So are you the official scout master? Anyway I have little time for Arovane, a second rate ae clone.

I dislike arovane quite a lot.
his music bores me to bits. and he does seem to be, as flea so eloquently types, a bad ae clone.

i really don't see the comparison. it's apples versus peaches.

yes it is.
but in this case the peaches would oh so much like to be the apples. but they are still peaches.

'Tides' is an awesome release, the best by Arovane.
Definitely has some of the best soothing beats I've ever heard. I don't think there's 1 song that I don't really care for on there.

it's a good release, i used to listen to it on a regular basis, but it must have been 1 year since the last time i listened to it, for some reason.

nice little album, somewhat repetitive, holds together as an album better than "atol scrap" (all IMHO)

AE? I hear hardly any AE in Arovane, gives me a totally different feel. And I love him, I've had the melody for The Storm stuck in my head for over a year straight.
Tides is quite a bit better than Atol Scrap.

my sister told me she found a burned CD I made for her, with Arovane's Tides on it. Turns out shes really digging it!
It tis a great album, very chill.
I dont see the AE connections at all.

His early stuff ruined him.. well not quite, but people who were turned off by his VERY derivative first album often don't give Tides a chance. When in fact, Tides is a completely different album from anything else out there. Quite beautiful.

I got Minth vinyl the other day and it's good. I've listened to lots of his stuff and I don't get this AE comparison. Some songs might sound a bitter amber-like. and if so, they aren't worse than those amber songs at all.

Love that album. And I don't hear much AE at all in Tides. Don't like Atol Scrap nearly as much though.

arovane has his own style... it's reminiscent of ae at times, but only remotely so... Tides is gorgeous... it takes gorgeous downtempo loops, and just lets them run their course... i can see how people find it boring... because this particular album isn't that progressive, i juts think it's a beautiful vibe... i'm definitely looking forward to his forthcoming album on Neo Ouija... which should be out sometime this year, apparently

i think 'Tides' is a masterpiece. Even some heavily convinced Gothic-obsessed girls I know, they can't help it, but they like 'Tides'. Even if they deny their liking, it definitely stays on the level of subconsciousness.

The closest AE comparision would be the Amber album and Arovane is actually better with regard to atmosphere and mood. Besides that, there's no relation between the two except for the quality of their releases.

although i don't really like arovane's other albums much anymore and lillies was a pretty big dissapointment, this album still stands out for me.
it has it's own little style to it and it greatly reminds me of summer. oh, how i wish it was summer already.
and the autechre comparison definitely doesn't hold up at all on this release. the rest of his stuff could be compared to things around the time of tri repetae and that's about it.

I still think Tides is his best album. Lilies is good, but it's so meditative, with no distinct melodies, themes. Music is smooth and calm. On Tides, there are some perfect bass and guitar lines - on tides, eleventh! and a secret.
