Incunabula is the first studio album by Autechre released on Warp Records. It was originally released on November 29th, 1993, as part of the Artificial Intelligence series. It was later repressed on vinyl in 2016, alongside Amber, and Tri Repetae.
The material on Incunabula took about 2 years to compile.[1] Sean Booth has later recounted in interviews that Incunabula was “more of a compilation of old material” than an album.[2]
Tracks
Kalpol Introl
- "Kalpol Introl" is featured in the 1998 film Pi by Darren Aronofsky, but is incorrectly titled "Kalpol Intro" on the film's soundtrack.
- An extended version of "Kalpol Introl" appeared in their 1994 live shows.
Bike
Autriche
- Sean mentioned that a Ensoniq sampling a 606 appeared on "Autriche". [3]
Bronchus 2
- "Bronchus 2" also had alternate versions, namely "Bronchusevenmx24" and "Bronchus One.1".
Basscadet
- The vocal sample is from a live version of Jean-Michel Jarre's "Les Chants Magnetiques 1". [4]
- A bunch of remixes of "Basscadet" were released for Basscad,EP.
Eggshell
- "Eggshell" is an remixed version of their previously released song “The Egg”, which was included on the first Artificial Intelligence compilation in 1992.
- Sean noted that this track was the only track to use the Ensoniq ASR-10 as they were only able to get it near the end of production.[5]
Doctrine
Maetl
- In an early interview, Autechre mentioned the track title was chosen to poke fun at Australians who call each other "mate". The original working title was "Dudl", after Americans who call each other "dude".[6]
Windwind
- "Windwind" was possibly named because the word "wind" has two pronunciations. Autechre would follow this convention again on Amber with the track "Teartear".
Lowride
- The two major samples on "Lowride" are of Gang Starr's "DJ Premier in Deep Concentration" [7] and Holy Noise's 'The Noise (Extreme Sounds!)" [8]
