Description
One of Autechre's defining works and an everlasting shock. A crystallization of calculated collapse and algorithms that are beautiful to the point of coldness. Alongside Aphex Twin and Squarepusher, Autechre has continued to redefine the currents of electronic music since the 1990s as an artist symbolizing the prestigious UK label Warp Records. With an unyielding attitude and thorough innovation, they are a peerless presence that has expanded the possibilities of IDM / electronica. To commemorate their first Japan performance in approximately two and a half years since their appearance at SONICMANIA in 2023, the album that stands as one of their representative works and a major turning point in their career is reissued as a newly packaged CD. Released in 2001, "Confield" departed significantly from conventional dance music beat structures, presenting a work in which algorithmically generated complex rhythms are highly integrated with organic and abstract soundscapes. Its sound, which simultaneously contains artificial control and chance, delivered a major impact on the electronic music scene at the time and went on to determine the direction of IDM, glitch, and experimental music. The sonic world of this work, where repetition and collapse, order and chaos contend with one another, elevated Autechre into a truly one-of-a-kind realm beyond the boundaries of genre. Even more than 20 years after its release, this approach has not grown outdated and instead continues to resonate strongly with contemporary algorithmic music and sound art. Delivered once again at the special milestone of their return to Japan, this work is sure to strongly resonate with the ears of new listeners as an important piece that both reaffirms Autechre's current position and prompts a reconsideration of the future of electronic music. Includes liner notes. Logo sticker enclosed. Please note that as this product is a Friday sales start item, delivery will be made on or after the release date.

Description in Japanese
コンフィールド [数量限定盤] / オウテカ
オウテカの代表作にして、不朽の衝撃作! 計算された崩壊と、冷徹なまでに美しいアルゴリズムの結晶。エイフェックス・ツイン、スクエアプッシャーと並び、英国の名門＜WARP RECORDS＞を象徴するアーティストとして、90年代以降の電子音楽の潮流を更新し続けてきたオウテカ。不屈のアティテュードと徹底した革新性によって、IDM/エレクトロニカの可能性を押し広げてきた比類なき存在である。2023年のSONICMANIA出演以来、約2年半ぶりとなる来日公演を記念し、彼らの代表作にしてキャリアの重要な転換点となったアルバムが、新装版CDとしてリイシュー。2001年に発表された『Confield』は、従来のダンス・ミュージック的なビート構造から大きく逸脱し、アルゴリズムによって生成された複雑なリズムと、有機的かつ抽象的な音響が高度に融合した作品である。人為的な制御と偶発性を同時に内包するそのサウンドは、当時の電子音楽シーンに大きな衝撃を与え、以降のIDMやグリッチ、エクスペリメンタル・ミュージックの方向性を決定づけた。反復と崩壊、秩序と混沌がせめぎ合う本作の音響世界は、オウテカを単なるジャンルの枠を超えた"唯一無二"の領域へと押し上げた。リリースから20年以上を経た現在においても、そのアプローチは決して古びることなく、むしろ現代のアルゴリズミック・ミュージックやサウンドアートと強く共鳴し続けている。来日という特別な節目に改めて届けられる本作は、オウテカの現在地を再確認すると同時に、電子音楽の未来を再考させる重要な一篇として、新たなリスナーの耳にも強く響くはずだろう。解説付き。ロゴステッカー封入。※本商品は金曜販売開始商品のため、商品のお届けは発売日当日以降になります。
