Autechre Ambience

In Early 2001 or thereabouts, I was listening to "Large with Everything" on WXCI one night. Autechre had just released a new album, Confield, and the radio started in with the unmistakable ambience of Autechre. Jumbled beats, thumping irregular bass, indescribable keys and sounds. Only, it wasn't Autechre. It turned out to be a local outfit called "Fantastic Superhero." I was floored, and immediately set out recruit them to my fledgling label. I was able to get in contact with one of the guys and got a copy of their demo, "Un Choc Electrique." We agreed the release would be on 12" vinyl, and if I'm not mistaken, maybe even a picture disc. Everything was agreed upon, and I was thrilled about Sonic Syrup's first foray into electronic music. They told me they were switching email accounts and they'd be in touch in a week. Then...nothing. They just disappeared. I tried to track them down, but over the years I've found nothing. So here it is. Listen and weep. How would this have sounded in 2001? What kind of impact could this album have had on the scene?
