this album is so beautiful...i cant get enough of it
i havent heard anything comparable (and im searching hard) -
no need to sound alike, all i want is something as unique as
this (bilious paths and go plastic come close but not quite
there)
i found some pretty unique albums...but i'd like to make
sure im not missing anything, so i'd really like to see some
recommendations of what you see as unique album

Boards of canada, but you probably have some of their stuff
already.

I was going to say that, didn't want to be boring though.

I Care Because You Do though is very unique. Couldn't have
been done by anyone else. Except for the track Cow Cud Is a
Twin. That could've been. Apart from that the album is
overflowing with that Aphexness.

hmm, boc are ok, but something a bit more interesting would
be nice - something that occupies your brain while
listening, boc are more like music to relax to
here are some others i enjoy, but are not close to drukqs:
-anything by jan jelinek
-anything by susumu yokota
-dolls dolls dolls
-find candace
-anything by tim hecker
-aileron by rotor+
...

confield and i care because you do are both very nice, but
so is almost evrything by aphex - still not close to drukqs
tho (for my likings that is)

I have to say I find Autechre generally boring (except
incanabula & some early stuff) and BoC painfully pleasant...
(ie utterly unchallenging and dull)

Thats why I don't mind when AFX goes off on one, at least
its not just the same old same old...

(sorry Ae luvvaz, don't mind me!)

The Isness is completely different from other FSOL. i love
it, not everyone's taste though - you have to like
psychedelic stuff and cithars i guess... =)

maybe you can try John Zorn - Naked City.
avant-garde experimental free jazz with some grindcore!

i also think some 80's Einstürzende Neubauten have a unique
feeling to it, but i'm not sure! tracks 'Zerstoerte Zelle',
'Yü-Gung', album Zeichnungen Des Patienten O.T....

(BoC, unique? chilled out tracks aren't that rare - and they
aren't even the best at it, have you heard Fahrenheit Fair
Enoug by Telefon Tel Aviv? Dismantling Five Years by
Venetian Snares (though this one i'd say isn't better as
BoC, but still very similar)? the whole album Fyuti by Bola?
=P)

Einstürzende Neubauten are not quite my thing

albums:
-swarm and dither by hrvatski
-lexaunculpt
-nautilus

planet mu is really nice btw :)

evolume > i have koss porta pro headphones, i guess they're
quite good! i'm satisfied with them anyway. it didn't melt
my skull, it is pleasant and sometimes very pleasant to
listen to but in no way astonishing... ' _ '

(i always bash BoC, not because i don't like them, but
because i think they do not deserve all the praise they get
compared to other artists, less well known and imo better!)

tolstoyed > yeah but i was just mentioning TTV and Bola
because they are similar to BoC, as examples for my point of
view (which is that BoC isn't unique)... i don't think TTV
nor Bola are very unique! (though TTV has a little bit of
uniqueness maybe) =)

ew. the isness?

i'll never understand how people can even listen to that
album. i wish i could derive even a speck of pleasure from
it to justify my having purchased it but alas, i cannot.

now, ISDN or Dead Cities on the other hand; fucking
fantastic.

i guess you either like them or don't. i personally love
Geogaddi. I'll admit that i didn't truely love it untill
after many smoke out sessions but now it is quickly becoming
one of my most regularly listened-to albums. smokey or not.

np: Photek - Modus Operandi
don't know if it's unique or not but i love it

heh
i've already had this discussion in other 'isness' threads.
i'm glad that people like you enjoy it. i just cannot.
Though it is a technically well produced album, i just can't
stand it. personal preference. check this thread if you
have any interest in people's opinion of this album,
including mine, if you care.
