I finally got Confield

I just got it today and have listened to the first half so
far... wow. I never really bought into all the hype, but
this really is some next level shit. The first track is
great, and the second kind of seems like a continuation of
it, these are my favorite.

another thing I notice is that it's really envoking strange
visual images in my brain more than any album has in awhile
besides Geogaddi... and they seem to be 'abnormial' images,
very weird

track 5 is the most visually stimulating... I picture a back
of strange and violant alien animals in a feeding frenzy
ripping a human carcass to shreds, and fighting for the
remains... anyone else get that?

I cannot ever get into this album. Don't know why...just
wont happen. Ah well, plenty of other quality ae to listen
to.

yeah track 5 (I think) called bine (i think) is an awesome
swarm of insects that mutate exponentially into pteradactyls
and hammers and back again while right in between 5
dimensions, constantly flipping existence from one to the
other.

confield is the album that has the most "texture". dont
know how to explain it, but it's a masterpiece for sure!

may i ask Y?

ehehhhe j/k grower of the corn!

thats the first CD i heard of AE and i based my opinion
(which was NOT positive) based on that CD. i'm glad since
then i've listened to their earlier work which i do enjoy.
but IMO that CD was just NOISE.....i kept thinking how do
they get away with this.....ehehhehe

=b

how do they get away with this- as if they're scamming
everybody out of their money by easily making some noise
with little thought or effort...

other stuff. for me this CD was just not something i'd pay
$$ for.

Confield is their 2nd best album (Tri-Repetae is 1st and
foremost)...easily their most solid output. None of the
lulling that went on in Chiastic Slide...none of the "too
clinical" listening of LP5...and the appropiate answer to
EP7...

BTW, that's not a bash on those other albums...it's just
Confield gets everything just about right in terms of an
Autechre album can be: well-programmed, layered and
textured, cutting-edge and willing to dare the listener into
accepting what Booth and Brown consider their "music"...

All in my IMO...:.)

Confield is a joke, how you can find anything to like in it
is beyond me...all there other stuff is like the second
coming though

confield is amazing

best album, followed very closely by chiastic slide

its relaxin to me...

i sleep to it, and zone out

once you can accept to let go of the standard idea of music,
it is amazing

Confield is like sitting down and getting blunted with an
alien who won't stop talking shit to you.

By that I mean it is good.

confield is a great album... it's very difficult... not
what you'd want to start a party with

i got it for free with an order off warpmart, and i liked it
to be honest when i just put it on while i was playing smash
bros melee, but i haven't listened to it since, might put it
on again when im on the long journey to my holiday, then i
can assess it prroperly
