LP5 is the well known title of nameless studio album by the British electronic group Autechre. It was released on 13 July 1998 on Warp.

Style
The album leaves stylistically the way full, warm sounds of albums like Tri Repetae for a simple, angular and technical style, which they began on the previous album Chiastic Slide ( 1997) and the Cichlisuite EP.

" Since the tracks are all from the same acoustic fabric woven, it is advisable to listen to the album and all in one piece, but the tracks " Acroyear2, " " Rae, "and" Fold4, Wrap5 " are the definite highlights. Although the album certainly not appeal to everyone, LP5 should be admired, as it is not anything beings or Gewesenen is comparable. Without a doubt a leader. "
