autechre - ahead of their time?

way back in the late 90s when i was beginning to
familiarize myself with AE, aside from a few choice beats on
'amber' and such, i didn't quite comprehend how it could be
that they regarded their music as principally hip-hop
oriented, as they have stated in interviews, what with their
80s graf-writing and ol' school rap history.

of course, as time went on, the hip-hop influences have
become more apparent to me, but it wasn't until the other
day that i've finally SEEN THE LIGHT: just listen to the new
Aesop Rock, or virtually anything on Def Jux, not to mention
the obvious: lex records (duh!)! it seems the b-boys the
world around are finally catching up to Autechre's
pioneering efforts! agree?

No, not unless their watches are running fast.

If anything Aphex has done more to further the Def Jux sound
than ae as El-P on a number of occassions has name checked
Aphex as a big influence.

I love Autechre, but I don't think they are THAT
groundbreaking, and ahead of their time... they make some
awesomely weird music... and it takes skill to do so... they
are excellent music producers, but they aren't the savors of
music imo...

i can see how anyone can pioneer anything, everything is
based on something before it....

that's just it, it's weird, it's different. That doesn't
mean they're ahead of their time.

Once i thought merzbow was ahead of its time. Will all
electronic music eventually evolve to this..? yay!

Merzbow is not ahead of it's time, there was a whole culture
of Noise brewing before Merzbow came on the scene, as far
back as NON and Boyd Rice in the late 70's

autechre are very good... and in some cases ground breaking
and pioneers... but what I like about them is the great
music they produce no matter how ahead of its time it is...
if it is
