Reviews & Discussion:

In my not so humble opinion, this album severely disappoints when you compare it to their older work. Too many guitars, too many playful silly loops, and a general flat sounding and repetitive production. Where is the trademark nostalgic and slightly disturbing BoC mood? Sadly only on 'Oscar see through red eye', which is (because of its mood?) such an incredibly beautiful tune it sticks out immediately. It might as well have been a lost track from the geogaddi era.

It hurts to write this, being a massive fan, but this is their least challenging and least gratifying album to date.
Autechre have created an ambient masterpiece with this mindblowing remix.

At 12 minutes long, this track takes you on a melancholic journey of mesmerizing atmosphere, haunting vocal samples and sounds that seem to consist of frequencies from another realm.

Of course, we know Autechre for their beats, and they have subtly included what sounds to me like a pulsing heartbeat, bringing the track to life before it inevitably dies, leaving you with a feeling of sadness and wonder.

This is for me Autechre's best remix ever, if not the best thing they have ever done. A carefully crafted musical trip into pure emotion in sound.



this is a great cd with a lot of varied styles. perfectly mixed. very danceable and listenable. i love it
