EAN: 0016581723924 Label: Tvt Manufacturer: Tvt Number Of Discs: 2 Publisher: Tvt Release Date: March 19, 1996 Studio: Tvt Editorial Review: Amazon.com: Despite his dedication to free speech, Frank Zappa once dismissed music criticism by likening it to dancing about architecture. No surprise, then, that the British duo Autechre draws critical approbation by making music, seemingly, about architecture. With its pulsing, pneumatic beats, its favor for geometric rhythms, and its utterly mechanical sound sources, Autechre revels in the brittle, the desolate, and the mundane. Tri Repetae++ ranges from the Doppler effects of "C/pach;" to the elastic irritants of "Rsdio." Characteristic of its mission, the CD's scant liner notes admonish listeners: "Incomplete without surface noise." Not quite true, since the album provides much of its own noise, even in the relatively pure realm of digital playback. The U.S. edition includes two earlier EPs, "Anvil Vapre" and "Garbage." --Marc Weidenbaum Album Description: Limited repressing vinyl on the Warp label. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - A lot of great materialThe first disk of this set, the Tri Repetae LP, is in my mind a 3 star release on its own, the Anvil Vapre EP a 4 star release, and the Garbage EP a 5 star masterpiece. This averages out, resulting in the 4 star rating above. The sheer amount of music here gives it my recommendation, but not all of it has consistency. All 3 of these releases are from Autechre's most minimal period, in which tracks were more often than not extremely repetitive and lengthy... a calculated, groovy beat ... Read More Rating:  - This is the one most Ae fans talk aboutThis one is said to be the most popular album for Autechre. It's a double CD which is the original album of Tri Repetae, plus two of their EP's have been added as a second CD. This album has a lot of variable tracks that are very much distinctive from track to track. Which is to say, if you pay attention to song titles, you will get to know most of the names of these tracks very quickly. Out of all the tracks on this double CD, the very last track on the second CD is my personal favorite. When ... Read More Rating: - a great set. hypnotic and complex in emotion and execution.this is some of my favorite electronic music. this set, combining the full length tri repetae with the EPs anvil vapre and garbage, has some great hypnotic and complex songs. i'm not the greatest fan of electronica, but these guys can really pull it off. i find this to be very easy to listen to as well. tri repetae begins on the more abrasive and complex side and starts to mellow out after a while into lighter territory. the first four tracks are quite harsh, but not in a very brutal ... Read More Rating: - An awesome and historically influential electronica album!Like many have stated before, Autechre's "Tri Repetae++" really sounds like it was recorded inside some sort of futuristic robot factory (this is the case for the first 3 songs, anyway). The way they recorded it is actually pretty interesting too - they handmade all their equipment so they could get the right sound they wanted. That in itself adds a cool perspective to the experience when listening to the album. As a whole, though, the album is unfortunately uneven (that's mainly the first disc here, the ...
