Allmusic critic John Bush panned Chiastic Slide as being an underwhelming follow-up to 1995's groundbreaking Tri Repetae, saying it was too repetitive and lacked ideas.[1] Tim Barr in Techno: the Rough Guide called Chiastic Slide "The aural equivalent of being at the bottom of the sea."[3] He went on to say the album was "Dark, claustrophobic... yet full of strange beauty".[3]

Misc Info

The third track from this album "Tewe" was featured as the opening song for Adio's One Step Beyond skate video which was released in 2002.
