010861 said it's 3D when you view it from the side.
>>65010371
some ppl fell for it last thread i just want to be funny
>>65010371
how can you rate it already? overrated/underrated by who?
>>65010765
thanks m8
>>65010966
not him but i get the irony
>mfw spTh is spl9
>>65010724
>idk I've always felt that even at their most abstract, ae has had a very human and deliberate feel to it sometimes.
definitely. i think that's why you can feel that undercurrent of their past experiences with bboying/hip-hop in their tracks and albums even when they try to create music without any contexts or connotations. it's impossible to divorce those sort of past life experiences from your "biology" especially when creating music totally based on taste - it's all filtered through.
>>65011124
>you can feel that undercurrent of their past experiences with bboying/hip-hop in their tracks and albums
I can't. It doesn't resemble any of that at all.
>>65011173
really? guess it's up to perception then. i hear hip-hop/electro in just about everything they make, save confield.
>>65011173
do you even autechre
popped over to watmm real quick to see opinions and man are they buzzkills. like, you've been pestering r+s to release soundboards from their tours for like 83 years and they finally grant that wish, but now apparently the new album sounds too much like said soundboards? lol what did you expect? their live stuff often informs the recorded material.
anyway it's lush and i like talking about the album with you lot way more.
>>65011287
I think Jev is sean
>>65011287
tbf having listened to AE_Live si many times kinda killed my initial impression of some of it, but yeah, complaining about the fact that they're similar is just dumb
>>65011287
If they can't hear the difference between this and AE_LIVE thats their problem
>>65011225
>>65011264
I don't know why, but I just can't find anything resembling hip hop in a track like eastre or mesh cinereaL.
>>65011327
i caned ae_live to death too, but i only hear elements of it in maybe a 1/4 of the tracks tbqh
>>65011326
oh fuck lol
i am gonna listen to the whole thing while tripping on monday, assuming i don't get a headache or abducted by aliens or something.
fuck me acdwn2 is a banger
tell me the rest of 4 is as good as this
another aaa on watmm would be ace.
it's still one of my favourite things on the internet for maybe the last 3 or so years.
>>65011412
very jealous
how much you having?
>>65011463
whats that?
>>65011457
yeah 4 is great, it's very sublimit-esque.
>>65011412
sounds like a fun time. what you taking and how much?
>>65011503
ask autechre anything
>>65011463
god, i'm such a fucking autechre slut i've read that whole thing like 8 times now. would take another aaa over a press tour.

>>65011474
might just do 15-20 mg of 4-ho-met, it's never failed for music trips and i've always gotten the most musical and creative insight on it.
i haven't listened to AE_LIVE or elseq yet, which should i first (i'm familiar with everything else)
>>65011403
oh yeah, I didn't mean it was the exact same tracks on elseq as was on ae_live, I meant they share the same general sound, so it wasn't as immediately gripping as other albums of theirs I've heard without having heard live stuff first
>>65011619
elseq
>>65011619
listen to any one live set because they're all the fucking same, then move on to elseq and skip disk 2 cuz it's shit
>>65011619
Listen to at least their 2015 live sets. I think the 2014 live sets are kind of irrelevant with the 2015 ones existing, which have a bit nicer production and are much more sprawling and developed. Favorites are Dour, Nagano, and Grafenhainichen. Grafenhainichen is on YouTube also.
>>65011650
>all the live sets are the same
lolwut?
>disc 2 of elseq is shit
it's way better than the first one
>>65011682
i was just kidding about disk 2 but all the live sets are almost the same. same basic structure with minor differences. i've only listened to like 6 of them though
>>65011638
yeah, i get you mate. it's noodly and jammy but they've been doing that since the quaristice eps and even oversteps a bit (i love that album but it's WELL wanky)
it does have the same general vibe but i enjoy it. unpopular opinion but the really tightly coiled stuff like untilted is some of my least favorite ae material.
>>65011650
>>65011707
you're right in that they are just diff permutations but certain parts are expanded or loosened up or intensified and imo they all have different moods. krakow is aggressive as fuck while dublin is very experimental and introspective.
