Yeah, I started that topic about Zeiss Contarex, that is one SEXY track!!! I'm actually listening to Confield right now, on Pen Expers. I have the volume up to the max, and I'm sure the neighbours can hear it loud and clear... it's a wonder I don't get arrested. |

I lent a friend of mine ICBYD, and he said it was pretty cool... I'm gonna have to lend him some Autechre now... TOTALLY BLOW HIS MIND!!!!!! :) |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
Eh, careful with that Autechre... may not blow his mind... didn't blow MY mind when I heard them at first, I was underwhelmed... those guys take some getting used to! But when you DO get used to them, they blow your mind every time you hear them. :-) |

and sure it's not as freaky as some of their newer stuff, but Incunabula is a gem of an album... very good for what it is, nice old school ambient techno... |

Yesterday I tried again to listen ep7... but nothing... I don't like it much. It has the similiar style of Confield but it isn't so deep and fascinating, imo. I think Confield has much more melodies than ep7, and it's more brilliant. |

Does anyone else think that the bouns track on the Jap. version was kinda a BAD pick for a closing track? |
||||||||

a japanese mate told me that they stick extra tracks on cd's over there coz there so expensive, so it's not really intended to be there. pen expers, is a really old track, u can here it on there live in coachella recording from 98,99? (canny remember) |
||||||||
|

|
|
i do reckon the new sound of autechre wiil be similar to pen expers, mutating/rotating beats |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
but pen expers is not the bonus track.... Its a live version of MQuarter...something like that, i do not have the cd here... Pen Expers is dope though=) |

mcr quater is from band on the wall in manchester '99 or somit. what i was saying was some of these tracks are really old and they should get round to releasing something new, but not just the dvd as i don't have a player |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

um.. Im just gonna add my name to this list. I think Confield is brilliant. I've been listening to it almost every day for 2 months. It sounds lame to say this but this album really takes time to get used to. It 8 months for me to totally understand it. ok..ya my fav. album right now for sure. ps. it has a shitload more coheirence than Lp5 or Ep8 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i do agree that confiels is a great peice of work..however, i felt when i listened to it that had an unknown artist made this album it would never had been released. for me, ep7 is their finist work |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
yeah,confield is a very cute album |

i'm signing my name up for this as well. it took me a few weeks of intense listening just to get my head around most of the content on the record. it's my favourite ae album, no doubt. it's amazing how they can put so much detail into a couple of minutes of music. every time i listen to it, i uncover new sounds and soundscapes, and it's terrifyingly beautiful to listen to. it sounds so mechanical and digital at first, but after a while, i sort of recognised some sounds or parts as sounds and stuff that is all around you everyday. much of it sort of sounds like a decomposing computer of some sort, that in the end just runs wild, and short circuits. confield is the soundtrack to the time just before everything hits the fan, and the blackout occurs. damn...i'm getting a tear in my eye just to think about it. i better put it on right away. |

great album, Confield! Vi Scose Poise : there is a big rusty machine in a disaffected factory, and this machine is forgotten and lonely... no one ever comes in there, but there are grates on the ceiling of the factory, and suddenly a rain of sunshine comes through the grates, on the lonely machine, and the machine has now found a companion, they fall in love together and it is beautiful, they both play music together and it is beautiful! : ) it is my favorite track. second favorite is Eidetic Casein (no images for this one though), third is Uviol (a beautiful purple starry night, on a planet only occupied by robots). the only tracks i like less are Bine (but i think it will grow on me, sounds like a grower), and Lentic Catachresis which i found deceiving because it sounded like a regression, like Ae tried to make a track like back in their middle lp5 period, unlike the rest of Confield which was a beautiful step forward... |

i have been listening to confield solid for the last few days. it's beautiful. one thing i have found is, even though i really enjoyed the album before, after hearing draft 7.30, i can appreciate confield even more. it's not that draft 7.30 is more complex, i think confield is the more technical of the two, but theres something about the two albums together that sort of unlock each other or something. i read somewhere that confield is sort of a blueprint for draft 7.30, but i think it works both ways |

"CONFIELD IS A PILE OF NON-MUSICAL RUBBISH!" ...at least that's what I thought the very first time I heard it ;). The second time it already was a lot better for me than the first time. You have to have the patience to listen to all the tracks in their entirety and they require the listener to be concentrated and, very important, willing to recognize the beauty and genius of this work. Confield is now nr. 2 in my list of best ae albums, with Amber on top. All tracks have their own distinct beauty. First there is VI Scose Poise, a very surprisingly soothing track for this album with an ambient melody causing even my grandfather to piss hiss pants. Pen Expers, with its lovely complicated neo-breakbeat. I love the way the melody "breaks through". Eidetic Casein keeps amazing me. The notes seem so off key and irregular but in some way the melody stays in your head and the true confield fans will still think it's beautiful (so do I). Then there's Uviol, hypnotic ambient track with an excellent soothing melody lying underneath. Finally Uviol merges into Lentic Catachresis, probably the best track on confield IMO. With this track, Sean and Rob dig every last ounce of capacity out of their equipment. It's as if they wanted their machines to do more than they can handle. This tracks is frenzied and manic and ends with 30 seconds of the juiciest glitch I've ever heard. A better closer to this album I cannot imagine. ....shit this is probably the longest post I've ever written, but I felt I wanted to express my immense appreciation for this masterpiece. :D |

for me this is the best release not only of autechre, but of any electronic musician ever |
