introduction to Autechre...

i know it's weird that this post is coming from me cos' i'm not really a big fan of electro, but i gotta admit that Autechre is one fantastic experimental electro duo. Autechre, an english electro duo with Rob Brown and Sean Booth on the line-up, one of the pioneer acts signed under Warp Records, a label known for its electronic music artists. this is their latest album, untilted, the eighth ever since their existence since 1987.



"The eighth album by these OG glitch kingpins is a curious thing..... every succeeding Autechre album has gotten more complex, as if there were Oulipo-style rules system guides the entire practice....... while the music may be composed in a postmodern way, then, it's staunchly modernist in its sharp, subtle honing of minimalist compositional techniques. The contrast between the jagged sounds and the surface and the moaning bass tones will either thrill or bore." - Mike McGonigal



recommended tracks:- fermium, lcc, iera...