>>65010768
confield is, to me, their most synesthetic album ever. every track has a distinct visual, and the titles of every track actually fit into the colors I experience. I'm almost 100% convinced that I have the same colored experiences as rob and sean do. if they have synesthesia, that is
>>65011326
Yeah definitely not, dude. Jez is a right wanker.
>>65011827
What a sperglord
>>65011827
jev is human fedora tbqh
>>65011827
surely that guy is jesting with the list bit
...right?
Clearly it's very easy for them to pump this shit out in huge doses. This is 4 hours long, AE_LIVE is fucking 9 hours long, and apparently they sound about the same. Does that take away from it for you?
>>65010530
Do they only own one coat each?
>>65011920
they have similar sounds, as in the bleeps and the bloops, but they are different beasts entirely.
>>65011595
Sean writes like he posts on /bleep/, it's great.
>>65011920
nothing on the live sets sound like the first track on disc 2 of this new thing
this is like Ryoji Ikeda on steroids, I love it
>>65011920
AE_LIVE is from the same live set, just in different places. Elseq is a completely different deal. they only played 1 or two of these songs at AE_LIVE
>>65011920
Ae_Live is just a live show - it's the same thing as a band releasing audio from 9 diff shows so that didn't take any time for them.
and it's been 3 years since their last album, so they've prob been working hard. but anyway, the length of time and effort it takes to make music does not add or not away any enjoyment for me.
autechre, while great at times, are so overrated.
>>65011986
prove it
>>65011962
>>65011975
oh shit, i never realized that. in that case, which one's the best? no reason to keep all 9 around, and i was probably never going to listen to all of them anyways
>>65011986
they've only released one "bad" album and it was Chiastic Slide
I'm not sure how you could consider autechre to be overrated, honestly. they've released loads of material and practically all of it is a good example of how to approach experimental electronic music. all of the praise that they get, they deserve it. I can name a few warp artists that ARE overrated, but autechre is not one of them
>>65012055
>they've only released one "bad" album and it was Chiastic Slide
>>65012074
everybody knows it was EP7
god damn I love Autechre threads. Some normal people listen to them, not stupid memelords
>>65011581
>>65011463
The best part of the AAA is when that poster from Russia offers to book them for a show and pay for accommodations there right on the spot and Rob is just completely flummoxed.
>>65012087
careful with that bait there LMAO
it's so fucking long, jesus
but mostly good
7,5-8/10 so far
>>65012092
no, us memelords just come in here when we need to take a break
>>65011948
i think he even said lel at one point
>>65012087
EP7 was also a solid release though.
Their only weak releases are LP5 and Quaristice, but even then they're more than decent enough.
>>65012055
Chiastic Slide is my favorite, I certainly don't see how it's bad. Tewe, Cipater, Cichli, Nuane, Recury, and Pule are all top-tier Ae.
>>65012124
pic?
not surprised, just curious
>>65012074
I can't get into Chiastic Slide either
reminder
>>65012124
He uses a lot of internet slang, some of it very channish. Feels weird.
>>65012087
but EP7 is gr8
>>65012150
i'm not trawling through that thread yet another time, you'll just have to take my word
>>65012159
that scaruffi is full of shit ? how could i forget ?
>>65012128
What did you not like about LP5? Acroyear2, Rae and Arch Carrier are easily Autechre's best tracks ever
>>65012099
nooo the russian couple was the best part.
>>65012159
scaruffi is awful with most "electronic music" mate
>>65012177
alright, I'll probably just end up looking for it because I need to read that thread in full at some point anyway
>>65012159
Who gives a shit about that idiot?
https://factorysunburst.wordpress.com/2014/08/31/piero-scaruffi-and-truth/
they don't have a really ~weak~ release imo. even quaristice only has like 3 bad tracks
>>65012150
http://forum.watmm.com/topic/81109-aaa-ask-autechre-anything-sean-and-rob-on-watmm/page-2
it's on this page
>>65012192
acroyear2 is the only good lp5 track
>>65012159
Incunabula is actually the best Autechre album, i surprised scaruffi is right for once
fight me
>>65012230
how can you not like drane2 or under boac or corc?
