![]() ![]() Because of this, I only discovered MD's lp a month or so ago. Why, 'cause he's been around the block - he paved the way and wasn't the next big thing. I think about how Flying Lotus, Nosaj Thing and Hudson Mowhawke were being hyped to death, but you hardly heard a peep from anyone with regards to Machine Drum's "Want to 1 2?", which was arguably much better than anything the later three artists ever put out. In fact, you're seeing that with lots of electronic music acts now. Lesser known artists have put out releases equal to or better than Autechre in the past decade, but they never got even a fraction of the attention an Ae release gets. I have a great deal of respect for Ae and what they do. Your earlier post with regards to the Altered:Carbon leak illustrates this situation perfectly. Yes, you will get your fans who pretend to reside on some higher plane and posess the intelligence to decipher and appreciate Ae's latest output, but in truth it's no better than plenty of other music currently out there. My issue with all these music heads getting so worked up over another new Booth & Brown production is that I find they never quite ever live up to the hype. I still couldn't really get into them years after repeated listens. Funny, 'cause about a day before Bleep announced the release of Oversteps, I had sold their last three releases to a used cd store. It's Autechre back to their bleepy best.ĭhex's description so far sounds like a good one, but I'm still hesitant to get too excited about another Ae release. So many people ended up owning it, albeit in a lower quality rip, that it seems Warp Records have jumped early. Then on February 8th, someone with a promo CD linked to the real thing in the comments on my blog post about the Autechre / Altered:Carbon leak.Īnd the rest is history. The label Section 27 later told me: " shared the file for one day and it went mental, if just a bit hilarious."Īnd it was hilarious, but it still left us without the new Autechre album. It turned out to be an album by Altered:Carbon and was deliberately leaked by a friend of their record label. The album was supposedly leaked in late January when a set of tracks ran riot throughout the internet. ![]() The CD will still come out in the week of March 22nd. You can also stream the album in the player below. You can buy it from the Bleep shop by clicking here. In an email to their mailing list yesterday evening, Warp Records' online record shop said: "As a surprise to all of the customers who pre-ordered the Autechre Oversteps CD or vinyl album, on Monday we dropped the digital versions of the album into their Bleep account a month earlier than expected."Įach of the 14 tracks comes with its own gorgeous artwork. Although it wasn't due for another month, the digital version of Autechre's new album was released this week.
