Autechre Autechre credited in Metroid Prime?

I just beat Metroid Prime for like the 10th time and I noticed Sean Booth and Rob Brown were credited in the special thanks list. Here is the proof:

Does anybody know how involved they are with this game? All I can think of is one of the songs that sounds a bit like Autechre. Here is a sample of it:

The game came out in late 2002, so I think this very song could have been produced during the Confield/Draft 7.30 era, perhaps.

andrew mckenzie is hafler trio too right? maybe they used ae3h0 or whatever it's called.

it doesn't sound like autechre from my perspective, and as google says produced by Kenshi Yamamoto. so crediting McKenzie, Booth, Brown in a row means it has more about ae&h3o collab really. maybe even something without direct contact with them

It seems the That Other Site™ message board found this before, but there is no mention explaining why they were credited:

Metroid Prime came out one year before æ³o & h³æ, so why are Hafler Trio and Autechre credited together then?

also, Lance Mountain is a professional skateboarder from the old school

he was the true inspiration for the game. duh.

Neat find. Gonna have to pull this game out and play it again, it really was an awesome title.

That's pretty interesting right there... perhaps a little info-digging is in order?

maybe they are all friends of the one whom made the game?

Maybe the dude just likes the futuristic sounds of Electronic Listening Music à la Warp, and listened to the Autechre whilst creating his interactive entertainment software?

thats electronic music

LOL... my local college radio station is playing Stop Look Listen right now. Didn't expect that in the least. xD

Browsing another forum, I came across this:

I have it on good authority that Autechre were asked to provide the soundtrack to Metroid Prime before Nintendo decided to do it themselves. Now that would have been something ph34r.gif

sean and rob from AE get shouts in the end credits - i told sean about this and he seemed to be surprised..

 

warp demand ridiculous royalties for game soundtracks, so this might be a reason for the non starting.. would have been nice tho...

True or not, I was reminded of this thread.

I've always found Nil sounded like something that could be on Metroid Prime's soundtrack. That's easily my favorite game ever too... awesome find.

Hmm, that's pretty IDM.

YES.

playing grid wars with ae soundtrack is a perfect combo.
