Much of Autechre's music has a strong focus on complex rhythm and driving percussion, and more recently, on meticulous sequencing. Later work has been notably experimental and abstract, in contrast to the more club-friendly and conventional early 1990s releases.

Booth and Brown formed the group in 1987 while they were both living in Rochdale, United Kingdom. They began by making and trading electro and hip-hop mixtapes, but gradually collected some cheap equipment (most notably a Casio SK-1 Sampler) and moved on to their own compositions.

Wow, after years of listening to Aphex Twin and Boards of Canada, I finally listen Autechre for the first time ever. I should feel ashamed but I'm glad that I'm starting to like these guys instead of never listen to one song of theirs.

the high pitched synth coming in at 4:38 almost forcing itself into your ears like a tinnitus really reminds me of "halcyon" by orbital using a similiar effect.

One of the saddest electronic tracks I've ever heard. Starts so positive then turns, as if there is a loss. Genius from Autechre.

The fading chords in and out after~5mins or whatever, yeah sad. the song is like porous stone, nighttime moss with water droplets coming down. fog mist sweeps past occasionally.

Saw them live twice. Literally melted my face off. I was in shock afterwords no joke. My brain had to catch up with what had just happened. I still danced tho cuz I have no problem catching odd timed poly-rhythmic flows. It IS possible even tho most would think not. I swear almost everyone was just standing there, mind processor speeds were probably jusssst enough to keep up ahhahha. And what a beautiful sight that was seeing a HUGE room FILLED with Autechre fans. Damn! :O

susperdis

saw them in 2016. they played one danceable tune 30 minutes in, some power chords at 40m and the rest being unrhythmic noise only slightly above haswell's drunken granulizer shenanigans. wish i was there for the 2005 era

Autechre's Incunabula and Amber are the kind of music to play Half Life saga in a row and finish yourself minding we came from another dimension.

when he says 'warm bass' i think he's referring more to the comfort felt when the bass (not too heavy, not too light), kicks in around 3:32

it's not like its high pitched bass (does that even make sense?) but yeah if you cant hear the bass, then your headphones speakers are/were broken lol

Good question. I've often thought it was random spit-outs from a computer or the data of a broken laptop. I like it after all is said and done. It seems to match their tracks that have the broken rhythm. This track is a little more even-beated. Autechre rules!

@Kscorps2 i think this one stood the test of time better than the first which does sound a little dated in places.. still a great album though. chiastic slide and tri repeatae are equally amazing, though they seemed to suffer from a bit of plot loss after that, started making albums with a few hidden gems on them instead of the album itself being a hidden gem.
