I hope you didn't skip Move of Ten.

What? Where? The Bleep page still says March 2013.

I really hope this is more a melodic Autechre than needles-to-your-brain Autechre

If you preordered thru Warp/Bleep you got an email allowing you to dl it early. Physical copy still shipping in March however. I cannot confirm if you can buy it now on there and get a download link.

I have Move of Ten but didn't like it as much as Oversteps. I appreciate it but don't really enjoy it; much like Quaristice. Everything they do is interesting, it's just sometimes not enjoyable. When they hit that sweet spot though, they're incredible.
You can. Go to bleep.com and you can DL it. The server is incredibly slow though. My purchase went through, but downloading the actual file is proving to be a hassle.

people praising the artwork are baffling me. it's uninspired and boring; and i normally love miTDR, but geez.

This album is very hip hop. Much more immediate than anything they've done in a long while.
So far I'm very impressed.

I think I must be listening to a different album than you are. Besides, everyone knows the best albums are tri repetae and incunabula
LP5 was my first Autechre album, so its a bit hard for me to judge, I've listened to it too many times. But I prefer Chiastic Slide because it is more open and atmospheric. I still don't think any Autechre album has matched the production/sound design of Chiastic. And those dark sinister melodies.
Edit: The download has started!!

Ae albums are pretty varied, so it's easy to have personal favorites vastly different from other people. I think LP5 is the perfect middle ground between their crazy beat experimentation and gorgeous melodies.
My first Ae album was Confield (!) which I think is also one of their best. Great rainy day background music. But they have been on fire in the past few years with Quaristice, Oversteps and Move of Ten. They're embracing melody without losing their experimental roots.
And I finally got the damn thing downloading. Soon.. so soon.

It's too early to evaluate it in scope of everything else. my fav is confield followed by Chiastic Slide.
Sounds alot like their live sets mixed with a bit of everything from their career, which is awesome.

Yeah I love Confield too and the rest. Although I still think they should have released Quaristice Versions as the main album, and Quaristice as an EP.
This download is going to take forever...
I like them (tri rep especially), just not as much.
I really hate Incunabula and Amber. They sound so dated to my ears. Tri Repetae is when they start getting really amazing IMHO.
That's my favorite Autechre album :\
I just never connected with it. But tons of people love it, so it's not so much the album as it is a matter of personal taste.

This album is complete OUTER SPACE
hmm, just finished a full listen and i'm conflicted about it
theres definitely some good stuff on there, but as an album, its all over the place. theres no real consistency to it, parts of it sound like left overs from draft 7.3, other parts are hip hop gescom sounding stuff. there are some tracks that sound fresh and some that sound like they are re-using the same old sounds and effects one time too many.
if they cut it down in half it would be much better as an album

I don't know what i'm listening to at times but I think I like it. My only exposure to Autechre up to this point has been Amber so I've obviously got a lot of catching up to do.

My favorite band ever. Well, until 2002 that is.
Basscadet remixes still in my ears every now and then, Chiastic Slide rocks, LP5 is an absolute masterpiece, Tri Repetae is a classic, and the Lego Feet / SKAM / MASK stuff are great too. But recently? Errr...
For the anecdote I smoke a joint with Sean Booth and Rob Brown at a concert in Normandie 10 years ago, as they were looking for something to relax after their set
We discussed Roland Topor kids stuff on TV, quite unexpected....

A bit overwhelming to ingest all in one sitting, but the amount of things discovered so far by listening puts this up there as one of, if not their best album yet for me.

Been wanting a melodic Autechre album for like a decade, seems that this is it. Amazing that they came back to it. These two guys are the best electronic musicians on the planet.
