New Autechre Album out in March!

I wasn't sure whether I was going to buy this, but after listening to it a couple of times on their myspace I couldn't resist, what do you think Ghosty? I think it is there best for a long time:thumbsup:, it is more structured and has more variation in style than there previous two. I've listened to it a lot since I downloaded it, and I've also got more into the previous two as well.

I'm sure that there are voice samples in this album, there must be. Are tou sure that they NEVER use voice samples Ghosty? It really sounds like they do on this, but you never know maybe they are just really good at making technology sound like voices.

Nah this record is pretty different than the previous few records, they contuniue to re-analyze thier sound with every album... that said, it still has their signature sound. It's got a somewhat more live and human feel to it than the cold metaloid sounds of untitled or draft 7.3... but it also contains elements of the more minimalist and ambient sounds of thier early works like the amber-tri repetae era. There are also more distorted vocal samples in this album than any release by them I've heard before, it's an interesting dynamic shift for them. As unintelligible as it may be to figure out what the samples actually might be saying, they chop them in with thier other abstract sounds until it becomes another element of the rhythm of the track, it also fills in a sonic space that was left alone in a lot of their other works. On a whole, it's another new shift for Autechre that's a challenging but enjoyable listen
