Untilted
[Warp/PIAS]
It's inevitably difficult to stay singular and atypical, to maintain one's status while one's essential desire is renewal. Obviously, this paradox doesn't scare the duo, it even motivates them, as proven by their productivity and the frequency at which they release their new productions. Hardly two years after "Draft 7.30", Autechre comes back to haunt us with "Untilted". It's always as difficult to dissect an album made by these two geniuses, as the perception one's may have of it depends on many elements. Here, the tracks are more rectilinear and longer (each of the 8 tracks is between 6 and 16 minutes long, that's 70 minutes for the whole). It shows an obvious intention to leave time for the listener, which he often lacks, to understand the complexity of their compositions. The complete work of Autechre is a real breviary that only Sean Booth and Rob Brown know the whole content of, and "Untilted" is simply another new element.
