Yuss, Autechre are very much about the endings. The moving from A->B, whihc I always thought they weren't so hot on in Confield.

Huh, I always thought that the transitions between tracks on Confield were especially strong. (Maybe I should have posted this on the Confield thread so as to bring 5 Autechre pollz onto the front page.)
ledge, thanks, it's been instructive for me as well as, in some points, a surprise and delight, especially with this album. First two tracks are the strongest, I think -- very warm Amber-esque (maybe even Incunabula-esque) melodies, but with contorted Confield beats == the direction I wish B&B had immediately gone in this past decade.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Went with "r ess" if only because the beats are much more coherent to me, but "ilanders" came rilly close.

went with yuop, it's just such a perfect ending for this album

most of my relistening the last few weeks have all been on earbuds and I had never really noticed before the percentage of autechre that is recorded in mono
this album is not in mono
― Milton Parker, Saturday, 25 December 2010 21:18 (thirteen years ago) link

cannot believe this thing is 71 minutes long. it really breezes by.
I think every tune is great but in particular d-sho qub and Treale = wow
― frogbs, Thursday, 28 April 2016 14:59 (seven years ago) link
d-sho qub is one of the very best latter-day Ae tracks.

Elsewhere, Taborn reimagines some of the sound of the saxophonist’s past groups—most memorably in his work on a tune like “Beyond All Limits,” where his vaulting intervals stand in for some of the more thickly orchestrated material from Lehman’s octet. And he also knows when to pull back, as on “qPlay,” the Autechre cover. After establishing some of the harmony from the original track, the pianist hangs in the background, allowing the song to become a feature for Brewer and Reid, who jointly adapt Autechre’s unpredictably pulsing electronic sound for jazz-quartet context.

d-sho qub would’ve been my vote

kinda think this is the jazziest autechre record
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Wednesday, 18 November 2020 04:22 (three years ago) link
good lord, known(1) is my least favorite track on this. d-sho would have been mine too, so alas, we could have had a tie.
― octobeard, Wednesday, 18 November 2020 05:27 (three years ago) link
side note - I kinda wish we could vote on these again... I feel the Autechre fanbase present on ILM has grown considerably over the years.
look everyone put on a few kilos over lockdown, there's no need to get personal about it

I love jazzy Autechre. EP7 and Incunabula are also pretty jazzy in places
― Specific Ocean Blue (dog latin), Wednesday, 18 November 2020 11:32 (three years ago) link
d-sho qub only getting one vote is indeed weird.
that is weird, but hardly anyone voted in this poll.
Looks like I voted for yuop, which I still think is the correct choice.
― silverfish, Wednesday, 18 November 2020 17:29 (three years ago) link
4. "pt2ph8" 4:10 0
actually maybe this would've been my vote, it merges beautifully
think this is my second fav autechre record
