Autechre Exai

Post by synnack » Fri Feb 08, 2013 4:29 am

Autechre's 11th release "Exai" came out today via digital download with CD and Vinyl coming early March. I downloaded it today but I haven't listened yet until I can do so properly with good headphones or speakers. (only have laptop at the moment).

Anyone else got it? Any early impressions or thoughts?

Some of the tracks feel like the soundtrack for some secret level of capcom strider 1989

I wasn't very happy with the first few tracks. Seems like "here are some leftovers that didn't make it on other releases".

But middle to end is really good.

When I listen to this incredible stuff I instantly know how bad my music is. :(

hmm, previewing it, it sounds A LOT like the last album, Oversteps. And while I liked Oversteps a lot, I was sort of hoping for a newer sound on this...

will buy it though and check it out completely.
