Rhythm as corroded machinery; where IDM stopped being techno with better manners

Corroded machinery becomes rhythm on Tri Repetae. Autechre stop sounding like techno with stranger details and begin building their own grammar. Abrasion, repetition and mechanical decay become the composition itself. The smaller the change, the more weight it seems to carry.

2 on The 10 Best IDM Albums

The record where Booth and Brown stop sounding like anyone else. Corroded, precise, and considerably funkier than the reputation allows. Everything they did afterwards is downstream of the decisions taken here.
