Title: Sonic Fractals
Product review: "Draft 7.30" proved Autechre could still lay down their high-frequency calculus while making it at least somewhat musical. This is just a regression back to cerebral noise. The reviewer who suggested people ignore this if they want "old IDM" is perfectly right. Call it what it is but don't call "Untitled" IDM. The old Autehre was musical. What the new Autechre has been doing for the past five years is more akin to slapping a high tension wire with a conceptual physics textbook. People who enjoy their recent material rarely speak of it in emotional or even sentimental terms. More power to them if that's not what they enjoy. For me, this music is a fractal, not an oil painting. It may look like art but it's really one long, complex mathematical process.
