Autechre: physical release of Oversteps now in record stores!

Since many of you are either fans or aware of electronica pioneers Autechre, a tiny reminder that the cd and vinyl release of their 10th studio album is out now! Customers of Warp records' online Bleep store already had the pleasure of receiving the Mp3 release last month, and I can assure you: "Oversteps" is a stunning piece of work by the Manchester duo of Sean Booth and Rob Brown, once again. More than 20 years after their 12" debut, Autechre remain very much the reference in underground electronic music. Undoubtedly, this new album is Ae's most original output in years. The 14 tracks on "Oversteps" are coherent, very melodic for their recent standards and the closest Autechre has ventured into the realm of their classic 1994 ambient album "Amber". A new direction after the more club- and percussion-oriented albums "Untilted" and "Quaristice". Of course, Autechre may sound very differently again when they strike down in your area during their European tour. In any case, do not miss their show: always an experience!
