hey man,or woman,really nice artwork,i like get the kitty |
||||||||
|
|

|
i'm not sure musician's the right word... well, as i say, I'm not sure. i'd call him a producer rather than a musician, but i guess you'd say that was pedantic. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well at least is the one I admire the most. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

Not even close, never was. But I do think he's pretty FUCKing good. Maybe in my top 30-40 favorite artists or something, but nowhere near my number 1. I barely listen to him anymore but it's not because I'm bored of it or anything, I just ration it. I'm still impressed and stimulated everytime I put on vordhosbn or girl/boy or w'ever. |

I will always love Aphex for his genius music and the fact that he introduced me to the IDM world. But the fact is, noone makes better music than Autechre. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
he was my fav electronic artist until analord. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no he is not my favourite musician |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
he was in my top 5 ever since i bought my first ricky record, but hes never been one. i cant tell you my number one, its too embarrasing :( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
he was my favourite back in the day, but there's just so much more variety now that I've discovered so many more artists. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
he's not even my favourite electronic musician. i remember about 15 years ago he did some good songs. i think polynomial-c was the name of one of them. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
c'mon it's nothing to be ashamed of. tell us! so i can laugh myself silly |
||||||||

2 unlimited |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
kind of ironic (don't you think). because they were limited to only a one hit song. but in a way their suckyness was unlimited so i guess the name kind of works, if you look at it that way. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
he is my favourite yeah, but analord had nothing to do with it..it was a bit weak overall imo. there's a lot of awesome music nowdays, but not many come close to aphex. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
WHAT THERE ARE OTHER IDM/ELECTRONIC MUSICIANS OTHER THEN APHEX? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, there's some fellow named polygon window, but the rumour is that might be aphex as well. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
liking aphex makes me feel old |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
in that case consider britney! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh all right. bentley rhythm ace |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
saw 1 surfin on ab3 icbyd saw 2 habs drukqs so many memorable moments |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
still, and with analord even more, i respect the man a lot though the fanboy times are over *g |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes, it is, until the end of turn. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yep |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no but he was he most produce some more really good music to gain the top spot once again.he cant live on old merrits anymore to be a top artist |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
he never has been my favourite really, I place him in the average to good category of my mental music critique with a slight leaning towards shit on occasion. I thought he peaked around "RDJ LP" and I really liked SAW 1 & 2 when I first heard them but his music never really has a really lasting effect on me, it's not robust enough to withstand repeated listens over a very long period of time IMO and gets old very quickly, he's got the advantage that he's so prolific but I prefer quality over quantity any day. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
No. Right now its still a tosup between richard devine and phoenicia. Autechre running in the top 5. Aphex used to be my favorite about 5 years ago. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
aphex has slipped down in my books. still love the cunt mind you. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
wankshot ! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
when I say "yes", I mean no. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
when I say I mean "no", I really mean "oh GOD no!". |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i love drukqs just like harry haller loves the magic flute |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm going to say yes, not so much because he's my favorite musician, but because it's contrary to what soundguy said. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think aphex has donea lot for electronic music... analord is just a nostaLgic turn, but it shows lots of quality, thought nothing new. i ENJOY IT A lot... but I think this is like a goodbye release |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
To this thread, I say this: No. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you say no, like: aphex is not my fav or you say no like in: this thread sucks |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
SAW I will always be an important lp for me, but having listened to a lot of his other stuff recently, I find him a bit hit and miss. When he is good, he is fantastic, but i feel there is a lot of filler in some of his releases........... So is he my favourite musician, no. Ae take that spot, beacause of the quality they have produced at each stage of there career. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Everything Richard does/did, I found someone else that does/did it better. But he's sort of a jack of all trades. One of the things I'll remember fondly is how interesting it was to dig through his discography all those years ago, very educational. I'm sure it was that way for some other younger IDM n00bs. Very eclectic, a good hub into all kinds of genres and sounds. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It's all inclusive. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"but I think this is like a goodbye release" right..i'll go kill myself now.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sad thing is... he's probably right! :'( !!!!! i'm wearing my aphex t-shirt. it's such a nice fit. love it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what makes you say that? his best is yet to come, im sure of that..he's only getting better with age!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what music will he make in his 90ies? interesting question... And the looks.. what will 90 year old RDJ look like? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i doubt he'd be still making music at that age (although it'd be great), but i KNOW he'll be making great stuff in his 50's and i can't wait to hear that..it's going to be the new 'futuristic' john cage type of thing or something. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
good reason to carry on living and earning money to be able to buy it or download or hear live. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's quite a reason yeah :) btw, i'll see him live this thursday if something doesn't go wrong.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it gets old very quickly? are you for real? compared with whom? how the fuck does windowlicker or vordhosbn sound like it was made last decade? sorry but bollocks. |
||||||||

Q. is aphex my favourite musician? A. no yes he once was. and now id rank autechre over him. i first discovered aphex with the , 4 x vynil mega pack back in the strange and beautiful days of 1993. it came with a cool booklet that talked about some guy that had his own tank. the track on that record was a special version of analogue bubble bath 3. before that id only heard trancy and house type techno. so yeah that was something quite different for me. another trip to the same record store and the guy there recomended me - - > i listened to it in the store and thought wow.. this stuff is awesome. did not know that it was also by mr. tank engine RDJ. later on i found copies of: *donkey rhubarb *on *ventolin *saw II and other such classics. i did not no that such techno was called IDM back then. all that i knew was that it was special and very different to any other stuff that i had heard before. he seemed to be trying to do something different to what else was around at the time or at-lease something different to what i had access to, to hear at the time. breaks. balls out hardcore like his mixes of Mescalinum United / mover - we have arived. and yeah.. coz it was vynil you could play it at what ever speed you wanted.. ahh the joys of vynil.. anyway.. he will always be a special artist to me. he changed the way i thought about techno being just dance music to being something fully experimental. soundscapes or just audio buggery. we would not have an xltronic.com without him. and autechre and definately warp records would not be where and what they are today with-out his music. thank you Mr. RDJ. you have changed my life and im sure many others for the better.. big up : ) |
