Incunabula is the debut album by electronic music group Autechre. It was released in 1993 and is the seventh album in the Artificial Intelligence series. The album's title has also been typeset as (Incunabula), as all Artificial Intelligence releases were. Incunabula is a Latin word, the plural of incunabulum, the term used for printed books published prior to 1501; or more generally for something in its infancy or early stages of development. Sean Booth and Rob Brown have claimed that Incunabula, rather than a deliberate attempt at an album, is actually a compilation made by Warp right after they were signed. Despite this, the album was a hit and produced "Basscadet", the only single released by Autechre that has been taken from one of their albums. "Kalpol Introl" was used in Darren Aronofsky's debut film π. The track "Lowride" samples "The Doo Bop Song" by Miles Davis, which in turn samples Kool & the Gang's "Summer Madness". The track "Bike" is featured in the game Grand Theft Auto: Episodes from Liberty City on "Self-Actualization FM". A limited edition pressing of 1000 copies was released on silver vinyl.
