Among other things, Autechre is known for having a plethora of album-length and album-quality EP's in addition to their catalogue of impenetrable LP's. Envane is a peculiar one in the line, seeing the duo's trademark IDM robotics with a hip-hop flavor to them. Simply put, as you can hear most prominently on opener "Goz Quarter", this is Autechre's short-but-sweet foray into the realm of glitch-hop, showing that the duo were beginning to evolve their sound further and experiment with it to a noticeable degree. It is this mindset that they've worked with ever since, which is just one of the reasons why Envane is another important Autechre EP.
