Amber is the second studio album by English electronic music duo Autechre, released on 7 November 1994 by Warp. It was the first Autechre album to be composed entirely of new material, as their debut album Incunabula (1993) was a compilation of older tracks.

Production and style[edit]

Autechre's classic third album from 1995, reissued for the first time in 15 years. Completing the triumvirate of early Autechre essentials, Tri Repetae was the duo’s cranky contribution to mid ‘90s electronic music, and, like its predecessors - Incunabula and Amber - a record that completely defines certain aspects of that era for many electronica nerds, us included. It’s possibly best.

As opposed to Incunabula, which was part of Warp's Artificial Intelligence series of albums and predominantly a compilation of older material,^[3][4]Amber was described by Autechre member Rob Brown as 'genuinely the first album we put out on Warp'.^[3] Designed by Ian Anderson of The Designers Republic, the cover art is a detail of a panoramic photograph of sandstone cliffs in Cappadocia, Turkey, taken by landscape photographer Nick Meers.^[5][6]

Select described the album as a '90s update of electro's cut-'n'-paste rhythmics into the realms of the odd,' and stated that Amber 'made music by μ-Ziq or Aphex Twin seem almost conventional.'^[7]CMJ described the sound of Amber as 'entirely electronic and entirely instrumental' outside a few vocal samples.^[8] In a 2013 retrospective feature, Fact described Amber as containing 'some of Autechre's most ambient moments,' and compared several songs ('Nine' and 'Yulquen') to the works of Brian Eno, saying that their 'beatless, but powerful low-end means that they’re contemplative rather than ethereal'.^[4]Fact also described songs such as 'Montreal' and 'Piezo' as uniquely-styled pieces with 'deep veins of techno and acid house'.^[4]

I'm more working off the fact that it was bundled with Tri-repetae to make and the fact that the songs sound like progressions towards the tri repetae sound (particularly the first two tracks) right, i'm pretty sure too i read somewhere too that they were outtakes from amber taken off due to their length.

Select's Gareth Grundy rated the album four out of five, describing Autechre as 'out on the fringes, having a good rummage for the weird and beautiful,' and stating that the album was not 'goalless experimentation. There's plenty of melody on board, it's just that it creeps up on you from behind.'^[7]CMJ writer Heidi MacDonald noted that Autechre's more rhythmic music, such as 'Glitch' and 'Piezo,' is 'almost hypnotically listenable' but that slower tracks were 'dangerously close to new age'.^[8] Ned Raggett of AllMusic gave the album a four-and-a-half star rating out of five, and compared the album to Incunabula, opining that 'a couple of tracks could be removed with no problem, while tracks like 'Montreal' and 'Slip' continue the basic Incunabula formula without noticeable change.'^[11] Raggett concluded that 'things are clearly starting to gel a little more here than on previous releases; the great leap forward becomes all the more logical in retrospect.'^[11]

In 2008, Rob Brown described listening to Incunabula and Amber again, and commented on 'how cheesy they were, and how contrasted our newer ideas are.'^[15] Brown clarified his statement in 2013, explaining that the comment 'was easily misinterpreted' and that he simply intended to say that the earlier albums 'were perhaps more simple [than their more recent work], but not in a shit way.'^[16]

In The New Rolling Stone Album Guide, critic Ben Sisario gave both Incunabula and Amber two and half stars out of five, describing them as 'smart if unexciting ambient watercolors' that 'give no indication of the innovations to follow'.^[14] Writing about Amber upon the occasion of the 2016 vinyl reissue, Pitchfork's Andy Beta stated that the melodies of 'Slip' had not aged well, and that parts of 'Glitch' and 'Piezo' were 'dulled and gentle in hindsight, knowing just what nasty and brutish sounds [Autechre] would soon wring out of their gear.'^[1] He concluded that 'What makes Amber fascinating to revisit decades on is to hear vestigial organs and sonic cul-de-sacs that Autechre would bin almost immediately after. ... prov[ing] that at one point the duo was human after all.'^[1] In 2017, Pitchfork ranked Amber at number 16 on its list of 'The 50 Best IDM Albums of All Time'.^[17]

Gli Autechre si sono imposti rapidamente fra i massimi protagonisti della nuova dance-music ambientale.

