Autechre, the pioneering British electronic duo of Sean Booth and Rob Brown, continues their illustrious catalogue of reissues with the long-awaited return of “Untilted” (originally released 2005) as a deluxe 2LP set via Warp Records. Out of print for more than 15 years, “Untilted” re-emerges as a crucial touchstone in the ever-unfolding journey of experimental electronica.
Marked by eight monumental tracks, “Untilted” found Autechre pushing their sound to its most uncompromising and abstract: twisting machine rhythms and synthetic textures into dense, labyrinthine forms. The record captures the duo in peak creative form, moving beyond traditional electronic frameworks and carving out a sonic language entirely their own—a place where fractured beats dissolve and coalesce, and fleeting layers of melody flicker beneath dramatic bursts of noise and percussive intricacy.
For listeners, “Untilted” is a demanding but deeply rewarding encounter. What at first seems disorienting reveals—over repeated immersion—a hidden architecture of order and beauty within the chaos, reaffirming Autechre’s position as visionaries at the cutting edge of electronic music. Including signature tracks like "LCC," "Pro Radii," and the epic closer "Sublimit," this album remains a landmark in their discography and an essential listen for fans of adventurous sound.
This 2LP reissue features black vinyl, printed inner sleeves, and a wide-spine outer sleeve. The release coincides with Autechre’s most extensive live tour to date, reaffirming their ongoing creative evolution—the duo most recently shared new material with their digital project “AE_2022–” in late 2024. “Untilted” joins the ranks of Autechre’s acclaimed reissued works, including classic albums like “Incunabula,” “Amber,” “Tri Repetae,” and more.
