Why do so many people disregard this album? I think it's absolutely beautiful. It was the first Autechre album I bought and my first impression was 'wow' :) Touching melodies with lovely ambience. At first I thought they were some german electro band. It gave me a great relaxed feeling which I get everytime I listen to it. Sure it doesn't have as much content as more recent autechre albums but it's still an incredibly lush album. This album holds a great sense of nostalgia which i feel everytime i hear it, almost like the first SAW album does. Without a doubt, timeless and classic. |

yep, this album certainly defined autechre for me |
||||||||
|

|
|
me too. i'm glad i heard it first. after hearing incunabula my friend went out and bought confied. big mistake. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
I certainly wouldn't say "timeless". |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i guess i'll have to wait and see. i've had it for about 3 years now and so far i still love it. |

"Why do so many people disregard this album?" I've been thinking the same thing for the last 10+ years. Pietro. |

Doctrine has the most addictive drums. I cannot help tapping out the snare and the bass at the beginning. Seriously, I do it constantly. |

It's by far my fave from them. |
||||||||
|

it's so hard to choose a favorite for me. mine use to be 'amber' but these days it's so hard to choose. each album is different from the other and is special in it's own way. i can definitely say amber, tri rep, lp5, chiastic slide and draft are up there. also want to apologise for starting yet another autechre thread :) |

I like this album the most of theirs, and since reading they ripped off some uncredited third party for it, understand why maybe it's so incongruously their best work. |
||||||||
|
|

|

it's wonderful for me ;) |

My favorite album by AE as well. It does make me wonder how much of an impact Darrell Fitton had in defining AE's early sound. If you were to compare their first release, which is the "Cavity Job EP" you'll see no real connection to their first three albums on Warp. I think Mr. Fitton had a pretty big hand in helping out Sean and Rob. |

Sorry, Revpersona is right where I just make rash statements, Darrell Fitton is credited as being co-producer. |

I sense some Beaumont Hannant in this album too, although you have absolutely right about Darrell. I bought this two weeks after I got Amber, around jan 95 I think, and at the time I preferred Amber over it. Over the years it has grown more and more, to the point where I prefer Incunabula. I love how naïve it sounds, compared to the more cynical Confields and Drafts, and opposed to many around here, I love Lowride. 444 has one of those spine chilling melodies which I never tire of. I'm glad that I got on the Ae train so early on, cause I don't know what I would think of this had I gotten on at the ep7 or Confield station. |

it my favourite autechre album, i always notice everyone talking bout the other albums and not giving this one as much respect as it deserves |
||||||||
|

Fitton did the mastering, as he has done on most Skam releases. |

444 is my fav autechre tune =) it seems endless but not boring at all. im surfing some delicious spot on the gower when this track plays aaaaah!! |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
I think its super nothingy |

he almost sounds like has found God. god_belch. |

this and amber and lp5 are collectively their best work in my opinion. it's an absolutely amazing piece of work, the production is incredible, especially considering the technology they were dealing with (compared to that of today) and their experience at the time. i can't understand why so many people literally dislike and disregard it.. because it doesn't give an earache after so many seconds if listened to too loud? :/ |

It's awesome and has my favorite gangbangin' pair kicking it off. I like the dated sound. Some of the tracks just don't click with me, whether it be because of boring melodies or vanilla sounds, but when it's on it's on. |

Great album........... and Darrell Fitton is Bola, no? Never knew he'd been involved....... eye opening for me...... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
i like the one that goes dur dur (pause) DUR DUR dur dur (pause) dur dur wee wee woo woo something like that. might be track 5. not sure. bought it when it first came out. when warp were producing good records. now they just produce shit. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah I remember something like "Bola teaching Autechre how to build substantial melodies". And substantial melodies Incunabula has. You just have to drill a bit deeper to find the hidden melodies. Incunabula: The first and last of its AE kind? |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
"Incunabula: The first and last of its AE kind?" Without a doubt. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
To me it is a classic. I can remember hearing it back when it came out and it just blew freshnes into what was a pretty static genre. Yeah, it sounds dated now, but summers past have this album as thier soundtrack adn for that I love this album still to this day. It;s dope. Lowride is now on my cans. Cheers. |

it's great. |
||||||||

Are you sure it was only the mastering? I haven't read one way or the other, but discogs has it listed that in the liner notes of Incunabula that Mr. Fitton is a co-producer. |
||||||||
|

I can honestly say that i really love pretty much all of ae's work up until lp5 which was the last thing they ever did that made sense to me. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
they are definitely '80 electrosynthpop |

eggshell goes dum, dum, dum dum, dum, dum dum weeeeooooowee |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i still get goosebumps when everything comes together at the end of eggshell. probably my favorite moment on the album. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
beautiful album, not my favourite cuz i love the 7th first albs ; but not the one i love the least |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i really don't care if it's dated or not. it was the first thing i heard by ae and it has some amazing melodies i haven't heard much of in their latter work (not that everything after incunabula sucked, far from it). |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i love Incunabula, but it probably is the Ae album i love the least. every album following it had much more of a consciousness than this album. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the melodies do sound bola influenced... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
eggshell is great but i don't think its as good as the egg. that was the first autechre track id ever heard and it blew me away, it was like something from a dream, i wondered if other people were hearing the same thing. thats the track i think of when i think of autechre and i don't think theyll ever top it IMO. |
||||||||

I don't know if there iss a song that i listen to more than 444. Fucking ace album, I would put this in my top 5 fav albums. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
i thought slip from amber was a real high point |
