Review title: Left where it fell
Product review: I can't tell you in words how much I've been disappointed by this album. After listening to "Tri repetae", I spent sleepless nights, and I still use "Tri repetae" as a reference point when I do reviews of techno records. "Chiastic slide", in many ways, just tries to duplicate the ideas and sounds of this masterpiece, and it even brings an ugly, dissonant and uninspired edge into the music. Many tracks are just built around a simple noise riff and crashy sounds, without much substance. The first two tracks are pretty good, though, and "Cichli" comes up with these psychedelic melodies so typical for Ae's earlier output. The rest is just plain boring for me. It also lacks the concept character of Ae's previous albums. And subsequent efforts like "EP7" with even more noise and less inspiration have really put me off. Not only Autechre, but also the Warp label started to fade. However, "Chiastic slide" is an o.k. purchase for new fans, but for me it was the beginning of the end.
