Autechre - vekoS

[@arasharfa]

this is like someone mixing a bowl of the most crispy iceberg lettuce, with english mustard dressing, in a thick walnut wooden bowl, with light springy tinfoil shimmering ontop.

[@David-mm1rw]

That's a very nice description; thank you and good morning

[@jamesfullwood7788]

From the perspective of the lettuce?

[@arasharfa]

@@jamesfullwood7788 yeah

[@carcasses5131]

I feel a lot of fans glossed over Exai only a few times, it's an album that takes a few more listens than an Autechre work typically does; but oh boy does it pay off, it's easily my favourite album of theirs

[@jamesfullwood7788]

This one got me right away. Most of their stuff from this century on the other hand is quite difficult for me to get into...

[@ChickenVendetta]

How did I not know about this band!? This is gorgeous

[@fleaship6134]

Electronic music's greatest boyband.

[@Bestevus]

Oh My Lord, this is music. Over and over again. Just ask anybody.

[@arasharfa]

+r.j. jackson hi i'm anybody! Anybody would give these guys the nobel prize in physics for discovering the final purpose of sound and it's emotional connections to humans. complexity has never sounded so well motivated.

[@futurfry]

fuck. from 4:10 to end is sooo groovy. so purely evocative.. so tight. absolutely evolved effects chains. the bass growling its way out of the murk. the high freqs from the shifting sample rate distortion taunting me like a DMT bird

[@sublimit777]

AE just keep getting better and better for me. I'm truly thankful. It really doesn't bother me what other people think, but i can see how that comment would piss u off :)

[@mikedepreston]

I think Autechre should be the judge on what is Autechre and what isn't! Exai sounds like a return to form to me

[@internetenjoyer1044]

overstep was amazing though

[@YesIKnowSillyName]

this might be becoming my favorite autechre record. The bass that kicks in at 1:55 , oh my god.

[@arasharfa]

it has become one of my favorite albums of all time.

[@ALovelyLad]

4:12 sounds like dropping your phone in water and trying to play any song through its soggy speakers

[@THUMBASS]

It's funny that Exai imo is one of ae's more accessible records to date.

[@MTheoOA]

really? yesterday and today i passed listening again the album and i think is one of the most complete albums, but not accessible. It's like to say One Size Fits All from Zappa is the most accessible only because is one of the best albums (IMO the funniest because of the complex compositions), understand me? I think its not bro, they have a lot of his story of identity inside this album, thing they constructed after a long discography

[@jeffthompson541]

Magic happening @ 1:50

[@shalashaskalives]

absolute belter.

[@shaunsmith1825]

So the shimmery rising note in the background from about 4:15 to the endremind me of another tune but can't think what any ideas Hawkins maybe?

[@jonwroth3672]

1:55 onwards - Autechre's greatest Dance moment?

[@qmark5926]

you were absolutely right back then. Now tis latentcall...

[@bladelores666]

IMO it would be the first drop in spl9

[@jonwroth3672]

This just popped up in my fb feed . Bit late but you're right about latentcall and spl9. Still have a soft spot for V-proc though

[@contesselina]

Ae=in total control

[@paulaustinmurphy]

This sounds a bit like 'old' Autechre to me. There's more a emphasis on sharp rhythms, like much of the earlier stuff.

[@grantmitchel]

it becomes easier after a few listens and its amazing, if it doesn't by then, then just forget it

[@BurnoutRacingLTU]

(sorry for bad english) I HAD the same problem. I didn't like the Gantz Graf or Confield. But I liked earlier works, Incunabula and Amber. Start from the beginning, then, add to your personal "have" playlist another 2-3 tracks. This music even affects your personality. I did change massively, when I heard Pen Expers, which is for me, the best, incredibly strong, tear tearing 7 minutes ever. Exai, lacks a bit of that "feelings and progression" that Confield, Draft, Untilted and Oversteps had.

[@robustelement]

Tasty.

[@sounds5383]

Superb

[@stephentilson945]

Warp cd 66 and amber also oversteps chiastic slide are some favs

[@Koettnylle]

🖤

[@stella2355]

Is it just me, or does the main beat sound like LCC from Untilted just slowed down a bit?

[@grantmitchel]

good comment, this is really a great album, its a shame others can't really see it

[@Lateralus347]

If you haven't you should check out their early albums as you may have an easier time getting into them.

[@satyros2]

thx

[@deepdivemusicreactions]

I always wondered can this type of music be performed live as it is, or it sounds different everytime you play it.

[@augusto7681]

I wonder the same. I read that they create music and record it in the same time. So I think they can't reproduce what they do.

[@jonwroth3672]

Generative music - plays tricks with yr mind....

[@otobusify]

played this at my wedding, mother in law passed out

[@cando1181]

Sleazy would be proud

[@jonwroth3672]

Yup

[@jonwroth3672]

Man - where have you been? Get Exai, go to Confield, do not pass go, do not collect £200 :)

Reminds me of Kraftwerk

[@MrBeesknees95]

I tried, just couldn't get into this band which is a shame because I see so many others are obsessed!

[@jonwroth3672]

keep up man - yuop can do it

[@joeh6915]

my brain is now a silly putty

[@INSOMNIACification]

Sounds like flying over a city planet

[@andrewbellinger6120]

I run VekOS at home

[@ПлутаркоФарше]

Vengan, vengan, vengan, vengan a Argentina.

[@stephentilson945]

It sounds like autechre to me whats the problem but confield was the only album that was diverse and maybe draft 70

[@sublimit777]

KryLon me a friggin river Frederico ;)

[@TheZairae]

Interesting, but the wrong kind of dissonant for me.

[@jazv4110]

Music with tourettes

[@ThisIsNotACigar]

I'm impressed. It's sure not easy to be this different and boring at the same time.

[@o.m.p.h.4483]

I'm sure you manage.

[@o.m.p.h.4483]

The burn must've turned you to ash, O Uncultured swine (I'm joking. Really, music taste is subjective, most of my friends hate Autechre... but I don't)

[@ThisIsNotACigar]

It's still fucking boring shit. But yeah, it's easy - I just don't buy and generally avoid the crap, just as I do with Justin Bieber and the likes.
