Which edition did you own? The one from the UK or the
Marylin Manson one?

"Autechre are an English electronic music duo consisting of
Rob Brown and Sean Booth, both natives of Rochdale, Greater
Manchester. Formed in 1987, they are one of the most
prominent acts signed to Warp Records, a label known for its
pioneering electronic music and through which all Autechre
albums have been released.

While heavily associated with IDM (intelligent dance music),
Booth and Brown are ambivalent to relating their sound to
established genres.[1] Their music has exhibited a gradual
shift in aesthetic throughout their career, from their
earlier work with clear roots in techno, electro and hip hop
to later albums that are often considered experimental in
nature, featuring complex patterns of rhythm and subdued
melodies. Oversteps, their most recent album, was released
in early 2010.

Autechre have also recorded under various pseudonyms. One of
the duo's earliest recordings was a 12" under the alias Lego
Feet, released in 1991 on Skam Records. The majority of
releases by the mysterious "umbrella project" Gescom, most
of them on Skam, have been attributed to Booth and Brown,
among other artists."

LP5 was a major turning point for Autechre - LP5 refines the
experimental attitude that the group started on Chiastic
Side.

LP5 sounds best on wax. The crackles and pops compliment
the cold crisp production.

ese iTunes store) brings the total length of music released
during their Quaristice era to over five hours. Among this
is the hour-long, extremely minimal "Perlence subrange 6-36"
that closes the EP. The sound of Quaristice, while unusually
erratic, is arguably highly representative of Autechre as a
whole: it contains washes of ambience, and heavily processed
and textured sound design, together with beats both typical
of IDM and resembling the techno and hip hop that influenced
the duo in their early days. Each track on Quaristice was
edited down from lengthy improvised sessions between Booth
and Brown,[17] some of which were released in longer
versions on Quaristice. Quadrange.ep.ae. Although Sean Booth
has stated that the FLAC release of Quaristice is the actual
product,[18] the album was also released by Warp Records as
a double LP and a single CD as well as an elaborate two CD
edition by Warp Records. Limited to only 1000 copies,[19]
and containing both the regular album and Quaristice
(Versions), this special edition was packaged in a
photo-etched steel case. It sold out within 12 hours of
being announced.[20]

On 13 January 2010, Warp Records announced Oversteps,
Autechre's tenth album. Originally slated to be released in
March, it was released a month early in digital form on
Bleep.com to those who preordered it; the CD and deluxe
vinyl editions were released on 22 March 2010. A two-month
European tour occurred in support of the album, followed by
limited shows in Japan and Australia, the latter breaking a
15 year absence. The sound of Oversteps, as with Quaristice,
is greatly eclectic, though it is perhaps their most
noticeably ambient release since 1994's Amber. Autechre then
compiled a mix for the magazine FACT, released in February
of the same year, that consisted of tracks by artists as
diverse as J Dilla and Necrophagist. On 25 May 2010, Warp
Records announced the ten track Move of Ten, an EP by the
duo in conjunction with the release of Oversteps. The
digipack CD and the two 12" vinyl version

Bears are mammals of the family Ursidae. Bears are
classified as caniforms, or doglike carnivorans, with the
pinnipeds being their closest living relatives. Although
there are only eight living species of bear, they are
widespread, appearing in a wide variety of habitats
throughout the Northern Hemisphere and partially in the
Southern Hemisphere. Bears are found in the continents of
North America, South America, Europe, and Asia.

Common characteristics of modern bears include a large body
with stocky legs, a long snout, shaggy hair, plantigrade
paws with five nonretractile claws, and a short tail. While
the polar bear is mostly carnivorous and the giant panda
feeds almost entirely on bamboo, the remaining six species
are omnivorous, with largely varied diets including both
plants and animals.

With the exceptions of courting individuals and mothers with
their young, bears are typically solitary animals. They are
generally diurnal, but may be active during the night
(nocturnal) or twilight (crepuscular), particularly around
humans. Bears are aided by an excellent sense of smell, and
despite their heavy build and awkward gait, they can run
quickly and are adept climbers and swimmers. In autumn some
bear species forage large amounts of fermented fruits which
affects their behaviour.[1] Bears use shelters such as caves
and bur

Bears produce a variety of vocalizations such as:

* Moaning: produced mostly as mild warnings to potential
threats or in fear.
* Barking: produced during times of alarm, excitement or to
give away the animal's position.
* Huffing: made during courtship or between mother and cubs
to warn of danger.
* Growling: produced as strong warnings to potential threats
or in anger.
* Roaring: used much for the same reasons as growls and also
to proclaim territory and for intimidation.

"23 years, 10 albums. Almost a career, isn't it?

I don't really use the word career, I hear it used a lot and
I shrug when I hear it. The word career isn’t incompatible
with modern life. We’ve always had a long term plan with
Autechre, but we don’t really have any specific goals.

Though I think artists nowadays do see it as a career.
Especially due to the multi channel nature of it all.

FLAC is specifically designed for efficient packing of audio
data, unlike general purpose lossless algorithms such as
DEFLATE which is used in ZIP and gzip. While ZIP may
compress a CD-quality audio file by 10–20%, FLAC achieves
compression rates of 30–50% for most music, with
significantly greater compression for voice recordings.

FLAC uses linear prediction to convert the audio samples to
a series of small, uncorrelated numbers (known as the
residual), which are stored efficiently using Golomb-Rice
coding. It also uses run-length encoding for blocks of
identical samples, such as silent passages. The technical
strengths of FLAC compared to other lossless formats lie in
its ability to be streamed and decoded quickly, which is
independent of compression level.

Bears tend to have hairy bodies and facial hair; some are
heavy-set or muscular; some project an image of rugged
masculinity in their grooming and appearance, though none of
these are requirements or unique indicators. Some bears
place importance on presenting a hypermasculine image and
may shun interaction with, and even disdain, men who exhibit
effeminacy.[1] The bear concept
