artist : autechre
title : cichlisuite (mechanically reclaimed by autechre)
label : warp records
catalouge : wap96cd
summary : beautiful, disjointed, purely autechre
what can i say. i am a fool for autechre. i love the way they
intersperse lush, enwraping melodies with beats i can only
describe as cruel. i love the feeling of controlled chaos they
harness. i love the undertones that permeate each and every
track i have ever heard of theirs. i love the clarity and the
complexity, the dirtyness and the precision. i think you probably
get the idea.
cichlisuite is no exception. as with every autechre release i
have ever listened to, it took me some time to fall in love with
it. the subtleties do not emerge for a few listenings, and even
then one really needs to center their attention on it to do it
justice. autechre have always more than held up to repeated
listenings, they mature and grow, favourite passages develop into
deeper pathways, apparenty arythmic sections manifest their
inherent order.
all the trademark autechre elements are there, beats within beats,
washes upon washes, more and more with every listen.
mmmn. autechre.
