I've been listening to them since Incunabula (I still remember the jaw drop
when "Bike" started coming out of my speakers - it seemed like noone else
was doing that with music, at the time) - I missed Amber, and have yet to
hear anything from that one, which my friends tell me is a huge oversight,
and have every album, and a smattering of singles/eps thereafter. The
feeling I get from Autechre's music is that they are going somewhere with
it; to me, each album seems to represent a progression towards that, an
evolution of the style they developed in the previous release. So far I've
liked each of the stages - I don't think I'm a "disciple" as I'm fairly firm
in the conviction that I'll not buy their records if I don't like the sounds
therein... I think Lp5 is a great record, although I struggled with it at
first - Ep7 I've not listened to much, so I can't really pass comment,
beyond a vague feeling that I liked about half of it. Confield, I've owned
for two days, and on that short period of listening, I have to say, I
*really* like this one - side C seems to fit the description "difficult", at
least to my recollection, but the other tunes(?) grabbed me pretty much
immediately - I've a feeling that I'll be listening to this one a lot.

Personally, I like that mid period stuff - I'm not as fond of Trirepetae as
I am of Chiastic Slide, but I liked it.
