Quaristice

Quaristice is the ninth studio album by the British electronic music duo Autechre. Released through Warp Records, digital editions were initially released on 29 January 2008 while physical editions were made available on 3 March.

An experimental electronic album, Quaristice is made up of shorter three to four minute tracks and focuses more on melody than the duo's previous albums. It was mostly created from extended jam sessions before being cut down and further edited. Equipment used for Autechre's live sets as well as laptops were utilised heavily throughout the album's production.

The album's artwork was created by The Designers Republic, ten years after their last collaboration with Autechre. A limited deluxe CD edition of the album with a steel cover was released, containing a second disc with a variety of alternate versions of tracks, titled Quaristice (Versions). Later, thirteen digital-only extended mixes of songs from Quaristice were made available as Quaristice.Quadrange.ep.ae.

Generally, Quaristice received positive reviews from critics. Many noted its more accessible nature and replayability, and appreciated the variety of ideas presented throughout the album. Some felt more negatively towards the album, noting that it lacked structure and progression.
