i dont want it "out there" just yet. maybe one day when i'm famous (hahahaha) |
||||||||
|

bine bine bine bine its just amazing. |
||||||||

confield is their best... no question in my mind... they set out terrain for themselves... and flesh it out completely... often there is the illusion of repetition, when truly... it's constantly changing... gorgeous, terrifying, tactile... my favourite tracks are Cfern, Parahelic Triangle, Bine, and Uviol... |
||||||||
|

|
k :) make sure you become famous soon then :P |

Cornfeld is amazing, whether or not Earthdobbin thinks so or not. END OF STORY. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
yeah cornfeld.. uh.. ..what? |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
oh yes |

LP5 is my current favorite... with Confield, there seems to be too many songs that don't really hit me that much, whereas LP5 I've been enjoying completely recently! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"Bine" smothers me... "That's a good thing"!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, confield is a great album, indeed, one of the best releases 2001, not only in electronic music, i think, but my fav CD of ae is EP7 and speaking of albums: Chiastic Slide is much better :-) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
great album, better than Draft 7.30 imo. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
shit..i need to give confield a spin...been far too long i listened to that masterpiece |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
prefer chiastic. Love the first track though |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
first track is my fav too |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
interesting that I'm seeing alot of "chiastic slide" is their best when I'm told that they themselves were not very happy with that album. if I remember correctly they said "it wasn't a very good follow up to tri repatae" but then I could be totally wrong. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
That doesn't mean they weren't happy with it. It just means it wasn't a very good follow up to tri repetae. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes but I recall them saying they weren't happy with it, I think it's interesting that alot of people hold it as one of their favorites and autechre themselves weren't very happy with it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Amazing album!! But Tri Repetae is still the best ae-album for me... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah I heard they weren't too happy about Chiastic Slide-dunno why, it's great! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Anyone got a link for this Chiastic rumour? I just thought that "Nothing" records in America thought it was shite - and originally refused to release it - I didn't know Ae did as well. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
For fuck's sake. They NEVER said they weren't happy with it. Simply that it was not a good follow up to Tri Repetae, which is not necessarily a negative comment at all. The only time I have heard ae talk negatively about a release is when they were asked what they thought about thom yorke saying LP5 was the best album ever or something and they were like "oh well we've done much better than that". |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I saw that comment at allmusic.com And the "bad follow up to Tri Repetae" could be taken as negative. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

I lent my copy to my brothers girlfriends brother about a year ago. They've split now but I must get it back!!! It hurts my CD wallet when it's gone. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Not at all, it just means it was a bad follow up to tri rep. Maybe they didn't want to do a follow up to it? It makes sense to me that they wanted chiastic slide to be a standalone album rather than some kind of successor to tri repetae. Besides, no one knows the original interview with the quote, so this is all chinese whispers |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
who cares anyway, it's an album with a very powerful atmosphere and very crunchy beats! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the only track i've really dug was Parhelic Triangle but thats cause i haven't bothered to actually understand the other tracks. its cause i wasn't really interested in the other songs in the first place... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i really really really really really like this |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes you are right my friend. It is fantastic. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm in too ae and all but I really haven't given this album a chance as a whole. Don't know why. I'm listening through it all now for the first time. I've only listened to 1 and 1 track and of those pen expers and eidetic casein sounded good for the first time, kinda easy listening tracks imo. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
'cfern' and 'pen expers' are genius tracks. i'm totally stunned by them - i can listen to them over and all over again - never got tired of them. |

When you listen to some music perhaps on a different hifi or in a club or pub, you hear things you've never heard before. With confield, even on the same hifi, the same room, the same headphones, the same eardrums; I still listen to it and hear things which are new. The intricate programming on this album is great, even when I know the song inside-out, back-to-front, its never 100% predictable. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
they made this album by shaking a box of cheerios and putting the sound through filters. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think it sucks. "Pen Expers" is pretty rockin' though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
those beats in lentic catachresis... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Jarworski put it right: "I haven't yet discovered the merits of Confield, still sounds like a load of bollocks at the moment To some people it always will :)" That´s what I think too, I can´t stand it... "Confield" was the first Ae release I didn´t want to buy. |

So I was sitting in the park today listening to Confield, which a very enjoyable experience that I'd recommend to anyone, and it struck me that Confield is very natural. The convention of having 4 beats in a bar and all that technical music stuff is entirely arbitrary and historical and only seems to be natural due to its standardization. Confield in many respects is much closer to nature. The songs all have some kind of pattern or template to begin with, and where they end up is largely determined by chaos. Sean and Rob, being masters of this little sonic world, are able to influence the development of the songs by modifying their environment. The songs aren’t just written, they’re grown. By growing different versions of the songs, they can pick the ones they think turned out the best and use those in their creative process. Thinking of this while listening to the music and observing the plants and things around me made me feel that Confield is actually a very warm album. It’s not the sound of cold machines or a sterile electronic environment. It’s the sound of things coming to life in musical form. Some sound alien, some are more familiar. Some are extremely chaotic, others seem to stick more closely to a pattern, but each song has a certain life to it and I don’t think any single album has pushed things forward more than Confield. |

||||||||
|
|

I was around the Asian center on the UBC campus. Beautiful scenery. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
Holy crap, you're at UBC? Where do you live? I'm in Gage |
||||||||

This picture doesn't do it justice, but is the asian center. That picture was taken pretty much from the bench I was sitting on. |

i suppose i rather prefer amber, or tri repetae.. but this noisy clicky style is their mark. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
can't stand it personaly, i can only manage about 3 minutes of it then it just starts to really grate on me and annoy me and i have to turn it off. |
||||||||
|
|

mneh, its an ok release... The problem with autechre (on quite a few of these songs and the ones on Draft) is that they dont go anywhere. Case in point: Uviol, incredibly beautiful but after 4 or 5 minutes it becomes total wank and you can tell that they've run out of ideas for this track. VI Scose Poise and Eidetic Casein are the most well rounded as actual songs and not just sounds spewed annoyingly all over the room like an all-you-can-drink frat party. |

Confield is excellent. I think it evokes the alien landscapes as well as SAW2 does. It never seems to get boring, unless you thought it was in the first place. |
