I know this will get a whole lotta haters..but I miss them they had some mad skills in remixing and reocnstructing other people's work...and I just groan when I hear Autechre this and Autechre that... I think along the line they produced a very solid soulful and funky body of work which had little or no resemblance to Autechre...
If I had given up on Autechre because I thought their first two albums were shit (which I still think they are...didnt really connect with them till Tri Repetae..) I would have deprived myself what I consider one of my all time favourites (yeah yeah I am still talking about Autechre)...
but look whats on offer now, what passes for creativity, Even Funkstorung's Acid Planet stuff can still hold its own to the new lot of Acid Washout...

the exclusive mix is pure savage - a must have for a fan.
an interesting track is their one from the mask100 - sounds definately like an autechre track. good that they managed to get their own style later

oh all this interest in Funkstorung..I am so happy..sob.. there is the whole Acid Planet range they did and then revisited but for me it was their curnching up and blitzing of pop and hip-hop that they started with
"Additional Productions" that made me sit up and take notice...true its also got its most Autechreish moments, but its already got the pop and funk that Autechre honestly never even aim for...see different headspaces already... and there is a warmth in sound and also outright blatant melodiousness...but ture dat...the track Henryk is my favourite and sounds like a cross between something off LP5 and Formula by Aphex...
"Appetite for Disctruction" More focus on damaged stuttering hip hop..their own sound is getting more defined....honestly the production on this album is phenomenal...even with all the glitching and crunching going on it sounds huge and live....
"Vice Versa"--A mix of Collaborations and Remixes...man on this they are so much into their own sound that...a lot of soul, jazz and funk...a lot more of the live sound...."I Want Some Fun"...with Jay Jay Johnson...is heartbreakingly sad and beautiful...they are more in Herbert Territory
"Disconnected" I am not even sure if this qualifies as IDM..all tracks are original..all features...vocals...some beautiful melodies harmonies and singing...live instrumentation..the glitch has definetly taken a backseat..a lot of people disliked this album...but its a real grower
