Why it's here
The turn towards abstraction; Cichli is nine minutes of nothing resolving
Comfort starts disappearing for good on Chiastic Slide. Autechre corrode melody into harder shapes, leaving a record that feels austere and never inert. The cold is not decoration; it is the environment the rhythms now live in.
