I like play this at 45rpm with assimetric, break-dub techno, IDM records. Example for Brothomstates_Te Noch Rp...Killer, Highly recomended

If you like mid 90's Autechre, you'll surely enjoy this.
Somewhat reminescent of Tri Repetae (which came out the same year)in style and sound, but definitely a unique work on it's own. Too bad it's hasn't been re-pressed, as it was available only by direct mail order. Oh, well.

If possible, download the versions of this song recorded at
33 1/3 rpm. They really give you a different feel for the tracks.
Rated 5/5

I find "We R Are Why" to be one of the very best Autechre tracks - it's maybe the only track with a cheerful feel by them. The rhythm is smooth and doesn't become boring through whole 8:33. All sounds are distinct.

The second track is not that good, as for me. It has a darker feel, at least in its first half.
