don't get too hung up on labels... no matter what, you are
just going to cause confusion

which part of them?
both their works so diverse!

I'd say it to me WAS wickedly intelligent intricate copy and
paste antics, having a basic repeating pattern of varrying
handfuls of symmetrical units, but due to the fast paste
many repetitions of the basic pattern are possible and many
purposeful flaws in the pattern are created to keep the
symmetry mixed up... But it has kind of diminished in
interest lately... The melody is the main problem, some of
it is still pretty wicked, I just don't listen to it much...
otto von schirach, richard devine, phoenecia are better more
intelligumentally craftamed. I REALLY like what aphex did
with squarepusher's influence (if he was influenced by him)
in like, the RDJ album and come 2 daddy... he used similar
copy paste antics but kept intelligent melody, making
supremely wicked creations like the 2nd song in RDJ album
and flim etc... like the sorta bass drum sound in flim is
"cute" because different hits are different pitches sorta
and different hits are different sounding, squarepusher uses
the same exact sounds for each strike of sound... usually.

for other retarded mistakedes.

LOL

i wonder why we feel the need of giving names to
everything... thats the labels problem that want to sell the
product...but we must not see music as a product... so no
need to give it a name...aphex´s music is just
that...aphex´s music

Any two things have some similar and some different stuff
between them... you can choose any characteristic and use
that to form groups. You can group all music made with
computers into a group. If there are varying shapes
(triangles squares circles) of varrying colors, you can
group them by shape or color... etc. shuddup m

"dont get hung up on labels!"
give me a fucking break. i am not hung up on the labels. i
want to know the genre i should try to fit him. my best
guess is psychelic drum'n'bas (with serious jazz flavours).
what if i try to describe his music to someone who has never
heard him? i cant even possible imagine to describe the
sounds he produces. categorizing him, drawing a few lines
for each to work their imagination around is not getting
hung up on categorizing music.
thanx to ophecks wmw and especially taoist blockade. it
would of been so much easier of you guys to just say "its
music, why labels?" and all that jizz i cant bear to
read/hear without reacting.
