I'm sorry but I find major differences between Amber and the shit on AI I &
II. But, I just mark it up to differences in taste. If you're not very in
to Ae, you won't listen close enough to catch the differences. I love
their stuff and therefore catch things like the alternating reverb and not
reverb on the snare in Amber's track 10. Amber is way more intelligent
than the AI releases. Tri Repetae could almost be from another group
except Second Bad Vilbel follows the AI pattern with a brand new set of
sounds and non-drum percussion.
I mark it all up to taste.
