^ ack, should be on 'amber' thread.

Yeah, this is all about "Lost" vs "Flutter". In truth, I don't think this EP has aged all that well. What they were striving for with "Lost" was perfected on later releases like "Anvil Vapre". "Djarum" was always a bit ho-hum and "Flutter"'s impact is lessened now that we're 15 years removed from Criminal Justice Act -- it just seems like an odd-sounding curiosity now, albeit one with some pretty mad (non-repetitive) beats.

^^agree about lost. did flutter have any impact at the time? on individuals or otherwise? i give it an extra point for trying anyway. the drums still sound great and i wish they did more in that vein. also has one of their classic extended beatless fadeouts. voting for that

Ditto. I wish Autechre did more stuff along the lines of either "Lost" or "Flutter" or the stuff on Garbage (which I think is aesthetically closer to Anti than Anvil Vapre, e.g. cavernous/mountainous ambient vs., I dunno, industrial proto-glitch).

I've always loved Flutter, but when I dug it out again for this poll I was surprised by how much I liked Djarum, which I'd never really paid any attention to before. So I'm going to be its single vote, I reckon.

"flutter" is just astonishing

kinda love how the "non repetitive beat" thing became this sort of protest gimmick, and not the sort of track that Autechre probably was gonna make anyway :)

i mean correct me if i'm wrong but at the time (anti came out before amber) it wasn't yet necessarily "what they were going to make anyway"
