Autechre - LP5

Review by Benjamin Greenberg

LP5 by Autechre is a complex and challenging album that showcases the experimental electronic duo's unique approach to sound design and rhythm. From the glitchy beats and distorted melodies of "Acroyear2" to the ominous drones and fragmented percussion of "Vose In," the album is a masterclass in abstract soundscapes and unconventional song structures.

The opening track, "Acroyear2," sets the tone for the rest of the album with its intricate layers of glitchy beats and distorted synths. As the album progresses, tracks like "Fold4, Wrap5" and "Under BOAC" explore different textures and rhythms, with the latter featuring a haunting vocal sample that adds an eerie atmosphere to the track.

Simply one of the best IDM, experimental, avant-garde electronic music albums out there. LP5 can be considered an Autechre classic, and their last accesible release before we get to the 2000s and the likes of Confield and Draft 7.30. Enjoy songs like "Rae" "Fold4, Wrap5" or "Corc" because you will not find anything similar until perhaps 2010's album Oversteps more than 10 years later.
