Amber is the second studio album by the British electronic music duo Autechre, released on 7 November 1994 by Warp. It was the first Autechre album to be composed entirely of new material, as their debut album Incunabula was a compilation of older tracks. It entered the Chart Information Network|'s Dance Albums Chart at no.7. Amber received mostly positive reviews upon its release and re-release in 2016, having been described as a "classic" of the IDM genre, Amber was described by Autechre member Rob Brown as "genuinely the first album we put out on Warp". CMJ described the sound of Amber as "entirely electronic and entirely instrumental" outside a few vocal samples. In a 2013 retrospective feature, Fact described Amber as containing "some of Autechre's most ambient moments," and compared several songs ("Nine" and "Yulquen") to the works of Brian Eno, saying that their "beatless, but powerful low-end means that they’re contemplative rather than ethereal". It entered the Chart Information Network|'s Dance Albums Chart at no.7 on 19 November. Designed by Ian Anderson of The Designers Republic, the cover art is a detail of a panoramic photograph of sandstone cliffs in Cappadocia, Turkey, taken by landscape photographer Nick Meers.
The album has subsequently been reissued in all major formats, including digital download.
