I didn't vote in the non-AE poll but voted for the Keynell EP in the other polls. Glad to see it getting so much love here, I've always thought it was way underrated even by hardcore fans.
I'm listening to some of the remixes I didn't have time to hear when I put together my ballot. I forgot how good the Slowly remix is! I'm not sure why I didn't vote for the HIA remix either -- I played that EP to death when it came out.

I'm the #1 voter for Garbage. I remember back in 1995 when music was expensive it was great getting a 40 minute album for the price of a single. Even if the music wasn't that great. However that wasn't the case here, two tracks on this still ones that kill me every time.

Voted for Draft 7.30, Confield, Untilted and Gantz Graf in that order. Will be using the tracks poll to direct any concerted further listening, but I've heard stuff from all the LPs at least, and this run of material, for me at least, stands out (above most music, let alone Autechre)

glad that gantz graf made the top 10. I almost voted it #1. It probably is their high point, but ended up voting confield #1 because there's just because it's a full album and there is therefore more stuff to enjoy.

Hah! I guess it shouldn't be a surprise that people were pining for the 'old' Autechre when LP5 came out.
― cichleee suite (Leee), Monday, 29 September 2014 06:19 (ten years ago) link
Was surprised that I couldn't find a place for Amber on my list. Always felt it was rough and an unfinished vision that was put into focus much, much better on subsequent EPs and Tri Repetae. Exai, while a touch bloated, is a sonic monster of beauty and nearly the best thing they've done. I somewhat regret not having Key Nell in my ballot. It's probably their best EP when all is said and done.

No Amber for me, either. I fact I was surprised at how little time I have these days for the albums prior to LP5 ... Still like 'em, just never seem to listen anymore. I would say it was down to over-familiarity, but I play the contemporaneous EPs all the time. Anti - Garbage - Anvil Vapre - Envane - Cichlisuite - Peel Session is a pretty formidable run.
Also, not enough love for Quaristice!!

I sort of group Draft thru Exai together in 'the doldrums', since I've never warmed to any of them quite as much as the previous stuff. I'm so glad I stuck with them regardless, since after that they rocketed back to absolute peak form.
― The Pingularity (ledge), Tuesday, 8 October 2019 19:33 (five years ago) link
my short opinions of those are
Confield = really cool but it makes me feel like I have the fluDraft = too abstract and backwards for me, still fascinating thoughUntilted = fucking rules, especially the first 3 tracks which are straight up bricks in the washerQuaristice = makes much more sense if you see it as a tribute to "computer music" as a whole. I don't like the whole "you have to curate this" aspect to it but the music is very goodOversteps = tis all a bit plinky plonky (Sean's words) but it gets you in such a cool zone. "d sho qub" is my favorite Autechre track ever. Move of 10 EP is awesome. proper bangers the likes of which they'd never done.Exai = the cure for not having a headache. I see the two discs as two separate albums, almost by necessity. I can't listen to it all at once. In retrospect kinda funny how they save stuff like "recks on" for the endelseq = can't forget my first impression here, "feed1" sounding like the most terrifying thing ever and my mouth just going agape during "elyc6 0nset"; it's totally broken down and there's still like 12 minutes to go. amazing stuff but heading a bit into "how much is too much" territoryNTS Sessions = jesus christ
― frogbs, Tuesday, 8 October 2019 20:03 (five years ago) link
I think my regard for Oversteps is highly determined by d sho qub
― frame casual (dog latin), Tuesday, 8 October 2019 21:06 (five years ago) link
I find it strange that someone could like Untitled and not Draft. But then Autechre has always been an aural magic eye picture so it's completely subjective
― frame casual (dog latin), Tuesday, 8 October 2019 21:07 (five years ago) link
off topic but 'Untilted' is a bitch of a word to write w/ all this autocorrect etc.
― Le Bateau Ivre, Tuesday, 8 October 2019 21:13 (five years ago) link
Untilted's rhythms go way harder and it doesn't feel like each percussive sound is constantly tumbling down a halfpipe. "6IE.CR" is fucking great though.
― frogbs, Tuesday, 8 October 2019 21:13 (five years ago) link
I feel kind of like that about Confield. The kick drum sound on Cfern hurts my brain, and Pen Expers sounds like someone hoovering up screws. Eidetic Casein sounds like thousand toy ambulances running out of batteries. There are some moments of respite (Uviol is lovely) but on the whole I just don't like the sound choices.
