"An EP to give more biographical relevance than anything else, and that would have been easily forgotten if instead of Autechre it had been any other English kid fiddling with vintage drum machines and samplers."
Cavity Job is Autechre's 1991 debut EP, notable more for rarity and historical value than musical innovation. The EP shows early breakbeat and techno influences but lacks the experimentation that defines their later work. Though aged poorly and considered unremarkable, it serves an important biographical purpose. Warp's re-release included edited tracks, disappointing some fans but allowing new listeners a glimpse of Autechre's roots. Explore the roots of Autechre’s electronic journey and hear their rare debut EP Cavity Job today.
'Total War' is the summation of Boyd Rice’s art, one of the most violent, visual, primitive, and instinctive musics ever conceived. Expecting anything else is useless, as for thirty years Boyd Rice has essentially been making no more and no less than the same piece. But he does it damn well.
