From a production standpoint, perhaps. But I never really thought of it having a retro sound to it specifically. Maybe that's just because Hello Everything and the Analord series seemed drastically more steeped in it by comparison, where you could hear on almost every level that the music was being made with simpler/aged equipment and recording techniques.

Yeah untilted felt very electronic in my opinion, but I guess it depends on what you deem retro or futuristic. Autechre have the drawback(?) that their music has constantly been the strongest contender for possible future music, their influences are nowhere near squarepusher's or aphex's retro territory.
