What is up with the opening silence on the first track from each album? Maybe its so you can have time to find a seat and don your phones before the album kicks in.

I reckon it's to simulate putting the needle on a record and waiting for it to get past the lead-in groove. also, on a lot of autechre tracks with very long fadeouts, you can keep increasing the volume to keep listening till the end.

I think it's simply because of timing - they decide when the track really begins. also, they'll have your undevided attention after a few seconds. or that's how it could work, at least.

More cohesive. The 'silence' isn't really silence, but very close to it. More smooth.

yeah, I think you're right. but that's not really the point though, I think.
it's more about the contrast of very low volume and the track bursting into full volume. or something.
..
time for some coffee, perhaps.

I was thinking in terms of texture and shape I guess, not contrast or dynamics.
