Autechre
Digital Exclusive EP

Yet another project connected to "Quaristice", this time intended only for Japanese iTunes. Inside, we find two tracks already appeared on "Quaristice (Versions)": "IO (mons)" and "90101-51-4", both alternative versions of the originals from "Quaristice" (the blue one), which we have already discussed in more detail here (the gray one, effectively a different album).

The unreleased track is "Blyz Castl", which contrary to what one might think has very little to do with "bnc Castl" (also from "Quaristice"); it is not a very successful breakbeat experiment with vague references to certain late '80s hip hop productions - more precisely those frenetic and funky ones à la Public Enemy - and to what was released under the Gescom entity; there are also the usual soundscapes and rarefied drones in the background, providing the inevitable visionary touch, especially in the noisy ending.

It is certain that the "Quaristice" project unfolds and branches across about 40 tracks divided into different releases, but at least another unreleased track would have been preferable. Definitely a half disappointment for the Japanese fans, who usually get juicy bonus tracks exclusively for their market from Warp.
