Ah Confield. My absolute favourite Autechre album! 

I agree!

Yeas Confield is the best!
I still cannot understand Sean saying Pen Expers was made on a DMX drum machine and a MiniDisc! 

How can you make sounds and play on a Minidisc like a Instrument? 

Please someone explain

Pen Expers is my favourite on the album. One of thier best imho.

There just something about it I find so fascinating and amazing. I'm not sure what it is!

Confield is almost a quarter century old.. yes, almost all if not all the magic is retained, because it really opened the floodgates in a way even other Autechre hadn't yet done at that point.

I think it'll remain one of my favourites by them. Like you said, retains all of the magic. Fascinating album!

For some reason I never really returned to Confield. I've been an Autechre fan for years and years and I think I had, up until a few weeks ago, only listened to it around 4 times. It never clicked with me because for some reason I though the sounds used on the album are kind of grating. Draft also has that problem for me but those tracks morph so much that it didn't matter that much to me. Confield on the other hand meanders way more and develops its tracks less.

Last week I put the album on after a couple of years and all of a sudden I flew through it. It just clicked with me. I can finally appreciate the feverish, manic weird ass qualities this album treasures within it. VI Scope Poise is just beautiful, Pen Expers is a banger, Parhelic Triangle scares me because it sounds like something is eating my speakers. Eideitic Casein feels like one of those fever dream things you have where images grow bigger, smaller and wider whenever you close your eyes (Idk if anyone experiences that or if its just me) and Lenthic Catachresis is just so fucking crunchy.

I love it all! It only took years of diving into their other stuff to appreciate it.

We have another believer. Now go forth and spread the word of Con across the field of people!

Oh yeah!

Blasted this out on vinyl not too long ago. It doesn't get much better than this!!

Talking about Confield has made me want to listen to it. Got it on as we speak!

Why did he dub it at the end...he knew the kids needed something to 'happen'.

all I have to say is how fucking good is VI Scose Poise.

Very.

I had this mazda carol soft top in 2002. Tiny car. But it had a sick stereo. This album in that car was amaze. 

The average masses reaction to Pen Expers would have been interesting. But Sim Gishel is a good pick.

Gonna get killed on this but I prefer albums rather than hours and hours of live sets

I also prefer albums! 

Did u know there is someone on Reddit that splits up all their live sets to tracks and uploads it in album fashion? 
It feels way more easier to digest and coming back to when u want to hear some specific part. 

Yeah, that's AE_LIVE2022 and Elseq6-10, good stuff.

Funny how Fourtet is knob twiddling throughout the track as if he is contributing to how it sounds.

What a twat. And that hat
