Review / Autechre / Cichlisuite / 12" / 3 Tracks / Warp Records (WAP96RPA) /
Release date ?
I suppose Warp is - in major-label fashion - charging double the price for
this one as well as Anvil and Envane and putting it on two 12"s, however,
I've only got (what I suppose is) part 1 of the set. Three tracker, Long
A-side (Characi) which sounds like a R2 unit on SLOOOW speed with (boring)
repetetive melodies and nothing even close to the complex layers on other
Autechre relases (Key Nell, The Sound of Machines, Envane etc.. List can go
on forever). I never thought I'd say this about anything from B&B, but this
isn't really much fun. This is boring. B-Side (Krib, Tilapia) continues in
the same manner. They've done it all before, and either they ran out of
inspiration or they lost the sampling-mic somewhere on the road, because
'tis all bleepy sounds with wet techstarish drums all a'la the Autechre
recipe. On Krib things get a little bit more interesting, but they should
probably wait longer between the releases (I don't even want to hear the new
Sqrpshr), I dunno, but I'm really disappointed. Chiastic Slide and Envane
was KILLER, this is nothing new. It's not really bad, just old (meaning: it
will sell very well). Take over from here Jega.
Too beige for me really.
