This is my favourite AE album. I have the vinyl version and I like to play the tracks faster then 33 rpm. Try it.

A little background, first. My first Ae release was 1995's Tri Repetae, an absolute electronic masterpiece in every way.
These tracks were originally recorded in 1995, right near the time they released Tri Repetae & the Garbage ep. Warp released this in 1999, right in the middle of when Ae were busy falling further and further into insanity, making this a welcome addition to the Ae catalogue. This release is truly worth it for "Milk DX" alone...suitably skeletal percussion underneath a wonderfully emotional melody. Not saying the other tracks are bad, however; "Inhake 2" is heavy drums, almost playful-sounding keyboards and some very strange vocal samples (they almost sound like chanting ants). And "Drane"...well, let's just say, you have to hear it to believe it.
Any fan of Ae should try to track this release down, and I can honestly say that this is a good starting point for anyone who wants to get into Autechre but prefers not to be scared off by the insanity of their later work (LP5, Confield). HIGHLY recommended. 4.5/5
Rated 4/5

The first Peel Session was better then the 2nd one in my opinion. This CD opens with Milk DX. Nothing special and kinda repetetive, but classic Autechre. Track 2, Inhake 2, is the best on here in my opinion. One of Autechre's catchiest beats ever. The closing track, Drone is a pretty long ambient driven song. The release isn't essential unless you're a die hard Autechre fan like me
Rated 5/5

Looking back, this is probably the first Autechre release I bought. To this day I think it's still their best all-around release, mainly just because each song is brilliant. All are beautifully simple compared to the rest of Autechre's catalog. Drane is undoubtedly the best of the three. As stated, this is an excellent release to get into Autechre with. I'm proof of that.
Rated 5/5

This, I believe, is the best place for a someone new to Autechre to start. It's a mix of beat driven, ambient, and experimental music that rocks the listener. Check it out if you haven't you won't regret it.
Rated 5/5
Review by IoaPetraka Nov 29, 2001
When I first got in to the "IDM" sound, I was told to check out Autechre. So I at random found a song with a neat title and downloaded it. That song was Drane. Needless to say, I was blown away, rocked into another universe, and never looked back! So while I have found *plenty* of other Autechre songs I love, Drane remains one of my favorites. Track 1 is also very interesting. With good equipment, the good stereo seperation and depths of sound does neat tricks with your head. Track 2 is a little less memorable, but that is okay, Drane is worth the cost of the disc all by itself in my opinion.
