Autechre – Anti EP

"Lost" is such a wonderful IDM / Electronica track with so much remembrances. Classic EP.

Flutter on 33rpm +8. That’s how I heard it first, can never go back!

Bought this EP on it's release. Always played flutter at 33rpm

Ae's fantastic contribution against the Criminal Justice Bill. We all thought the CJB will destroy Electronic Music and the Rave Scene in England ... Time tells better.

Flutter needs to be played at 33rpm in my personal opinion. My teutonic ears are vexed in such a pleasant and confusing way. Warm whirling insect like high percussion and unpredictable elephant kicks are such a joy at 33rpm with the oily constant pads in the background.

for me after 26 years after i bought this ep i now can say my taste of music was then a lot more experimental (or better) than it is now :s (am i getting old, or is it just that these releases are never ever gonna be out played)

i still love this classic

good production.

"Lost" is mad dark Autechre business, I played it loads "Djarum" is more hard techno
"Flutter" erratic whispering breaks, skipping about all over the place
Beats are arranged with no repetition in order to meet the regulations of a mental new law, this evil "puritan" law mean't no playback of repetitive beats. So Autechre had their breakbeat bleepy, acid techno origins fit perfectly into this scenario. This EP however, it's release actually did educate more people about the ruthless government bill than the mainstream media could cater.
Sheer quality of these earlier tracks

Electronic music has never been so political and politics never so musical again after this release.

A pretty essential release if you're a fan of Autechre's Amber album. The Anti EP contains 3 tracks that were created around the same time Amber was being recorded. Apparently this EP was created to basically spit in the faces of those who didn't agree with group gatherings where people listened to music with repetetive beats. Lost and Djarum (which by the way has a sound in it that closely resembles their song "Montreal" from the Amber album. This track could possibly be an inspiration for that track) contain the typical Autechre Repetetive beats, while Flutter is a more spaced out, ambient piece.
