This album is really great. I'd say it sounds *much* more like a downtempo Plaid. Beautiful melodies with the odd (well-placed) live instrument. The beats aren't too much like Autechre IMO, the emphasis is much more on the other elements in the track with the rhythms further back in the mix. Cross Plaid with Plone and you're pretty much there.
