Unlike me to talk about anything thats upcoming, but excited that the Mancunian masters of machine code manipulaton (I know yr impressed) are about to release their tenth (count 'em) album for Warp. Entitled 'Oversteps', initial listens give me the impression that they've focussed more on rhythms that humans can follow. 'Accessible' is too easy a word, but the influence of hip-hop is ever more evident. I'll have an in-depth (as opposed to half-assed) review quite soon.

More information about the album (as well as the stunning artwork from the supposedly defunct The Designers Republic) and an upcoming tour can be seen at http://www.autechre.ws
