ae or afx?

For me it's like fucking two really fit girls, you will
always prefer one though. Maybe one has bigger tits, or the
way the others arse wobbles when you're banging them from
behind.

I don't think of AFX or Ae in terms of sex, I think of them
as my great, close personal friends, though each suits a
different mood. AFX I would like to go out with for perhaps
a trip to the countryside, to visit old ruins or a cliff.
He'd be going on about how "mad" it all was and you'd see
his little brain thinking of lush ambient soundscapes. Then
you'd go to a museum and he'd be going on about how "mad"
the ancient relics were, and you'd see his little brain
imagining the "beats" the people of that epoc would've made,
had they recourse to his enormous collection of synths. Then
you'd go for a drink afterwards and he'd start getting a
liitle bit moody, and fidgety and clearly be wanting to go
back home so he could work on a new album that he will never
release, not even to his friends. Because not one of them is
good enough, the fucking bastards, all trying to steal his
style.

With the Ae boys you'd probably go to a sporting event,
maybe rugby or snooker. The lads would be going about how
"mad" it was and drawing parallels between the complex
interplay of the game at hand, and computerised rhythms and
completely new systems of musical notation. Afterwards you'd
visit something like a huge Hydroelectric Station or a
Submarine nest. They chaps, obviously impressed, would go on
about how "mad" it was and you'd see their little brains
coming up with vast , discordant electronic swathes in a bid
to reflect the enormity of what we were looking at. Almost
as if from an alien visitor to earth's viewpoint. Afterwards
we'd retreat to a cafe and have something for supper. You go
to the lavvy and the lads have left, leaving you with the
bill. It's not because they're mean, just that their minds
are on higher things, like 3.5 D Architecture and Inverse
Bass.

Overall, I'd prefer to hang out with D'Arcangelo, becaue
they have manners.

will dissapoint me the least. AFX is bollocks these days.

burn down. what an ashhole. Wank us some songs, richard!

Both have older tracks (ex: equation track, to cure a
weakling child contour regard/ 777, vose in) that are
obviously at the absolute apex of quality and imagination
(or algorithmic sophistication), and still too sophisticated
to be well imitated by the masses with their stupid fruity
loops/etc setups and average brains. But for some very
perplexing reason, the masses hardly appreciate such tracks
and instead regard the simplest, least sophisticated tracks,
that were the easiest to create, as their best works. Then
again this is based on subjectivity, and given that most
people are idiots I guess it makes sense. They're both still
geniuses simply because they're now exploiting this
stupidity by lazily releasing sucky albums that everyone
will buy. They probably need a large sum of money to
experiment with their new interests of wormhole teleporting
or matter creation technology or something. Aphex twin is
more devious of course (as in game theory he is probably the
type to select 'defect' every time- and he tries to break
the crap conventions layed out almost everywhere possible
simply because anywhere humanity has not tended to go
is likely to be the best place.. as a simple example using
an odd number like 81 as a tempo, if he even uses the same
measurement units, or creating his own time signatures) by
releasing albums that come in gourmet diamond laced binders.

they are kinda real different from one another now a days

autechre I think of more associated with others like coil,
scorn, r. devine, pan sonic

aphex I think of along with squarepusher, u-ziq, wisp etc

It is weird they are thought of as being in the same genre
.. maybe in 1994 but not so much in 2007

"afx" and "aphex twin" represent only aspects of RDJ, and
thus many of his releases under specific pseudonyms are
purposefully sort of generic and, shall we say,
to-be-expected-in-a-quirky-way

on the other hand, autechre represents the whole of autechre
- OK, minus gescom which is another "excuse" to try
something else and different collabs...

my guess is that after close to two decades of mutual
music-making, the Sean-Rob partnership is beginning to show
signs of ossification. but what they do they do extremely
well now

Well it will be interesting to hear what ae put out next.
D7.30 and Gantz seemed like the final climax of what they
had been building up to since like Chiastic Slide. Then
along comes Untilted which is like a real side step. It was
almost like going back to basics, putting the laptops away
and limiting the processing to what could be done on drum
machines and other hardware and definetly more focused on
what can be done with simple sequencing rather than envelope
generating, beat slicing and number crunching. So whatever
they do next almost seems like it has to be somewhat of a
fresh approach to their sound.

Aphex and AE are like fucking to fit girls.

The Aphex girl is gorgeous in a very inviting sense, but
still melancholy, but as soon as you plunge your hard member
into her fish hatch a stink from the 5th ring of hell is
released and you pump quicker and harder to get it over with
as quick as possible while holding your breath.

Ae, hmm..I don't listen to them as much to be honest

analords were quite nice, but we expect so much from afx
that we never feel happy

the tuss in my opinion is great music

Dogshit might have been a tad harsh, it's just that he
showed us with drukQs and windowlicker that he's capable of
so much more. Smojphace? 26 mixes for cash? Aphex is an
asshole.

Analord 10 was great though and got my hopes up for the
whole series, but although there are maybe 10 good tracks on
Analord 1-9 and 11, they don't even come close to analord
10.

3:54-4:28 on xmd5a still takes me to school.

ae n afx were once fresh, sweet smelling young virgins
frolicking in the fields , barely experienced in the art of
sucking cock and being used as sex receptacles but their
youthful inexperience was matched by their obvious
attractiveness and seemingly limitless potential for all
kinds of crazy cock bashing fun - indeed, as aristotle once
noted : these girls could fuck, and boy would they show it !
Over time of course they both became highly proficient at
whoring their wares, building up a seemingly massive amount
of clients impressed by their newly invented tricks and
innovations, each release seemingly inventing an entire new
way to blow yer load, indeed many of their clients believed
at some point in the mid to late 90s that these chicks were
about to lead us all to some kind of mind blowing cosmic
orgasm that would bathe the whole world in our milky jizz !
But it was not to be, mother nature was to avoid her facial
cumshot : Other, slightly younger and perhaps less talented
whores were beggining to appear on their patch and utilize
all of their tricks and with the ease of whoring making the
art of sucking dick amazingly widespread so that even
toothless ugly whores who smelled of vinegar could suck dick
in all kinds of crazy fashions that 5 years previously hadnt
even been invented, the special qualities of these 2 lovely
ladies became more and more diluted ! It didnt help that
perhaps the tits were starting to droop slightly and the
asses began to sag as the bowels loosened and incontinence
seemed to be approaching, and at some point in about 2003 it
became clear AE had some kind of musical STD perhaps caught
while holidaying with gary glitter in thailand, and AFX
seemed to have retreated into a seemingly endless silence
after a vicious falling out with her pimp only to reapper a
couple of years later whoring the same old tricks but to
slightly less effect : rubbery skin, gums pared back, the
slight whiff of sulphur emanating from her once smoothly
toned body, glistening in the sunset as the death cock smile

again I much prefer analord 1,2,5,7,8,11 rather than 10

but thats tastes

about 26 mixes for cash, who can say it is bad? apart from
the sound quality in some of the tracks and the fact that
some others are edited to be shorter, those are almost all
his mixes... and most are awesome

that compilation cannot be judged as part of his later
output in any case though

this thread is an outlet for many a masturbatory fantasy

saying the word "afx" raises the blood pressure of a typical
IDM nerd by 3%, saying "autechre" by another 3% - but
putting them together under one topic is liable to cause
massive upsurge of erectile functioning, resulting in
instant gratification of the most unspeakable kind
