Chiastic Slide, released on February 17, 1997, isn’t even Autechre’s best album. (That award goes to Tri Repetae, for purposes of pleasure, or LP5, for warping of the mind.) But pull back far enough and view Autechre’s discography through a wide-angle lens, and Chiastic Slide is the axis point around which all of Autechre’s work revolves. The Warp pioneers’ discography is best understood as a continuum — one that begins with the organic and compositional and ends with the stochastic and chaotic. Chiastic Slide is the sound of two artists discovering their true calling.
