heh, i couldn't resist, being that i have a strong interest in linguistics, and so many of these pronunciation things are just really funny :)
quoted 2 lines incunabula>incunabula >(in-kew-nab-ular)
where did this "r" come from?
quoted 4 lines windwind>windwind >(wind-wynde) >teartear >(teer-tare)
uhh what? i think the ambiguity of saying these two songs were very intended, hence the dual pronunciation. you can say it depending on how you feel at the time.
quoted 2 lines djarum>djarum >(da-zharum)
(dya-rum) (yeah like bjork = byerk)
quoted 2 lines tri repetae>tri repetae >(try repper-tay)
where did this "r" come from??
quoted 2 lines rettic ac>rettic ac >(rettick-ack)
due to the presense of all caps on this release, i've always pronounced it "A C", instead of "ack", but it could go either way.
quoted 2 lines tewei>tewei >(tee-wee)
i think chiastic slide is cursed to be the album that people can not spell the actual track titles correctly. it's tewe, which according to the structure of english, is pronounced like "two" or "to" or "too", maybe with a little more w sound
quoted 2 lines cichli>cichli >(kitch-lee)
this has already been hashed out to death with the presence of the "cichli suite" ep. it's "sickly", as in "sickly sweet"
quoted 2 lines recury>recury >(wreck-you-ree)
sorry again, but according to the structure of root word pronunciation and suffix addition, this is still just "recur" with an "ee" added. so it's (reh-curry) wee, what fun. and it's autechre so it's obviously on topic :) cheers /derek --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
