'''''LP5''''' is the fifth [[studio album]] by English [[electronic music]] duo [[Autechre]].<ref>https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1XAizLmKun4yF6oBVUhIrewYN-ZiY_9ORckmT-hF93Ho/edit?gid=447739750#gid=447739750&range=D346</ref> It was released on 13 July 1998 on [[Warp (record label)|Warp]]. No title was printed anywhere within the artwork, so it became known as ''LP5''; it has also been called ''Autechre'', as well as ''Album'', as listed on promotional copies.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.discogs.com/Autechre-LP5/release/354772|title = Autechre – LP5 (1998, Vinyl)|publisher = [[Discogs]]}}</ref>

With the album, Autechre began abandoning the warm sounds of earlier albums like ''[[Amber (Autechre album)|Amber]]'' in favor of a fine-tuned, technical style they had begun exploring on ''[[Chiastic Slide]]'' and the ''[[Cichlisuite]]'' EP, while also incorporating influences from [[electroacoustic music]].

==Production==
The track "Drane2" is a response to [[Aphex Twin]]'s "[[Come to Daddy (song)#Track listing|Bucephalus Bouncing Ball]]", which, according to Sean Booth, is an answer to Autechre's earlier track "[[Peel Session (Autechre EP)|Drane]]":<blockquote>"yeah we did the track drane, which had that exponential speeding-up delay thing happening, and then [[Richard D. James (musician)|rich]] did that bouncing ball track, and we answered it with drane2 which was the same delay trick but feeding percussion into it instead, as a kind of tease"<ref>{{cite web|last=Booth|first=Sean|title=AAA – Ask Autechre Anything – Sean and Rob on WATMM! – Page 109|date=2 November 2013 |url=http://forum.watmm.com/topic/81109-aaa-ask-autechre-anything-sean-and-rob-on-watmm/?p=2087751|publisher=WATMM|accessdate=10 November 2013}}</ref></blockquote>

Several technical facts about the album's production are known from an AMA conducted in 2013 on the electronic music site "We Are The Music Makers":<ref>{{Cite web |title=Ask Autechre Anything (02-07/11/2013) |url=https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1XAizLmKun4yF6oBVUhIrewYN-ZiY_9ORckmT-hF93Ho/edit?usp=embed_facebook |access-date=2022-07-29 |website=Google Docs |language=en-US}}</ref> synths used on the album include the [[Nord Lead|Nord Lead 1]], [[Yamaha DX100 (synthesizer)|Yamaha DX100]], and [[Ensoniq ASR-10]]; the first half of "Vose In" was made using the Nord Lead's drum maps and its ending was programmed in [[SoundEdit|SoundEdit 16]]; finally, the complex rhythms of "Under BOAC" were programmed in [[Logic Pro]] rather than in [[Max (software)|Max]].

Greg Prato of [[AllMusic]] gave the album 4.5 out of 5 stars and said that "all the songs are cut from the same sonic cloth".<ref name="allmusic"/> ''[[Pitchfork (website)|Pitchfork]]'' listed ''LP5'' at number eight on its 2017 list of "The 50 Best IDM Albums of All Time", one of three Autechre albums to be included; reviewer Mark Richardson stated that the album effectively balances the accessibility of their earlier work with the more challenging material to come, and thus represents "a certain peak."<ref>{{cite web|author=''Pitchfork'' staff|url=https://pitchfork.com/features/lists-and-guides/10011-the-50-best-idm-albums-of-all-time/?page=5|title=The 50 Best IDM Albums of All Time|work=[[Pitchfork (website)|Pitchfork]]|date=24 January 2017|accessdate=23 December 2017|page=5}}</ref>
