Frogtoon Music Album Info: Draft 7.30

The Fertile Sonic Imagination Of Autechre Wanders Through The Digital Wilderness On Draft 7.30 Burying Understated Melodies With Dense Noise From The Avant-Garde Fringe. Since Their More Mainstream Dance Beginnings Autechre’s Rob Brown And Sean Booth Have Operated In The Same Non-Rhythmic Wired Turf Occupied By Oval Plaid And Other Experimental Techno Artists. But They’ve Always Retained An Echo Of Their Earlier Accessibility Using Recurring Themes That Give Their Music A Boards Of Canada-Like Elegance. On The Other Hand Recent Work Like 2001’s Confield Has Involved A More Cerebral Mix Of Order And Chaos That Lacks Such Carbon-Based Ballast. Draft 7.30 Goes Even Further Off Into The Land Of 1s And 0s Manipulating Theories And Formulas With A Fascination Usually Reserved For Higher Math Classes. Your Ability To Listen And Enjoy Will Depend On Your Tolerance For Difficult Concepts And Willingness To Embrace Chaos. --Matthew Cooke
