Autechre - NTS Session 1 POLL

I remember it being announced, and bringing up the stream, happy to hear a mix set like their previous streaming radio ventures - then we got about 3 minutes into t1a1 and I thought hey wait this is not just some intro, it's a new Autechre track, then it went on and on and then the NEXT one was a new Autechre track, and for two hours I was so excited and happy, wondering what will they do with the other three slots? replay this? mix sets? and up came the next and when I realised it was 8 hours of new music my brain kind of melted. Probably the happiest I have been for any album release ever. I bought all the formats because I could afford to at the time, and I wanted to thank them for one of the best experiences of my life. It came out while I was going through some pretty heavy shit personally and the hourlong catharsis of "all end" was such a release.

oh man I forgot that you have to play All End loud enough to hear the melodies that aren't there, this is great

I know it's not NTS 1 but I just told my partner that 9 chr0 sounds like hip hop played on a speaker trapped inside an MRI machine. I miss reviewing (and I think Glenn McD could claim subconscious plagiarism there).

when i first started listening to Autechre i was really confused about how people would always talk about the strong hip hop influence in their music. how was "vose in" hip hop?
but it's a bit like one of those old Magic Eye pictures - you can't see the image for ages and then one day you cross your eyes (or your ears in this case) and suddenly you can see/hear it in almost everything they do.

yes! that's a good analogy
