NTS Sessions 1-4, often shortened to NTS Sessions, is the thirteenth studio album by Autechre released on Warp Records. The four sessions were first individually broadcasted on London-based online radio station NTS throughout April 2018, before the entire project became available for download on the April 26th, 2018. Physical versions of the album later became available for purchase on August 13th, 2018.

History

Having previously done a DJ Mix for NTS Radio on January 22nd, 2016[1], NTS Radio invited Autechre to be one of their residents. They were initially hesitant to construct an 8-hour DJ mix until they realised that they had enough original material to span that time.[2][3] NTS Sessions 1-4 was conceived as a radio show performance first, with the proper release instead being the archival version - similar to their previous Peel Sessions.[3][4] Other points of influence for this style include their IBC pirate radio shows around the time of Lego Feet[3] as well as their Kiss FM Disengage shows.[5]

Similar to other adjacent records, the material was a lot of long live sessions that were edited down.[5][6] Much of the material either came from jams done between Exai and elseq 1-5 or new jams done on old patches, with the oldest material dating back to 2011 with a "bladelores" jam.[3] Some of the material was also performed at their 2014/2015 and 2016/2018 live shows, with Sean noting that "most of NTS Sessions was like cells from live sets".[7] Autechre explicitly noted the aesthetic goals were both to create "developed alternate versions of existing Autechre material", in a similar vein to Cocteau Twin or The Fall making alternate versions of famous tracks,[5] as well as "deep mixing", where elements are not upfront or noticeable on first listen.[3]

On April 3rd, 2018, the announcement was sent out that each 2-hour session would be aired every week Thursday at 4PM GMT throughout April on the 5th, 12th, 19th and 26th respectively.[8][9] The first session was made available for download on April 9th, with the rest being made available hours after being aired.[8] After all four sessions were aired, the entire 8 hours were then looped constantly in a permanent residency, which is still ongoing as of writing.[10]

Initially, the plan was to just keep it as a digital-only release similar to elseq 1-5, however with the wider audience that NTS Sessions would reach, physicals were arranged for 12xLP boxset, 8CD boxset and individual 3xLP for each session, which were sent out a few months later to customers who pre-ordered.[8][11] The initial 12xLP box set however was laden with warping issues and had replacement copies sent to buyers.[12] Due to the length restraints of physical copies, edits were made to fit tracks on each CD/disc, mostly in regard to their transitions.

  • "shimripl casual" appears in the 2016/2018 live sets. (example)
  • On both the CD and LP version, the track ends with a fadeout.
  • On the LP version, the track is split into 2 parts, with a few minutes on the side with "column thirteen" and the rest on a different side.

all end

  • The particular drone sound at the end of "bladelores" is what became "all end". In an interview, they confirmed that the name is in fact because the track uses the end of "bladelores" for all of the track, alongside feeling right because "It was the end, and it was long and all."[5] It also appears at the end of "splesh".
  • It was confirmed that "all end" was solely made by Rob. [16]
  • On the LP and CD versions of NTS Sessions, "all end" only has a fade in rather than the short transition from "shimripl casual" at the start. Due to the length of "all end", it was split up into 3 parts to fit on 3 sides.

sinistrail sentinel

  • Exclusive bonus track for people who brought NTS Sessions on AE_STORE and Bleep. Part of the Adult Swim Single Program.
  • "sinistrail sentinel" appeared on the 14/15 live sets. (example)
