... 6. Calbruc 7. Recury 8. POLL 9. Nuane -- Autechre :: Chiastic Slide :: LP4

xp All the tracks on Cichlisuite seem to be at least tangentially fish-related.

"Characi(dae)" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Characidae

"Pencha" is the Bengali word for "owl" and "Bhutum Pencha" the Brown Fish Owl specifically: https://en.banglapedia.org/index.php/Owl

"Yees Land" is an aquatic-themed level from the Sega Genesis game Space Harrier II where you fight enemies that resemble jellyfish, clams, and frogs https://strategywiki.org/wiki/Space_Harrier_II/Yees_Land

That last one is kind of a stretch but seems very on-brand for Autechre.

dunno how many times i must've heard Hub over the years but i've never noticed that second noise in the background before, like a piccolo played on the next room, underneath all the thumping from the 4th minute or so.

Yeah I've aways been fascinates with that part since I noticed it a whole back. To me it sounds like it's playing a version of "The First Noel", particularly the "Christ was born on Christmas Day" part, and It's totally offkey with the rest of the tune.

I love 'Hub'. Makes me feel like I'm standing on a massive chess board with gigantic pieces being moved around

Chiastic slide, then I hit it double time
Then I hit a spin 'cause we spun their block a couple times

a version of "The First Noel", particularly the "Christ was born on Christmas Day" part

those words do not appear in that carol?

i guess i can hear something that could be similar to 'born is the king of israel'

this has always been one of my least faves on chiastic but listening to it with confield ears does start to open it up.

yeah that bit, sorry

chiastic and confield are close cousins, i'd say
