Autechre - EPS 1991 – 2002 Album

Cichlisuite EPUntitled - 10minDoes this secret/hidden track exist ? Can't seem to find it!... It's not on the original EP.

Yes it exists. I ripped the entire cd as a single file (with abcde), and the hidden track is included in the result.

What’s remastered about it? I compared the original Anti EP to this, and it sounds much louder and more full in the original CD.

Re-mastered sounds just as good or even a little better in places with a more level sound to me!

Cool box, but there are couple problems:- no original artwork (additional booklet with album covers, liner notes etc would be helpful)- EP7 divided on two discs- Untitled track I can't even play on my CD player :(By the way it would be great idea to have another compilation with all non-album, rare, japanese edition only tracks.

First of all: i respect your opinion.I didn't like the artwork from the originals that much myself and what i like the most about this collectosbox is the sound to it. I never heard any of the originals but man, does these sound great !Geart remastering job i would say.

Yeah, they really seem to have skimped on this one.

I was considering getting this to replace all the individual disks I have and clear up some shelf space. But I can't get over the fact that they split EP7 over two disks. It is one of my favorite Autechre EPs. I always considered it to be more like an album, both regarding length and consistency. It deserves it's own disk.

The thing is. It was released in a split fashion at first anyway.

This would be nice released on vinyl although I already own the originals :)

i second that big time!! hope we see it on vinyl soon..ENB..//

There is a 9:58 long Untitled track to open Cichlisuite? Since when?

Did you find the hidden track ? I never !

it was a hidden track on EP7, so i guess it's a hidden track on that cd as well

So glad to finally own most of the Autechre EPs in one swoop. I really enjoy Autechre in the era between 95-99 (Tri Repetae to EP7) and this really heavily captures that period. Of the EPs, I only owned Peel Sessions 1+2 so to have everything else is great. If you are like me where you only own 1 or 2 eps - getting this is a no brainer.

For a band with 10 LPs out it's pretty easy to get lost in them and forget about the EPs. This stops that from happening and is a worth while release.

Wow, I don't understand the hate for this collection. I am a huge fan of Autechre and have been for years. I have a bunch of their full lengths on CD, but never got into their EPs besides Anvil/Garbage with Tri Repetae (I tend not to check out EPs in general). Anyway, this set is fucking amazing for someone like me, where I can quickly and easily get most of their EPs in one fell swoop (in typical AE minimal as hell packaging). This set goes for 25-30 USD on amazon which is a pretty damn good deal if you ask me. I understand that some people already have these EPs, but I'm going to go out on a limb here and suggest the insane notion that not every single fan of Autechre has the groups entire discog. Though now they can be much closer with this.

Aside all critique, this Box is a very good addition to the Autechre's discography. All Eps in one place. And design is minimal and cold, which mirrors the music perfectly. I wish the BoC would do the same thing with their Eps and old material.

Boards of Canada makes slightly less sense to me, because they only had about 5 EPs, they apparently don't want to put out any other old stuff, and there wouldn't be much point if it's not going to have the Peel Session version of Happy Cycling (or at least sort out the rights for XYZ).

hear, hear, armidge. spot on assessment. insult to injury: ordered my copy directly from Warp, and in the shuffle across the Atlantic the discs managed to split the seams of their cardboard jackets. *very* disappointing. hard to imagine such poor execution on Warp's part, but there it is. other than the packaging, the only real upgrade for existing fans would be the availability of Cavity Job, which really isn't anything to write home about anyway. sorry, Warp, but add it all up and one can't help entertain the thought "cash grab."

That sounds like a real bummer. Were you able to get a refund?

After the beautiful and exhaustive box with which Warp celebrated their first 20 years, I expected that this collection would be a stunning and fitting tribute to a group that was instrumental to Warp's early success, as well as a nice release for fans old and new. Instead, I was surprised at the apparent apathy and lack of thought that went into the planning and release of this Autechre box set. The omission of "We R Are Why" is completely shameful; there's simply no excuse for not having included it. "SpltRmx" likewise really should have been here - the argument that it is AE covering someone else's work and therefore not purely AE doesn't work for me. Another glaring error was not to have included the alternate version of Laughing Quarter from the Envane XAE version.But it's around disc 4 that things get really ridiculous. Having a hidden track before track 1 on the original EP7 was cool, in a way, but to do it again in this set instead of making it its own track relegates it to obscurity instead of really adding the track to Autechre's oeuvre. Add that to the fact that the track is now completely out of context being placed before the Cichlisuite EP and you get a track that is no more than an inside joke.When it comes to re-issuing previously released material, especially in a box set, more is more among music collectors. Not only was the content lacking, there is not one word of supporting liner notes which could have added an interesting historical perspective to the collection of such ground-breaking electronic music. Here's what would have made this a treasured release, IMO:- A good set of liner notes, which would have opened the door for some interesting artwork as well.- Master the hidden EP7 track as its own track and keep it grouped with EP7- Add a 6th disc to the collection to make room for the CHRONOLOGICAL interspersion of the missing BasscadEP mixes, the rare PIOBmx2, We R Are Why, Laughing Quarter (alternate version), and the Spltrmx EP.About the only good thing I can say about this set is that it takes up less combined space than all of the original EPs, which is pathetic for a release that had so much potential. Warp and Autechre, you blew it this time.

We R Are Why's absence might be a deal-breaker. You described this set's flaws very well. Maybe try reaching out to Warp to see if they can do another box set of EPs, this time including the missing ones (and maybe even the ones that have come out since 2002, including heretofore digital-only releases).

well While We R Are Why would've worked, I think Including the other tracks wouldn't have been as easy. Doing the Splitrmx EP would've might not worked due to licensing issues?also why include b-side tracks that had no relation to any EP whatsoeverAlso I read in the Ask Autechre Anything session, that they wanted to keep things pure Autechre with this box, hence why the outisde Basscadetmixes are not included and an inclusion of Splitrmx would've been unlikely anway.
