Yep, I love 'Inhake 2' -- the twiddly-drop melodies remind me of something from Richard Kirk's 'Virtual State'. My favourite track has got to be 'Drane' though. Simple percussion, making way for that lovely looped sample of what sounds like a Mellotron that disintegrates, shifts and phases all over the place as the track progresses. >(yes - 'Tri Repetae' is my favourite Ae LP) The good thing about Autechre's albums is that each has it owns unique feel which makes them tough to rank, but if push came to shove I'd have to say that 'Amber' is still my favourite. -- /\/)ark headspin - http://www.sonance.demon.co.uk/
