Exai
82/100
Hearing a knock at your door, you answer it to see a half-dozen robots standing on your porch. They push past you into your living room, lugging synthesizers, laptops, and drum machines, and immediately start jamming in front of your flatscreen. The robots are trying to play dance music. They're trying to get jazzy on your ass. They're skipping from genre to genre before your eyes, their RAM maxed out. But the sound that comes out of them isn't anything like jazz or dance music. It's Exai, by Autechre. This album is music as it sounds to robots, and as such, it is fairly wonderful. I guess we humans would call it experimental techno. "Jatevee C" below.