>>65012235
Acceptable opinion. R+S might hate Incu and Amber but these are both really solid albums
>>65010612
They won't die, they'll just get reformatted.
>>65012255
they don't though, that was a misquote
incunabula is kinda eh tho imo
>>65012248
by having good opinions
>>65012255
they don't hate them.
>>65012235
i'd like incunabula more if bronchus, maetl, and autriche weren't on it. lowride and eggshell are :ok_hand: tho
>>65012280
but what is it about them that don't appeal to you? they aren't too different from anything else they've done.
>>65012230
They are almost all good. One of their most consistent albums. Perfect balance between structured beats and far-out glitchery.
Also GOAT album art, see>>65010408
and>>65010425
>>65012074
that's fine
I just... never got into chiastic slide. it was a really weird transition between tri repetae and lp5, I think. tri repetae had a really great atmosphere, with tracks like eutow, clipper, and rotar. then lp5 has some insaaaanely catchy tracks on it like corc, 777, and rae.
idk man, chiastic slide was forgettable. it's not bad in the sense that it's musically inept or not pleasing, but it's their weakest in their discog. I'd say that even incunabula was more interesting.
>>65012317
God I love LP5 so much. one of the very, very few albums that have ever made me cry.
>>65012199
yeah that was another highlight. i was living for robs replies i love him so much.
>>65012343
Which song made you cry? That one moment on Rae?
>>65012216
>muh Beatles
>>65012128
nah man, I think lp5 was seriously solid. I'll give you quaristice though, the ideas jumped around way too much. I think that quaristice is the only album in autechre's discog where the subsequent eps were more interesting. io (mons), fuckin class.
this might actually top Confield as their best
>>65012348
"otherwise we end up with more gescom"
hahahahahaha
>>65012306
>they aren't too different from anything else they've done.
exactly what makes them bad
>>65012317
>One of their most consistent albums
if by consistent you mean same-y and derivative, yeah
>>65012375
>That one moment on Rae?
that tempo change is definitely a cathartic release
>>65012394
>Confield as their best
I respect your opinion but I don't believe that they will ever top confield
>did you ever regret making a track? if so which one? would you change them if you could?
>i made some shit ones but i don't regret making them cos i learned how not to make shit tracks by doing them
how very pragmatic
>>65012325
chiastic slide isn't forgettable, it's just one of their most understated albums. it's almost reich-ish in it's subtly changing and evolving repetitions. unlike tri rep (which i also love) when a new sound or detail comes into the fold it's not announced loudly (like the piano on dael or the synths on eutow) but rather it sticks in the back in your mind until you realize you're somewhere completely different than where you started - but you can pinpoint where the change took place.
>>65012375
Rae and Drane2
okay it's finally done downloading
seeya later bubs, gonna go grab an opiate and do some deep listening
>>65012348
Their cover's blown lads, this is actually how all autechre albums get made.
>>65012426
the thing that can top Confield is the release of those uncut/extended Confield tracks
http://www.mediafire.com/download/w7oddl2tn1y6lpi/2008+-+Autechre.ws+Radio%2C+23rd+February+2008+-+Uviol+%28Extended+Version%29.mp3
>>65012403
I'd say that LP5 was a different approach for them at the time because they focused much more on chord changes and sort of eschewed emphasis on timbre.
>>65012457
rob and sean are actually robots controlled by infants btw
>>65012470
wait what
what is this? how did this get released?
>>65012449
that happens a lot in their discography, and with better results.
but maybe you're right. I'll toss it onto my phone and listen to it tonight before I fall asleep.
>>65012348
>otherwise we end up with more gescom
Sean better watch out there's a new bantz king in town
Oh shit I swear they played c16 deep tread in philly last year.

shit I didn't click on the link and didn't read through it either
I'm fugging retarded
I finished listening to the new album like an hour and a half ago and haven't been able to listen to any other music sense. Anybody else feel this way? Feel like my ears/head need some breathing room.
