Why is it that I don't listen to The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter because I think of it as a 'hard' album, yet when I actually spend some time with it, I find it to be enchanting.
What other albums am I missing out on regularly because I don't want to expend effort, when I don't really have to?
Here's one that I always thought was too hard to listen to because it was so confusing to me, but now I don't find it hard at all.
And then another one that I find really easy.to listen to and easy to enjoy, but people tell ME that it's too confusing for them and too hard to listen to all the way through.
I agree about Hot Rats. Might give it a whirl today and see if I can get past my prejudices.
As for Orbus Terrarum - always loved that album. Bit more ethereal that some of their other stuff, but a really interesting listen. Definitely going to put that on today!
people always talk about Autechre's work beginning in the late 90s and early 00s as being difficult and without melody, but there are very clear melodies all over the place on those albums. Like on Cfern off of Confield, it's so overt and I have no idea how people can say what they say with a straight face.

listen #1 is jarring because the adrenaline levels are really high, and it's kind of unexpected in its relentlessness, but once you start to grasp what's going on (a few listens in at least), it's pretty soothing. _________________ follow me on the bandcamp.

For me, I find Autechre pretty enjoyable due to how I listen to music. Enjoy the soundscapes as well the heady beats. But I do understand why people will be miffed at an act like Autechre. Especially when you get to the 2000's.
Depending on what people listen to, there perspective will look at an album like Confield the same way as a free form jazz album or a drone piece. I don't get it. And guess what, that is perfectly fine. Even when electronic music is my bread and butter, some avant garde stuff can be a turn off. As well as some music has a time and place.
Autechre are definitely an act I get on with less than I would like (whatever that means). They've produced some brilliant tunes (Nine, from Amber; Eutow, from Tri Repetae), but there's also tracks that feel more like filler than considered options. I found the whole of Quarastice very difficult to like. Maybe I'll go back to it again with different ears and hear something I've not heard before.
