Amber


back in stock at a cheaper price for its second fulllength record 'amber' autechre mines the techno ambient and house genres of music and emerge withthe finest record of the early part of its career largely structured on sweeping atmospherics courtesy of synthesizer naturally the tracks here are fleshed out with twittering electric squelches midtempo synthetic percussion and the extremely complex usage of echoes lest that doesn't soundvery interesting the music contained all of it is instrumental is of the kind that allows your mind to wander conjuring up its own images 'foil' suggests a sloweddown steamtrain entering an expanding station 'montreal' is a sixminute conversation between honeycovered metal crickets set to a midtempo dance beat 'slip' is a stately keyboarddriven affair that could be from an ultravox record except that it is underscored with a bubbling beat and electronically modified squeak toys a series of drips set the tempo for 'further' which eventually evolves over 10 minutes into something that recalls vangelis's score for blade runner complete with distant thunder and the brittle shimmering 'nil' evokes contradictory thoughts of huge empty spaces and warm enclosed brightly lit ones
