Ae on NTS, as it happened

Obviously Melbourne times, took place 3pm – 4pm London time.

1:59am david bowie’s rebel rebel serenades us from the previous show into Autechre taking over the airwaves on London’s NTS Live radio

2:00am it’s starting!!

2:02am some of this sounds like a distant pop tune going through a universal washing machine

2:05am we’ve got weird noises. I’m prone to saying machine gun-like pitter patter but probably just because i’ve been gaming for the last few hours

2:06am this sounds almost hafler trio-esque

2:07am this is odd. this is odd for 2 in the morning. i can only imagine how weird of an experience this would be listening in the afternoon in the uk

2:09am it’s really not all the fallout 4 i’ve been ploughing through, this does sound like pop radio after a nuclear holocaust

2:10am it’s less weird now

2:11am okay, it’s a bit weird again

2:13am this is pretty cool

2:15am this is fucking bizarre and it’s wonderful and did luke vibert sample this for shadows ’cause it totally sounds like it

2:17am oh is this going to be something like that amazing mix they did for mary anne hobbes just before quaristice came out?

2:21am yeap, yeap i’ve heard them play this spoken bit before – oh and this incredible piece about drowning, i think from Delia Derbyshire

2:23am indeed:

2:26am so not the same as the MAH thing, but one of their radio presenting type things

2:40am …just enjoying this…

3:00am oh dear, it’s all over! Jumping in me bed now!

Autechre on UK radio this Friday. New album soon?

Ae. NTS Live. This Friday, 1500 GMT. That’s 2am Saturday morning, Melbourne time, FWIW.

Total speculation on my behalf but I can’t help but think a new album is imminent.

  1. it’s been three years since Exai. They’ve never gone more than three years without a new album.
  2. their last three albums have all been released in March, so this is prime teaser time.
  3. 1500 GMT is 3pm. 15 – 3 = 12 OMGZ!!1! Exaiai.

Meh, it seems embedding the video throws everything out of wack. Click here to watch and get maximum excitement!!
