From Wired(June '97):
Autechre
"Chiastic Slide"
Warp
It's no coincidence that "autchre" is reminiscent of the word "auteur":
Sean Booth and Rob Brown produce techno that stands out like the
improvisations of classical virtuosos. The pair's skill lies in
tweaking the familiar, giving mechanical sounds orchestral breadth and
imbuing traditional strings with an unnerving air. On this forth
release, Autechre takes its oblique acoustics one step further,
changing the relationship of beat and melody with each successive song.
"Chiastic Slide" ends with the soothing "Nuane," in which Autechre
toys with emotion and rhythm on a macrocosmic scale. Dance music for
the troubled psyche. --Dan Sicko
