I think it does sound best if played VERY loud on a kind of
good soundsystem-thingy.

it bounces and skitters all over the room. FUN! :)

yeah, qrter.

the leaked copy sounds 180deg different in my car, compared
to shitty computer speakers, and even vs good cmoputer
speakers.

it's really crazy/weird.

wonder what the final version will be like.

milkfactory review 1

The title to Autechre’s eighth album could be the band’s
most obvious and bold statement yet. In the fourteen years
that separate the release of their very first single, Cavity
Job, to their latest opus, Sean Booth and Rob Brown have
remained totally impermeable to fashions and gimmicks,
influences and distractions. Their complex and impeccable
sonic world has remained totally unchallenged, untilted.
Except that statements of that sort are not Autechre’s
style. Sean Booth and Rob Brown are too busy constantly
pushing the boundaries of their body of work to brag, or
even simply point out the obvious. Their exploration of
sound is their statement, abstraction their mode of
expression.

Formed in the late eighties by Booth and Brown while the
pair lived in Rochdale, a suburb of Manchester and brought
together by a passion for hip-hop, street graffiti and
skate-boarding, they soon began experimenting, first with
tapes and turntables, then with computers and various
electronic devices before eventually creating their own
machines. Followed a first single, Cavity Job, for the
short-lived Hardcore Records in 1991, before they signed
with then burgeoning Warp Records. Fourteen years, eight
albums and numerous EPs later, Booth and Brown have become
the epitome of the Warp sound of the last fifteen years, and
are more than ever one of the most uncompromising acts
around.

milkfactory review 2

With Untilted, Autechre continue to push the boundaries of
their sonic experimentations forward as they assemble
forever more intricate and unusual beat structures and sonic
constructions, relentlessly pushing their audience into
darker, more remote corners. As on their previous two
records, Booth and Brown destructure melodic sequences and
beat patterns to the point where they appear totally
disassociated, pushing sombre waves in the background while
unpredictable percussive noises roll ahead. Yet, this album
features some of the more playful moments Autechre have
recorded in years. Whereas Confield and Draft 7.30 appeared
to some too hermetic and distant, as lost in clouds of
abstraction, Untilted unveils a series of varied soundscapes
draped around often prominent melodic structures. More
direct and upfront than its predecessors, this album is
built around a far wider sonic scope and varied sequences,
ranging from gritty moments (Augmatic Disport, The Trees) to
busy metallic structures (Ipacial Section) and
electro-magnetic interferences (Pro Radii, Fermium). Human
voices can be perceived in many places, be it twisted and
treated, as on the final segment of Ipacial Section, as the
beat slowly winds down, or on Pro Radii, where distinct
chopped up crowd noises can be heard amidst other sonic
shards.

With beats and melodies constantly mutating around various
themes and sometimes found echoing from one track to
another, Autechre create a particularly dense sonic mesh,
which contrasts greatly with the arid soil of Confield and,
to a lesser extent, Draft 7.30. This doesn’t however mark
a return to more commonly accepted forms of music for
Autechre; they have long since left these to less inspired
or adventurous musicians. Untilted is mysterious and
complex, yet sociable and playful. Untilted is, above all,
one of Autechre’s most perfect records to date.

4.9/5

the title is irrelevant. the milk factory review sounds
promising. luckily autechre are big enough for their music
to be released in shops over here, even if it takes a bit
longer to reach our shores.

the best way to enjoy Untilted is loud as Combo said.
However, I would say that it sounds better played with
another copy of Untilted at the same, where the second copy
has a 5 second delay. That sounds fucking sick, man.

Also, with Confield feeding into it sporadically every 15
seconds.

seriously, is this some huge and scary internet joke? since
when do people prefer files on a computer instead of actual
cds? i don't get this at all.

and it pisses me right off that people are reviewing this,
regardless of the fact if these shitty mp3s are 'real' or
not.

by some unfortunate random link clicking i ended up on the
bleep site where apparently the whole bastard was available
for 'preview'. Since when does preview mean 'listen to the
entire album, every track, full length'.

I'd only heard fermium from warp and intended to keep it
that way, but now it's all ruined.

i would much rather come to this conclusion after hearing it
on cd. i cant really explain why.

yes but we're in a different situation here in case you