>>65012778
Yes, that's why I'm listening to it a second time.
Lovin 4 lads
>>65012778
You can listen to Jega now
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NPbAzu8vpsc
SKAM RECORDS
does anyone have any theories on how Our Good Good Lads Rob And Sean split up these tracks into these 5 portions because i'm kinda lost on that front. maybe it was just to make it more easy to digest by clumping them together or something. number 4's the only one that's been 10/10 all the way through for me but it's all super good and incredibly varied
>>65012954
Sorry, this album was on Planet Mu
>>65012954
What happened to him ?
>>65012954
hah, i'm actually about to listen to the new huerco s since thats a bit more ~minimal.
but i do need to listen to jega at some point.
>>65012981
So that people wouldn't have to drop $45 all at once.
>>65012981
yeah, i dunno. this is why i really want some interviews! i would love to hear them extrapolate upon the concept behind this whole thing.
>>65012996
I swear I remember him releasing something recently
fuck
just woke up, my lads
missed a lot it seems
>>65012954
Speaking of Skam, is Bola still doing things?
>>65013084
yeah, five new eps
>>65013119
It's an album. Look at the catalogue number.
>>65012996
>>65013082
https://bleep.com/release/69725-jega-1995
>>65013128
they wouldn't give individual discs of an album their own catalog number subdivisions mate
mesh cinereaL is their best track since cichli.
so what was that weird 20min dubby ambient thing all about then? who made that cuz it was pretty cool
>>65012996
He went into 3D/CGI/film stuff
>>65013237
apparently it's from the lesser-known first self-titled album of that 2 8 1 4 vaporwave group that got memed last year
who would be thought, the whole album is major comfy though
>>65013237
it was track 7 off 2814 by 2814
I've definitely noticed people criticizing the lack of progression, bit I don't know, I've never really listened to Ae for their super complex song structures? I mostly like the pure sound of it all, just exploring the all the spaces and rooms. It's not like it's totally stagnant either - there are certainly subtle coalescences and intensifications to these tracks.
I can't wait to spend more time with this. Better than Ae_Live and I thought that was phenomenal.

the lads don't care for em
autechre give me fuzzy feelings
>>65014023
it is interesting that while ae don't care for rh's music, they once said that they respected radiohead for being influenced by them but not ripping them off completely (while slagging off funkstorung for doing so). wish i could find the quote.
i think they're mainly put off by yorke's victim complex lol
>>65014272
>(while slagging off funkstorung for doing so)
wew, I want to see that
>>65014342
found the quote on watmm but not the original link. turns out i was wrong about what they said about radiohead a little bit but w/e:
>"They're honest about it. They're really up-front about it. They're like 'oh we like Autechre'. I'm feeling that approach, even though I don't really like their stuff that much, I'd rather that they were up-front about it, because there's other people who are way more parasitic. They've taken elements of what we've done, and what Aphex has done, and they've kind of made this weird pop out of it. And they're not lying about it. They asked us to tour with them as well. Nice to think that someone who's got a pop sensibility could even consider your shit worthy. Because it's like an outsider coming in and saying, 'I like your shit'. I'd rather listen to that [Radiohead] than Funkstörung, put it that way. Any day."

incunabula just sounds horribly dated at times and not in a warm endearing way like amber or SAW 85-92
>>65014595
yeah it def varies. the tracks were recorded over a period from '91-'93 and you can sorta tell which are newer. like bike and windwind still sound amazing imo but something like doctrine didn't fare quite as well.
Leave 2016 to us
>>65014595
this
though amber doesn't sound too dated at all imo
>>65014743
is this from a video?

I hate the title truthfully. Everything else about this release is mint, but elseq isn't powerful in the same way that Quaristice or Untilted or Chiastic Slide or Oversteps is. In fact, I actually keep forgetting what it is - I keep wanting to call it eqsel lmao.
>>65014743
they improved with age desu
>>65015331
with music or looks
>>65015381
both
>>65014875
cheers. never heard or seen an interview with them before.
