autechre - amber

is it me or does this particular album seem heavily
influenced by aphex?! the track "foil" sounds like something
off of saw2 along with a few other songs. amber seems to be
more drum and bass like then thier other material, it also
seems to be influenced by ICBYD. anyone else agree?

oh yeah, on a different subject garbagemx36 is 14 mins of
pure bliss...

that is all.

Wasn't amber released before SAWII?

SAWII = 95
Amber = 94

I am not sure... I know incunabla is 92, but I don't have
the cases fro SAWII and Amber here, and am not too sure
about their release dates.

oh yeah, saw2 and amber where released the same year(94)...
they sound strikingly familiar though.

I thought Richard D James was more influenced by autechre
than the other way around.

I agree with Woofer, I've never thought those albums or
tracks were influenced by each other. Perhaps I'm not
listening close enough. In any case I'll keep my ears open!

i would have to say the piezo is my favorite track from
this album by far.
I love how it turns from evil to beatiful half way
through. Alot of Ae's songs do this

i agree, amber is a bit influenced by early aphex, but back
then everybody was, i think they cut the few similarities at
the time of trirepetae
woofer: piezo is my fav ae track!

very true...I kinda didn't rate early AE as there was a lot
of very similar stuff coming out at the same time...and they
didn't stand out at all...it was a fuitful time for this
kind of music but a lot of people were all influenced by the
same things at the same time, so a lot of those albums sound
somewhat similar...

it's really the aftermath of Raves/Acid in the UK...95-96-97
were strange years, thing were on a sort of comedown after
the initial rush of the late 80s/early90s...and when people
stopped feeling the need to constantly address the
dancefloor with every track that things became interesting
again...

later stuff where they really get that AE sound we know &
love...

I do hear some sort of proto-DnB in the ANTI EP tho...the
non-repetative beat one, Flutter...good use of a cutup
break..

A lot of the UK rave scene was based around spedup breaks
and that fed into the creation of Jungle/DnB as producers
got cleverer with their breaks...and often when influences
are similar, then dividing lines between these sub-genres do
become somewhat blurry...

incunabula '93
saw ii '94
amber '94
icbyd '95

I don't really see the resemblance. I'm actually listening
to it now and find it rather cold and mechanical. Incunabula
is definitely a warmer record. (These are the only 2 Ae
albums I have)
