Au with Richard D. James (Aphex Twin) are the
reigning kings of the so-called IDM (Intelligent
Dance Music) scene. Autechre have released many
albums and EPs since their debut release in 1993.
Envane is the EP they released just prior to
their 97 album, and gives an indication of their
constantly evolving sound. It further explores
their fascinations with distortion and noise,
offbeat and mutating rhythms, sonic intricacies
and sense of melancholy melody. 'Goz Quarter' is
an insectoid, hiphop workout with spasmodic
sequences and lengthy swathes of resonant
scratching. The second half introduces reflective
strings and unstable, helical themes. 'Latent
Quarter' intercepts a corrupted, digital
broadcast. Cascading system failures are unable
to restore order to chaos. 'Laughing Quarter' is
an propulsive, mutative, liquid groove and the
track that would pass most convincingly on a
dancefloor. 'Draun Quarter' is the lengthiest
track here. A more pensive, disembodied
soundworld, heavy with regret and weary of life.
Clattering beats and dejected synths soldier on
through unsettling environs while cries for help :
are stifled mid-sentence unable to penetrate into
a brighter universe.
