ok, what HAPPENED after LP5? How to get into the more "intimidating" albums?
so, I'm the "what to do after Amber" guy. I went with Tri Repetae, Garbage, and LP5.
I started out my dive into Ae with Incunabula so you can already probably guess how clueless I was about just how much Ae's sound changed.
So, I came from SAW 85-92, which is a really easy listen to be frank, very accessible. Then I took a dive into Incunabula, and a whole year passed after I went with Amber. Felt like I was getting my training wheels off so to speak.
ooh wee.
I don't know how exactly to put it into words, but they way Amber, Tri Repetae, and then LP5 grew on me has never been as strong as with any other artist. Any other artists I somehow got in the first 20 minutes of an album and then it was all smooth saling. Autechre is kind of... different?
I guess it's the kind of music you don't instantly get, but over time just... something changes? I felt like LP5 was a bit too much. Then it grew on me and became a weekly listen. And then it became an obsession.
and then Confield. yeah.
what the HELL is Confield?!
question is, how do I start listening to their later works? Has it also grown on you as well?
Would you call it "intimidating"? Cause I sure as hell do. I don't like Ae any less for it.
Thank you for the comments on that last Amber post, y'all did me a solid one and I had a very good listen.
