 (4 Customer Reviews)
Consummate musical technocrats, Autechre, have been leading the charge of post-digital experimentation since their arrival on the U.K. music scene in the early `90s. While their earliest efforts contained reference points in the more earthbound rhythms from early hip-hop, electro, and ambient electronica, later albums delved further into realms of abstraction and rhythmic deconstruction. On 2001's CONFIELD, Autechre drafted perhaps their boldest statement yet, leaving some fans clamoring for the pastoral ambience and gentle beatscapes of yore. Never ones to fall back on familiar routines, the group here seem of a piece with the post-millennial "clicks-and-cuts" aesthetic of experimental electronica. From bracingly jagged overflows of programmed polyrhythms and error-ridden DSP processing, to oblique compositional strategies, Autechre display a mastery of building musical structure by way of a healthy shot of lateral thinking.
Autechre: Sean Booth, Rob Brown.
Spin (8/01, pp.134,136) - 7 out of 10 - "...A series of 6-minute tracks that set some sort of richly spastic texture-beats agianst ethereal drone-shimmers....balancing noise and beauty with a honed sense of conviction youmight call aesthetic morality..."
Alternative Press (7/01, pp.62-3) - 8 out of 10 - "...The future of IDM...cementing Autechre's name in the pantheon of sonic visionaries..."
Mojo (Publisher) (5/01, p.110) - "...The mind-boggling intricasies and moody, broody sound-sculpting...find Autechre zooming off leaving followers eating cosmic dust..."
NME (Magazine) (5/12/01, p.41) - 8 out of 10 - "...More surgical sonic detritus, it is Autechre nuanced, minutely reprocessed and at the top of their game..." Confield Music Review Average Rating: (4.8 out of 5 stars)  new ground
these musicians and composers place you on a limp funky horse and lead you into areas of music where you have barely been before, open your ears and you and your horse will encounter a vibrant and exciting musical creature. But you have to listen. This is the best electronic album I have ever heard.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No the most beautifully programmed electronica out today
Im a big fan of electronic music, and this by far is the strangest, and most detailed work i have heard besides the rdj album.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No  Poised
English duo Autechre continues to venture on the outskirts of electronica with another sterling collection of distorted melodies and seemingly mechanical bleeps and noises, which beguilingly amalgamate to form a musical union despite lacking in a specific song structure. Defying all musical convention and formulae, Autechre fearlessly progresses to make daring and intriguing music for the adventurous listeners.

Confield CD music
$13.79 
Inspired to get back to basics after the release of the Trainer retrospective, Plaid returned in 2001 with an LP of tough machine music, closer to the melancholy beatbox style of their mid-'90s singles than the rangy, dynamic sound of 1999's Rest Proof Clockwork. Except for the cycling guitar-like lines on the opener "Eyen," there aren't many traditional-sounding instruments on ...

For their sophomore long-player, reclusive Scots Boards of Canada depart slightly from the rainy-day psyche-tronica of their much-lauded 1998 release, MUSIC HAS THE RIGHT TO CHILDREN. Here the emphasis is as much on beats as atmosphere, but the duo's undeniable genius for conjuring up a sweet nostalgia for futures past still pervades. On "Dandelion," a voice that sounds an awful lot like actor Leslie Nielsen discusses underwater volcanoes in a sample from an old educational film, making what ...

| | EBN Telecommunication Breakdown CD (1995)
Confield songs
$14.65
The CD version of TELECOMMUNICATION BREAKDOWN can be played using either a multimedia equipped computer (for sound and pictures) or an audio CD player. Included is a floppy disc interactive CD booklet.
Samples include "Jungle Boogie" (as performed by Kool & The Gang), "Foxy Lady" (Jimi Hendrix), "Taxi Driver" (Bernard Hernmann) and "Aladdin Sane" (David Bowie).
This is an elaborate treat that snuck past a lot of critics and potential audience when it was released back in 1995. The packaging for the CD came with some serious multimedia perks; certainly ahead of its time. The built-in CD-ROM features allow the listener/viewer the option of going through the whole disc with its own CD player software, occasionally alerting the viewer to videos where applicable. There are three altogether, but always available are some basic television images flashing on the computer screen plus controls to modify them (fast, slow, distorted, etc.). Lyrics are available to scroll down for each track, plus tour and contact information. Also present is a quick showcase of EBN's equipment, such as their impressive video image sampler as well as a demonstration of their absurd and amusing golf-bag rocket launcher. For buyers who didn't have a CD-ROM drive, never fear -- a floppy disc is also included in the sleeve to provide some basic multimedia wall of sound eye candy. But ...

Confield music CDs

Alog have been with Rune Grammofon since their debut album Red Shift Swing was released in 1999. Already a mature and original collection, their sound has since been perfected through their second album, Duck-Rabbit, and concert activities before arriving with Miniatures, their third and in our view best and most consistent album. The title is inspired by Turkish miniature paintings, where the rules can be as follows: No shadows, no mixed colours, no perspective, no facial characteristics, no uniqueness of objects. Only pure radiant coloured objects configured in mysterious patterns. Whether these rules are applied to the music of Alog is open to discussion, but there´s no doubt that there are similarities of expression. And there´s no doubt that Kim Hiorthoy has taken this into account ...
