heard a few songs from the album through the wire stream
not promising, surprisingly enough.
you'd think after how brilliant untilted was that they'd just keep on developing something that original, but it's like they fell into a schematic hole circa 1999 and crawled out without any aim, direction, or even rhythm.

i know it's a stream and cant be judged there and etc, but seriously. it sounded idiotic, and i hope the whole comes together as an album better than its parts.

[GoatSucker]

I've been avoiding listening to anything until I get the CD actually - I got caught out with the fake promos of Untilted.
But their live shows are something else entirely - I went to the Untilted gig in London at SE1 Club, and it totally blew me away, so I can't wait to see them again...

[dubman]

so did i, and it was bad.

but it was a radio stream, so it was legit.
but it still kinda sucked

Excellent if you're an Autechre fanboy, so-so if you're not.

well - I saw them at the Black Cat in Washington, DC a few years ago (maybe 3 or 4, I can't remember)...

but they played in complete, total darkness. the only lights on in the venue were just some soft lights where the bartenders were - the Black Cat had two... like proper 'bar stands' (or whatever you'd call them), one on each side of the dance floor. Oh, and there was a bit of a glow coming off their computer screens

the entire show was basically just one long stream of music. there were no stopping points whatsoever... but at the same time, it never was anything that you could really dance to, if that makes any sense. Well, there were a few nuts in the audience sort of having full body spasms over extended periods of time, but I dunno if they were really 'dancing'

[cacophony]

years ago i would have followed autechre to the ends of the earth and back again. but the last few albums.... eh.... i haven't heard anything yet but i'm not optimistic. certainly not terribly interested in a live show at this point.

i should just stop holding out hope that they'll ever do anything like ep7 ever again.

i think we've all seen a few of these people at various clubs and concerts!

I'm looking forward to their new album and seeing them in Hamburg.

I've listened to this soundboard recording from their Untilted tour and I guess their live sets are going to be something like that. I was quite surprised as it is more accessible (and I'd even call it dancable) than their recent albums.
