LP5, sometimes refered to as untitled, Autechre, or Album, is the fifth studio album by Autechre released on Warp Records. It was originally released on July 13th, 1998, then later repressed on vinyl in 2021, alongside Chiastic Slide.
History
The record initially had no title printed, consisting only of "Autechre" on the cover leading to speculation that it was either untilted or a self-titled record called Autechre.[1] Album was also a name seen on promotional copies.[2] However, after the release of EP7 in 1999, fans started retroactively calling it LP5. It has since gone on to become the de facto official title, with both Warp Records and the band themselves using it.
Some equipment used on LP5 include the Nord Lead 1, ASR-10 and DX100.[3]
While uncredited on the release, it was later confirmed in Warp20 that the album cover was made by Autechre themselves.[4]
Tracks
Acroyear2
- Some digital releases had the track renamed to "AcroyearII".
- Acroyear2 was named after the Micronauts toy. [5]
777
- The title bares resemblance to "444" from Incunabula.
- The track is heavily built around a 7-count time signature or 3.5 whole beats. Alexander Mesker annotated a transcript of the main recurring percussive structure where o is kick and i is snare. The first line indicates the pattern and other lines indicate the main beat count and the 7/8 groove for reference. [6]:
o.ooi.o...o...o.ooi.o...o... 1xxx2xxx3xxx4xxx5xxx6xxx7xxx 1...2...3...&.1...2...3...&.
Rae
- In an interview with nialler9, Sean mentioned that he wrote "Rae" after a hangover. [7]
Melve
Vose In
- Sound Edit 16 was used for the outro of "Vose In".[3]
Fold4,Wrap5
- "Fold4,Wrap5" employs a Risset rhythm which creates an illusion that the track perpetually slows down. In the track, this manifests as the tempo slowing down ever 2 bars to half its tempo, approximately 126 to 63 bpm. [8] Sean clarified that unlike the method whereby two tempos fade into one another, he just had the single tempo change and programmed on the subdivisions to achieve the illusion. He also notes that he came up with the idea on its own, not realising it was already a thing. [9]
Under BOAC
- For percussion, they recorded a pen being dragged down a radiator, which was then subsequently cut up using ReCycle, frequency-shifted, ring modulated and then connected via SCSI into the Ensonqi ASR-10 which handled a majority of the effects with a sample bank, compression and limiting. For the first chord synths it was possibly DX100, the second half's synths were Nord, bass was possibly Juno 106, and voice samples were ring modulated. The track was fully sequenced in Emagic Logic[10] and all mixed via a Tascam mixer onto DAT, with the voices through an audio channel and the rest being realtime.[11][12]
Corc
Caliper Remote
Arch Carrier
Drane2
- On CD and Digital releases of LP5, “Drane2” has a length of over 21 minutes, with approximately 12 minutes being complete silence, and the remaining minute and a half being discordant digital noises. The vinyl pressing does not contain the silence and discordant noises, and ended after the main track stopped.
- After creating “Drane” with the exponential delay speed-up, Aphex Twin responded with his own take with “Bucephalus Bouncing Ball”. Autechre responded to that with feeding percussion into that delay with "Drane2", completing the unofficial trilogy. Sean mention that Aphex Twin was planning to make another "bouncing ball revenge track" but it never got released.[13]
