I just can´t produce such a list. For the same reasons as other users have provided.

One thing is what you play most, another thing is what you gain from listening to the more demanding stuff.

At least I think so.

Confield, Tri rep and Draft I all value above the rest though.

01 draft 7.30

02 untilted

03 tri repetae

04 confield

05 oversteps

06 chiastic slide

07 quaristice

08 lp5

09 amber

10 incunabula

I can't be arsed to think about it, but I have learned reading this that I need to get Draft.

1. tri repetae

Still my favourite, best drum samples and synths, reverb and use of voice IMO.

then probably

2. confield,

3. anvil vapre/garbage,

4. gantz graf (mainly for the title track/vid)

5. quaristice+versions+quadrange

6. untilted,

7. chiastic slide

8. draft 7.30

9. amber/incunabula/ep7

I really need to give Envane and LP5 more of a listen (according to u forum acolytes). I don't own these 2 yet, LP5 is really hard to find for some reason. Oversteps will slot in the middle somewhere I guess, which is cool, cos draft/untilted/quaristice all had to climb to their positions over 6 months +

i couldnt possibly make a list because they change a lot. the only thing that doesnt rotate is untilted. that remains in my number one slot no doubt. its just perfect. i listen to that and lp5 the most.

For some reason LP5 doesn't do it for me as much as most of the others. I think it's the melodies, they're quite cheerful. Also a lot of the stuff on there seems less fragmented than everything after. I really love when shit gets diced and unhinged sounding.

Lp5 feels like tipping point for me. I love that it's not as straight forward as tri rep but not as complex as confield. It's a tranisitional moment in their sound and I like listening to it happen

LP5 def in my top 3. Took only one play for me to fall in love with. I agree with Jules, It has traces of what made Amber so great and yet the sound is becoming more complicated.

777 has been getting some serious play recently. It's in my current top ten tracks.

I just think it sounds quite dated (some of the synths used are real old school). that doesn't make it bad, just less timeless unlike amber, which still sounds fresher than the rest of their 90's material. IMO.

I'm guessing it's at least partly an age/'when did you first hear ae' thing. I will resist the tempatation to go on a rant about... oh fuck it.

If you wish to make any further posts in this thread you should clearly state:

nationality

year you first heard ae and which album

social class and level of education

I will then decide whether your opinion is actually worth anything.

I think 'last 5 youtube comments' is a better way to judge value of opinions
