Can you believe my (ex) friend Ben said that Autechre are better than the man himself, Aphex Twin? I mean, come on...
Autechre have released about 17 records, yet only about three are decent. Every Aphex song is wicked, yet Autechre can't help sounding like they try just a bit too hard...I dunno.
What's the deal?

Your (ex) friend ben is obviously a homosexual. You should tell him to "Get a load of this!" if you get my meaning, which by god, I hope you don't.

I like them about equally. They are both musical geniuses, and I see how someone could easily prefer one over the other.

You reckon? Okay, so Autechre aren't that bad, but the fact of the matter is that Aphex's are so organic and beautiful - intentionally or otherwise. With Autechre, a lot of tunes they make seem to end up a bit...too...jumbled and sonically ugly...
Don't you reckon the album "confields" is one ugly record?

I like Ben, tell him to get Crunch since it's better too.

Hmmmm....
I like Autechre's "Chichlisuite" and "Tri-Reparte"...must just be me. But, I'll still beat Ben over the head with a rubber hose.
Also, which album is better, I care because you do or RDJ album?...I personally prefer ICBYD...

I guess we just have different musical tastes as I like the RDJ album better out of those 2.

See, the reason I like ICBYD over RDJ is just the nice selection of tunes and the broad variety of them. I find, despite RDJ being a brilliant record, it gets stuck in TOO much jungle, you know. Sure there are the couple of songs such as "Milkman" and "To cure a weakling child" which stand out, but ICBYD is, to me, a more complete album.
But, despite the above, both whip the synth out of Autechre...and there is a LOT of synth in that...
