Description
2023 reissue, 2×12″ LP, Warp Records.
A new reissue run of Autechre’s best albums is underway, courtesy of Warp Records. The seventh LP Draft 7:30 is one of their many lesser-cited projects, but easily rivals many of the greats for all its ahead-of-its-time tinkerings and extra-human sonic abstractions. Highlights, for those not yet in the know, include the stop-start snares and machinic crunches of ‘IV VV IV VV VIII’ and the mood of psychic absentia conveyed by the rapid-delayed big beat breaks of ‘V-PROC’.
