AndreD.Mar 10, 2008The first listen was meh at best, but immediately afterwards on the second listen it soon becomes apparent that this may be one of the greatest albums they've ever released. Absolutely amazing.

SaltlickMcgeeMar 22, 2008I have found Autechre to be consistently fascinating, and this album is no different. I agree with that cokemachineglow guy that this is probably the best album they could have made at this point. It's actually very playful in a lot of spots. Nothing really feels rushed or cut off too soon, and nothing really drags too badly either. I already can't wait for the next one.

BobbyK.Mar 10, 2008Easily their most accessible release in years. A slight return to melody. Album must be listened to as a whole to be appreciated... playing on random is not an option. Gets better with each listen.

MatthewB.Mar 27, 2008The first time I listened to this I skimmed through the beginnings of a few tracks, and thought it wasn't anything special. However this album really only comes alive when you listen to it as a single and complete musical journey. It's their best album for many years.

Not since "LP5" has being impressed been so obviously secondary to enjoyment.

At times it feels like a lot is going on, others not so much. The pieces are all there, but it just doesn't add up to more than the sum of its parts.

Quaristice--the band’s 9th full length, with about as many EPs--is probably the best album Autechre could have created at this point in their career.
