Thought this was interesting in that AAA, from Booth:
tbh i think everything has some emotional element, but we're not really thinking about that when we do stuffit's not that we don't feel like emotions are important, more that it's hard for me to imagine a sound that doesn't convey some sense of something, and quite often when people discuss emotions in music they only think of happy or sad as being emotions, when imo emotions are a lot more than thate.g. if we put out a really angry track, then people rarely describe it that way. they would more likely say it was unlistenable or difficult, the emphasis moves from expression to design, maybe they just fail to recognise it as expressive if they think it's very technical

i get eidetic casein and lentic catachresis mixed up. tend to really like their last tracks don't know if it's just because i'm paying more attention. "teartear" is probably my favorite on amber. rsdio brings to mind "metronomic underground" by stereolab probably because i was listening to both these albums heavily around the same time in the late 90s being motivated by post-rock and i guess the basslines and tempos are sort of similar.

Copy paste disaster!
Bladelores pic = Wesley snipes. Vose in = vosene. I'm not one to shy away from the obvious. Goz is Turkish for eye and the only thing that shows up in an image search.

Goz quarter is great but still only the third best on envane.

My #1 in this poll. Was sent this and Anvil Vapre on promo (vinyl), those were the days. Perhaps slightly arbitrary placing but it is a fave. I think it's the most well rounded of the tracks on Envane. Lots of nice elements that work together and I always really liked the dolorous "burning" string pad that comes in for the main slow melody for some reason. Works @33 as well IIRC. "Jam like Autechre"

enjoying this thread. I only really know&love confield but having dug out the cd it sounds superb & I'd forgotten how fond I was of it even though I'd never got into anything else
― ogmor, Tuesday, 30 September 2014 21:30 (nine years ago) link
confield was my introduction too :)
obviously my advice would be to listen to the albums that came immediately afterwards before regressing but others may disagree

Goz Quarter is the song, and Envane is the EP that got me into obsessing about Ae as much as (if not more than) RDJ. I also ended up meeting one of my best friends because of Envane. I had only heard Tri Repetae++ at the time, and he tossed Envane my way to borrow after only meeting me once (he later told me I was the first real life person he met who had discovered and listened to that style of music on their own), and I was blown away by Goz Quarter in particular because of how simply groovy it was, and how gorgeous the lead melody was toward the end. Very Cichli-esque. I couldn't quite ignore my nostalgic influences, otherwise I'd have put Draun Quarter up there instead.
And come on, who doesn't want to "Jam like Autechre"?

Sad I didn't vote for Vose In. Went for Fold4, Wrap5 instead. They complement each other so well on the LP5 album. Love how the synths sound like they're being turned up and down like that.
― Non-Stop Hongrotic Cabaret (dog latin), Tuesday, 30 September 2014 22:30 (nine years ago) link

Corc is glorious. I didn't vote for it though.
― Acting Crazy (Instrumental) (jed_), Tuesday, 30 September 2014 22:33 (nine years ago) link
Oh wait I did vote for Vose In.could have sworn I also voted for Bladelores too but apparently not. Don't know why I didn't cos it's such a great standout on Exai.
― Non-Stop Hongrotic Cabaret (dog latin), Tuesday, 30 September 2014 22:33 (nine years ago) link
Corc always feels like the least memorable track on LP5 but I'm always pleasantly surprised when it comes on.
― Non-Stop Hongrotic Cabaret (dog latin), Tuesday, 30 September 2014 22:35 (nine years ago) link
Most overrated track on LP5. Possibly most overrated Ae track ever.

― cichleee suite (Leee), Tuesday, 30 September 2014 22:38 (nine years ago) link
This is sort of the archetypal Confield track but not necessarily the best I think.
― Non-Stop Hongrotic Cabaret (dog latin), Tuesday, 30 September 2014 22:39 (nine years ago) link
this is the legit & unassailable sound of lentic catachresis occurring
― Ƹ༑Ʒ (imago), Tuesday, 30 September 2014 22:41 (nine years ago) link
IMO it's one of the three or four strongest on the album, but yeah, it's got a very Ur-Confield sense from it. The frenzied end is where it makes its money.
― cichleee suite (Leee), Tuesday, 30 September 2014 22:41 (nine years ago) link
also my #9
the melodies in the first two minutes are absolutely sensational, some of ae's best songwriting. the rest...is the end of history
― Ƹ༑Ʒ (imago), Tuesday, 30 September 2014 22:42 (nine years ago) link
As much as I have grokked later Ae after initially disliking it, I have never really enjoyed Lentic Catachresis. The pure wall of sound, lack of overt textural/sonic progression, and missing beat has made this always a non-starter for me. Can someone give me a compelling reason to like this track or possibly explain how they got into it?
― octobeard, Tuesday, 30 September 2014 22:42 (nine years ago) link
Corc more devisive than I'd have expected! I like it a lot.
Lentic is OK, but I prefer CapIV when it comes to the this particular style
