Production is amazing, but the album is kinda bloated. São Paulo is also horrible in every way of the word, but some other tracks are really cool
Mesmerizing remix EP of their first project. They get a few sounds from that album, and loop it in such a hypnotic way, specially in Minky Starshine. The AFX remixes are great too, I like the fast paced one better.
Cannot put into words how urban, watery, and emotional this album is
What a weird album. It's like Musique Concrete mixed with folk rock and it might seem weird but it flows strangely well. Kinda bloated but expected due to run time, a lot of instrumental cuts, which are OK, I just wish there were more songs such as Helpless Child and Animus on the tracklist.
It's definetly poppier, with songs like Slow Hands, C'mere and Evil, specially the ladder, being fairly well known. But what intrigues me are the deep cuts on this album, such as Narc and Not Even Jail. GOD those guitars are gorgeous, but not in a claustrophobic TOBL way, but in a sunny and happy way. It's such a welcome mood change, and while it is not as good as the urban masterpiece that is TOBL, it is such a pleasure to listen to
It's a very pretty ambient project with some very laid back synths. I really enjoyed the second half. Doesn't have the same energy as his other rifts stuff, but still great
The new songs are hit or miss. Protect the Cross and Jordan Rules are pretty cool with some nice production, but get a song like COKE OR DOPE which is just a boring mess of a track. This also applies to the "2nd" disk, with the only track I like being "What in the Hip Hop Hell is This". The others suck so much it's unbelievable, specially that geometry dash song and HATE. The tracklist is a little bit more fun, but I feel as if too much filler was added, and the ... read more
This is one of the few albums that straight up makes me cringe. Straight from the intro you get the dillan brooks line and it's such a turn off for me it's crazy. Peggy's attitude in this album is insufferable, he just feels like a sterotype of himself. "I hate white people grrrr", "I'm so chronically online and weird", "Drake likes little kids" bla bla bla. It's just comes across as repetitive and cringe. I'll give him that, his ... read more

"Great Review. In the Air is trully stellar"
On clawd's review of Autechre - Confield
"I agree up to a certain extent. The fun of Confield, in my opinion, is the complete dissasociation of "humanity" in Autechre's music. It's an important left turn in their carrer, and for electronic music as a whole, because it shows the limits of how weird yet technical electronic music can be. Even amidst the coldness, there is still some spark of emotion, which makes it such a gripping yet gruelling listen. It is a challenge, just like most moden AE, but a tremendously rewarding one.
I hope you give it another chance one day. Great review nevertheless."

On CT_Devourer's review of Autechre - Untilted
"@Normanalee "limited ability of brain"
"To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Autechre. The textures are extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of music theory, most of the enjoyment of the music will go over a typical listener's head. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these warped farts, to realise that they're not just farts- they represent a culture of highly capable and resilient listeners; a TRUE battle of artist and consumer. As a consequence people who dislike Autechre truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate the sheer clusterfuck of masterfully orginal beats that totally do have a glimpse of generative AI. Hideous? Perchance."
