Autechre Exai (WARP) Like a symphony made by victorious Terminators, Autechre have always managed to sound like brutally efficient machines. That their song titles are almost always gibberish — that is, gibberish written using the English alphabet — is one of many visual cues that, while aspects of their music may sound familiar, they are [...]
