Every Autechre release I hear gets better and better. _Amber_ is beautiful, definately need to play it loudly and correctly imaged for the full effect. Someone said it was dull, I would have to disagree completely, it's not at all dull, subtle and beautiful. Smart. --,__ (mRay) z943159@corn.cso.niu.edu

I feel that I must disagree with you on that point. The whole album just seems to me to be a tad on the formulaic side. You know the kind of thing endless percussive noises relentlessly being layered on to each other. That said many of the tracks are pleasant enough but dissappointing after some of their previous output. Will the album version of Basscadet ever be bettered?? Some of the tracks I do quite like (Further, Teartear etc.) however often they don't last the duration on my stereo because they begin to grate. My advice would be to purchase 'Incunabula' less coherent as an album but containing much better individual tracks. Chris Hewson (cdh20@cam.ac.uk)

you know, that's how I felt on the first and second listen. But later while driving home from a rave, and still affected by some lsd I listened to it again whilst driving home. May I say that it was a whole different experience that brought out a different side to the LP. Its not wonderful straight or otherwise. Course, different strokes for different folks. --,__ (mRay) z943159@corn.cso.niu.edu
