Trivia
- One theory is that the catalogue numbers were chosen such that each digit adds up to 14 (3+2+9) to match SIGN being the 14th album.
- Much of SIGN was done via a ported version of their rig in Max for Ableton Live. [2]
- In an interview with the New York Times, Rob mentioned that the title SIGN is "an initialization, but we don't want to tell anybody what it stands for." [3]
- It should be noted that, in a first for Autechre, the CD versions for both SIGN and PLUS use different artworks. In SIGNs case the dark grey background has been replaced with a solid black one [4]
