Amber, released by Warp Records in 1994, is the second full-length album by the electronic music group Autechre. Amber has a more ambient, less percussion-based sound than Autechre's first release Incunabula.

The sleeve is designed by Sheffield based design agency The Designers Republic. The cover photograph depicts mountain formations from Cappadocia in Turkey.

Production

Amber is Autechre's first real 'album' created as such, their first release, Incunabula, being more of a compilation of older material.[2] It was written in the six months after their first album,[3] "really quickly" according to Sean Booth, whilst they were also writing more live material and touring. Some of this live material ended up on the Anti EP.
