A stone cold classic cranked to ear-splitting levels, as it should be.

Have you listened to this from start to finish? Let me guess: you just bought new mega-buck high end speaker cables and burned them in?

Autechre --- elseq 1-5

This came out 2016, but only as download. I skipped the release, because I want physical releases, CDs. Maybe I wasn't even into Autechre that much at that time. Now I feel like finally getting into this 4 hours* long project and I am listening to it on Spotify.

On my first listen I really liked the track "eastre" on elseq 3:

And the track "foldfree casual" on elseq 4:

* After the 8 hours long NTS Sessions 1-4 of 2018 that doesn't look so intimidating,  but in 2016 it did!

most soothing

Arguably the best British rock album ever. Happy people out in the open.

In the record store today and a song with the following lyrics comes on over the speakers. I go up to see what the name is of this maga-type and am saddened to see its someone I'd long found interesting and sporadically great, and now this will be what I think of next time I hear his name. And someone who haddone some of his best work in world music collaborations:

"Lord tell me why a white man ain't worth nothing in this world no more
Lord tell me how you 'spect me to stand up tall and proud
Now I did just what you told me (uh huh)
I done everything you said (oh yeah)
But the way I'm doing lately I could have stood in bed
So Lord tell me why a white man ain't worth nothing in this world no more

Lord tell me when a white man's gonna be all right again
Please fix it, Lord
They took back everything we'd been working for
Now when the riots tore our city (uh huh)
I stood watch outside our home (oh yeah)
My kids crying daddy why can't they leave us alone?
Split level in Valencia (uh huh) where the cops reside (one time)
We walked away and left old memories inside
Oh Lord, tell me why a white man ain't worth nothing in this world no more
God almighty

You walk across the silvery moon and get back home all right
But it ain't safe to walk the streets of your home town at night
Now I'm a Lord man from the Lord land
But a Lord man ain't worth nothing in this world no more

That's too bad
What happened?
Everybody was your friend
Where's everybody gone?
What happened to howdy neighbor, howdy
Nice to see you
Company comin' up the road"

You missed the point of the song.  The character singing is, as the reviewer in the New Yorker wrote, "a baffled, older working man."
