scumtron Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 Amber. The first album I heard by AE, and I still remember that feeling of "this doesn't sound like ANYthing I've heard before". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thumbass Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 (edited) Amber has so much more atmosphere and is so much more memorable imo. It might sometimes even be my favorite ae album overall. Edited January 27, 2023 by thumbass 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boxus Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 I liked Incunabula more when I was younger but at some point it shifted to Amber. I think Incunabula is more immediate and fun but Amber is a deeper, more rewarding experience and has better standout tracks (Piezo especially) Both are probably my least favorites of the overall discography but I do love them 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satans Little Helper Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Can’t pick one. Both have their moments. But strangely, I like Incunabula better as an album, and yet Amber has the better individual tracks. It’s just that as an album, Amber isn’t varied enough. Or, to try to put more confusion into my comment: Amber is better, but Incunabula is the better album. Got it? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cichlisuite Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Kalpol Introl sets the mood for Incunabula so well + the Bike track is superb, that I mostly listened to just these two in succession only. But overall, Amber was always one of my favorites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

watmmisdead Posted January 27, 2023 Author Share Posted January 27, 2023 Im surprised just how divided the answers are. I was certain Amber would be the clear favorite! the last minute of Doctrine might be some of the best AE work ive heard so far (note: I was never a fan of autechre and its just recently ive warmed to incunabula) If I have to pick one track from their 2 first album, Doctrine is my pick. whats yours...

YELLOW Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Amber. Incunabula has a little bit of that 'compiled' feel that I think hinders MHTRTC in the same sorta way. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exper Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Amber for me, because it was already the start of them getting their sound. Incunabula is still great to me, but it's still lots of "recognizable" drum machines, synth tones, etc. Then when Tri Repetae came out... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont know why but I find incunabula so much more appealing vs the over polished Amber. I feel like Incunabula has the grit, the aphex aggressivness. Already Amber loses a part of what makes AE early era so unique (most importanly for the time period) but ill give myself a few weeks to acclimate to Amber Edited January 28, 2023 by watmmisdead 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fizzkinz Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 Amber for sure. not because I love Amber (but I do like it plenty). but there are few albums I would place below incunabula (other than albums by artist that are already pure garbage). It’s just not the style of music I would ever gravitate towards. Too repetitive. Almost boring. Cheese ball cringe (imo) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
