What are you listening to?

[Tito Lozano]

MASSIVE - "Eurochild"

[3D]

Sitting in my day care, the art is decopainted
Blessed by the drink
Upon the corner's where we've seen it
Chased by the plane it
Haunted by the medium
Too high to flow toward to break the tedium
Glow from my tv set was blue like neon
Activated the remote I put the BBC on
I've seen this city somewhere
I'm looking out for no-one
Pallor in my eye it get blue like neon

[Tricky]

Hell is round the corner where i shelter
Isms and schisms we're living on a skelter
If you believe i'll deceive then common sense says shall you receive
Let me take you down the corridors of my life
And when you walk, do you walk to your preference
No need to answer till i take further evidence
I seem to need a reference to get residence
A reference to your preference to say i'm a good neighbour
I trudge so judge me for my labour
I walk in a bar and immediately I sense danger
You look at me, girl, as if i was some kind of a
A total stranger

[3D]

Hysterical, ecstatical no matter, call me stags(?)
Hard to get a drink or a girl to relax
Upon phono, no go zone i go through
Aching awaits just to relocate you
Kill us with your fist
Now baby mix it with me
You see me function better when i get approximately
High by my technical flyby
I function better with the sun in my eyes
So goodbye

[Tricky]

Take a second of me you beckon i'll be
And when you're sad i'll mourn
And when you tear i'm torn
Take a second of me
Take a second of me
I stand firm for our soil
I lick a rock off foil
So reduce me, seduce me
Dress me up in Stussy.
Show me and i'll stick em
Will you be my victim
Take a second of me

[3D]

Mad over you, mad over me, an analogy
Baby tagging up up all of my stationary
Sitting in my daycare, media dego painted
Colliding with the jam
Until the drink got dated
Window indigo when they go boom
I run inside my room
No sense you can trust me
Climb on my sofa
Roll in a daydream
Spliff make daddy go sleep-a-trip dream

What other AE-album is "Exai" comparable with? Think I'll give it at least one try, still like Oversteps quite well.

I'd say it's most similar to Draft7.30, a mixture of that and the more beat driven bits of Move Of Ten. Though I have to admit it's quite a tough album and you're plunged head first into one of their more challenging tracks, but slowly and surely it comes together to become one of their most satisfying releases to date. There's so much to take in that it is quite overwhelming on the first listen but on each repeat you pick up on more and more nuances to the beast of the album.

[dell1972]

I'm giving Exai a first listen this morning and it's not as hard a listen as I thought it would be. Some of it could even be classed as almost ambient. Only got as far as track 11 so far though, it's quite a marathon. I've generally given the latter day stuff a wide birth, but I can imagine there'll be more to this on repeated listens.

[tryptych]

Dryft - Ventricle
Crisopa - Biodance
bvdub - All Is Forgiven

all on the great n5MD-label (which is all new to me), all IDM/ambient stuff..
None of them is really mindblowing, but just some quality electronic music.

Afterlife - The Afterlife Lounge

Nice lounge. It's ok.

For those looking for a mixture of some old skool electronica, hiphop and avant-garde stuff Autechre are doing two of their extended (4+ hours) mixes this weekend. The first one started a couple of hours ago and the new one is the same time tomorrow (8pm GMT) - http://mixlr.com/autechre/

(Edit - so far it's been going on for 5 hours with no sign of stopping !)
(Edit2 - 6 hours, still going strong but I'm off to bed)

Last edit - It went on for just over 10 hours in the end Here's a link to last night's show (link will expire in a couple of weeks) - https://www.wetransfer.com/downloads/54 ... 740/0adb84

My copy of Exai arrived, sadly my girlfriend hates Autechre so now I need to find a chance to listen to it...

[Dennis]

sadly my girlfriend hates Autechre

Too much masculine energy, huh? I wonder if there are any girls who are into ae, especially their post-millenial efforts. Guess it's just a kind of 'laddish music'.

[Pandemonium]

Thanks for the link Pete

Yeah, I don't know any girls who are into 'ae'.

[Ross]

She finds everything after Incunabula too cold and inhuman. Trouble is finding a two hour spot to give this a listen!

[LooseLink]

I was wondering when they were going to do a broadcast.. or uh two :O

The first one is 10 hours long, alot less hip hop this time, 1 file download:

Some of the tracks on Exai sound sweet, there's a hip hop like one I'm trying to find the title to.

[Tito Lozano]

i remember between dreams listened indo tribe - owl (from bleeps and breaks vol.3 version) was incredible set,and today,whats happen?

[Tito Lozano]

And yeaah thanks Pete for share link ,and for exai i check samples on bleep etc and sounds very interesting

[Ross]

Listened to the first disc on headphones, very impressed, strikes me as more like Untilted than Draft, but unlike Untilted (my least favourite Ae record) there's lots of lovely melodic stuff in there. Seems like they took that element of Oversteps and applied it to the rhythmic sounds of the previous few, which is what I've been hoping for for years. Bladelores is particularly excellent, and I loved the dramatic breakdown in the middle of the second track. Here's hoping the second disc is as good!

[mcbpete]

Yeah Bladelores is bloody ace - easily my favourite on the album. I think I prefer the first disk to the second, the second ain't bad though the Gescom like r&b/hip hop tracks towards the end break the flow a little.

Here's the second 10 hour Autechre web stream - https://www.wetransfer.com/downloads/e6 ... 421/48c379
