Man vs Machine, December 26, 1999 Reviewer: ringtail@hotmail.com (see more about me) from Knoxville
I have been listening the self-titled Autechre CD, and I think I've figured out what its about. "Autechre" (LP5) is the story of a scientist who was near-fatally wounded in an accident at a secret government lab. Because his intellect was so important to the project, they rebuilt him as a robocop-style cyborg, enhancing his brain with alien computer technology. At first, he thinks this is pretty cool, as he is now capable of doing millions of calculations per second in his head, perfoming amazing feats of logic and deduction. He revels in this newfound power, as is evident in the funky sound of the first couple tracks (1: "acroyear2" and others). However, he soon finds that he is losing his humanity. The computerized parts of his brain are overriding any irrational or emotional decision. The Machine is slowly taking over, and the harder he fights it the harder it fights back. This results in a near-complete split of his mind into Man and Machine. In a moment of clearity (8: "corc") he realizes that he must defeat the Machine or be lost forever. He turns himself inward (9: "caliper remote"), and attempts to subvert the Machine, hacking his own brain to regaining control of his mind. The Machine fights back with its driving, relentless logic (10: "arch carrier"), leading to the final, epic battle. War is waged within his psyche (11: "drane2") as Man fights Machine to the bitter end. The mechanical bouncing machine noises combat the desperate yet vivacious background rhythms (is that a banjo playing Detroit house?) as a lonely trumpet sounds. His fragile brain is devastated by the battle, but in the end he emerges triumphant - a Pyrrhic victory. But does he truly win? The final, reversed note makes us wonder. Are the electroblips of the "secret" track 10 minutes later the sound of his mechanical mind being reactivated, sans humanity, by government scientists?
