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.

Love Garbage, when I was putting my ballot together, its ambient vibe just hit me in the right spot: mournful and beautiful.

Checking my list I actually had Garbage at number 2. Oops. Imago, agreed about the draft artwork. Wish I had that on vinyl.

I realized when listening to albums in order to put together a ballot that I never completed that in fact, the recent Autechre is the band I love most. Didn't expect that.

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 (nine 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!!

Their sound has come to define drill-n-bass
hmmmmmmm ...
So, rather than looking at Autechre as a crappy, self- indulgent, overly- experimental release from an otherwise brilliant band
It's their least experimental release by far -- that's why I've never been high on it!
In a personal aside, I think "LP5" was the most I ever paid for a new CD (non-special edition, box set, etc.) I was in Ottawa and I could only find one good store for electronic music. I think I paid 33 CDN -- the price only added to my disappointment about the quality of the album.
― NoTimeBeforeTime, Monday, 29 September 2014 08:45 (nine years ago) link
LP5 is brilliant. Very surprised at EP7 not making it - sometimes it's my favourite thing they ever did.
― zip it shrimpy (dog latin), Monday, 29 September 2014 09:03 (nine years ago) link
The one I don't get the love for is Tri Repetae - always saw that as a transitional album between old and mid-period Autechre with too much reliance on crunchy hip hop beats (not bad in themselves) but not enough melodic touches.

Especially since yours and my Autechre tastes seem to occupy polar opposites. Always foudn the Confield through Untilted period hard going.
― Non-Stop Hongrotic Cabaret (dog latin), Monday, 29 September 2014 10:13 (nine years ago) link
#1 vote for Go Sheep was mine and Envane was top of my albums picks.
I've sold two copies of Keynell; don't like it all that much, bit dour (LOL). The remixes on Warp are a much better thing IMO.
I had a copy of Cavity Job that I got for £4 in a Music & Video Exchange.
― Noel Emits, Monday, 29 September 2014 11:10 (nine 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 (four 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.
