IF YOU MUST OWN ONE AUTECHRE RECORD, THIS IS IT. Preceded by Incunabula, the duo’s debut album which was curated as the seventh entry in Warp‘s influential Artificial Intelligence series alongside albums by Richard D. James, Speedy J, B12, The Black Dog and two eponymous compilations. The series was Warp’s grandiose attempt to re-contextualize “techno” as intelligent, chin-stroking music for armchairs, and Amber was a chance for Rob Brown & Sean Booth to make a statement free of the A.I. manifesto’s constraints. The resulting album is much warmer than Incunabula (just compare the two sleeves). The sinister atmosphere of “Foil” and “Silverside” foreshadow their later work while “Nine” & “Yulquen” are both warm and beatless in a way that is virtually absent from subsequent albums. “Slip” and “Glitch” are a perfect one-two punch of teched-out, ass-shaking bubblers that make strong candidates for the best two tracks in Autechre‘s vast catalog. Amber is a perfect point of entry for anyone new to the band overwhelmed by their huge discography. Double vinyl edition with gatefold sleeve and download code, recommended.
