Untilted is the eighth studio album by Autechre released on Warp Records. It was originally released on April 18th, 2005.

Tracks

LCC

Ipacial Section

  • The spring reverb on the track (example being around 4:25) is one from a Analogus Systems Eurorack module. [2] Likely the RS-310, but someone more knowledgable than me confirm whether it's that or the RS-650.

Pro Radii

  • "Pro Radii" appeared on the 2005-2007 live shows. (example)
  • The start of "Pro Radii" were done with Rob using his MPC for the beats, [3] and the end was done by "Sean", yielding 50/50 split in contributions. [4]

Augmatic Disport

Iera

  • In a Pitchfork interview, they mentioned that "Iera" was "grid programmed, all onscreen, just nudging MIDI events around" [5]

Fermium

  • Fermium is the 100th element on the periodic table, often abbreviated to Fm. [6]

The Trees

  • Rob answered a question regarding the origin of the noises at the end of "The Trees" by responding with "those noises are made from The Trees."[7]

Sublimit

  • The track samples Sparky Dee and the Playgirl's "The Battle" [8]
  • In a Pitchfork interview, they clarified that "Sublimit" was just "16-grid style" drum sequencing. [9]
  • At almost 16 minutes in length, “Sublimit” was the longest song Autechre had released at that point. “Drane2”, off LP5, technically surpassed it at over 21 minutes long, but only 9 minutes of the runtime is the actual song. “Sublimit” was eventually beaten by “Perlence subrange 6-36”, off Quaristice.Quadrange.ep.ae, which is nearly an hour long.

Trivia

  • In a Pitchfork interview, they mentioned that "there's no generative work or fader based MIDI stuff" on Untilted.[10]
  • 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. [11] Robert argued that his previous successful hoax of a fake Iraq beheading was part of the motivating factor for this. That version became so widespread that in an interview with Inthemix, Sean confirmed that it was both 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." [12]
  • 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)
