This came out in 2005 — or at least that’s when I got it. Here’s what I said about it back then (with some minor editing):
No, not Untitled. That title is Untilted. As in on the level. Straight up.
That, to some extent, is how the electro-glitch duo of Sean Booth and Rob Brown approach their eighth full-length as Autechre. Unlike some of their mid-period works that seemed obsessed with knob-twiddling sonic manipulation, the eight cuts on this 70-minute transistorised communique pay a little more attention to composition and structure. Which is not to label art-damaged pieces like LLC or Fermium as ‘songs’ even in the loosest and most liberal sense. Still, somewhere among the spastic beatbox convulsions, ambient atmospherics and random synth spewage of these post-rock constructs, there is occasionally the sensation of a human hand, head and heart behind the machinery. On the level.
