  1. By maintaining a ferocious appetite for streaming across territory few electronic musicians possess even a perception of, Autechre continue to test themselves and listeners alike with stunningly intricate results.
  2. Diehard fans needn't worry that Autechre have diluted themselves in that respect, for Oversteps is still a challenging listen, and one which reveals endless layers of new detail with each spin. But it's also their most instantly rewarding – and arguably best--album to date.
  3. Oversteps can trudge a bit--there's a ponderousness to some of the cuts that's borne of that most un-Autechreish of values, predictability. It takes a while for the exhilaration to kick in, but when it does, it's worth the wait
