Autechre ‎– Tri Repetae

Eutow always stirs the emotions within me... Wave after wave! And it's danceable too! The rest of the album has some great tracks/moments.. It got influences of Industrial Techno from 92/93... Sometimes I play this lp on 45-8 for a more accelerated drive. P.s. For all us English in 2019 this was made in the E.U.(Hmmm)...

This is such a strange album. I can't tell what kinds of feelings I get listening to it, ranging from relaxed to paranoid (Rotar is a brilliant example of this; one of their best of all time imo)
Definitely one of the best albums in their repetoire, second only to LP5.

Great repress, v happy with the sq, very little surface noise. Don’t hesitate to grab this version

Yet another Autechre release I bought from Cob Records though this album was a shift away from the melodic atmospheres of Incunabula and Amber. This is where the metallic tones and crushing though erratic beats entered in full force. A classic album and pathway to future releases.

I redeemed the download code for tri repeatae and got Incunabula instead. Not a particularly bad deal anyway.

Never remove those stickers. It’s part of the artwork. Always worth more.

Awesome repress from warm! Probably my best sounding record. Haven't been into Autechre for that long, a bit here and there. These re-releases of the first 3 records are the perfect time to delve in 😎.. Great record!!

After an inspired but not-quite-groundbreaking debut (Incunabula), and a spotty second effort (Amber), Tri Repetae is where Autechre finally hit their stride.

The first thing you notice is that they've kicked the sound design up a notch. The familiar 606 percussion of their early years is gone, replaced by the distorted sound of metal on metal. Tempo is kept by minimalist clicks and gut-wobbling bass stabs, like in lugubrious opener "Dael". Synth timbres have been tweaked and filtered into the otherworldly wheezes of exhausted factory equipment.

The album art shows a series of discomfiting, digitally-altered images of sinister machines. The front cover is some pantone shade that looks like a shiny green oil slick. It fits perfectly.

But it's not all doom & gloom: this album also does euphoric ("Eutow"), playful ("C/Pach"), and pensive ("Overand", a quietly pulsating ambient track that bests anything from "Amber"). Finally there's the mysterious "Rsdio", which is like eavesdropping on an alien transmission that finally slides into the subaudible range. All of Tri Repetae is so rhythmically and melodically inventive that even the few points where it drags ("Leterel", "Stud") are still pleasant.

Warp's recent vinyl reissue is brilliant. The audio quality is top notch: I'm not sure if it's been remastered or if my ears are playing tricks on me, but it sounds even better than the original CD release. The price was reasonable too, and I can only hope they'll continue with the rest of Autechre's back catalog.

I could go on like this. To sum up, Tri Repetae is vital 1990s electronica that should appeal even to some listeners who don't typically dip their toes into this style of music.

This is a really great Repress from Warp ! Perfect sound and vinyl quality ! Absolutely clean sound and good dynamics. No surface noise ;-)
If you dont already got this on LP (first pressings are very expensive today, and the RE sound better ! ) this is a must have !
(and...for those who dont know, "comes complete with surface noise" was a little joke sticker info at original released LPs (on cd there was "...without surface noise" ) .
I´m listening to this album since it was releases in 1995, and love to listen to it again and again .
