Notes
Tracklist inside gives incorrect tracktime for track 10
though titled "9 (AUTECHRE remix)" on the back of the digipack, track 11 is the same as on the Remixes 12", where it is (correctly) titled "8 (Ae Mix)". it is clearly a remix of "8", and not "9". Also, the other Autechre remix of Various Artists, is titled "No. 8 (Ae2 Mix By Autechre)", it appears on 8, 8.5, 9 • Remixes.

A shame, because it's one of Autechre's best. A 2/2 kick rhythm is unusual in techno, let alone the abrasive industrial textures Ae used here. For nearly 10 minutes this thing steamrolls along with punishing relentlessness, powerful drums set to glitchy machine rhythms hypnotically pounding along. Of course this being Autechre, the initial repetition is a ploy - this piece changes up a lot during the 10 minutes, and stays utterly compelling throughout.
A shame Ae don't make more tunes like this, and insist on sticking with their uber-cerebral IDM/glitch nonsense nowadays. Their remix of 9, and the Confield bonus track Mcr Quarter, are rare pieces of powerful industrial techno in their catalogue. Recommended for fans of Reeko, British Murder Boys and Grovskopa.
