Move of Ten

Released in 2010 as a companion piece to the full-length album Oversteps, Move of Ten is a ten-track collection that many critics and fans consider an LP in all but name. While Oversteps explored a more 'human' and melodic side of the Autechre sound, Move of Ten serves as its aggressive, rhythm-focused antithesis. The album marks a return to the intricate, glitch-heavy percussion that defined their mid-career work, but filtered through the advanced algorithmic processes they developed in the late 2000s. Recorded during the same sessions as its predecessor, it showcases the duo's ability to bifurcate their creative output into distinct sonic identities. The artwork, provided by longtime collaborators The Designers Republic, mirrors the music's geometric and clinical nature. Critically, it was praised for its 'forceful' nature and its successful synthesis of their experimental tendencies with a renewed focus on the 'beat,' making it one of their most accessible yet challenging releases of the decade.
