Huh? No hip-hop vibe in Autechre? I listen to A LOT of hip-hop and the first
track from Envane was the first track I ever heard from Autechre. My first
impression was "Cool. It sounds like hip-hop."
Also, when I was trying to introduce some hip-hop headz to electronic music, I
played the first track from Envane, and I must admit that the "head nod factor"
was very high in the room. The beat on that track sounded like the boom-bap
they were accustomed to hearing, so they got into it right away. The same with
some of the Boards of Canada stuff.
I guess it all comes down to what you think hip-hop sounds like. If you think
Mase, Master P, and Silkk the Shocker is hip-hop, then I can understand why you
think Autechre doesn't have a hip-hop vibe ;-)

Simply what was in the player when I read your message about Envane. So I
took it out and tried listening to Envane again. Now while it may have a
few staples of hip hop (scratch and sample), it definately lacks the vibe.
Nope, no hip hop in Autechre there.
