For those of you who, like myself, started to disbelieve that Autechre were ever going to produce a really cohesive album again, rest assured, the new one is if nothing (a pun), that! Very melodic, much more so than the last one. Tracks don't necessarily blend into each other, but they do "belong" where they are. I'm at 11 right now (2nd to last), and I love how it builds from a bouncing-ball type rhythmic structure into a blend of two rhythmic patterns. And the metallic sounds are incredibly crisp, one of the things I did like about prev album. p.s... new Meat Beat is on$ale at Other for $9.99! They do mailorder. See archives for store info. -- jr
