Pretty nice, perhaps Incunabula for Autechre also?

Will need a relisten as haven't heard it in a while. Should probably make it on here but below Amber. Nothing on there struck me as instant masterpiece like, for example, Further on Amber. Would probably give that song a 9.5, at least a 9.25.

What would you rate Not Available by Residents?

khriz07/24/2009

Thank you very much for asking me! That comment made me check out not available properly. Previously I'd only skipped through the album and only never known questions stood out for me. On the proper listen I think it's even better than their debut.

Sweet! It is an epic listen, strikingly original and moving. The last section of "Making of a Soul" is a masterpiece within a masterpiece. I'd rate it around 9, and the debut around 8.5, they are pretty close in quality!
