Trivia

  • The album’s title could be a reference to LP5, by being a play on words of “Untitled”.
  • Around the time of the bfhmp3 leak for Untilted, a fake version of the record started circulating on file sharing services. The fake was created by Robert Martin of www.recordlabelrecord.org, using material from his album Lying On The Floor Mingling With God In A Tijuana Motel Room Next Door To A Veterinary Supply Store under the pseudonym Fluorescent Grey.[17] Robert argued that his previous successful hoax of a fake Iraq beheadinĺg was part of the motivating factor for this. That version became so widespread that in an interview with Inthemix, Sean confirmed that it was a fake, mentioning that "The more fakes the merrier, we’ve released fakes ourselves, but not this time." He also lamented over how Robert's "sense of priority is clearly fucked."[6]
  • Excluding the bonus track on the Japanese CD release, Untilted has the shortest tracklist of any Autechre album, at only eight songs.
  • There are 10 unused designs for Untilted, which can be found on an archive of Alex Rutterford's website.
  • Most song lyric database websites have incorrect lyrics for " Augmatic Disport".

Whoh oh, oh This disport is so augmatic

(AUGMATIC) It is like a kind of magic

(MAGIC) And baby when you dance

I can see a bowl of crisps in your eyes (EYES)
