Album Notes and Credits
Notes & Personnel Info |

 |
Over a decade after its inception, Autechre remained at the forefront of electronica. While the English duo's early work (1995's AMBER, for example) boasted a warmer, more organic variation on the forward-thinking work of genre-mates like Aphex Twin and Squarepusher, the landmark double-disc TRI REPETAE found them exploring colder digital vistas with otherworldly, almost machine-like textures. UNTILTED (2005) bears many of the sonic hallmarks of that album (namely the highly processed, digitized quality of the sound), but there is something new here as well. |
|
UNTILTED is more up-tempo than much of Autechre's previous work. There is an escalation of BPMs (beats per minute) that at times seems to approximate house or drum-and-bass, as on "Ipacial Section" and "Augmatic Disport." Yet the best way to listen to Autechre is still on a pair of high-end headphones, not on the dance floor. The compositions skitter and skim along, but with a subdued, ambient air, driven more by glitchy textures and the push-pull dynamics of space and density than by clear-cut beats. Sophisticated, meticulous, and often mesmerizing, UNTILTED maintains the qualities of the duo's best work. |
