-aphex twin/caustic window/polygon window -squarepusher/chaos ad -boc -autechre -mu-ziq -(other)
who made the largest body of early material that is still compelling today?

The way I see it, there are two groups in the music industry. There are groups that make music (or wonderful noise in ATs case hehe) and there are bands.
Bands are *NSYNC, New Kids, 80's hair bands, etc. Basically they are tools of the industry to extract money from kids pockets.
Groups that put out music though, music that they believe in, and that they are making because they love music, touch everyone a certain way. Maybe it's some obscure band from the 60s, maybe a punk band from the 90s, but I think any group that makes music for their love of music, and we as listeners beleive in too, stands the test of time in it's own way. Some may be glad a group is gone (see the Smashing Pumpkins post), but some may have been touched by that group. As long as the albums that were produced with the best intentions and for the best reasons are still around, there will always be people who will cherish those sounds from those eras. True music, to each person in their own way, is timeless.

yes. but what do people find is the most interesting to listen to? a lot of people cite SAW 85-92 and early ae and squarepusher albums as being great, but some electronic music from that time sounds really dated. such is the criticism often for polygon/caustic window releases.

You're wrong.
Actually, 'group' is the word to describe manufactured pop groups, since they don't play instruments so they can't be considered a 'band'.
'band' is the word to describe a group who play instruments, whether they record it or not. Or even whether it's any good or not.
'artists' (in the musical sense) is used to describe someone who expresses themselves by music. That can mean someone in a band, or someone who is solo. Whether that term applies to a manufactured popstar is debatable.

well...i kinda like all those artists' early stuff.. i really like squarepusher's burningn n tree/spymania era stuff...though i mostly prefer that to his chaos ad stuff (aside from psultan..that ones a classic)
i like aphex's saw85-92, polygon and caustic window stuff...though im not so into the classics/ab3 type stuff..
the only stuff from µ-ziq's past im not crazy about is in pine effect
and as for ae...i like incunabula as much as (probably more than) confield..
i really like the old boc stuff i've heard...i almost think i like twoism better than mhtrtc..
i think its hard for music that was ahead of its time when it came out to really become dated...its not like comparing pablo honey to amnesiac...
though saw85-92 and surfing on sine waves are not nearly as innovative as the rdj album is...i think they are still ahead of ..or at least equal to most of the more straightforward/conventional contemporary dance music of the present..

Champoné, I admit I was thinking in different terms than you, but your explanation makes sense. I would thusly switch the terms in my above post, with the comments there within still intact.
Thanks for a better definition.

They get my vote
