I'll certainly take this into consideration next time I ponder buying an album online.

bingo!
man, when I discovered that the album was online it was about 12pm EST, I was sleep deprived and just couldn't have been fucked signing up to bleep if I wasn't going to listen immediately. That was probably a mistake, I've been trying to access this shit for 5 hours now....

I finally gave up on bleep and got mine from somewhere else, I paid for it I can download it from anywhere I want to download it from.

Bleep.com is sending me back a sql error.

Argh !

I need my weird noise dose, I didn't like untitled that much ( except one track that is totally awesome ).

I hope this one will be better

There is something I really like in autechre but I never know exactly what. I understand people telling it's random krap, in fact it's me I don't understand.

No matter, can't wait to listen

the new album is full of the most old school sounding stuff they've done in a decade or more. Some of the movements/tracks are almost straight up Amber, with touches of the modern sound sprinkled about. There's also a few tracks/parts that were part of the 2005 tour, and a lot of the same kinds of tricks and sounds that were on the last 3 full lengths.

this is true - although i think the album is let down slightly by it - seems to me they dusted off a collection of old tracks and just tarted them up a bit, a good Ae album but by no means a great Ae album (my listening experience may differ from yours).

having said that, there's a great interview in next months Sound Control magazine that most of you wont get because you hate the place and no doubt will never see the mag.

I did manage to download 5 of them. Will try for the rest tonight when I get home from school.

re: Bleep and Flac.

I tried to zip my files but that was endless, so I right-clicked the download page and opened it again in a new tab and downloaded each Flac file one at a time, blam, worked just fine.

re: Quaristice.

once or twice, this album drops into Draft 7.30 style beats that I just can't get 100% into; they never resolve for me. Don't get me wrong, I love 95% of Draft 7.30, there's just a few measures on there that still don't sit right after literally hundreds of close listens.

That said, I love this record... IO, Simm, Altibzz, Tankakern.... tons of great sounds and material here. It sounds ridiculously sick with a subwoofer, btw, almost a different record listening at home than on tiny speakers at work. I haven't had a chance to listen to the FLAC files through my super T-amp -> yamaha NS-A636's set up yet... this will definitely be the soundtrack to my programming sessions this weekend.

Hey b0unce, I haven't bought a ton of stuff from bleep, but I have bought a few albums. This is the only time I've ever seen the site running like that. The downloads are always totally painless and quick.

My suspicion is that there were oodles of cats from all over the globe hitting the site trying to cop the new autechre joint at one time and it got overloaded.

I just gave up, figure I'll come back in a day or two and grab the rest of the tracks they still owe me. But yeah, usually the bleep experience is a painless one.

Cheers for the tip,
It's been running smooth all day. Downloads lickity-split, just bad timing with the first download I guess.

I got some stuff @bleep.com from the SKAM label since posting that, so uh......I eat my words with humble sauce.

btw, I know smutek is polish for something....do you know what ?

Yep, it means "sad" or "sadness".

Something to do with one of those European wars I suspect, the russians the germans the germans the russians....

Hey, reminds me, my mom once showed me a pretty cool clipping from an old article about one of my distant relatives, Stanislaw Smutek or something like that, he was being hunted along the Czech/Polish border for killing Nazis and frontier guards during the second world war occupation.

Was interesting.

After a day of repeated listens I think this is mostly an excellent album. There are a few tracks I don't think I'm ever going to like but I think this is the most interesting album they've done in quite a while.

Anyone know where the flac download link is...?

I got to add it to the cart yesterday by adding F to the mp3 download link, and it's in my cart... Only it doesn't give the filesize, which leads me to believe the flac DL is gone?

edit:
Well fuggit I went and bought it and the flacs were there. GG. Odd they took the purchase link of the page though.

The album is called Untilted not Untitled
