I don't know why this album gets such a bad rap, it's excellent... I've read so many reviews where they say it was nothing compared to Tri Repetae, but I disagree... while I believe Tri Repetae is excellent, Chiastic Slide is head and shoulders above it... and sure even Autechre themselves said it wasn't an adequate follow-up album didn't they? How so, I just don't see it... I think this album is amazing!!!

it's considered as one of the best releases by the folks at warp.

i think it's good in parts. especially the first four tracks are good. i still think the last half gets quite boring...it's all crunchy and nice, but the songs seem to last a bit too long. some of the tracks are really great, especially cipater, but some of the last tracks just seem to evolve too slowly, and the album sort of looses its momentum halfway through.

yeah I agree to a certain extent... track 7 and 8 run a bit long, but I still think they're great songs...

the only track i find a little repetitive is pule. but it's far from being a boring track. i like the mechanical feel that chiastic slide has. and the cover art is really cool, perfect for the music.

trivia: "pule" means "f*cking", as in the sexual act of looooove in norwegian.

hehe! i don't hear it...
it's quite laidback and nice though...a bit on the side, maybe. could do nicely if you put it on at a low volume in the background. you could hear some occasional rumbles from the speakers...
:o)

I fucking LOVE Recury... maybe my favorite Autechre track of all time. It's so repetitive, that little 2 second melody, but it sounds so good, I can't explain...
Chiastic Slide is so ''crunchy''... that can get a little annoying, but I think it's an amazing album, better than Tri Repetae.

it's more challenging than tri rep, that's for sure.
and how about the short rettic ac? always reminds me of the sound it makes when you walk on snow.

yeah, Chiastic Slide was my second Autechre album after Incunabula, so it took me a while to really get into it... it's so dense though, I hear new things all the time...

eh...i like a few of the tracks...but aside from those tracks...it tends to be one of those albums that cant quite keep my attention
i guess it may be the combination of grating sounds and redundancy...both of which i can stand seperately..

I'm listening now. I felt like a Chiastic Slide day. It goes well with a formal lab report for my chemistry class.

I agree with you Funkmaster. Chiastic Slide is one of my favorites. There really isn't a bad track on it, imo.
