As if one Autechre announcement wasn't enough of a suprise, we get another album within the space of a month. While 'sign' was a superb standalone album, it was a surprising twist in the story of this northern electronic powerhouse. the terse atmospheres and claustrophobic electronic air of previous lp's had become a mainstay in their sound, sign eschewed that to some degree with moments of levity and light. 'Plus' takes things right back to the Autechre we all know from yesteryear, with coarse electronic soundscapes and static percussion riding atop muddied seas of post-industrial noise and fractured, glitched dancefloor drive."
