God, I bloody LOVE Amber by Autechre. I find it really hard to get into their newer stuff, but I just love this.
Errrr, yeah. That's it really.
Amber probably my favourite too and I think Yulquen might be one of my favourite pieces of music ever - a lot of BOC or anything similar for me. But the first 3 lps are all great.
i quite like some of their more abstract stuff as well though...and sometimes when i'm in the wrong mood the pretty standard rhythms on the first couple of albums tire me a bit and then I prefer their latter stuff/slightly more abstract contemporaneous stuff....I thought Quaristice and Move of Ten were pretty accessible though, have you heard them; the latter's better than the former but both are good.
I'm gonna give Move Of Ten a listen in a bit.
Quite weird really as I saw them earlier this year and was a bit apprehensive about it (cos of not really getting into their newer stuff), but they were AMAZING.
LP5 is my favourite Autechre album. The intricateness of the music on that record is something that never ceases to amaze me.
Much as I love Amber and the EPs around that time, and Confield etc. LP5 is where their accessible melodic stuff and the batshit mentalism balance perfectly.
