I must say the track "Slip" on Amber is one of my favorite
Autechre tracks ever. However, it's hard to pinpoint Amber as my favorite
work overall, since each Autechre work is so completely different. I

Yeah, what's the deal with the Gescom EP on Clear. I'm still
missing that one and I'm hoping it'll get reissued as the Plaid EP on
