Chiastic Slide

Chiastic Slide, released in 1997 by Warp Records, is an album by the electronic music group Autechre. Like many releases on the Warp label, the album is in a style frequently described as intelligent dance music; other descriptions classify it as experimental music or, less accurately, as experimental techno.

Many critics panned Chiastic Slide as being an underwhelming follow-up to 1995's groundbreaking Tri Repetae; others now argue that the album inspired subsequent Autechre releases such as 2001's Confield, and it is often cited as one of the most underappreciated IDM albums of the 1990s.

It is also considered to be a "forgotten" release in the eyes of many American listeners because it did not receive a release in the United States until Warp Records began distributing its own releases there in 2001.

Autechre produced five remixes of the fourth track, "Cichli", on their subsequent EP Cichlisuite (1997).

The sleeve was designed by Sheffield-based design agency The Designers Republic.
