Why it's here
The turn towards abstraction; Cichli is nine minutes of nothing resolving
Chiastic Slide is Autechre's turn toward abstraction, 'Cichli' nine minutes of nothing resolving, the point where the melodies started dissolving in earnest. It's a demanding, austere record, the sound of the duo abandoning comfort for good, and it rewards listeners willing to follow them into the cold.
