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 be leaked or 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.

Trivia

  • The Discogs listing created by user awkwardsilence, including the images, was confirmed to be real in the July Twitch AMA [6] however the original poster out of respect stated they aren't copying the tracks.
  • Both tracks were made in Daz Fitton’s studio above Dr Rock around 1989-1990 and recorded straight to cassette. [7][8]
  • The labels on the cassette was made by Sean with ink splatters.
  • A copy spread around Soulseek, and later uploaded on YouTube by hsfq, is fake - consisting of the tracks "Many" and "The Brink" from Freeform's Free EP (SKAM, 1995). [9]
