Ae and BoC are completely different sounds imo...
lets stop comparing them, and spend more time liking
them..ok ?! :D

I agree that Ae are talented and certainly bright blokes,
but I far prefer BoC's music, circa MHTRTC to any Ae stuff.

I like Autechre a lot, and they are damn good at what they
do, but I love BoC's music like no other... so yeah, Boards
of Canada for me!!!

Yep Princo,couldn't agree with you more...Their styles are
so different,plus I like them both,just because of that....
For me 100% AE+100% BoC
Can't compare one to the other!!!

I'd say Autechre. Love them both, but Autechre is alot more
interesting... it was an adventure getting into them,
whereas with BOC I was never surprised... but they do what
they do better than anyone else.

But Autechre wins.

And come on, don't be so politcially correct, compare
whatever the hell you want! They may be different, but
comparing is fun, who cares abou their differences. The
Beatles kick BOTH their asses no matter what. Now THERE'S a
comparison!

more than boc, allthough I do like boc a lot!

Autechre! Autechre! Autechre!(counts for three votes :-) )
Ae is so much better than BoC. The two music's are different
but Boards of Canada just sucks a lot!!!!! All you people
that voted for BoC, you just have to listen to Astrobotnia
and shut your mouth up!!! Excuse me but I think that I'm
right... Rephlex's ambient is so much better than Warp's
one...Just listen...

Yeah, æ are damn talented, but I don't care for their
releases post-tri repetae ++, so BoC easily take the cake.

BoC are geniuses in their own right, sure they're not doing
such experimental things as æ, but their music has
something to it that not many/if any artists can grasp.

BoC...
Ae is good for brain
BoC is good for inner child
my inner child's brain sometimes miss-fires while listening
to Ae then throw a tempertantrum...like watching big creen
pokemon in a small room...

BoC.

if you asked me a couple years ago, I would've said Ae no
contest. they were my favourite group, and as far as I was
concerned, they were making advancements in sound art
unparalleled by anyone else. I've grown up a lot since then,
though, and I feel a lot differently about them. they are
indeed experimental, but their music frequently seems
passionless, apathetic. I find myself skipping most of the
tracks on an Ae CD and even the ones I like, I have to
ignore certain elements in order to enjoy - kinda like
picking the veggies you don't like (or maybe raw sewage) out
of food that would be otherwise yummy.

I think BoC are experimental, but in a way different from
sitting in front of a laptop all day making your tracks. I
think that they are the more adventurous of the two,
certainly the more emotional. I find their tracks very
beautiful, whereas Autechre's are just "cool". I feel a
great deal of compassion, love, and connection to nature and
some kind of lifeforce when I listen to Boards of Canada.
Autechre just sounds like worship of technology to me.

I think it depends on what you look for in music. if you
think music is supposed to be cool-sounding, then yeah,
Autechre probably. if you think music is supposed to be
beautiful, then Boards of Canada.

Ae got ahead! :)

Ae = 15

Phobizero > you're right, it's not really fair to compare...
since they do a lot of work, and we criticize them easily;
besides they're really different... but it's just to see
who's the most popular on the mb :)
