Chiastic Slide

Why did Autechre supposedly say that this wasn't a worthy
follow-up to Tri Repetae? I think it's one of their most
consistent and enjoyable records they've put out. It's like
Draft, but more accessible.

Draft 7.30 is mercury
Chiastic slide is snow

They didn't say it was unworthy they just said it wasn't a
proper follow up. It was a detour.
I don't think it is similar to draft.

Hmmm
I think Draft and Chiastic Slide both have a pretty
industrial (not music-wise) feel to it. They both conjure up
images of big dark buildings and huge machinery. Whereas,
LP5 was a pretty record filled with lots of nice melodies,
and Confield was... all over the place.

well my friend
FOR ME:
chiastic slide conjures images of a massive snowy plain
which is underpinned by a load of machines which
occasionally break through the snow. they create a lot of
warmth under the snow.

draft 7.30 is very liquidy. it all flows really nicely, and
reminds me of mercury. IV VI IV VI VII reminds me of a sea
storm or something like that. the artwork kind of represents
what i mean, the way it all flows in and out of itself.

And now, A CARTWHEEL

i think chiastic slide has always been a purely mechanical
album for me. lp5 sounds like computers. and ep7 sounds like
insects. confield sounds like a mayan temple in the jungle.
draft 7.30 sounds like autechre making music.

"That's a good thing". Actually I think that "Chiastic
Slide" has a quite distinct metallic feel to its production.
Not so much machine like...

There are some tracks (like "Tewe" or "Pule") that sound
like they are produced by metallic rods of various sizes so
i guess the first comment was directed there. But I agree
it's their machine album.

It's my fave record of theirs behind Incunabula.

I think they said it wasn't a proper follow-up in their
evolution of sound because it basically just builds off the
concepts off Tri-Repetae whereas LP5 is more of a leap.

Its their first interesting record.

Tewe is a masterpiece.
