2010 AUTECHRE new album 'Oversteps'


Iconic electronic mavericks Autechre are set to return in 2010 with their new album 'Oversteps'.
Autechre are one of the most groundbreaking acts in British music. Fired up by the Acid House explosion Rob Brown and Sean Booth choose to ignore dancefloor possibilities and experiment with sound.
As a result Autechre's music sounds unlike anything around it. From their initial recordings to debut album 'Incunabula' and beyond the duo have spent the best part of twenty years crafting a unique back catalogue.
The Warp mainstays were an important part of the label's 20th anniversary celebrations last year. Having been signed with the imprint for the bulk of those two decades, Autechre were perfectly placed to pay tribute to Warp.
Playing a series of celebratory shows, Autechre have also been working on a new album. The follow up to 2008's dense work 'Quaristice' new album 'Oversteps' comes as Warp Records looks again to the future.
Available as a download, the new album will also be released on CD and lavish vinyl. The deluxe vinyl edition will include a specially designed sleeve, a massive double sided poster and more.
Little has been heard of the new album, with Autechre being typically cryptic with the release. However the duo have confirmed details of a lengthy European tour beginning with a show in Manchester's Pure venue on March 11th.
Stretching around Europe the new tour will finish in London on April 10th with the venue being kept strictly under wraps.
Autechre are set to release 'Oversteps' on March 22nd. Tracklisting is as follows:


 I've just finished listening to the 24 bit wav of Autechre's new album, and once again they have showed that there is still plenty of new ground to tread in music. How many autechre fans reside here at reddit? I've been a fan of Autechre since their 2001 release Confield, and in my opinion they remain as one of the freshest most original musical acts in decades.

While I agree that confield is a musical accomplishment - their follow up albums were all five star records, especially untilted and Quaristice+. You can buy the new album from bleep.com for like ten bucks, it's worth it. here is a song from the new album that bounces a pretty classic Autechre sound http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tTjV01A5JU4
