## Appears on

### [Flutter](https://waxonia.com/track/autechre--flutter/)

*1994 · Warp · No. 2 in [IDM](https://waxonia.com/genre/idm/)*

Written so that no two bars repeat, in order to be legal under a British law that had just banned gatherings around repetitive beats. A protest record whose method became the duo's entire career.

### [Gantz Graf](https://waxonia.com/track/autechre--gantz-graf/)

*2002 · Warp · No. 6 in [IDM](https://waxonia.com/genre/idm/)*

Rhythm dissolved into texture and then reassembled, at a level of detail that only makes sense on headphones. The furthest this music travelled from the drum machine it started on.

### [Flutter](https://waxonia.com/track/autechre--flutter/)

*1994 · Warp · Picked by [1994](https://waxonia.com/theme/nineteen-ninety-four/)*

Written so that no two bars share a tempo, specifically to be legal under the Criminal Justice Bill's definition of repetitive beats. A protest record whose protest is encoded in the rhythm programming, and it opened a door the genre went through.

### [Flutter](https://waxonia.com/track/autechre--flutter/)

*1994 · Warp · Picked by [Warp](https://waxonia.com/theme/warp/)*

No two bars at the same tempo, written that way to be legal under the Criminal Justice Bill. A label with a hit single putting out a piece of legislative protest, which is the clearest evidence here that the A&R was not commercial.

### [Gantz Graf](https://waxonia.com/track/autechre--gantz-graf/)

*2002 · Warp · Picked by [Warp](https://waxonia.com/theme/warp/)*

The end point of the argument this list makes: music arranged past the point where a listener can hold the pattern, released by a label that began with a dance twelve-inch. Whether it is enjoyable is not the claim. That it was released is.
