Fun fact: they made this by running Korn acapellas through
Songsmith then into Manx MXP

i'm really surprised so many people like this better than
Quaristice.

It's just a regular MXP with the tail cut off.

Quaristice was way more Aphex Twin sounding in my opinion.
but I still likes.

"VLetrmx" the last song to genuinely creep me out. I hope
there is something like that feeling on Oversteps somewhere.

big up the cheesy synth riff at 49:45 minutes. i cringed at
first but it gets stuck in your head=]. . .

best ae since draft imo.

ya.

imo ilanders is a bit annoyingly bland…?
but all in all very soothing. dunno i can't keep track of
the track names yet, but especially the moody ~20 minutes or
so after Treale are fantastic.

fantastic.

agreed w/this

ilanders isn't bad it just sounds like 'so, standard
autechre procedure then', they've done tracks that are
similar in structure and texture in the past and probably
better. the only thing that makes it more interesting to me
is the sort of weirdly upbeat melodic part that comes in
around minute 2 or something, which nearly sounds like a
chorus line of all things and is kool for them. not a bad
track just a bit bland agred 100percent.

once track 3 hits the real personality of the album comes
through and it sounds a bit like plaid and the black dog
being fed through autechre or something. not that exactly
but sorta. whichfucking owns IMO

nobody else is disappointed that Autechre is now channeling
plaid and Arovane? 2 people that imo should be well behind
Ae in most ways

Points: 1448 Status: Regular



first of all plaid sounds absolutely nothing like arovane,
arovane wouldn't know how to write a modulating chord
structure if it were written out to him as an essay.

SECONdly, considering people used to say arovane ripped off
autechre in paritcular amber (which is mostly not even
accurate), then autechre can make pleasant sounding music if
they wanted to, arovane didnt invent this concept. it
sacrifices absolutely no qualities that make autechre good
in the first place.

besides i think the gross misconception of autechre being
futurist masters of all things technological is burned into
the heads of far too many people. so much of mid-to-late 90s
had this boundry pushing idealism and autechre were like the
poster boys for that. and i can guarantee you it was not
their intention.

i think sadist/qrdl/some other guy i forgot/ made some valid
points though without just complaining that autechre had
more obvious melody, the issue being whether or not that
melody is any good. personally i think it's perfect and
references all the right things, but this is wherepersonal
taste comes in. like a b1otch.

a cool album.

fair enough, i agree with that sentiment actually i just
think this album is very boring for an Autechre album
futuristic or not. I would rate it as probably their weakest
full length LP

The thing i have always liked about AE is their ability to
write really dark music but manage to make it non
threatening, this sort of music encurages us to work with
it; that's why when you first played Untilted it was a big
mess, after a while it fits together so satisfyingly .

However, I think what we are hearing in oversteps is a
personal insight of 2 creative minds communicating with
sound. I don't think they are trying to show off or push the
evelope, but I can't complain... if you really want to hear
something groundbreaking and you can't satify this by other
artists, then try to make it yourself!

I wonder if that black circle is a magnified 'full stop' ?

Sean said in that interview there is more stuff going to be
released. *crosses fingers for more beats*

there's a track or two which rusty sounds my ears dislike.
it's some kind of strange timber i've heard in quaristice
already, it's difficult to listen to. other moments are
killer instead. needs more listens in order to decide on the
purchase, i bought quaristice flac's blindly cos of the hype
and it didn't turn out a fav. maybe Oversteps could be a
'medium' in that sense. jesus christ i'm all wet

its a good cd for what it is, in some aspects.
some of the tracks sound like melodic idm from 2000 from
america, and other tracks are great.
its not the cd i wanted from them, but im glad they're doing
their thing.

this might be because lately ive been appreciating non
melodic percussive stuff even more than i did 5 years ago..

Hi guys! I also listened the new album of Autechre and I
discovered they stolen my sample (or is very very similar).

So you can listen our track "EOS" after the 4.50 on our
myspace. myspace.com/qualood is very funny.
