Tri Repetae
Tri Repetae (stylised as tri repetae.) is the third studio album by English electronic music duo Autechre, released on November 6, 1995 by Warp in the United Kingdom. In contrast to the duo's previous albums, Incunabula (1993) and Amber (1994), Tri Repetae features a distinct style that incorporates more minimal, repetitive rhythmic patterns and intricate, spacious melodic arrays. This is echoed in its album cover, which consists of only a single shade of beige. The album was rereleased on March 16, 1996[1] by Wax Trax! Records and TVT Records in the United States as a two-disc set named Tri Repetae++, which included the Garbage and Anvil Vapre EPs constituting the second CD. In Japan, it was released with the bonus track "Medrey".

Stemming from Autechre's increasing preoccupation with textures and glitches, the liner notes of the album mention a preference to listen to the album on vinyl for surface noise. The CD version states that the album is "incomplete without surface noise", whereas the vinyl version states that it is "complete with surface noise".
