Did anybody of you listened to this release?
I just came across of the review on the milk factory

"Bootleg initially appears like a manic depressive on the
upswing, the emotional equivalent of approaching the top of
a big dipper while suffering motion sickness and vertigo
simultaneously. As the album continues it begins to slow
down and focus more, the twists and turns occurring a little
less frequently. Second track Cocktails is a fine piece of
Farfisa mellowness thwacked with bent notes from what might
be a violin strung with steel strings. Scarlet begins like
an Italian spy thriller before taking a detour off the
strada to visit a fairground.

* Bootleg is like a portion of fat, tasty chips slapped into
a big white bap.
* Bootleg is the bastard offspring of Carl Stalling and a
benzedrine-addicted Autechre.
* Bootleg is like a wet weekend in 1950s Morecombe
brightened into day-glow colours by dropping a fantastic tab
of acid (temporally impossible, but what the heck).
* Bootleg is like the wall-mounted collages pieced together
from disparate detritus by British artist Tony Cragg, but
instead of confrontations between police and protesters they
illustrate karaoke-singing businessmen.

David Toop in his 2004 book Haunted Weather refers to a
generally unacknowledged parallel history of sonic
experimenters who worked in populist rather than avant-garde
spheres. He initiates this analysis with reference to Danish
wildlife recordist Carl Weismann. Weismann edited together
outtakes of dogs barking into a canine rendition of Jingle
Bells, which eventually and entirely unexpectedly reached
no.1 in the US 16 years later. Æ appear to follow in this
populist tradition by creating challenging musical collages
out of sonic detritus reminiscent of fairground rides,
distorting halls of mirrors and, perhaps most appropriately,
those humorous illustrations in which holes are cut for
people to stick their heads".

no it isn't autechre.

actually, there was a bit of a hullabaloo over the name AE.

autechre sued them for using that abreviation, or well, they
demanded they'd change it to something else or they'd sue
them.

I think they did change it, can't remember though.

there was a thread about this incident on the Planet Mu
phorum, with the man behind AE dropping in too.

I just had a look and it would seem AE are now called
accident & emergency (or a&e).

well if it was up to them,autechre would get shitload of
money for sueing.
it's silly to think that someone like ae didn't know of
autechre and their AE nick...
