i have just being reading over some old posts and seem to have noticed that a lot of people say that Amber is their favourite Autechre album. What am i missing about it? i personally find it the most boring AE album and possibly one of the most boring albums in my whole cd collection. I love Ae but feel that they were very lazy with that album in that it is very monotonous and the beats just aren't very interesting. Basically, I was just wondering what it is that other people find special in it. |

I am of the opinion that the people who love Amber are those that like their electronica IDM or whateverthefuck soothing and relaxing. For a soothing, relaxing almost ambient album Amber sure is interesting. In fact, I've never heard anything that sounds quite like it. Don't get me wrong I know what you're saying my favourite Ae is EP7. |

never thought of that, as obvious as it seems. I'd personally prefer incunabula or SAW2 if i wanted something relaxing. Different strokes for different folks i guess. I think there's a thin line between soothing and boring, i guess Amber crosses it for me. |

I like Amber well, it's good and relaxing, but I also find it to be the most boring of the AE releases I own. It's good for what it is, but I don't really listen to it much. I still lean towards tri-repetae as the best. |

Incunabula is by far my favourite. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Amber is great... but Incunabla is better. And BOTH of them are better than Gantz Graf. I really like their early, cleaner style. |
||||||||

i consider Ae too be my favorite act in music, i find the older Ae's stuff gets the less i like it... the newer it is the more i like it... i started listening too Autechre via Confield and went backwards... maybe im just crazy. |
||||||||
|

|
It's just the Autechre album that most pleases my ear. I don't find it boring at all, quite the contrary really. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Gantz Graf is ok... but i would,nt put it over confield... the track 'Dial' brought Gantz Graf down for me... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"Dial" is my favorite track on it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think people like amber because it's mellow and controlled - opposite to gantz graf incunabula because it's probably their most scifi'ish work |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
its hard to appreciate gantz graf when you're comparing it to.. err.. anything else. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i love how dial and cap i.v. flow together on gantz graf... very beautiful. |
||||||||
|
|

|
I love Amber... only listened to it a few times, but it's very nice... I like it better then Incunabula, even though Incunabula is good... |
||||||||

Amber is such a great album, definitely one of my favorites. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
its not lazy at all man, its soo soothing and well put together. its extreemly interesting. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
amber is one of their best album imo, its class |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i like incunabula more as amber. Both are relaxing, but amber is more calmly,flowing, THE perfect ambient album |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
amber got me autechred. it's not my fav album anymore, but i still appreciate it, especially the last few tracks. btw, i don't find sawii at all relaxing |
||||||||
|

I'm listening to Foil LOUD! I wish I could read my neighbors' thoughts. The phasing at the beginning is awesome at loud levels. -P |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
amber is a lovely album. it is great as an ambient, latenight thing, but i much more prefer their latest stuff for a good, concentrated listen. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
amber is the only ae records that it's close to being liked by me |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
amber is great... i don't find it boring at all; ep7 is more boring imo, when you're not in the right mood! some tracks (especially 'nil') sound quite like plaid to me, but that's not a bad thing... my fav. track must be 'further'... pure cold and iced beauty. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
not my favourite..and neither is Incunabulabaloolooo... |
||||||||
|
|

|
|

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
it was my second ae purchase and my fave for a long time. i hadn't listened to amber for a good time til i heard glitch again when i got the coachella 99 mp3s. i must say, it was good listening to the album again. there are awesome songs on it the last track will always be one of my faves |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
amber is very good, but my fav. is the cichlisuite ep |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i still havent heard amber but i will buy all autechre albums anyways. I have a feeling i wont like inunabula much though but oh well. |
||||||||

Amber isn't one of my favourite Autechre albums, but it is really good. I think it's the PERFECT morning album. I'll tell you what _I_ don't get, and that's how popular Tri Repetae is. Maybe it was revolutionary at the time or something [I dunno, I wasn't into this sort of thing at the time], but now it sounds soo old, like the music on WipEout 2097. Sounded great at the time, sounds like 1995 now. Confield's the greatest though! |
||||||||

I love 1995ish electronic music forever! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
1995 = too old? ugh. °_° |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
1995 is too old so long as it's 1996 or after. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think amber is my least listened to ae release... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Amber is boring. TriRepetae owns all! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
amber is the logical step between incunabula and tri rep. it's my least favorite ae album, but as any ae material, it's still top stuff. amber is great for listening when youre walking outside in the snow. |

AMBER is fucking awesome!!! I just started listening to Ae, and although I've only heard Incunabula, Amber, and half of Tri-Repetae, I deeply respect Amber's mellowness with songs like "Slip", "Piezo", "Yulquen", and "Nil". Just listening to those songs at full volume with the headphones on produces a feeling no other album can. Then "Teartear" wraps it all up in an ambient blanket and stomps the life out of it.....thrusting a dagger of anxiety straight into your heart. Incunabula comes close....... |
