Just a little break from all this banta :)... I bought this album coz Autechre has been recommended to me by so many people. Quite frankly I\'m extreamly dissapointed and I\'m off to take it back to the shop. I\'m hoping that the other albums will be better and actually have a bit of a tune to them as opposed to a CD full of noises. My friend ( who has other Autechre albums ) said for me to buy one of theirs. He listened to it and thought it was shit and told me to take it back. The point is everyone ( sorry, bit drawn out this post ) What do you all think of Cornfield and will I be dissapointed with the others if this one is anything to go by? Thanks. |

Lp5/tri rep/ep7 are better. If you get used to confield, many of the songs are much better. |

come to think of it.... Cornfield sounds pretty dumb... That reminds me... is track 5 on RDJ Corn Mouth or Carn Marth? His handwriting wasnt good was it? :) |

I dunno about that. But uhm Confield is pretty good after about 1 month of it..... its one of the worts autechre cds IMO, but.. its good still. The ones MmMmMmmm..... suggested are the best..... Incanabula is amazing. |

Autechre have been pushed into a tight corner by every geek with a laptop copying their every move, so they've ended up having to do shite tuneless horribleness just to stay ahead of the game. Hopefully they'll give up on being on the cutting edge all the time and go back to writing a melody now and then. |

Oh I see what you mean... Anyways, Surfing... is still eight times better than any Autechre album. Except maybe LP5. |

my god! an album full of noises? i love confield, it might be autechres most unlistenable album, but i think at the same time its their best. but if you dont like confield, dont give up on autechre... get LP5 thats fantastic... very melodic :) |

CONFIELD!!!! Where is the melodies on that album? I was so dam stupid that I bought that piece of CRAP! Its the worst album in my whole album collection, avant garde...yeah eat dick. My litte sister (10 years old) was fucking around with Fruity and cool edit and the result sounded exactly like some of the Autechre tracks on Confield. Autechre must be on crack or something, you cant call that bullshit MUSIC!!! And Im going to kill that bastard who said "go get the new Autechre album, Its bangin!" I want music not just annoying noise. And to those who like Confield....eat a dick. |

YES. Confield is definitely my most favourite electronica album. I think that it is amazing. It is so catharthic in the way it pushes you to listen to music in a different, more innovative way by offering some really hard, sometimes abrasive, exiting new sounds. I like falling to sleep with it on repeat. When I wake up my head feels so clear and imaginative. DO NOT TAKE IT BACK. I'm sure you'll wish you hadn't after some time (I took SAW II back because it did not impress me at the time and now I am seriously regretting it). |

Smart! This one is so much better! Right from track one!!! Earface: Dont worry buddy. If I feel like I shouldnt've done it; I'll go and buy it sometime... I've said before that my HMV is wicked and stocks some good music so I should be alright. I didnt hate confield, I just felt like I wouldnt notice if I turned it off coz I felt like it wasnt going anywhere... anywayz!!! ON WITH THE TRI REPETAE SHOW!!! |

go pick up lp5 and ep7. if you like autechre, you may want to check out jega, particularly the geometry album. not quite as complex as autechre, but still very good. also brothomstates ep qtio. |

I find ep7 to be the most unlistenable autechre. confield is my favorite. it's certainly no rdj album, but its not shite, just not to everyone's taste. |

ppl who don't dig confield were probably disappointed by saw2, too. try listening to some pan(a)sonic, instead. confield is great, double figure is brilliant, geometry is easy listening =) |

admittedly i don't spend a whole lot of time with ep7, but i like how confield moves back from completely abstract sounds to drum machine-y beats and takes the abstraction on a rhythmic and compositional level instead. i got tired of excessive glitch for a while. although i kinda am digging clicks and cuts 2, disc one at least so far. |

hamster fodder from umiol on 2001-08-30 06:48 [#00027734] | |||||||||

well. confield in my opinion is very good (maybe not the best autechre) but definetly good. Infact, I recently listened to it after a while not listening to it .. and it was really really rephreshing.. if this is a way to describe it. however, it probably istn' the best entry level album to buy. The earlier stuff is a lot easier to get into .. but then maybe the reward isnt quite as high (not entirely true).. but yeah, incunabula is cool (re: reflex), LP5 is probably the best to enter in on - for a autechre virgin, it would sound quite out there and is quite nice to listen to. EP7 i quite like .. fuck blah blah blah . basically .. although confield is an intense somewhat difficult record to get to grips with (basically you should just go along with it - bean bag and headphones .. ) - but it doesn't deserve all this "avant" bollicking crap. there |

Old one here.... For those involved in this topic long ago: I've now re-bought this album and........ I actually like several tracks. How very strange these turn of events are, hmm? ;) (I still can't believe I called it Cornfield!) |

CONFIELD!!! almost every song on Confield has a melody, but they're so abstract you didn't notice them on the first listen!!! Should have let it grow on you. I liked it from the first listen, recognized genius right away. |
