well, I never really got too into autechre until
recently. I've got 4 of their cds now, and I like ep7
and lp5 more than tri repeate and incalculab. And I
listened to the sound samples of confield at the warp
records site and thought it seemed way more accessible
than ep7, so i'm definitely going to pick it up.
What i like about recent AE is the way ep7 is so
ridiculously demanding. many of the songs involve a
lot of concentration to understand what's going on, at
least for me. there are 4 or 5 tracks that i just flat
out like every time i hear them, and then there are
other tracks that occasionally hit me as brilliant and
othertimes just leave me a bit confused.
And as for Aphex, re: shotty-ness, SAW 2, RDJ, and
Windowlicker are my fav aphex records. SAW 2 is what
got me into idm/ambient back in my freshman year of
college when i was otherwise just into grindcore and
hardcore punk. Since then i've picked up everything i
can get by aphex (still need donkey rhubarb damnit),
and the only record that didn't impress me that much
was SAW 1. I couldn't see what was ambient about a
record FULL of beats. I'll give it another listen soon though.
