as much as i love confield, tri repetae, and gantz graf, i see it difficult to even compete with autechre post exai. its legitimately the most intoxicating and complex music ever created

I love this set.

You can hear some proto-Quaristice in there.

-Difficult to say, because the tracks I like best are spread out over multiple albums, but it's one of Amber, Tri Repetae, Chiastic Slide or Confield. If I were pressed as to an album I'd probably say CHIASTIC SLIDE. I think it's worth mentioning that the other three albums I mentioned were my first three Autechre albums, all bought circa 2001 when I started getting into the group, so I have the most mental/personal history with those.

-See above, similar idea. My favorite tracks, confining ourselves to proper albums just now, tend to derive from the above albums as you'd expect, and include Montreal, Clipper, Pen Expers, Cipater, and Nuane. If I had to pick ONE TRACK I would only be able to narrow it down to a TIE between CLIPPER and PEN EXPERS, which is slightly odd because I just said that CHIASTIC SLIDE edges as a probable favorite album. The point being that Chiastic slide is the ideal bridge-point between the early stuff and the later abstraction. Favorite EP tracks include Vletrmx21 and Goz Quarter. You'll notice I focus on the first half of the catalogue, so let me just throw out that a more recent track I really like is Jatevee-C. I also really like Draft 7.30 generally but I haven't been "into" it just lately.

-This ought to be pretty obvious from the above discussion. Say about 94-97, from Amber (include Anti in here) up through Chiastic and Envane. As I've said many times, LP5 is my personal least favorite Autechre album, despite the fact that I know it's popular among Sup Forums anons. Personally I view it as a regression.

-I don't think that this fourth question is meaningfully different from the third, and so I pass over it.

-Envane.

First three albums re-issued with codes to access a new live set! Go get 'em chilluns!

Something I failed to mention here is the also very solid first Peel Session, and the We R Are Why single, which round out the period very nicely. I think one of the Warp founders called Drane one of his top 20 favorite tracks ever released on the label, and so they did a compilation of those favorite tracks IIRC.

OP here

Sorry about the period/era questions since they're really the same thing. I wasn't thinking straight

I'd say that's true. They continue to reach new heights along with their growing technology. They're pretty much the most prolific musical act ever i'd say. Such constant growth is unheard of
