| - Name used by the electronica duo of Rob Brown and Sean Booth, who have been working together on various audio and visual arts projects since 1987. By their own reckoning, Brown and Booth were B-boys with little musical experience, but a fondness for hip hop. They collected various cast-off gear from pawn shops and began making their own tapes. After going through several working names, they issued their first single under the name of Autechre in 1991.

| - Name used by the electronica duo of Rob Brown and Sean Booth, who have been working together on various audio and visual arts projects since 1987. By their own reckoning, Brown and Booth were B-boys with little musical experience, but a fondness for hip hop. They collected various cast-off gear from pawn shops and began making their own tapes. After going through several working names, they issued their first single under the name of Autechre in 1991. The duo's early efforts consisted mainly of electro and hip hop tracks, but once they had become established, they quickly began expanding their compositional and technical repetoire. Their third album, Tri Repetae, found them moving quickly towards industrial, ambient, and experimental styles. Since then, they have continued in that direction to the extent that, in their later releases, their B-boy roots are nearly unrecognizable. Autechre are considered one of the mainstays of IDM, although the duo claims no allegiance to any particular style. A typical later-period Autechre effort is likely to be filled with highly experimental beats in unfigurable time signatures, combined with usually minimal melody often performed using esoteric gear and synthesis techniques, and extensive effects and signal processing. The result is sometimes described as "cold" and "mechanical", although their music rises above those prejorative terms. Most Autechre material is not easy or danceable listening; it demands that the listener pay close attention.

Their latest album, Oversteps, was released on 22 March 2010. A new EP, Move Of Ten, was released on July 12 2010. Discography:
* Incunabula (1993)
* Amber (1994)
* Tri Repetae (1995)
* Chiastic Slide (1997)
* LP5 (1998)
* Confield (2001)
* Draft 7.30 (2003)
* Untilted (2005)
* Quaristice (2008)
* Oversteps (2010)
* Broken Pedestal / Old Shame: The band consider their first three albums, all of which were highly influential and commonly considered their best work, "cheesy."
* Canon Dis Continuity: The first release was the generic oldskool rave single Cavity Job (1991); the fans and the duo themselves rarely acknowledge it.
* Common Time: Believe it or not, Gantz Graf.
* Early Installment Weirdness: Played straight in Cavity Job and Incunabula
* Epic Rocking: "Perlence subrange 6-36" is almost an hour long, which, despite its genre (ambient), counts for length alone.
* Genre Roulette: Seriously, compare Amber to Confield. That Other Wiki has.
* Idiosyncratic Episode Naming: The majority of their albums' names are linked to what number it is chronologically, e.g. debut album is called Incunabula, derived from a latin word meaning 'the earliest traces of something'; third album Tri Repetae has the prefix 'tri-' indicating three; a chiastic phrase has four parts, thus the fourth album being called Chiastic Slide; LP 5 and Draft 7.30; eighth album Untilted has eight letters in the title and eight tracks; and Quaristice has the catalogue number 333 which adds up to 9. Their tenth album Oversteps was released in 2010.
* More recently, the EP Move Of Ten has also drawn speculation over its name: it's their first release after their tenth album, it was released in 2010 and its title is possibly a Punny Name (they were on tour during the release).
* Furthermore, three of Autechre's early E Ps each had their own quirk when it came to naming the songs on them. On Garbage, each track's name is followed by the suffix "-mx" and a number which represented how much of the EP the song took up as a percentage. On Envane every track name ended with the word "quarter", and on Anvil Vapre each track name begins with the word "Second".
* In Name Only: Two of their EPs are similar in length to that of an average album. One is twice as long.
* Minimalistic Cover Art: Possibly the poster child of this trope. This is the cover of their most popular album, Tri Repetae.
* New Sound Album: Confield and to some extent, Oversteps.
* No Name Given: LP 5 does not have any actual name.
* No Pronunciation Guide / Word Puree Title: Autechre are kings of this trope, down to their name ("aw-TEK-er" being the commonly accepted pronunciation.) Most song titles range anywhere from "Perlence" and "Cipater" to "Cep puiqMX" and "Cfern". The most egregious use of this has to be "O=0" on Oversteps.
* Punny Name: Confield and Untilted.
* Sampling: "The Plc" off of Quaristice samples Run DMC's "Here We Go".
* "Lowride" from Incunabula samples Miles Davis's "The Doo Bop Song", which, according to The Other Wiki, samples Kool & the Gang's "Summer Madness" in its turn.
* Self-Titled Album: Due to the fact that a title is not printed anywhere on the case, but the band's name is, LP5 is often referred to as Autechre or The Autechre Album by the more oblivious.
* Shout-Out: "Theme Of Sudden Roundabout" which references a local landmark near where Rob and Sean used to live, while "Montreal" refers to the Canadian city and the friends that they have there.
* Surreal Music Video: Second Bad Vilbel (which was directed by Chris Cunningham) and the iconic Gantz Graf video.
* Uncommon Time: Even their early works show signs of this.
* What Do You Mean, It Wasn't Made on Drugs?: The Gantz Graf video averts this. The idea for the video came to the director in an acid trip.
* Word Salad Title: Some of their more coherently named works.

Describen la música de Autechre como fría y austera, mientras que otros perciben una calidez y sentimentalismo que imbuyen incluso a las obras más cerebrales. Gran parte de la música de Autechre tiene un fuerte hincapié en el ritmo, la percusión, y una secuencial meticulosa. A menudo se repiten loops (bucles) inusuales y varían en forma incrementada, con la música constantemente en transición. A veces los patrones se contraponen entre sí, lo que implica varias signaturas de tiempo a la vez. Sus últimos trabajos se han centrado sobre todo en lo experimental y abstracto.
