Title:
Label:	NOTHING
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.50
Catalog #:	INTD 90258

The fifth album from Manchester's duo of Sean Booth and Rob Brown is Autechre's most detailed and insane collection of electronic specification. Number crunching at a new fully realized peak, sledding past the masses of insignificant humanity at an alarming rate. Some people have been waiting their entire life for just this album. Referred to as LP5 in the UK, America will have to just deal with Autechre. Exponentially the next step from Incunabula, Amber, Tri Repetae & and it's most significant forebearer, Chiastic Slide. One of the records that will define 1998. [now packaged in the US in a lame b&w generic sleeve by the laughable Nothing organization]

Title:	Peel Session
Label:	NOTHING

Price:	$8.50
Catalog #:	INTD 95039

As with most red-blooded facsimiles of human life, it's hard to fathom Autechre music being released on Trent Reznor's Nothing label. Even Cleopatra could conceivably be better. And it's not like it's even a penny cheaper than the Warp version. But I suppose the possibility exists that Trent himself laced up one of his leather boots while stepping on your copy of this release, so line up and take your chances. It will never taste the same again. This Peel Session features 3 previously unreleased tracks -- 25 minutes of music. Originally recorded on 10/13/95 on John Peel's UK Radio 1 show. Track list: "milk dx"/"inhake"/"drane".

Title:	Incunabula
Label:	WARP RECORDS (UK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$14.50
Catalog #:	WARP 017CD

New domestic mid-line reissue; previous US edition on TVT is now deleted. The debut full-length from the duo of Sean Booth and Rob Brown, originally issued in 1993 as one of the final installments in Warp's Artificial Intelligence series. 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.

Title:	Amber
Label:	WARP RECORDS (UK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$14.50
Catalog #:	WARP 025CD

New domestic mid-line reissue; previous U.S. edition on TVT is now deleted. Originally released in 1994. "Autechre's Rob Brown and Sean Booth have never exactly played safe. They began as electro-loving graffiti artists before progressing to the equally police-unfriendly world of pirate radio. Amber floats their '90s update of electro's cut-and-paste rhythms into the realm of the odd. It sounds like some kind of alien jazz record, and tracks like 'Foil' make even Aphex or ľ-ziq's abstract tones seem almost conventional. That's not to say Amber is goal-less experimentation. There's plenty of melody on board, it's just that it creeps up on you from behind, as on 'Montreal.' The boys know how to give you a good fright too. 'Yulquen' and 'Teartear' are object lessons in ominous, otherworldly techno. Which about sums up where Autechre are at -- out on the fringes, having a good rummage through the weird and the beautiful." --Mike Barnes, Select Magazine

Catalog #:	WARP 128CD

"It's been over a decade since the duo of Sean Booth and Rob Brown met one another and, over the course of five albums and numerous EPs under the Autechre name (say aw-TECH-er) and their alter-ego, Gescom (say GES-com), they have simply reshaped modern electronic music as we know it. There are so many landmark releases from them that there's literally not enough space on this page to do them all justice. Electro, techno, hip hop, ambient, modern classical, geometry, chaos theory... Autechre harness these constructs, push them beyond their breaking points and recombine them into glistening creations. it's easy to get lost in the perception of amorphous beauty in some of their pieces, but there's a meticulous precision to all their work that makes it all the more striking."

Title:	Untilted
Label:	WARP RECORDS (UK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$17.50
Catalog #:	WARP 180CD

"Avant-funk mischief makers Autechre return after a two year silence with their new salvo Untilted. A dense, polyrhythmic android dance of a record, Untilted is the sound of Autechre searching for the elusive ghosts in their drum machines. Beats rise from the ether only to be confronted by the static residue of otherworldy transmissions and the sounds of synthesizers being broken in a lonely, subterranean studioroom. The decomposed remains of hip-hop serve as the ultimate blueprint, but the corpse has degenerated into an almost unrecognizeable pile of flesh and bones, albeit one with it's heart faintly beating, pulse still strong. Posessed beatboxes lead the charge for an undead army of pop-locking zombies, hungry for flesh and a smooth spot for a wicked headspin. The sounds delight and menace, leaving one unsure whether or not something sinister lurks near, boastful in it's phantasmal b-boy stance."
