Anti EP is an EP by the electronic music group Autechre was released by Warp Records in 1994. It is the only Autechre release - EP or otherwise - to have an explicit purpose for release. It was a protest against the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994, which would prohibit music that has "repetitive beats." So, the third track - Flutter - has been advertised has having non-repetitive beats. 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." This release's profit also 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."
