Anvil Vapre is the fourth EP by Autechre released on Warp Records. It was originally released on October 2nd, 1995.

History

All the tracks were individually made in a day. Sean described the gear used for the EP as mostly EPS utilising downsampling and filtering, Juno 106, DX100, MS-10, and 202.

Music Video

In a Metal Magazine interview, Autechre noted that Sean was the one to get Chris Cunningham onto Warp. Sean noted that while making Anvil Vapre, much of the designs made by Chris acted as inspiration for the music.

Tracks

Second Bad Vilbel

• The noise at the start of the track was created using a Korg MS-10 patch.
• Bad Vilbel refers to the German spa town. Sean notes that while he has never been to the particular town, he knows of it because "it's twinned with glossop which lies on the manchester end of the A57, or snake pass as it's known locally (the road that goes from manchester to sheffield)"

Second Scepe

• Second Scepe was featured in the video game Sleeping Dogs.
• The sample on "Second Scepe" is a voice, however Sean would not answer whose.

Trivia

• On the original double vinyl issue and on streaming services, the track titles "Second Scepe" and "Second Scout" have been swapped with each other. This is an error - the actual lengths for "Second Scepe" and "Second Scout" are 7:45 and 7:23 respectively.
