The Other Confield Thread

i love this album as well, but its originality has been
taken down a notch after hearing the OST (yes the band not
"original sound track) album called - Seimlste. It sounds
like confield, while it came out at almost the same time,
has a lot of paralells with this album. OST has been making
music like this for years, where as autechre only started
once they took OST along on a US tour. for those Confield
fans i highly recommend checking out Seimlste. Its like
confields darker cousin. Not trying to knock sean and rob
but Its interesting to hear a relatively obscure electronic
artist that may have influenced Autechre, i felt similar
when i checked out Explorers We by Farmers manual.

Well I'll be happy to check them out, but I'm not sure what
it means to say Autechre started making new sort of music
with Confield. There is logical progression from Tri
Repetae, Chiastic Slide and EP5.

i like draft better, but thats only cause i didnt understood
confield when it was released and because draft is more easy
to listen to me...

i also agree with boxbob with ae evolution, i think that
draft (and confield) developed one aspect of ae's music that
had been always there. thats why i like draft (and confield
and untilted), cause it let me relisten previous ae
discography and enjoy it again, rediscovering new things and
ideas.

i'm sharing it on slsk atm. same username as here.
@jackeroffer: i wouldn't compare o.s.t.s (dalglishs/rook
vallades/whatever) music with autechres in that way but
blah... since you seem to be an enthusiast like me i want to
ask you if you
got the "does not play with others" album... been tryin to
find it on slsk for an eternity (yeah yeah, i'd consider
buying
it, too, if i heard it before... most of his stuff is out of
print, tho,
so wtf)

i think its possible that autechre is influenced by other
electronic artists namely farmers manual and OST. OST has
always made very dark forboding idmish/experimental/glitch
music with lots of dark ambient background noises (long
before EP7). Chiastic Slide also probably had an influence
on OST. EP7, and confield *could* have been influenced by
OSTs music. Im not saying it was for sure, but it sounds
like it to my ears. Farmers manual probably had a more
direct influence on Autechre, namely Gescom: Minidisc which
was pretty much their version of Fm's Explorers We.
Autechre's music is very unique and always will be, but to
claim that everything they do is totally original and not
influenced by others in the genre is slightly silly.
