Reviews & Discussion
I find "We R Are Why" to be one of the very best Autechre tracks - it's maybe the only track with a cheerful feel by them. The rhythm is smooth and doesn't become boring through whole 8:33. All sounds are distinct.
The second track is not that good, as for me. It has a darker feel, at least in its first half.

Somewhat reminescent of Tri Repetae (which came out the same year)in style and sound, but definitely a unique work on it's own. Too bad it's hasn't been re-pressed, as it was available only by direct mail order. Oh, well.
If possible, download the versions of this song recorded at
33 1/3 rpm. They really give you a different feel for the tracks.
