The EP's title references the track "Cichli" (pronounced "sickly") from Chiastic Slide. All versions of the EP also include the statement “Mechanically Reclaimed by Autechre” on the cover, implying that the tracks are remixes, reworkings, or otherwise sourced from pre-existing material, though the statement is unclear. Autechre has said that several tracks on Cichlisuite were made entirely on the Nord Lead synthesizer, suggesting yet another meaning for the statement.[5]
