pt2ph8 has become one of my very favorite pieces of music

 

Yeah, I think it's at least one of my favourite Autechre tracks.

the emotional subtlety of qplay is a peak in their career

The placement of synths and percussion in the 'space' of the track is just perfection. Listening to this album after all the washy in-your-face style of Exai and L-event is so damned refreshing.

I know I'm going to get trashed for this but I guess it's safe to say that Oversteps is the only release of theirs that hasn't grown on me over time and probably never will. I really do hate its guts and the cringeworthy baroque sound makes it almost unlistenable for me. The only track I really like is Yuop because it doesn't sound like the rest of the album. I wish I could understand what the majority of you guys see in it.

see on see followed by Treale

 

Having overdosed on Exai and L-Event, I decided to give this a listen for the first time in well over a year, and HOLY SHIT, I've always liked this album but giving it space has hugely raised my appreciation.

This has to be Autechre's most devastatingly beautiful and emotionally rich album. It's just gorgeous, deep and ethereal.

Though it's been great to experience the more forceful side of Autechre again with Exai, I really hope they at one point go back to exploring and expanding upon this softer, more contemplative side of their music. I don't think they get enough credit for how diverse they are.

I've had the same experience and agree with every word here.

Qplay in particular has been haunting me.

pt2ph8 is cool drink on a hot morning in a jungle

Made a major leap/step with this album today

This. See on See is where the album takes a turn for the good... it seems to get much better from this point on. os veix3 is epic as well. Had a nice listen driving up the country a few days back :D

hahahhaa oversteps gif + pretentious caption = tumblr gold

Fuck. It is so beautiful. Time will definitely put this one in the top 3 of Ae LPs.

After kind of wearing it out over the first 18 months then giving it a serious rest during the year of Exai. I started thinking that there is no way 0PN's R Plus Seven could exist without Oversteps existing.

He seems to have taken it as a major starting point, but in obtuse ways.

it makes me think/feel more like this:

qplay.

When I first listened to this Known(1) and Treale were what immediately grabbed me and I listened to.

I like the ambienter stuff a lot but Ilandes and St Epreo are two that I never skip. I don't see St Epreo mentioned much as being one of the better tracks on there.

st epreo sounds like a warped version of pir, there's something very touching going on here, at once very sombre and optimistic. One of Oversteps finest.

I listened to Oversteps today after a quite long time:

Yeah the mood has to be right for those twinkly tracks. It's great to hear Autechre venturing into this kind territory and being able to make it sound like it's something they've been doing forever. I find these tracks hit the spot perfect when I'm in the mood for classical music, late nite contemplative style listening. Known(1) is special. I often skip it. But once in a blue moon it just sounds fucking perfect.
