About Draft 7.30
Amazon.com The fertile sonic imagination of Autechre wanders through the digital wilderness on Draft 7.30, burying understated melodies with dense noise from the avant-garde fringe. Since their more mainstream dance beginnings, Autechres Rob Brown and Sean Booth have operated in the same non-rhythmic, wired turf occupied by Oval, Plaid, and other experimental techno artists. But theyve always retained an echo of their earlier accessibility, using recurring themes that give their music a Boards of Canada-like elegance. On the other hand, recent work like 2001s Confield has involved a more cerebral mix of order and chaos that lacks such carbon-based ballast. Draft 7.30 goes even further off into the land of 1s and 0s, manipulating theories and formulas with a fascination usually reserved for higher math classes. Your ability to listen and enjoy will depend on your tolerance for difficult concepts and willingness to embrace chaos. --Matthew Cooke Review (Warp) Autechre s duo status is apt, as producers Sean Booth and Rob Brown s abraded compositions gestate and alternate between antitheses, generating evenly split opinions. With Draft 7.30, Autechre s seventh LP, Booth and Brown settle on neither ideal, though they play both against the middle. Opening with hollowed jungle drums and cracked-leather creak, unsteady as if momentarily dazed by glint through damp tropical canopy or the porthole of a sweltering galley, they plod into the equally wafting "IV VV IV VV VIII." "6ie.cr" welcomes the chunky crunch of rotted robo-funk (revisited on "V-Proc") before "Tapr" descends into the off-kilter obtuseness of their last outing, Confield, sounds swelling, contorting and flailing. Draft s second half will hold more sway over those pining for the minor-key melodiousness of works through Tri Repetae++, summing up these DSP surgeons whose swarming nano-bots question whether to rend or repair.
