It's got what sounds like a heavily timestretched string
section that runs all the way through the track. Nothing too
substantial but it complements the unsettling nature of the
track. I think.

Haha.. no no no.
A collection of arbitrary songs is exactly what I'm saying
Confield is *not*.
You're just trying to get a rise out of me aren't you? :*)

did you stamp the floor saying that, like a hyperactive 8
year old? :-)

okay i get it all
but whatever it is i would have liked a good melody
you all know the remix of it from the competition, in that
you can hear the melody more clear: do you think that's a
good melody
especially the smaller bit of the two melodie parts i find
weak

I don't think that the melody is weak, not at all... i can't
imagine another melody in Pen expers... the structure is
complex enough !
Bob i dont agree with you... i think Uviol and Lentis
catachresis are great. The others tracks are not weak at
all... just difficult to get into and i agree that some
can't be loved by everybody. But when i play this album, at
no moment i feel bored. Never (since i've almost understand
it).
OK the songs are maybe not the best of all electronic music
times... But for me no one is uninteresting, each is
independant of the others and really worth getting into.
But with those 9 songs together, Confield is probably the
best album i've ever heard.

i'd hit the chick in uviols avatar.

anyway, cap.iv's melody is better imo, it does the noise
beats vs chord thing better, pen expers in a classic though,
i love it.
and no i don't think the melody is weak.

and to another poster who said the last 2 tracks on confield
is weak, DUDE?
have you even heard uviol? that shit is the best.

man.. confield owns, all of it.

the effects on the melody sound like the aural equivalent of
a neon light flickering on and off

If you removed everything except the chords you would have a
pretty good ambient track. It is very interesting to observe
the way the volume of the "melody" goes periodically up and
down while simultaneously the volume of the individual notes
change in a different ratio... I entirely disagree with some
posts in other threads claiming that autechre is full of
repetition...

No other melody would have worked on Pen Expers. End of
discussion. Eh! It's all about it's struggle versus other
portions of that track, how some parts of the melody get
stronger sometimes, weaker at other places, it's like 5
fingers trying to reach out to another rock doing some
mountain climbing.
