My mate Phil reckons Mozart is music for gay boys, he much prefers Bach. Maybe one day someone will say the same thing about Aphex and Autechre, except hyakusen will have said it first ;) |

I hate the noise tracks and i think he doesn't give a shit these days. That said, When i downloaded druqks (sorry rich but i bought all your other albums). Anyway, I got a lot of fakes. But when I heard the real thing I knew it. Right away. There might be other great bedroom artists and musicians with phd's in math and engineering, but rdj has a sound that is uniquely his own. Yeah, he's borrowed ideas, but he borrows them to make them better. Eno? Compared to saw2? Eno is like listening to paint dry compared to rich's stuff. gimmie a break! |

i like aphex's stuff wether its innovative or not, cos it sound like the sounds in my head, but you cant say that he doesn't have some innovation- if you listen to the production on SAW 85-92 some of it sounds dated now, but the sounds he is using were far beyond those of his contempories. the choir pads sound so fresh and lush compared to the cheese the dance scene was wallowing in. Also aphex can blend lots of contempory styles in a way so few can- bummy is like conventional john barry 60's pop, but the tempo of the melodies and rythems keep sliding in opposite directions. even while maintaining a relatively mainstream style to the song it has that aphex twist that makes you sit up and listen jingle |

if its aphex vs ae i'll back aphex, cos the need to try and push their one style is a millstone not a blessing: their music has become an emaciated version of itself, and in a need to refine the ae sound they have probably lost the part that connects their more alien works to those with any sensible level of appreciation. |

I adore Aphex's SAWII 1 - 3. However, as it slightly reminded me of Eno's Ascent (an Ending), I thought I'd play them back to back, or have a go at mixing them... It was a weird feeling, the Eno track sounded so much more sophisticated and rich. That said, and this may be the point - I still almost come when I listen to the SAW track... Similarly, I love Gwarek2. It's funny and the sounds are cool. I listened to Giles Gobeil's La Vertige Inconnu (like the Aphex, melody-less tempo-less harmony-less) straight afterwards and it sounded as if my ears had been syringed, the sounds, put simply - shat on Aphex's. ATR Live at Brixton is good, innovative noise. Is that man really having his head squashed? It makes me stare at it for a long time and then feel sick. Bad. |
