This is my favorite album of autechre,in my opinion,it has the soul and the freshness of "amber" or "cichlisuite" and the abstraction of their last works.LP5 (always in my opinion) is the culmination of autechre music,with a dose of sensibility and perfection in composition and abstraction.

For someone who has never heard such music, Autechre's LP5 sounds somewhat cacophonous from the first couple of plays, but I found my ears tuning into the subtle rhythms, harmonies, and melodies (yes, they do exist!) the different tracks provide. For those of you who are more used to traditional structures in music, stick to "Rae," "Corc," and "Arch Carrier." However, I was very much drawn in by "Fold4,Wrap5" which sounds as if the time measures melt into each other, making it hard to determine whether the music is going faster or slower (very trippy). After a few plays, I found that I also liked "Acroyear2" with its weird progression of percussive sounds adding up to complex harmonies and melodies. Well, enjoy!
contains deep and moving pieces of robot culture. LP5 contains more characteristic beauty of Rob Brown and Shawn Booth's machine-esque minds. these tracks develop and decay in such incredulous fashion. this album will keep you studying timelessly to discover the many hidden truths of the machine world. notable tracks include rae, fold4, wrap5, and caliper remote.
