'''''Tri Repetae''''' (stylised as '''''tri repetae.''''') is the third [[studio album]] by English [[electronic music]] duo [[Autechre]], released on 6 November 1995 by [[Warp (record label)|Warp]] in the United Kingdom. In contrast to the duo's previous albums, ''[[Incunabula (album)|Incunabula]]'' (1993) and ''[[Amber (Autechre album)|Amber]]'' (1994), ''Tri Repetae'' features a distinct style that incorporates more minimal rhythms and spacious melodies.
==Background==
In contrast to previous albums by Autechre, ''[[Incunabula (album)|Incunabula]]'' (1993) and ''[[Amber (Autechre album)|Amber]]'' (1994), ''Tri Repetae'' features a distinct style that incorporates more minimal, repetitive rhythmic patterns and intricate, spacious arrays of melodies; the aesthetical shift was intentionally echoed by its album cover designed by the duo's visual collaborators [[The Designers Republic]], consisting of only a single shade of [[beige]]. Stemming from Autechre's increasing preoccupation with unique electronic musical textures and [[Glitch (music)|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 satisfactorily states that it is "complete with surface noise".
==Release==
In preparation for the 1997 release of the duo's fourth studio album ''[[Chiastic Slide]]'', ''Tri Repetae'' was rereleased on 16 March 1996 by [[Wax Trax! Records]] and [[TVT Records]] in the United States as a two-disc set named ''Tri Repetae++'', which included the ''[[Garbage (Autechre EP)|Garbage]]'' and ''[[Anvil Vapre]]'' [[extended play|EP]]s constituting the second CD. In Japan, it was released with the bonus track "Medrey".<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.discogs.com/Autechre-Tri-Repetae/release/47276|title = Autechre – Tri Repetae++ (1996, CD)|publisher = [[Discogs]]}}</ref>  On 11 November 2016, ''Tri Repetae'' was re-released on vinyl by Warp,<ref>{{cite web |last1=Yoo |first1=Noah |title=Autechre to Reissue First Three Albums |url=https://pitchfork.com/news/68480-autechre-to-reissue-first-three-albums/ |website=Pitchfork |access-date=21 April 2024}}</ref> along with their two previous albums, ''Incunabula'' and ''Amber''.
