'Autechre - Quaristice'

...god that's a tough album - does it get any better after a few plays? I shelved it after 2.

Yes and no and yes again!
That's why I didn't include it, I think.
I love them boys but I find this really hard to get into.
I want to like it more than I do.
Their stuff usually is awkward, but there's always some sort of handle to grip onto, and then off ye go.
Anyways, it seems none of the lists here will ever be as boring as some of the others batting about.

Actually I reckon it's their warmest and most organic-sounding record yet. Certainly waaay more accessible than their last two. Their best since Confield, I reckon. There's even some blinking improvisation on it, which seems a very un-Autechre thing to be doing. Stylistically it's all over the place, a real hodge podge of different sounds (and eras). And I bet that's the first time anyone's ever used 'hodge podge' with regard to Autechre.
