History

In We are the music makers, November 1997, Sean explained that all of the tracks started from the same basis, however over the course of working on-and-off the tracks alongside other material, each track became more and more distinct until it ended up as Envane.

Tracks

• "Goz Quarter" samples Dr Octagon (Kool Keith) - No Awareness. The sampled line in question was confirmed to be “Watch you jam like Autechre”. [1]
• Rob mentioned that the scratching on the track is real. [2]
