“Since I fell for the music of Boards of Canada, Aphex Twin and all those affiliated artists, whom are typically signed to Warp Records, I've been listening to Autechre on the side. They've never been able to accumulate the attention I've given to the former two artists, mostly due to the erratic, lengthy structures present in their music and the intense mood which often prevails - but, as I've slowly worked further through their discography, at a snail's pace, I am beginning to find that the laid-back tone and warmth which I so often appreciate in IDM, is in fact here. In 'LP5' - their untitled fifth album - their sound is soft and familiar; repetitive enough to follow; yet emotive enough to engage. This track, I find, is perhaps the best exemplification of this ability to cater to a welcoming tone, without abandoning their percussive nature.”
