the worst among the worst

ok....

aphex, autechre, squarepusher, uziq, plaid and BOC.

choose ONE release of each one that you consider is their
worst and then rate them so that we can see which one you
consider the worst of the 6.

for me: (of course from what I have)

aphex´s worst: 2 remixes by afx
autechre´s worst: basscadet ep
squarepusher´s worst: selection sixteen
uziq´s worst: royal astronomy
plaid´s worst: not for threes
BOC´s worst: geogaddi

2 remixes by afx is the worst for me.

well I love all of this too, but I had to choose the worst
for me... being the worst aphex release is still great
(understand?) anyway I f you have a better option post it

aphex - any of the old school raver crap he seems so fond of
re-issuing
autechre - with exception of certain tracks, everything
after lp5
squarepusher - selection sixteen (although i dont know, hes
kind of like sonic youth for me.... make me a good 2-3 cd
retrospective compilation and ill be happy)
uziq - the only one i really DO like is lunatic harness
plaid - i dont much care for anything before rest proof
clockwork
boc - nothing... i cant pick anything i dont like on an
equal tier.

mood bells is amazing and so are the ventolin remixes esp
cylobs
r remixes by afx is amazing as well...

now boc that's a deeply overated group and venetian snares
is mono emotional and really not very exciting - he's
released too many records and could have done one stunning
album out of the best tracks from all of them that would
have been amazing

strange that budokan mindphones my fave - my least fave is
the maximum priest stuff
the universal indicator stuff is amazing for waht it is -
really hard kicking dancefloor acid - not all musiic has to
be overerly complicated

well, maybe "worst" isn't a cool word, I would use "what is
the release you less like (or listen) of those artists?"

I would use "worst" for some Tamara related.

Points: 3219 Status: Regular



aphex = caustin window, probably
autechre = any of it, i could never get into their stuff
squarepusher = budakhan mindphone, but i would still buy it
purely for 'iambic 5 poetry'
µ-Ziq = not familiar enough with his stuff, but i like
everything so much so far! ^_^
plaid = *see above*
boc = peel sessions, i guess

Aphex Twin & µ-ziq = I'll kill two birds with one stone:
"Expert Knob Twiddlers"

Squarepusher = "Maximum Priest"

Autechre = "ep7"

Plaid = "Peel Sessions"

BoC = "Peel Sessions"

But that doesn't mean I renounce them. It's just compared
to other works, they don't stand out.

once again the caustic window tracks are made for the
dancefloot - ps why say probably ? have you not heard them?
i think all this what's the worst just shows up your own
small parameters and expectations - lucky most of the
artists don't care anyway eh?

i say probably because i am less familiar with the old
dancefloor oriented aphex stuff, and the reason i am so
unfamiliar with it, is because i didn't like it nearly as
much the first time i heard it.

Aphex- I hate 80% of ''Classics''. (quote unquote)
Squarepusher- Selection 16 is pretty lame.
Autechre- Basscadet Remixes are a bore.
Plaid- Rest Proof Clockwork
Mu-Ziq- some earlier Mu isn't all that great, I don't know
the names, nor do I care.
Boards of Canada- Geogaddi

at one store, then $18.39 at another store later that day.

what a mistake
