Absolutely killer release from Booth/Brown. Each track is ripp'n with it's "click-click" drum and bass beats. The track "Krib" adds a nice soft touch to this EP. The artwork for this release, as well as the 12" versions, is great. My personal favorite from the AE releases. This was the release that made me say, "WOW, if Autechre keeps this up they’re my new favorite group.", and they still are.

I feel the need to comment on this outstanding release by Booth/Brown. This is probably (IMO) the pinnacle of the AE sound, mutating from the mid-period(Tri Repetae/Chiastic Slide) to the later more abstract style. This gave a good idea of where they were going next, and was a perfect transition into the sound of the brilliant LP5. Really give it a listen, and you'll noice that the melodies are light but catchy, and the beats will make your mind flip . A perfectly programmed and all around beautiful mini album.

Absolutely SOLID EP from the boys of Autechre. This was made around the period where their beats were getting increasingly more abstract, and many people who were a fan of their earlier, more melodic sound were dropping away. A damn shame, as this EP has some fantastic works. I'll keep it short though, and I have to say that the wild, ever-mutating "Tilapia" is perhaps Autechre's best song, and one of my all time favourites. Pick this up if you liked Chiastic Slide, or the melodies featured in earlier works, this mixes the both VERY well!

Cichlisuite is a bit of a departure from Chiastic Slide and a bit disappointing. You can hear the similarities of Chiastic Slide and Cichlisuite but they are minuscule at best. Don’t get me wrong Krib is one of the most amazing tracks Autechre have ever produced, it sort of reminds me of Aphex Twin’s Bucephalus Bouncing Ball. Yeesland is also a very interesting track with a lot of potential but Autechre was on the downslide from the EP on. You can only experiment so far before you just make noise, that’s all I’m saying.

I think that the two tracks Pencha and Krib is a good enough reason bying this EP. Pencha is one of the most amasing IDM tracks out there! It's just so insane and intense, but yet so beatiful made, that I never get bored og this track! And then we have Krib, which most of all sounds like they drops some marbles or skrews down at a table. The other tracks are also very good, but they don't reach the quality of the two mentioned above.