Autechre Tri Repetae Rar Download Mac

Sean Booth e Rob Brown, due disc jockey della scena techno di Manchester, sono fra i protagonisti del genere senza canto ispirato alla musica elettronica soffice ed eterea degli anni '70 che ha preso il sopravvento nei rave. Le loro composizioni non usano canto o strumenti convenzionali, ma collage di battiti e accordi. Gli Autechre esordirono con l'EP Lego Feet (1991 - Skam, 2012), ristampato vent'anni dopo in versione estesa di 70 minuti, e con l'EP Cavity Job (Hardcore, 1991), contenente Cavity Job e Accelera 1 & 2.

Autechre Tri Repetae Rar

I riferimenti di Incunabula (Warp, 1993) sono infatti i tardi Tangerine Dream e il Brian Eno dell'impressionismo synth-pop, quando non la musica classica indiana e l'hip hop. Il ritmo sudamericano e le metamorfosi robotiche del singolo Basscadet non cambiano un'equazione che e' fondamentalmente priva di variabili. In alternativa agli stili dominanti, tutti piu` o meno di stampo alieno-futurista, gli Autechre propongono un sound tenue e dimesso, organico invece che meccanico, plastico invece che monolitico, come annunciato fin dall'inizio con l'elettronica soffusa e le ritmiche suadenti di Kalpol Introl. E` un'ideologia che si sublima nel techno vellutato di Bike, in cui ogni vortice minimalista e` calibrato con manieristica precisione. Le cadenze mutano in continuazione, passando senza traumi dai balletti piu` effervescenti alle pause piu` austere. Cio` che conta e` la radiazione di sottofondo, quasi sempre fievole e talvolta impercettibile. 444 cambia un po' le regole del gioco, lasciando che il drone di fondo (un organo glaciale) si avviti alle evoluzioni sensuali di un sintetizzatore, proponendo cosi` una terza via alla trance che fonde la Music For Airports di Eno e la Rainbow In Curved Air di Terry Riley.
Il duo raramente tenta il gotico, anche se con una variante minima il suono diventa sinistro, come dimostrano i borboglii minacciosi e metronomie metalliche di Bronchus 2 e soprattutto le onde malinconiche e i poliritmi sincopati di Doctrine.
La loro prassi ha poco in comune con l'ambientale moderna. Semmai ricorda i primi incerti esperimenti della musica popolare elettronica. Il tempo lievemente jazzato, la melodia iterata e il cupo drone di sottofondo di Eggshell (forse il brano piu` accessibile ed elegante) riportano alla memoria la Tonto's Head Expanding Band. Altrettanto 'antiquata' e classica suona la mezza cantabilita` di Lowride, i suoi carillon metallici e le sue frenesie africane.
La musica sottomarina di Aut Riche rappresenta uno dei vertici di sofisticazione: una specie di coro gregoriano viene lasciato fluttuare fra le galassie mentre si sussegue una sequenza di assoli jazzati alle tastiere, ogni volta in un timbro diverso, e sempre un timbro un po' 'acido'. Il preziosismo in fatto di campionamenti, loop e droni trionfa invece in Windwind, forse il capolavoro tecnologico del disco, la cui complessita` interiore viene mimetizzata dietro una superficie levigatissima.
Il tono distaccato e nonchalant con cui il duo esegue le sue composizioni si insinua fra le maglie della psiche. Il duo e` soprattutto interessato alle qualita` tonali dei suoni, che vengono alterate in continuazione per creare un senso di stordimento, di crollo dell'orientamento, di mancanza di punti di riferimento. La loro e` musica per 'chill out room' piu` che per discoteche.
