Recorded on October 13, 1995.

With perhaps the highest profile of all artists currently tilling the soil of experimental techno, Rob Brown and Sean Booth can't even sneeze without provoking collectors' interest. These three tracks, recorded during a 1995 session with BBC Radio DJ John Peel, had been bartered, stolen, MP3-ed, and sold rampantly before Autechre's label relented and released them officially. As a wry acknowledgment of the session's eventful--if illegal--afterlife, the EP's minimal artwork resembles that of a CD-R. Why the fuss?

When these SESSIONS were recorded, Autechre was already a cornerstone of the 1993-1994 "Artificial Intelligence" school of armchair-listening techno. PEEL SESSIONS reveals imminent shifts in Autechre's musical direction and marks a critical point in the duo's fascinating evolution. "Milk DX" retains Autechre's signatures--ghostly melodies and chattering rhythms--but the programming witnesses a new degree of complexity. It's as though beats have been overwritten--repeatedly typed, partially erased, and retyped--foreshadowing the intricate metalwork of 1996's TRI REPETAE. Autechre's music was always a strange derivative/corruption of electro, and "Inhake 2" points explicitly towards the pronounced quasi-hiphop inclination of 1997's ENVANE and CHIASTIC SLIDE. Likewise, the layered, cyclical textures of "Drone" prefigure later albums' ambitious structural decompositions.
