Who think that Confield is a masterpiece sign here and tell why.
Everyday I like this album more, I think it's totally innovative, it's amazing and it represents maximum level of sound's
electronic technology.
In this period Autechre are the more advanced electronic musicians, imo.

The cover cd rapresent perfectly the sound of the album. First time who I listened Confield I said "What is this?!?" "It isn't music!" but now my opinion is totally different... this isn't music for human's ears... Ae come from another planet, mates.
Track#1 is simply incredible, I love the melody who start at 1'58"... Ae combine a lot of rumors and sounds with melodies in the background.... but every single rumors and sound has a own sense and logic.

Confield is a sheer MASTERPIECE...Easily Ae's best work.
Everytime I listen to it, which is almost once a day... I am reminded of laying your ear up to the ground outside. Especially in the grass...All of the sounds you can hear, big and small, common and unrecognizable...Each one making your mind think and bringing out different moods and ideas.

yep confield is a masterpiece... just everything about it... starts off amazing, and then gets really obscure with tracks 4,5 & 6 its almost like 3 phases... and lentic catachresis has too be the best final song on an album ever...

I agree. It's a masterpiece, especially with the knowledge that it's all calculated. No random shots. Every single layer in those tracks have a special purpose.
Pen Expers, for example... I can't imagine how this track could have been made better.
Confield is an album that will grow with time and I can understand the fear some people are feeling during the first listening. Just give it some time.

Yes woofer. It is pure class. For me it is its 3d qualities. I can listen to it so mant times and it just gets deeper and deeper. For me it is like an engrossing film. I have to fully concentrate on it or else it is lost.
Only some music merits this kind of attention. I feel lucky to be able to listen to such music. It is something I could not concieve of only a couple of years ago.
Blessed by thy confield amen

I can't say it's a masterpiece, even if I love it...it's a sort of testament of the kind of work autechre put on...it's heartless and I like it for this, only my mind is involved when I listen to it...this is, actually, braindance
my score to confield is 9/10

confield is the best album they released, imo. but it's not easy to listen to. other albums by autechre i can play for days in a row, while with confield i can do without it for weeks after i played it one time. and then when i do play it again, i'm reminded of the utter brilliance.

Confield needs a special listen and a special attention... it isn't easy to understand but when you find the right key for open the mind... you fly in a new universal electronic sound.
I repeat Ae are really advanced...
I hope Richard D. James will give the right answer to Ae with release of a new experimental album special as Confield is. I know who RDJ has the class for make it... and I hope he'll make it.

I think they work with different attitudes..afx is not so obsessed with experimental works...infact he releases music he has produced some years ago...and still druqks>confield even if I adore both of them...

heres a fact for you-autechre wanted to call confield '010101' with its release date on new years day-however no distributor would touch it as it was new years day so they had to come up with another title-there aren't any promo copies bearing this title though...
mmmnnn-not sure if id label it a masterpeice-i do think its amazing/brilliant & i do think its ae's best to date-it stricks me as a concise output of their ideas to date. im really into their output of late-ep7 just caught me off guard and confield was a tighter version of ep 7. i sorta didnt get lp5...dunno some of their stuff mid career im not that arsed about to be honest..

(boc, plaid, broadcast, ae, aphex, jamie liddel) talented man, however he got sacked-(boo). autechre werent too chuffed, but they couldnt find a distributor on new years day-besides there arent many shops open..

In the fist 90's Aphex Twin was experimental like now are Autechre, imho. Try to think... to SAW 85-92, SAW II, ABB series, first drill'n'bass, etc... now RDJ seems to lose a little bit of his innovative ideas.

I think one of the more innovative AFX tracks in DRUKQS, is Gwarek2... this track is really innovative.
Try to imagine a totally new album with a lot of new sounds like Gwarek2 but with the melodies of SAWII, i.e.
Come on Richard it's time to change style... stop to drill'n'bass and go with new ambient/experimental sounds.

it's a piece of brilliance that needs to approached with an open mind. i think you have to be familiar with AE's music before attempting it. but yeah it makes sense after the progression of repetae, chiastic, lp5... it's just brilliant.

yeah it's underrated allright. everyone always mentions lp5, tri repetae. but chiastic slide is a gem. pity the last 3 tracks go on a bit too long, otherwise it's fantastic.
