Autechre Artist Snapshot:

British electronica duo Autechre (Sean Booth and Rob Brown) grew up with the sounds of hip-hop and electro in the 1980s. Further inspired by the sounds coming out of Detroit in the early '90s, they turned out a unique UK variant on techno, more abstract and arty than their US counterparts. Over time, Autechre's sound moved further and further from their techno roots, embracing ambient music, dub, and the avant garde, always remaining squarely at the forefront of IDM ("intelligent dance music").

Title Note

For its second full-length record, AMBER, Autechre mines the techno, ambient, and house genres of music and emerge with the finest record of the early part of its career. Largely structured on sweeping atmospherics (courtesy of synthesizer, naturally), the tracks here are fleshed out with twittering electric squelches, mid-tempo synthetic percussion, and the extremely complex usage of echoes. Lest that doesn't sound very interesting, the music contained (all of it is instrumental) is of the kind that allows your mind to wander, conjuring up its own images. "Foil" suggests a slowed-down, steam train entering an expanding station. "Montreal" is a six-minute conversation between honey-covered metal crickets set to a mid-tempo dance beat. "Slip" is a stately keyboard-driven affair that could be from an Ultravox record, except that it is underscored with a bubbling beat and electronically modified squeak toys. A series of drips set the tempo for "Further," which eventually evolves, over 10 minutes, into something that recalls Vangelis's score for BLADE RUNNER, complete with distant thunder. And the brittle, shimmering "Nil" evokes contradictory thoughts of huge, empty spaces and warm, enclosed, brightly lit ones. As an added bonus, AMBER has really nice cover art.
