This will be my last post on the subject; someone else can defend Amber
from now on. Autechre's strongest melodies and sublest textures are
Amber. Nothing else they've done comes close. There is nothing hurried
and nothing out of place on the whole record. It's one of the handful of
real IDM masterpieces. It does require very careful listening.
Couldn't agree with you more. The things is I did not 'get' Amber,
although I bought it when it came out, until after I got Tri... It was
then that I saw Ae's big picture. Some of the most beautiful IDM I have
heard is on Amber. For anyone who does not like Amber as much as
Incanubula, I suggest listening to the Ae discography in chronological
order, especially the EP's to understand their sound's maturation. BTW
this is a must if you are to tackle ther extremely cerabral Chiastic
Slide....
