But I don't buy that argument, it seems as weak a statement as "it's just your opinion".<br /><br />I've commented at length on Exai on my own blog at http://eschaton-omega.blogspot.co.uk/2013/02/exai-not-exciting-at-all.html<br /><br />I'll simply say that I fully agree. I felt on FIRST listen that this was a retread to their pre-Oversteps (post-EP7) material, with much random MAX/MSP nonsense going on, the usual stabs, blips, plops, glitches and such that they became well known for.<br /><br />There is almost never any "power" to this music. No rocking out, no kicking of arse, forgive my simplistic terms but I don't feel anything listening to this album except the same irritation that built up listening to Draft, Confield and the like.<br /><br />If they had included more "harder" pieces like SPL9 or the industrial battering ram of Confield's bonus track, it might have been more engaging. But no, Exai is full of the same old barely-melodic randomness of AE-by-numbers-on-autopilot that will fool some people into thinking it's a higher art form, when Exai - much like Confield, Draft, and Untilted - is ultimately quite a vacuous experience.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-660808341284783109.post-90796556239837697012013-03-31T12:40:23.960+04:002013-03-31T12:40:23.960+04:00runrepik?

The dark, "imposing" atmosphere is just like anything else on the album, but the song itself is surprisingly varied and dynamic, and it easily stands out from the rest for me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