Uh. Is Warp, like, not fond of Autechre anymore or something? They have haven't done anything to promote this - on Facebook, on Twitter, anywhere - apart from the botched radio show. No news or anything. Does anyone else find that odd?
This whole release cycle has been so cryptic.
>>65015823
yeah I can't tell if it's intentional or not...
>>65014743
this.
This is the first album this year I've actually felt excited about. It sounds fucking amazing from the samples I heard.
These guys have really silenced the competition and released sometihng incredible for listeners.
This might actually be the best thing they've done in years. It's just what we needed. I loved Exai from a technical standpoint, but I thought it was too tightly spun up. This sounds a lot more listenable and life / emotionally rewarding to me. I'm very excited for it.
>>65015823
I think Warp has largely fallen apart. Music labels have pretty much gone the way of the dinosaur at this point, run by a small number of people.
I have had the feeling for a while that Warp is on some kind of hiatus but I don't have any idea how it's run. It seems like most of their funds have dried up or something but I obviously have no idea what I'm talking about.
>>65015823
see that's what I'm trying to wonder
>>65015901
They definitely aren't on hiatus. They've done quite a bit of promotion and advertising/hyping for both Mark Pritchard and Plaid. They didn't even retweet anything from Ae_Store's twitter. Neither did Bleep.
Something's off.
This happened with AE_Live too, IIRC.
You had to already be a fan to have heard about it, it got barely any promo.
>>65016196
That makes sense though - those were products that only diehard fans would purchase; a "bonus" if you like. I didn't expect them to promote that heavily.
But if elseq is their official album, after 3 years no less, and the sales are one of their major sources of income, don't you think they'd want to promote it a bit more? Especially since it's priced so highly?
Why does /mu/ not care about autechre anymore
Are there too many plebs and newfags because of Montie
I feel like there should've been twice or thrice the amount of threads we had today
>>65016312
Interesting points actually. I kind of like that it's just happening under the radar instead of like Exai, Oversteps, and Quaristice. I honestly didn't even hear about the live stuff until recently, and I was a pretty huge AE fan for a long time. I didn't even hear about it in the other places I frequent
Anyway, it kind of makes this album feel a little more private and cool. Exai was huge event kind of... this feels more like secret, interesting music. I always felt like AE worked better when there was less hype surrounding it. It seems clear that hype has been kind of ruining music experience for a long time, now that I think about it.
>>65016398
we've had generals all day and most have been comfy. i'm glad we've keep these threads kind of insular. i mean, i'm not under the false impression that autechre aren't popular on this board - they clearly are (the list goes on...) - but i don't want them to become the next big meme or for us big fans to be categorized as "memers" or w/e. today has been chill just low-key chatting amongst ourselves imo.
>>65016417
i agree that it's nice that it's sort of an "in thing" but i wouldn't mind them becoming more well-known and imo they deserve more credit than they get in the music press. one of the most fun nights i've had was going to an ae gig and talking with all the other fans and dancing and discussing our fav albums etc. i'd kill to be able to have that sort of experience more often, but i don't know anyone else who likes them irl.
>fantano tweeting about it
oh great
>>65016578
are you the dude that keeps posting about how terrified you are that a band you like might end up being a meme on the internet? dude. get a fucking grip
>>65016578
>i don't want them to become the next big meme
Oh fuck me this so much.
I like these generals. I really do. They may not be perfect, but they're well above par considering the other generals and threads you'd measure them up against.
>>65016312
If elseq is just eps, maybe they're accompanying eps to AE_Live in a way and so warp also considers them "hardcore" material
probably not, but I guess it's a possibility
>>65016655
uh no? i've not mentioned that before... idrc what people think of the music or artists that i like tbqh. on /mu/ people just get weirdly dismissive of music that gets popular and i think that's sort of sad.
