However we advise DJs to have a lawyer and musicologist present at all times to confirm the non repetitive nature of the music in the event of police harassment.' The record came wrapped in a seal, on which was printed a legal warning: 'Flutter has been programmed in such a way that no bars contain identical beats and can therefore be played at both forty five and thirty three revolutions under the proposed new law. Rave music was defined as music which 'includes sounds wholly or predominantly characterized by the emission of a succession of repetitive beats'. The Anti EP was released shortly before Amber and is, as of yet, the only Autechre release to have an explicit purpose: it was a protest against the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994, which would prohibit raves, defined as any gathering of nine or more people where rave music is played. 1994 also saw the release of Amber, an album featuring a more ambient, less percussive approach than their debut. This music video featured on MTV Europe's Party Zone when Autechre were interviewed during the show in September that year. An EP of remixes of Incunabula's 'Basscadet' was released in 1994, with animated computer graphics for the Bcdtmx version created by Jess Scott-Hunter. The album had a cool, calculated feel, with clear techno and electro roots, but also showed hints of the rhythmic flourishes and tuned percussion that would later become an important feature of their work.

Booth said: 'The first two letters were intentional, because there was an 'au' sound in the track, and the rest of the letters were bashed randomly on the keyboard.

Their first release as Autechre was the single ' Cavity Job' in 1991, released on Hardcore Records. Their first release was Lego Feet, a 12' recorded under an alias of the same name brought out by Manchester's Skam Records. Heavily influenced by synth-pop, hip-hop, and acid house, they began trading mixtapes and then creating their own compositions while collecting a handful of cheap equipment, most notably a Casio SK-1 sampler and a Roland TR-606 drum machine. Д«rown and Booth met through Manchester's graffiti scene in 1987 when they both lived in Rochdale.
