Autechre – Confield

All these years later, to my ears Pen Expers is a continuation of VLetrmx, the sun shining into your room :-)

Happy 24 birthday Confield, April 30, 2025

Well, this is one of the cleanest pressings I've heard.

Wow.... Autechre always sounds amazing on vinyl, but this is somethin else.

First disk came with lots of dust and particles from the inner sleeve and some minor scratches on it, which thankfully didn't affect the sound at all. Dead silent. Second disk came clean and without scratches. But Warp, please, for the love of god use the polylined inners for all of your releases. They cost absolutely nothing and yet they save your customers from frustration of spending 30 bucks on the record and getting it scratched and covered with junk. PLEASE DO IT!

One of the best record I own in of sound quality. The most unique album I listened to. It makes me feel like I'm somewhere else and I like it.

got a copy from a flea market for 5 euros and realised only when i was home that i only had disc 2...
both sleeves are now taped on my wall with the disc in between them, it looks pretty cool haha
i dont feel like buying disc 1 from anyone to be fair so i'll on that :)

Is there any visual difference from this promo release vs original regular release? looking on covers and records itself, nothing tells me it's a promo release...???

One of my favorite record from them.
Unfortunately, a lot of surface noises on A side. . .. .
Uviol is the most jazzy track they ever made.

just want to say this is my favourite pressing i own sound wise

i've never really been able to vibe with this album, even though i actually quite like a good chunk of autechre's modern stuff. i just kinda feel like they shat the bed with this one. i mean, don't get me wrong, there are a few good tracks here, like "Uviol" & "VI Scose Poise", its just that most of them are kinda "meh", if you get what i mean.
