I've just listened to this all the way through, after eventually finding a copy in Tower Records (could find ANY in loads of other shops I searched through...HMV, MVC, etc..) and it shows a musical, tuneful and even slightly jazzy side to Autechre I've never heard before! Especially the second half of Cipater (amazing) and the first half of Nuane. Most of the middle tracks are a little too repetitive for me, but these two amazingly inspirational tracks more than make for it...This CD proves Autechre to be both great sound editors and amazing meldody and ryhthm creators, imho.

love it This weekend i was visiting an old friend, and we went for a walk quite close to the sea... i could hear the waves, and there was such a strong wind. It was not a sunny typical beach day at all, it was cold and the sky was great and i thought it was a very beautiful atmosphere.
And all this time in my head in could here the track "recury" playing :-) It fitted so well with the moment. The music describes that atmosphere so well...
Personally i could have lived without "hub", which is too repetitive and boring for me, but i think all the other tracks are great! Wonderful album with amazing artwork.

It's so repetitive... but so awesome.
It's kind of ''ugly'', dirty sounds and beats, but it's beautiful like some dying wheezing machine. Yakkity yak.

The end of nuane is gorgeous. It's like nerve cell firecrackers shot into the air and leaving trails of pitched static.
I'm appreciating this album more and more now... it's a subtle piece of work.

Meh...Chiastic Slide is alright, I rarely listen to it anymore. Their more recent releases are far better. It still has some pretty good tunes tho. Like Tewe, for example.

But don't you agree with my original post, about it showing off Autechre as musicians more? I mean, listen to that improvising at the end of Cipater-amazing. And those weird and wonderful tunes in Nuane....I'll admit it doesn't have such a good-bad track ratio as, say Confield however.

Good but not great. my beef is like evryone else's .. too repetative. The highlight for me though is Pule, without a doubt .. it's so gorgeous it's ridiculous. *said in the Balki Bartokomoos voice* also the way it leads right into nuane is great.

Yeah, actually...it is rather annoyingly repetetive, true. Especially Recury, which I truely WANT to love, but it just goes on way too much! Same with many others.
Why couldn't they all had been as precise in length as Cipater and Nuane? I suppose it's all opinion....But I would have prefered it that way.

although i agree with the jazzy/funky nature, this album perturbs me, and i love autechre. i'd say it's their worst release; it seems halfassed. tewe is the only good song.

It sounds like they're trying to squeeze water out of stones in 'rettic ac'. I agree with you on 'cipater', it sounds like they paid more attention to the mix. The detail is more melodic.

This album is just incredible. I never really got why Tri Repetae++ was so loved - this is the real gem IMHO.
Perfect for an icy cold day - snow falling - and a warm tea in your hand.

for me it's always been some sort of getting away from the more acceptable sounds of tri repetae moving on to their more recent stuff. (probably acceptable isn't the word I'm supposed to use right here, but when I put on autechre releases in the presence of friends, they find it weird music, but aren't annoyed by their work up to chiastic).
Can't really explain it, but I consider it to be an essential step in their evolution.
You should really listen to all their albums after one another to know what I mean.
