==== an heuristic path through Autechre ====
Autechre have created a unique and particular sonic universe, so it's hard to say what's best or most representative of their music, and you’ll probably get as many different answers as people you ask. so perhaps a suggested heuristic path…

[[https://autechre.bandcamp.com/album/confield|Confield]] is quite broad, try [[https://autechre.bandcamp.com/track/uviol|Uviol]] or [[https://autechre.bandcamp.com/track/lentic-catachresis|Lentic Catachresis]] or [[https://autechre.bandcamp.com/track/parhelic-triangle|Parhelic Triangle]]. from [[https://autechre.bandcamp.com/album/draft-730|Draft 7.30]] listen to [[https://autechre.bandcamp.com/track/xylin-room|Xylin Room]] or [[https://autechre.bandcamp.com/track/surripere|Surripere]] or [[https://autechre.bandcamp.com/track/iv-vv-iv-vv-viii|IV VV IV VV VIII]] or [[https://autechre.bandcamp.com/track/theme-of-sudden-roundabout|Theme Of Sudden Roundabout]]. from [[https://autechre.bandcamp.com/album/untilted|Untilted]] listen to [[https://autechre.bandcamp.com/track/sublimit|Sublimit]] or [[https://autechre.bandcamp.com/track/augmatic-disport|Augmatic Disport]]. from [[https://autechre.bandcamp.com/album/quaristice|Quaristice]] try [[https://autechre.bandcamp.com/track/io|IO]] (mons) or [[https://autechre.bandcamp.com/track/tankakern|Tankraken]].

(note this just covers their albums, so doesn't include the various EPs. you can think of the EPs from each period as similar, yet distinct. if you find any particular album interesting chances are you'll like the other material from around the same period. If however, you require "sounds wholly or predominantly characterised by the emission of a succession of repetitive beats" then no choice but [[https://autechre.bandcamp.com/album/anti|Anti EP]])
