I like Aphex Twin, Squarepusher, Luke Vibert, Leila and Kosmik Kommando. Which Autechre album/release do you reckon I should get first, bearing in mind I've never heard anything by them and want something that is typical of their work.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Get confield FIRST. Once you understand Confield, you will understand it all.

i think you should get ep7 first. if you get tri repetae, try to get tri repetae ++. it has the tri repetae album and the second disk is two other albums of theirs. anvil vapre is one of them.

Get Incunabula... it's beautiful stuff, if a bit dated in some places... Bike, Eggshell, and 444 are amazing!!!

Yeah, pick up Tri Repetae ++. No doubt at all. If you don't like that one (I didn't that much at first), try out LP5. It's better, crazier, and more beautifuller.
Eventually you'll find out about something called Confield and you'll probably shit yourself and have a revelation about music as a whole and you'll desperately want to find other people you can talk to about it, but it won't be easy. Then you'll listen to Draft and be like "walla walla walla walla walla walla"
Do not get Amber

I would pick up Amber, Tri Repetae and LP5 right away. If you have those, you could probably get away without having any of the rest of them.

You reckon? I'm not sure. I like a couple of the tracks on there - the last one, whatever it's called - but I always thought it was a bit of a step backwards from Tri Repetae.

Nuane (on chiastic slide) > entire tri repeate album
Tri repeate album = Chiastic Slide album

I think the first four tracks on Chiastic Slide and the last track are better than anything on Tri Repetae. Especially Cipater.
Tri Repeatae is pretty great, but the second half (apart from the amazing second last track) leaves me a bit cold and there's a few "meh" moments. I don't get why Chiastic Slide is so unpopular (in comparison with the rest of their outpt.)

i dont understand why either, i see it as their first real foray into experimental territory. i think most people honestly weren't ready for its genius, but EP7 and LP5 helped prime them for the insane-ness that is Confield. Tri repeate is a lot more calm and toned down and less abrasive than Chiastic slide.

Well, I don't have the record to hand, but as far as I see it there aren't very many stand-out tracks on it, and there are too many duds. If I'm remembering correctly, Tewe, Calbruc and Recury are all pretty weak. And Cichli, which is a decent track, only really gets going after about five minutes. It's nothing to do with me not being ready for it - Autechre is hardly rocket science compared a Ligeti sonata. I think some Ae fans get too caught up in this idea that you have to be clever to "get" their later records. I think the idea some of them need to face up to is that quite a few of them - and I would definitely include EP7 in that - are not very good.
Having said that, they're still one of my favourite bands...

i started with confield/draft and was never really able to go backwards with the older material. it was pretty-much forward-on from that point. lots of tunes i really like, but by starting at confield it certainly had an affect.

EP7 is great imo. Especially Dropp and Pir. Tri Rep's second disc is great, that alone beats boring chiastic. Chiastic isn't too difficult or whatever, just boring apart from cichli and nuane.

Well, if you mean that Kind of Blue is a better record than A Love Supreme, I'd say you're right.

Wow, Pen Expers is the centerpiece and everything around it is the explanation. Sim Gishel? No love? When the bass drops in on that shit I wet myself. No love for Bine? For Eidactic or whatever? For Cfern?
Come on. You have to love Perhelic Triangle. Uviol? This stuff is beautiful. Their most perfectly produced, endlessly intricate, godsend of a recording.
Tri Repetae is amazing in its own way, but it isn't the same thing. Confield is a long way ahead of its time.

I find Confield a little dull, but Pen Expers is 10/10, an amazing track. I much prefer the Gantz Graf EP to Confield.

Krendo, i think generally chiastic slide is one of their most intensive sound design efforts. And the only reason i said it might have been too ahead of its time to keep a lot of the fans interested is because that was my initial impression of listening to it, that it was too abrasive too experimental and not the calm ambient Autechre that i had grown to love.

Yeah, I was just listening to Chiastic Slide in the car. It has some of my favorite Ae sounds, and such a strong emotional atmosphere. I don't think tewe is a boring track at all - it's very intricate and it has a lot of depth. A very enjoyable listen overall, apart from one or two overly repetitive tracks.

A nice fossil from the past depicting how 'music' for humans used to spread via viral mouth to mouth advertising. It has been preserved very well. Thanks to carbon dating we can even figure out that 'University of Glamorgan, Wales. on 2001-11-13 23:46' means that this post is about 6 years old. Simply amazing.

Oh my god, krendo's avatar gave me an idea: a superhero named Plaidman and he shoots awesome plaid patterns from his hand as weapons and wears plaid clothes of the finest plaid quality. Often times he doesn't even have to attack because the enemy gets stunned from his fantastic outfits.

Having now heard a fair bit of Autechre, I have decided that whilst I respect what they do, the Garbage EP is the only thing they've done that I really couldn't live without, the way I couldn't live without, say, SAW 2. I must confess, I haven't heard Quaristice yet.
