Confield

Confield is the sixth studio album by British electronic music duo Autechre. It was released on 30 April 2001 through Warp Records on 2xLP, CD and digital services. The album marked a significant shift in sound for the duo, moving towards abstract and experimental tracks instead of the previous warm, ambient sounds of Amber and Tri Repetae. Confield was the first Autechre studio album to utilise generative programs such as Max. The album received general acclaim; critics enjoyed its experimental nature, though some thought it was overly robotic and unapproachable.

== Background == Autechre are a British electronic music duo composed of members Rob Brown and Sean Booth. After the release of the self-titled album Lego Feet in 1991, their first project under the Autechre name would come with the release of Cavity Job later in December. The duo's first studio album, Incunabula, was a surprise success. After signing with Warp Records, the duo would go on to release albums such as Amber and Tri Repetae, which were received mostly positively by critics.
