still? was he ever?
in the aphex.nu days 99% of us proclaimed him as our fav musician
then in the early days of xlt (2002,2003) he always won the idm championship so it was clear he was our favourite still
but with time this has changed.... seems like people are getting to know more and more music... and aphex hasnt released much in the past 5 years
but now he released analords... did this change your mind? for good or bad?
is he your fav again? how has analord changed your opinion on his music?

He has never been my favorite to be honest. I always prefered listening to the likes of Squarepusher, BoC, Autechre, Plaid etc...

who's that sad?
Interesting topic..
For me RDJ has always been the daddy. He drew me into the genre and is the only one that may spit me back out.
Despite listening to loads more music since Aphex, I really haven't found an artist (other than Ae) to be as consistent in quality, both technically and emotionally.
For me Aphex has it because I think he is music is full of emotion and often innovation. Analord is a breath of fresh air, more so than Untilted, and I personally revisit Analord more often. But that extends with all of Aphex's stuff (Anal isnt even my fav of his).
I honestly believe RDJ is a musical genius. And since listening to Analord I have noticed how much body many other songs in the same genre lack.

The annoying thing is, we all know Aphex has the talent to obliterate everything out there, but his recent releases have been kind of half arsed. I just know he's got shitloads of amazing stuff lying around which will never be released.

i'll always have respect for him, but i don't think i would consider him my favourite anymore... i listen to aphex pretty rarely at this point, although when i do it feels like such an easy thing to do... like visiting a good friend who you haven't seen in a long time... i'm not really sure who my favourite would be anymore, there's too many different things to appreciate about music..

yeah, Ol' Richie is still my favorite.
He's still the only thing I can create my artwork effeciently to.
I just wish he'd get re-inspired and release albums like ICBYD and RDJ album again.

Well said. Aphex definately has my approval, but hes not my favorite, maybe he once at the top of the list, but now I dont really have anyone at the top anymore. Analord is great.

Good question, always current. I got to know him early (as for me), around 1997, when my mate introduced me to "Come to daddy". I was quite shocked then, I remember my friend being quite into his music, buying all the available records, but I was not convinced. After "RDJ Album" things changed, but I still do not consider him as my favourite musician in general. However, he`s my favourite artist when it comes to the "new" electronica.

he once was... now? nah, but then again his music is as it´s always been - the tracks that are good are larger than life and the others are just crap - the ratio has changed though - in 92-97 most tracks were great, nowadays 3 among 10 are....

Yeah, he did Windowlicker. Probably the greatest electronic song of all time. He could shit hundreds of these out and put everyone out of commission.

a few years ago i would have rated him somewhere in my top 5, but currently hes not even in my top 10. well maybe somewhere towards the bottom, but i havent listen to anything of the twin's other than that druqks mix by think toy, which is partly due to the fact that i lost 25 gb of music, including all my twin, autechre, boc, sqp..... im left with only the music i downloaded in the last like 3 months, which is pretty interesting.