I don't know why /aeg/ hates watmm so much
>>65012230
>rae
ohh shiit! what a trip! somehow it feels like a swans album from an electronic robot-univers or something. seriously.. haha so funny to imagine all the robot music nerds with a swans shirt and a robot anthony fantano who gives this album a 10/10 XD
>>65017091
was it you who wrote that review on rym
>>65017091
i hate you
>>65017129
Fortunately not.
ae shit all over boc lmao r u kidding me?
i mean boc are good but ae are another level completely.
look at seans face... u can tell he takes his artistry EXTREMELY seriously... no compromise at all with that man, he will go to any lengths to see his dreams realised. he stays focused in the face of adversity and refuses to pander to anyone. look at his face. boc are missing that. they gave up after TCH. they said what they had to say. ae haven't run out of things to say. they keep on marching forward. i'll ask u again to look at sean's face. he wants to become a god in electronic music. he wants to become a legend. someone people will be talking about hundreds of years from now. he has dedicated his life to making sure his art will stand the test of time, long after he leaves this earth. you have to admit that he's done a good job of that so far. i think it's a safe assumption that sean will be talked about for generations. boc doesn't really have that lasting appeal or legendary status in-the-making. sean is taking electronic music to a level most people can not comprehend. everyone else in the field still has their training wheels on. sean shook his off over 2 decades ago - think about that. look at sean's face and try to tell me he still has his training wheels on. you can't do it. no boundaries for sean. in fact we might as well stop referring to seans' art as "music" altogether because "music" is just so limiting. sean is creating something else. you know it when you hear it. you're not listening to music when you listen to ae. you're listening to sean's unbridled determination to make planet earth a more culturally and intellectually enlightened place than when he first set foot here.
>>65017399
fuck that useless hack rob
>>65016804
There's good and bad there. It's just that there's a bunch of posters who are cavalier about dance music and think that anything that isn't idm is expendable.
>>65016804
because it's a bunch of personalities, they ban anyone who steps out of line, and pretty much purged all the good and original posters a long time ago and turned it into another controlled operation like reddit
it's not a good place
>>65017399
this is the kind of shit you'd see on WATMM before they purged all creativity and "trolls" (aka artists) from the boards
>>65017399
what about rob ?
>>65018592
who?
>>65018616
the guy who's sometimes next to sean
>>65018651
sean's chauffeur?
>>65018693
Yeah, him. I think he like gives his feedback on Sean's tracks sometimes. I think they're friends, so it makes sense.
>c7b2
my hips are moving on their own!
>>65019403
im on this too rn anon, shits great
these dudes must be what? pushing fifty? and they still be releasing this wackshit what legends
Is this autechre's noise album?
If anyone feels nice enough could you up a link for LP5? All this talk about it makes me want to give it a shot and all the archive links are busted.
>>65019455
It just keeps getting more adventurous as they get older. I have no idea how they can keep getting more and more creative as they get older, it just isn't natural.
>>65019562
I didn't hear any noise the whole way through.
>>65019580
>>65019455
How many more albums do you think the lads have in them?
I can't see them ever stopping.
>>65019623
They're going to keep getting more abstract until their music is inaudible to everyone except for them and maybe some other ascended life forms.
>>65019623
well, i think the ae_store is gonna help facilitate more music being released. they can just pump shit out with little to no promo or fanfare and their solid fanbase (e.g. me) will still throw money at them.
>>65012235
>Exai
>only 28 plays
fucking faggot it doesn't even sound good until 100 plays you're missing out
>>65019573
https://mega.nz/#F!M10gAILa!MTRbaD9ThtA8TDLlGO_3ZA
I wonder what p4k is going to give this
Will they even understand it?
>>65019623
zero. they're retiring after this.
>>65012150
Yep
Sean knows his memes
>>65019778
who cares honestly
actually now that i think about it, i sorta hope we get another meme review like untilted's
Exai > Tri Repetae > Amber > Incunabula > LP5 > all the rest are fucking shit tbqh
>>65019778
reminder that if they do review it, it'll likely have a lower score than "in colour" by jamie xx.
>>65019748
>https://mega.nz/#F!M10gAILa!MTRbaD9ThtA8TDLlGO_3ZA
ah thanks! the discog mega links in the archive were all down.
>>65019778
They reviewed Exai with a highscore so we will see.
