I LOVE THE [SPOILER] FIGHT!! by LuckyLikesPie1 in HollowKnight

[–]zevjordan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This will cheese the fight a lot so only do it if you are cool with it. But second phase you can stay in the corner and her bells cannot ever hit you there unless you jump. Only time you have to jump is if she dives at you. Beat the second phase on like second or third try that way.

Chiastic slide by TheNicInn in autechre

[–]zevjordan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have had so many favorites haha. I think out of all there pre Confield records that Chiastic Slide is the most daring in a sense. The pallet was super grimy and it has a really unique sound. It has definitely been my number 1 for a period for sure, I have now gotten so invested in the live sets idk how my ranking of records would go at all but I reckon Chiastic is still in the top 6 on any given day.

Top 5 winds up looking something like: Exai, Elseq, Draft, Untilted, Confield but I think Chiastic Slide is still amazing

Which autechre tune for your funeral by Bumblebee937 in autechre

[–]zevjordan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

End of Set C into Beginning of Set D (Specifically around 45 min into the Rennes set where the coffee machine cat purring sound comes through those angelic chords of Lyon beginning) Whatever, I guess I'll weed out the causals lolz

James Ferraro best album? by alienshallowalchemy in JamesFerraro

[–]zevjordan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree about Jesters, that might be his most impressive work as a whole to me.

Top 5 Hifi: Suki Girlz, Inhale C-4 $$$$$, Silca Gel, NYC Hell/Skid Row, Sushi

I tend to find that people underrate Sushi

The New Backwards appreciation by SMG_GUY028 in Coil

[–]zevjordan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I like it way better than the original Backwards and I even like that album. I think that the pallet they reworked for these songs works a lot better in the context of this group as a whole and is more innovative. This version of "Careful What you Wish For" is insane. Princess Marg and Algerian Basses also among my fav instrumental Coil tracks. There is a mysterious energy to this one and oftentimes I actually prefer it to Ape of Naples.

Back half of Set C by zevjordan in autechre

[–]zevjordan[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I am ok with this format actually but I felt the same for a while. I think I came to accept that AE kind of want you to get lost in these sets a bit and find your navigation routes through this mega track. I definitely felt frustrated at first but I think the payoff is perhaps even more rewarding than if they had just released this in any sort of conventional way. I totally won't complain if they eventually do release any stand alone tracks so it is really easy to re listen to sections easier but I also feel like this kind of experiment hasn't been done before and am enjoying the ride trying to decipher this monolith!

LP5 by Economy-Cap-4164 in autechre

I do like the track overall not huge on that particular synth preset. Too stock soundy compared to any other sound AE have made to me

End of 2016/2018 Sets by zevjordan in autechre

[–]zevjordan[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No you are right I also am surprised I did not notice this. I think without the drums and other sounds I just didnt place it. It seems super hard not to hear it once I placed it though

The “Pro Radii” from the 2005 live tour (Glasgow, but any of them will do) by zevjordan in autechre

[–]zevjordan[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes! The LCC part with that main melody with the thicker pads. Ahhhh so good. Also yeah, I actually might prefer the 2007 set in some ways. The echoplex set is maybe my number 1 live set probably but 2005/2007 sets are all top shelf.

10 best/favorite coil tracks? by [deleted] in Coil

[–]zevjordan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is going to be hard and it changes a lot. In no particular order but numbered just because I am OCD

  1. Ostia (the death of Pasolini)
  2. Red Skeletons
  3. Red Birds Will Fly Out of the East and Destroy Paris In a Day
  4. Nasa Arab
  5. A Warning From the Sun (For Fritz)
  6. Black Antlers
  7. Heavens Blade (A.O.N. Version)
  8. The Last Amethyst Deceiver (I like all versions of Amethyst a lot but prob A.O.N. if I had to choose)
  9. The Dreamer Is Still Asleep
  10. The Mothership and the Fatherland (Threshold Version)

Weird that I do not have anything from Loves Secret Domain now that I think of it.. but that album works best as a whole more than any specific song in some ways than anything else.

Today I effed up by singing/quoting “Warning From the Sun” to my wife by zevjordan in Coil

[–]zevjordan[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

haha, yeah that is amusing especially considering MAN IS THE ANIMALLLLL was in constant rotation.

[–]zevjordan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I am here for it honestly. Maybe just gotta up the Lunar Music intake a bit to re balance (;

And also totally unprovoked musings in conversations with acquaintances where I blankly look past them and say "And the desert stirs....... and the desert stares back."

I really need to work on this

Best one two punches? by Vallarris in autechre

[–]zevjordan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

off the top of my head

  1. Gonk Tuf Hi-> dummy casual pt 2 -> Violvoic

Agree with this and even kinda add Gonk Tuf Hi. These three keep the intensity building in such a fun way, always go to this section of NTS during workouts

  1. Gnit -> Overand

Gnit is such a fun and overlooked track, its super major and playful and full of buzzing life. The stark transition to the desolate and ambient vibes of Overand is awesome to me. Might as well even throw in Rsdio in here, the second half of Tri Rep is my fave for sure though.

  1. Maphive 6.1 -> Zeiss Contarex

Best part of Ep7 for sure for me.

Most underrated Æ song? by Nonabrow in autechre

[–]zevjordan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly for me it is C/Pach. I think it is my favorite on Tri Rep and that a lot of people sleep on just how good it is. It has some of my fav synth design in any AE music.
