Autechre – Chiastic Slide 2xLP Vinyl Record

“If you like feeling like you’re drowning in an ocean of overwhelming yet oddly relaxing techno and glitch, this is the album for you.” – Popcultcha Dan’s Review

Autechre is an English electronic music duo consisting of Rob Brown and Sean Booth, both from Rochdale, Greater Manchester. Formed in 1987, they are among the best known acts signed to UK electronic label Warp Records, through which all of Autechre’s full-length albums have been released beginning with their 1993 debut Incunabula. They gained initial recognition when they were featured on Warp’s 1992 compilation Artificial Intelligence.

Chiastic Slide is the fourth studio album by the British electronic music group Autechre, released 17 February 1997 by Warp Records. Though not initially met with the same critical acclaim as Tri Repetae or LP5, Chiastic Slide was eventually recognized by critics as an innovative and “enormously influential” album.

A 2017 FACT Magazine retrospective described Chiastic Slide as “an enduring classic” that marks “the axis point around which all of Autechre’s work revolves,” representing a “break from contemporaneous orthodoxy” in electronic music and sound composition. In an interview with Popular 1 Magazine, guitarist Kavus Torabi of Cardiacs named Chiastic Slide as one of his favourite albums.
