EP7 isn't what you would call a conventional EP, considering it holds one hour of experimental techno, but Autechre isn't what you would call a conventional duo either. It's pretty insane as a listening experience, as these tracks are so wonderfully composed and articulated in that classic cold exterior the duo absolutely love. The only bad thing about it is that it doesn't flow all that well, feeling more like a collection of fantastic individual tracks than an album proper, something that has come to characterize Autechre's work. It strikes a wonderful balance between the atmospheric, synth-laden IDM of the past and the highly rhythmic, chittering insanity of the near future probably better than even LP5 did. In all honesty, I don't have the words to describe it in detail, so just read the review because it's really great and so is this EP and so is Autechre.
