My first thought after the two fake leaks of the album was, that the promo CD might be just another fake. Oversteps is not AE at their very best. It has a great production of course, blasting my hifi speakers each time the bass rolls along. But I don't hear anything new on here, really very Tri Repetae and a bit Confield plus Draft 7.3.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4902141135856909810.post-39999170615272618672010-02-06T17:41:30.644-08:002010-02-06T17:41:30.644-08:00Brendan - thanks for reading the blog, though admi...Brendan - thanks for reading the blog, though admittedly I'm a bit hesitant to post more of my reactions, since I'm wrestling with exactly how to put it myself. It's not that beats aren't there, more than they're a lot less up-front, and melody takes greater precedence than I personally might have expected for an Ae album. Perhaps one of the best ways of explaining some of the sounds is to say that Sean did talk about some of his favorite synths of the moment being intricate FM monsters - FS1R, FM8. I think that's where I was hearing the Plaid comparison.<br /><br />As for the next issue of Big Shot, it should be out some time in March, probably a couple weeks before the album drops.David Abravanelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17909921839442780077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4902141135856909810.post-28350571398422153092010-02-02T23:02:13.930-08:002010-02-02T23:02:13.930-08:00In addition to Brendan's post I'd like to ...In addition to Brendan's post I'd like to know when your lengthy 1800 words AE article will get published?

The brief interview you posted on a different page made it seem that way, I but I find it difficult to imagine a completely beatless autechre album.<br /><br />I doubt you will get into any trouble by answering this question! :)<br /><br />Thanks, for your postings btw.

Yeah I was surprised at how old school oval moon sounded...makes sense that it was originally from that era (I wonder how much other stuff they have laying around from the early 90s that we have yet to hear).<br /><br />The past aside, I'm excited as all hell to hear what they've done with this one..

I will say this though, it's way more tonally-focused in parts than I would have expected.
