Autechre's debut album, Incunabula, was released in November 1993.
The reaction to Autechre's third album, released in the smoking vapour trail of Anvil Vapre, in October, was unanimously ecstatic.
Autechre's music has always been an attempt to give solid form to those most nebulous of thoughts that float through the deepest recesses of their psyches.

 Autechre - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Autechre have mentioned the use of algorithmic sequences in much of their more recent work, and many listeners hear clear patterns where others hear chaos.
Autechre have also used the Max programming language for some time in their music.
A signature of the Autechre sound is the use of extremely short snippets of sound to create a buzzing, percolating, grainy effect.

 The Wire #230. Autechre: The Futurologists.
Autechre's approach is strictly antithetical to most popular music, which is essentially either nostalgic (be it retro-derivative, mischievously postmortem or sentimentally redolent of bygone summers) or it's written with one eye on 'classic radio' posterity, overeager to familiarise itself with you, become the stuff of future revivals, flecked with associations and connotations.
Autechre are one of the few groups to have emerged from the Techno/dance world whose music approaches the experimental regions of musique concrete.
Autechre realised they were part of such a movement, making music aimed as much, if not more, at the head as at the limbs.

 Tiny Mix Tapes: Autechre
While I may consider this to be Autechre's coldest album, that still does not rule out the emotion within some of these songs.
The one big difference between this and most of Autechre's work is the added emphasis on the beats and noises than on the harmony and melodies they are known for.
There is a beautiful melody (one of Autechre's best ever) intertwined with a completely foreign yet organic sounding beat that carries the melody.

 Autechre
Autechre fans will generally tell you that the band's music can be broken down into two basic categories.
So, apparently, Autechre sucks now because their music is too alienating--as if people listen to a band like Autechre for the hooks.
In the end, Autechre's music is all about U-turns: taking music in one direction, and then twisting it in unexpected and unsettling ways.

 EvilSponge: Albums: Granz Graf by Autechre
That is to say, Autechre started off as kinda wierd, but since then mainstream music has embraced the glitchy beats they pioneered, so in order to stay relevant they are becoming even wierder.
If you are one of the billions of music consumers who do not really care to have their boundaries pushed, then you probably want to pass on this one.
This song is complex, but still has a playful element to it.

 Autechre
Autechre is, in short, The Beatles of IDM.
After all, it's not their music that is the problem--it's the bland imitations of their sound.
I wondered whether Autechre would alter their sound, push it in new directions, or if they would continue along the rather stark path that they've followed ever since lp5 (or the one most commonly called, simply, Autechre).

 Autechre - New Music - Peoplesound
On 18 April Autechre are to release their eighth studio album on WARP.
Those song titles, as with all Autechre designations, seem drawn from a vocabulary as rich, particular and abstruse as the music they frame.
The follow up to 2003’s critically lauded Draft 7.30, Autechre’s eighth full album is a dense yet elegantly expansive work that ripples with some of the duo’s key signatures: epileptic rhythmic counterpoints, complex, spiralling melodic cells, immense tectonic shifts in the low end, dagger sharp glacial crackles in the upper registers.

 Autechre at opensource encyclopedia
In response to inevitable comments about their unique sound, Autechre themselves argue that given the incredible range of tools available to modern composers, especially in the electronic field, it is incomprehensible that any band should "sound like" any other band.
With the release of their sixth album, Confield, there were some who suggested they had moved into the territory of generative music, but they strongly denied these allegations - see e.g.
They are also often referred to by the nickname ae.

 PIXELSURGEON Reviews Music Autechre
As with most of their output over the past 14 years it is a piece of work that is minimal yet complex and which requires many listens before you start to fully appreciate the fractured rhythms and subtle sounds swirling in and out of the mix.
Autechre follow no trends and make the sounds that they want to make.
Packaged in typically minimal and stylish Autechre and Warp fashion, you get the cover, the CD and the track details.

 Autechre: Confield (2001): Reviews
One of Autechre's and modern music's most ambitious and foward looking album.
One of the preeminent practitioners of the style of electronica labeled "Intelligent Dance Music," Autechre (consisting of Sean Booth and Rob Brown) returns with its first album in three years.
Confield, Autechre's sixth full-length and its best release since 1997's Chiastic Slide, may also be its most ambitious.

 Browse by Artist: AUTECHRE
Originally released in 1994, this is the first Autechre single released on Warp.
A dense, polyrhythmic android dance of a record, Untilted is the sound of Autechre searching for the elusive ghosts in their drum machines.
Autechre would follow this up with Amber, Tri Repetae, Chiastic Slide etc. -- a perfect progression of electronic sound imagery, from the ambient-scape, lushly atmospheric moodiness of the early works to the crunch-process specification that has become so insanely detailed on the later albums.

