"Tttrial and Eror" should appeal to most fans of "Chiastic Slide" era Autechre. Fractured, punchy beats mingle with wistful synth-strings and stray samples of children's voices before bending to the breeze of a lone saxophone on "Pressure". It's a stirring piece of music, not to be outdone by "Nato"'s galloping bass kicks and diced melodic detritus. These are easily the most impressive tracks on Apparat's second album, but nothing really disappoints. All in all, it's a very listenable foray into IDM territory, avoiding the harsh and austere textures that have become so common within the genre.

Why is this such a slept-on record? Truly amazing. Short - only thirty minutes - but brilliant. If Autechre's new style disappoints you, Apparat is what you're looking for. The highlight is definitely "Pressure," featuring some of the most beautiful saxophone I've heard in a long time.
