Album Notes & Community Reviews

Spanning over two hours, 'Exai' is a monumental exploration of algorithmic sound design and complex rhythmic structures from electronic pioneers Autechre. The album features incredibly dense and evolving patterns that challenge the listener's perception of rhythm and melody. It is a cold, mechanical, and deeply futuristic work that showcases the duo's unparalleled technical mastery and commitment to abstract sonic exploration.
