Guest NC23 Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 Hi guys, I've been a fan of Boards of Canada, Squarepusher and Aphex Twin for ages and been thinking of getting into Autechre for a while now. I know opinions vary - but which is the best album to start with as they have a lot of them (and which are widely available)? Other artists not on the Warp that I'm into of the same genre include Loscil and Carbon Based Lifeforms; thanks!

DorkingtonPugsly Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 I started with Confield. No regrets. But maybe start with the '97 outputs, like Chiastic Slide. But as I've failed to get any of my friends into Autechre, don't take my advice...

Guest M360 Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 (edited) This wikipedia article ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autechre#History ) puts the albums into what is considered their trilogies or eras; I'd listen to one era at a time. I started listening after the shuttle had launched but that hardly matters when you're talking about the electronic perfection that is Autechre. Confield was my first listen and blew me away.

Guest RadarJammer Posted June 9, 2013 Report Share Posted June 9, 2013 if you were trying to trick an average Backstreet Boys fan into listening to Autechre I would say maybe Tri Repetae or something but since its for yourself I suggest to just man up and plow through starting at just about any album.

Danny O Flannagin Posted June 9, 2013 Report Share Posted June 9, 2013 Autechre is one of those artists which is really interesting to go through chronologically. Also, they're debut is fairly accessible. I personally think there sound gets more and more experimental throughout the years so its best to get introduced to their newer sounds chronologically. They never really stick to one sound so it's interesting to hear the progression. Don't forget the EPs as well!

Guest NC23 Posted June 9, 2013 Report Share Posted June 9, 2013 Wow, thanks for all the replies, much appreciated! Another question - anyone know any other good websites where I can purchase these in CD form apart from the usual Amazon, Play, etc? I understand some of their earlier work it put of print maybe? Rather have a CD than mp3 files. Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/79266-best-autechre-album-for-a-beginner/#findComment-2020688 Share on other sites More sharing options...
