Autechre´s Amber has been my favorite album ever since I bought it. And
everything they have done before Tri Repetae is excellent, but the stuff
they have been doing lately, like Cichlisuite doesn´t do anything for me. I
have listened to Cichlisuite less than ten times and I have never liked one
second of it....while I have listened to Amber at least once a week for
years.
I´m just waiting for their new album...

all the fuss over Autechre.  It's clear a majority of subscribers to this
list hold Ae close to their hearts, but I don't see it.  I've only heard
Amber and Cichlisuite, but, believe me, I tried to like them.  I couldn't.
Amber is boring as hell and has no staying power as far as I am concerned.
Cichlisuite is essentially unlistenable.
