History YMMV / Autechre

** From ''Anvil Vapre'', we have "Second Bad Vilbel" a dark, booming song filled with static and beeps, and "Second Scepe", a bouncy and fun tune that was so good, it was even used in ''VideoGame/SleepingDogs''!

* WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs: The "Gantz Graf" video averts this; the idea for the video came to the director in an acid trip.

* DenserAndWackier: The 2014/2015 live sets, to an extent. It's their most chaotic and club-oriented release of the era, even sounding at times like their warped take on [[{{Dubstep}} brostep]].

** ''Chiastic Slide'' has "Cipater," which is a rather fun way to start the album, especially due to the tempo change in the middle. On a more melodic note is "Cichli," which features calm and soothing melodies juxtaposed over crunchy beats.
** ''[=LP5=]'' features "Rae," which is one of Autechre's most emotional songs despite the heavy beats. And then there's the closer, "[=Drane2=]," which is as melodic and peaceful as an ending to an Autechre album can get.
** ''[=EP7=]'' has it fair share of good tunes, especially "Maphive 6.1," which starts out sounding like something from a UsefulNotes/SuperNintendoEntertainmentSystem game. Then the bass strumming kicks in, which is when it starts to get ''really'' good.

** ''Draft 7.30'' has "Surripere," an [[EpicRocking 11-minute]] song that starts out wistful, before devolving into something darker and imposing.
** From ''Untilted'', there's a lot of tracks that can qualify, but special mention goes to "Sublimit," which can be considered as multiple songs in one due to the number of different sections.

** "[=Vletrmx21=]” is a soothing ambient piece that closes off the ''Garbage'' EP.

* MainstreamObscurity: They're one of the, if not the most, important names in the IDM/experimental electronic genre, and have been cited as a major influence by the likes of Music/{{Bjork}}, Music/{{Radiohead}}, and Music/{{Sophie}}, but unlike Music/AphexTwin and Music/BoardsOfCanada, their records have yet to dent the charts and truly crossover from the underground.

* NightmareFuel: ''Confield'' sparks this in some people.
** Not even their early work is immune to this; the song "Teartear" from ''Amber'' is a good example.

* GrowingTheBeard: ''Tri repetae'' is considered by long-time fans (and the duo themselves) to be where they started to come into their own, leaving behind the ambient techno sound of their first two albums (which are nonetheless both highly regarded) and into the more experimental style of later works.

* WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs: The Gantz Graf video averts this. The idea for the video came to the director in an acid trip.

* BrokenBase: Some enjoy the erratic sounds of ''Confield'' and onwards, while other fans find them unlistenable and proclaim their early albums as their best.

* OldGuardVersusNewBlood: Pulled off successfully on ''[=LP5=]''. ''Eaxi'' is also starting to look like this after being acclaimed by critics and fans alike.
* VindicatedByHistory: ''Chiastic Slide'', which upon it's release, was deemed underwhelming and a disappointment. These days, it's considered an underrated classic.

* BaseBreaker: ''Confield''.
** Actually, every new album is this. It's just every Autechre album is a NewSoundAlbum in some way and most of them get VindicatedByHistory eventually. ''Quaristice'' and ''Oversteps'' apparently still get flak over the shift to shorter and more eclectic tracks, though.
