Autechre / Saw You is the oldest known release from Autechre, created in 1990 as a two-track demo cassette single which was distributed to friends and labels which allowed them to get signed to Warp Records. [1] As of writing, it has yet to leak or be released in any capacity.

Tracks

Autechre

  • The track name came from typing "Au" (due to a 'au' type sample appearing in the track) and then keysmashing the rest until the Atari's 8 character limit was hit. The band themselves liked the name so much they later adopted it as their new pseudonym. [2][3]

Saw You

  • Sean confirmed that it was a house/techno track with long keys and the TX81Z saxophone sound. [4] "Saw You" appeared in the Sweatbox 1991 recording.
