Autechre - Envane

Review by Jose Cerrillo

Envane, the 1997 album by British electronic duo Autechre, is an experimental masterpiece that defies genre categorization. The album features six tracks that showcase Autechre's unique blend of glitchy rhythms, atmospheric soundscapes, and intricate percussion.

The opening track, "Goz Quarter," sets the tone with its pulsating beats and eerie synth melodies, while "Latent Quarter" features a more subdued, ambient sound with subtle textures and glitchy glitches. "Laughing Quarter" is a standout track with its frenetic rhythms and disorienting time signatures, while "Draun Quarter" is a hypnotic journey through glitchy soundscapes and distorted beats.
