Having been disspointed in some of their other albums, I did something I never thought I would ever do, and bought Confield. My God! It is amazing! It's complex, scary, atmsopheric and masterful.. (although I'd like more of those weird, slow "bell" tracks in the middle of the album....hmmm) I hope this signifies their new direction, as I am now very interested in their music. Who agrees it's way better than the new DVD single?

I liked the grantz graf track at first, but now I'm not so fond of it (although it IS great with the video)

The main reason I prefer Confield to anything else they have done is because of it's dark, beautiful, atmosohere. I, personally, don't find their other stuff as complex OR as emmotional as Confield (apart from Amber, but I've grown tired of that for some reason)

I'm suprised how people have changed their minds about confield. When it was first released people thought it was just noisy garbage... but now some people are hailing it as a masterpiece.

I hated Confield for a while. I got into it once I listened to it more. Gantz Graf stinks though, to be honest. I hope their next LP is done with more care than Gantz Graf seemed to have been done. Cap.IV is all right, I guess.

"more care than Gantz Graf"..?
have you missed all the layers, all the textures in there? the whole track hangs on details..
anyway.. confield is a masterpiece, but I said that from the beginning HA HA HA!

Gantz Graf is shit compared to Confield. What I can't stand is when people say, ''but you have to see the VIDEO to 'understand' it!''
... What's there to understand? The music is lackluster, seeing some fancy designs isn't going to make it any better... and if I'm driving in a car listening to some Autechre, I can't be watching the DVD at the same time! I'll mow down an old lady or something.

i agree with qrter, the video is just an added bonus to visualize the song, i visualize the video in my head sometimes. the song does have a lot of detail and it takes quite a few listens to here them all.

also just because some of you dont like gantz graf doesnt mean its bad, thats just your opinion. so many of you hated confield when it came out and now like it so dont continue that same frame of mind when you hear new autechre.

I have complete faith in autechre. If I don't get something they do, I know my ears just need time to catch up to them.
They have proven this point with every release since Chiastic.
Of course this gives them the license to release an utter piece of tripe and have it preemptively hailed as a masterpiece that will only be appreciated years hence.
Hasn't happened yet.
Has it?

i think autechre just wanted to use the dvd format. they seem to like new gagets and technologies ...i mean look at their use of the minidisc...now dvd. it was just so they could say they have a dvd. maybe im wrong but it would make sense.

i tried to get into confield... then i realised that trying to get into something doesn't work. i don't think it's a very good album.

Am I the only person that thinks VI Scose Poise is a really good piece?
Parhelic Triangle is actually quite terrifying, in my opinion. I really like it. It's so organic.

vi scose poise is AWESOME!! i love it for sure. and yeah parhelic triangle scared me the first time. it still resembles a mass of people being hypnotized. that and a sea of droneful, depressed, bouys (those water things for ships) ... like millions of them...just swaying in some alien world's wind... totally dark out..lots of black / purple / grey

What's with the name, "Confield"? Was it supposed to be cornfield, but they forgot the "r"?

I think Confield is a great LP ! But in my opinion Autechre tracks need a good HiFi-Stereo. I think for Gantz Graf its espacially important to dig all layers and Details.

yeah. corny, huh? ;)
anyway i've always felt that gg has a symbiotic relationship with its video. you can't have either one without the other
as for confield: in hindsight, you can pretty much extrapolate from lp5 and ep7 what it was going to sound like. that doesn't mean it isn't a great album. just not the evolutionary leap one might have expected.
personally i think that the track cap.iv is far more advanced than anything off confield, and so it would be silly to call gg a confield b-side.
