Autechre - Oversteps
Released: 22/03/2010
Warp
In the late 1990s, the glitchy, brain-scrambling electronica that defined Warp records seemed like the sound of the future. It didn’t quite pan out that way, but Autechre – one of the label’s foremost talents – remain committed to their craft. Decidedly cerebral sounding stuff.

NME“An imaginative offering from these pioneers of electronica...” True, Warp & Aphex’s age of electro may have passed, and some tricks here that were once jarring now seem familiar, but their prickly oeuvre of tantalising possibility still feeds the imagination...
.
Guardian“You don't need a PhD to appreciate a glittery melody...” Autechre's 10th album sees them reign in the wilful complexity that's characterised their output in the last decade...
.
The Times“Growling bass, intergalactic funk and chiming melodies...” When the aliens do make contact the one thing that we’ll all have in common will be Autechre...
.
Pitchfork“Almost organic...” Focusing on creating tension and release within their compositions, they're still incorporating new designs, not merely repackaging the previous products...
.
MusicOMH“Depersonalising, disturbing, yet somehow right...” When even the track titles are difficult and unclear it is evident that one is dealing with a band that demands dues are paid. If you choose to do so, the time and effort spent may well ultimately pay off...
.
Drowned In Sound“Arguably their best album to date...” Diehard fans needn’t worry that Autechre have diluted themselves in that respect, for Oversteps is still a challenging listen, and one which reveals endless layers of new detail with each spin. But it’s also their most instantly rewarding...
.
Dusted Magazine“Autechre still excel when they zoom in on the percussive...” Oversteps can trudge a bit – there’s a ponderousness to some of the cuts that’s borne of that most un-Autechreish of values, predictability. It takes a while for the exhilaration to kick in, but when it does, it’s worth the wait...
