now that we have had a year to digest confield, how has it aged?
for me it has improved with every listen.

i found when i bought the record i preferred tracks like Eidetic and the more easy listening ( so too speak ) on the album... nowadays when i listen too it, which is still a damn lot, i look forward more too the really obscure tracks

it has grown a lot on me over the year, and it's become one of my most beloved albums. also agree with teapot; the dense, complex tracks on confield, are usually the most rewarding ones.

Confield is one of the coolest and futuristic albums i have ever heard.
They are way ahead of everybody else.

Also a year on from double figure. I brought that in the same week it came out, and it seems rather disapointing to me. Kind of cheesy.

i really didnt like it when i heard most of it on mp3, but i think i'm going to go and buy it for fun, albums that are incredibly difficult to get into can be very rewarding

Some people on this board are pretty fanatical about them. I quite like not for threes and advance, but double figure just doesnt do it for me like other artists do. Download some stuff by them, it wont hurt.

most of their tracks seem very samey. their better work seems to be the remixes they do for other people. maybe it's just me.

just when i thought i'd mined every jem from the dark depths of the thing called Confield, put on some headphones and still hearing new things. Genius. One of the best musics of all time.

after almost a year since it was released, a lot more people no enjoy and appreciate confield. but what do you think is the weakest track on there?
the only track i often skip is Lentic catachresis. very impressive at first, though.

i say the first half is stronger than the second half. i'd have to agree with u about the weakest track, at first Lentic was very impressive indeed.
What's your least favorite track? mine is Bine.

i skip only sim gishel.... up till recently i thought it was completely abstract, but i found a vague resemblance of a melody, which, sadly, disappears after about 4 minutes....

I didn't like it a couple of months ago, and it led me to believe Autechre is overrated, but now I love it. Gets better with every listen, so the old cliche goes...

yes this album gets much better with every listen. I think bine is the weakest track.

This is what Q mag said about it last year.
"The Mancunian duo's sixth album, but their first since Thom Yorke started going on about them, so automatically their highest-profile. Along with Richard "Aphex Twin" James and Depth Charge's J. Saul Kane, Autechre are arguably the most admired by their contemporaries - the truculent, limelight-shunning 606-programmers' truculent, limelight-shunning 606-programmers - and Confield has an aptly academic air. Opener VI Scose Poise is a microscopic ambient study, electronic instruments emulating found sounds like the distant clatter of 3am binmen or raindrops on an aluminium plate. Pen Expers is what it must be like when computers have a kung-fu fight. Melody turns up when it feels like it in the form of minimal, piano-ish triads, but it is not the point of Confield. Hard to say what is, really."
I wonder how many times they listened to it....

when i listen to lentic catachresis i always picture that droid from the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy going insane and eventually dying slowly, his gibbering fading into a gray abyss....
but that's prolly just me :)
