Seems they programmed a record maker AI.
One record a week.

As someone who is (somehow) just now exploring the vast sea of Autechre, I am excited to see even more new stuff. I liked Sign, after that, I started at the beginning, trying to work my way forward. Thereās a lot of ground to cover, but so far, itās great.

Donāt go through them too quickly. Give each release a week or so to settle. Especially anything post Tri Repetae. Things get more and more complex from there onwards imo.

I am simultaneously jealous and grateful that I am not in your shoes.

Youāre in for such a treat. Iāve sometimes spent months listening to just one of their EPs/albums continuously to the detriment of nearly all other music. Envane is still the best thing theyāve ever done imo. I canāt wait for you to get to that period. Amazing stuff!

They actually announced ahead of time 
Really?
I had seen SIGN announcement, not PLUS.
Damn, I love this new record so much, PLUS is way more immediate than SIGN, in my brain at least.
Beautiful one!

Anyway, they made me think about how I would program an AI that makes records.
Could be pretty fun actually.
Got to think of this a bit deeper.
so is āplusā a reference to it being extra material on top of the expected āsignā release? or should we read into the āplus signā reference furtherā¦? 
Same, I never understood the appeal, I listen to alot of electronic, Autechreās sound never really clicked with me. Iām still trying, I really enjoyed sign. Iām giving the discography another chance.
They said SIGN was a acronym but they wouldnāt reveal what it meant. Same thing for PLUS, I assume. Answers on the back of a postcard.

Somebody get Gary Busey on this!
The time I listened to the first track of Confield was the moment I fell in love with their sound.

Wow was not expecting this. Iām about halfway through the album now and so far I like this better than Sign. The sound across the entire album (so far) is MUCH more consistent, it actually sounds like a cohesive album. Sign sounded like a bunch of different tracks they threw together. Donāt get me wrong, there were some beautiful tracks on there, but overall it didnāt really make me want to come back and listen to it. Plus, on the other hand to me sounds way more interestingā¦ cool beats and textures but without getting too frantic, and still has a mellow/chill vibe to it.
Iām thinking sticking both albums on a playlist, pruning a few duds, then just listening on shuffle will be good enough to satisfy my Autechre needs for the foreseeable future. Overall very happy with these two albums way more than the Exai/elseq/NTS stuff!
