(1994) |"Anti EP" is an EP, by the
electronic music groupAutechre , released byWarp Records in 1994. It is the only Autechre release — EP or otherwise — to have an explicit purpose for release. It was a protest against theCriminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994 , which would prohibit raves, described as gatherings where music is played, music being defined as a "succession of repetitive beats." So, the third track, "Flutter", has been advertised as having non-repetitive beats and can be played at both "45 or 33 revolutions". But following their disclaimer, it was advised to DJs to "have a lawyer and a musicologist present at all times to confirm the non repetitive nature of the music in the event of police harassment."The profits from this release went to the British NGO, Liberty (the National Council for Civil Liberties) with this last statement: "Autechre is politically non-aligned. This is about personal freedom."
