 "Envane represents the most monotone episode within Autechre's rich production."

 "The final result is positive, essential for those who appreciated the 'twin' Chiastic Slide, but from an EP, more is always expected than four carbon copies."

Envane is Autechre's most monotone EP, focusing on a single idea across four tracks with hip-hop beats and glitch elements. While it offers a positive, essential listen for fans of Chiastic Slide, the repetitiveness makes it less dynamic than typical Autechre releases. Tracks like Draun Quarter stand out, but overall, the EP feels like variations on a single theme rather than a diverse exploration. Dive into the minimalist complexities of Autechre's Envane EP and experience its unique take on glitch-hop and IDM.

 "Tender verses and undecipherable grunts, processed, deformed, violated, that become cries of the demon, torments of pain, desperate screams."

 "The work done in terms of collage and production is monumental, worthy of the best Nurse With Wound."

 Their creation is no longer of this world. Absence of emotions, total asepticism, annihilation of feelings is what the two machines communicate now.

 Aseptic chaos, arhythmic, amelodic, more simply cynical. After all, they are machines.

The review portrays Autechre's Draft 7.30 as a masterwork of cold, machine-like music, where human emotion is replaced by robotic precision and digital chaos. The album features an intense blend of glitch, industrial dissonance, and complex rhythms that push the boundaries of electronic and experimental music. Despite its apparent emotional void, the album is celebrated for its evolution and technical mastery. The reviewer questions the nature of emotion in machine-driven art, leaving a haunting impression. Listen to Draft 7.30 now and experience the cutting edge of machine-driven electronic music.

 It is a sort of Bitches Brew updated to the ’90s, the sound undertaken by K. Martin & J. Broadrick during the first Techno Animal releases.

 Probably not the top of this great project, but still a must for those who loved the heavier derivations of the two.

Techno Animal's Re-Entry is a diverse, two-disc album blending dub, industrial, hip hop, and ambient sounds.

 "One of the most hallucinatory and metaphysical, as well as one of the most interesting of a period."

 "Rich manipulates the oscillators of modular synths, regurgitating pyrotechnic mechanical tinkling that emulate the sounds of ‘beasts.’"

Bestiary stands out in Robert Rich's discography as an experimental and metaphysical album focusing on synthetic textures rather than traditional organic or tribal elements. Although it starts somewhat meandering, it grows into a hypnotic and hallucinatory journey featuring modular synth manipulation and evocative electronic sound design. The album shines particularly on tracks like 'Premonition Of Circular Clouds,' showcasing Rich's mastery of both emotional depth and synthetic innovation. Overall, it remains a captivating, if somewhat niche, work within the 2000s ambient landscape. Dive into Robert Rich's Bestiary and experience a surreal journey through synthetic soundscapes and hypnotic ambient textures.

 "Garbage is far from representing a mere collection of scraps... quite the opposite!"

 If the Autechre you prefer are those with the human touch from the early Nineties, but you’ve worn out the first two albums... try rummaging through the garbage.

Autechre's 1995 Garbage EP serves as a deep, enigmatic companion to Amber, bridging the gap toward Tri Repetae. Far from a mere collection of scraps, its four long tracks showcase dark, dub-techno and ambient soundscapes rich in texture and emotion. Highlights include the 14-minute 'Garbagemx36' and the melodic ambient 'Vletrmx21.' This EP is essential for those who appreciate Autechre's human, early 90s touch. Dive into Autechre's Garbage EP and explore the dark, enigmatic depths of their early electronic mastery.

 All in full respect of a genuine simplicity, which does distance it from the more daring and anarchic third works of the genre, but never falls into methodicalness.