 Autechre
Autechre's hardware samplers include the likes of the Ensoniq ESR and EPS, Kurzweil K2500, Emu E-Synth, and Casio samplers like the FZ1, FZ10, SK1, SK5 and SK100.
Perhaps the most challenging and potentially controversial aspect of Autechre's music is their use of generative sequences.
The question is put to Sean Booth whether the absence of information on Autechre's output, and also their media-shyness, are attempts to get people to listen to their music, and stop them conceptualising about it.

 Amazon.com: Basscad (Basscadetmxs): Music: Autechre
One of the best Autechre's releases, this EP includes 5 remixes of 'Basscadet' track originally featured on 'Incunabula' album (which, in my opinion, is one of the all-time TOP3 ambient albums).
The remixers like Seefeel and Beaumont Hannant add extra textures to this already great song and somehow, which is not very common to remix albums, Basscadet gives a feeling that it consists of 5 totally different tracks, not of 5 remixes of 1 track.
Other reviewers seem not to think as highly of it, but I imagine it is because this is a more accessible album than most of their others, seeming in most places to favor harmonies and tunes over their usual skittering beats.

 Flak Magazine: Review of Autechre EP7, 00.00
On first listen, this record could give the impression that Autechre was turning into the techno version of math-rock (that undanceable, frequently atonal stuff that the kids in horn-rims seem to dig so much these days — Polvo, Slint, June of 44.).
Autechre's music is innovative and as instantly recognizable as any singer’s voice.
There didn’t appear, on first listen, to be as many nods to the classic electro-old-version-of-futurism sounds that make Autechre such an easy act to fall for.

 AUTECHRE Draft 7.30
Highly decontextualised, melodies play nevertheless an important role in the music of Autechre, conveying part of the emotional body of their work.
Too often held as cryptic and for initiated only, the music of Autechre remains largely confined to the boundaries of the electronic world, yet, Sean Booth and Rob Brown have gained widespread recognition through their organic live performances, progressive albums and more experimental EPs, taking their audience to uncharted territories.
Unlike most of their contemporaries who rely on pre-recorded sequences triggered from laptops, each one of Autechre’s largely improvised show is totally unique.

 Autechre: Untilted - PopMatters Music Review
Untilted is an excellent disc, unremarkable only in terms of the fact that Autechre have rarely released anything which falls short of their demanding standards.
There is no discernable difference between the music on this disc and the music on 2003's Draft 7.30 -- and while their sound has definitely evolved and advanced since their formative years in the post-acid days of Warp's ground-breaking Artificial Intelligence series, they seem to have achieved something of a plateau.
At the risk of seeming flip, I will venture to say that at this point you probably know where you stand on Autechre's newest album before you hear so much as a single beat.

 Autechre: Draft 7.30 (2003): Reviews
Most importantly, though, the duo has pulled away from the brink; no one ever doubted that Autechre was at the extreme of experimental techno for its own sake, but given a record like Draft 7.30, listeners might actually return for multiple listens.
Though it is at times a forbidding and daunting listen, piercing through the dense thicket of sounds reveals a wealth of melody and funk underlining Autechre's irregular electro rhythms.
The less enjoyable, the better you say it is? Well, if you are looking for fragments of melody & rhythm (remember those?) without losing the complex textures and landscapes, this album would be a better place to jump into latter-day Autechre.

Fade left in the conventional language of music there are few maps to guide the listener around the textural chasms and plateaux of a sound such as Autechre's.
While the process undoubtedly created some of 1996's most dazzling records, it threatened to push the content and representation of the music into a kind of playground humour, fart-gag aesthetic, culminating in Aphex Twin's farcical "drink milk from the milkman's wife's its" Benny Hill update on his "Girl/Boy" EP.

Though most of my first passes through the harsher end of the Autechre scale have been less than enthusiastic, the thing that’s always made me return is that I know I’ll be rewarded for my subsequent listens.
It’s the two closers, though, that show the band’s continued man-in-the-machine evolution is continuing at a slower pace than previous leaps made with LPs.
Starting off with the Ae-by-numbers beat pattern and building manufacturing atmospherics of “LCC,” the early part of the album could lead to quick conclusions of repetition.

This is music that would be appreciated in a half-empty, smoky room by the sort of bearded, socially deficient males who would nod their heads enthusiastically at the sound of a broken tractor.
Insert at this point in the review a long, beautifully detailed piece of conjecture as to why Autechre felt it necessary to give their album no title, or more specifically an ‘untitled’ status.
Just remember to call it by its proper title or the guy in the record shop will probably look at you all condescendingly and outwardly chastise you.

STEVE: I'd be excited to hear a remix of Coil by Autechre.
Through a dozen albums and Eps, Sean Booth and Rob Brown have created an intricately-knotted music out of alien synth lines, mashed Roland beats, crunched numbers, jeep bass, and system dirt.
In fact, Autechre fill their soundscapes with so much information that, as Eric Weisbard wryly observed, they "don't so much write songs as program ecosystems." But there's another quality, an obstinate emotionalism, that's hard to separate out.
