Duo's vs. Solo

ok, so we got Autechre, Boards of Canada, Plaid, etc as
duos.

We got Aphex Twin, and Squarepusher etc as solo artists

would you say on a whole... that the duo artisits, or the
solo artists are better... and why?

Do you think better things happen when there is 2 people?

some autechre tracks are actually solo tracks, i think
that's the same for plaid too (fairly certain anyway).

dunno if that's true for boc but it wouldn't surrise me.
sometimes in a partnership you just don't know what the
other guy's on about so you just let him be, and if it sucks
you veto it from the album. in radiohead, "everything in its
right place" was just made by thom yorke and the producer
nigel godrich; the songs "kid a" and "i might be wrong" are
mostly thom yorke solo tracks on his laptop with
embellishments made by the rest of the band.

since my fav are afx and >?, i'd say i prefer solo...

maybe that's because when you're a solo artist, you can't be
like "what do you think of it?", "do you think you can
improve it?", but rather rather "do i really like
it?", "can i improve it?"... maybe you have more
freedom and more responsabilities at the same time, and
maybe that makes you focus on the music itself more... i
don't know, i don't know how artists work...

with electronic duos, you usually have no idea who
contributed what, so it's hard to say. it's not like in a
traditional band where you can say person "a" played such
and such instruments, wrote the vocals, or whatever.
