------------------------------------------------

Unlike the almost immediate eruption of Burned Mind, the characteristic building of tension and bone-shattering releases are prolonged, and when the climax arrives it does so with a crushing force that leaves you gasping for breath...

The second half of the album is introduced with the title track, erupting with high power sonic explosions and the chest-splitting roar of Nate Young, penetrating the dense, swirling clouds of noise.

Critics are never short of words with this band. On Human Animal, Plan B wrote "It flips the listner between immersion and alienation, frequently settling in an almost hypnogogic, lucid-dream state where it is no longer clear whether a sound comes from within or without", and their live shows have been described as a "orgiastic symphony of hypnotic build-up and cathartic discharge" (Pitchfork), not to mention the continued praise of the experimental purists at The Wire.

Autechre - Looking at select offers for late 2007

AEprofilepic.jpg

For more than a decade, Autechre have been applying sustained pressure to the walls of our imagination.

Their influence over the development of electronic music is comparible to few other artists. Effortlessly slipping through the seemingly impenetrable web of genrefication, there is still no single word to summarize their sound, begging more of the mind to convey the experience, and expanding the language of musical discussion in the process.

But this is no academic endeavor. Right now Autechre are leaving a blazing trail of RAVE around Europe....

There are just a few occasions to catch Autechre live in July, and they will be taking a few more select offers for November and December.

Here are the confirmations:

JULY
07 Spain @ Monegros Festival
13 Germany @ Melt Festival
14 Belgium @ Dour Festival

Send you mega-rave proposals with as much info as possible to ned[at]littlebig.org.uk.
