Rating metrics:
Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some albums can have several thousand ratings)
This album is rated in the top 8% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.0/100, a mean average of 74.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.7.

@YoungPunk Notice that you listen to both Aphex and now Autechre. I feel like you might love the hell out of Boards of Canada. Another act that came from Warp Records like Aphex and Autechre.
Very cool
Forgot how much I just love this record. If Tri Repetae was an exhibit of how robots live there lives and how in a lot of ways they will be like us. Confield shows an astronaut being experimented on and morphing into anything the astronaut wants to be. Anytime Autechre can make me envision a story, chances that record will get into my top 5 from this discography.
I feel like my head is exploding in the best possible way. Oh, but "Confield" is so much more than just aimless noise; it seems to function as some form of bizarre ambient music where a dark, mechanical atmosphere is conjured expertly from layers upon layers of glitch with a stream of dissonant chimes and echoes... I mean just listen to "Bine". Succeeds where "LP5" doesn't; probably their best work since landmark IDM record "Tri Repetae"

A very interesting listen when it doesn't get too acid
