LP5

The track "Drane2" is a response to Aphex Twin's "Bucephalus Bouncing Ball", which, according to Sean Booth, is an answer to Autechre's earlier track "Drane":

"yeah we did the track drane, which had that exponential speeding-up delay thing happening, and then 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"{{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|access-date=10 November 2013}}

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":{{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}} synths used on the album include the Nord Lead 1, 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 16; finally, the complex rhythms of "Under BOAC" were programmed in Logic Pro rather than in 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". 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."{{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|date=24 January 2017|access-date=23 December 2017|page=5}}
