For us here at Spectrum City this is perhaps the Sheffield duo's finest hour - and one of the finest Electronica/IDM releases of all time. LP5 represents that moment just before Autechre dropped off the grid of accessibility into a brave new world of sonic exploration.
For their fifth album Sean Booth and Rob Brown give us a strong hint of the arrhythmic and defiant experimentation yet to come whilst perfectly balancing the bass-heavy, 4/4 hip hop and electro inspired innovation prevalent on their first few releases, giving us the best of both worlds. Perfect.
