another question to put this topic back in track : Does aphex twin love all other IDM but his own ? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it would be hard to love idm and hate everything by aphex twin indeed... because he has a dozen of different genres. ...unless you hate his persona, the way he works or something like that, this bringing you to dislike/avoid everything related to him... |

If you like IDM/braindance/electronica/whatjewcallit then you have to like Aphex 'cause he influenced all dat shit. For instance, when I first heard Boards of Canada in '98, I thought : "S'okay, sounds a bit like "I care because you do". |

I can understand that for a neophyte, RDJ music could be challenging, but I think that his oeuvrre is mostly marrvelous. |

oh gosh, don't listen to tolstoyed - if there ever was a "pothead" or "stoner dude", it was him. he's so high most of the time, you could call him permanently psychotic. anyway - I do like some of Aphex' tracks, but most of it seems utterly boring to me. and when people go on and on about his melodies, I really don't get it. most of his melodies seem pretty bland to me. |

yeah i posted that so the topic starter could see someones list of favorite idm artists, so that he can get a rough idea of peoples top 10. :) |
||||||||
|

|
|
so, just about NOBODY here really hates aphex. I suppose he's like the grandaddy of all this kinda music, and you can't hate a cheery old man like that. |

The guys in ae were doing at around the same time as aphex twin. Also if you listen to the trainer by plaid (that was happening at the same time as the black dog i think), which has alot of stuff from the early ninties on it too. You will realise that aphex isn't really the granddaddy of anything, rather the most well known of all of them. I think i will always love a large majority of aphex's work. He is not my fave artist in this field i suppose but faves are kind of stupid, don't you think? |

faves are stupid? isnt it just what suits your taste the most, or what music/melodies evoke a strong feeling within you? my first aphex experience was listening to blue calx in my headphones, on my own in the middle of the night in my room... it stirred something inside me.. as if something awoke, i think it was emotion and inspiration, which to me signalled the artist as some sort of genius, as i had never experienced music in that way before. i think i have upmost respect for rdj for doing that, and as a result i explored more and more of his music - i kept getting similarly rewarding experiences. i hope that anyone with a keen interest in music, let alone idm, wouldnt hate his music (not necessarily him!). i think he's a pioneer in his own right.. imagine trying to make saw 85-92, at the age of 17-odd with no pc software trickery etc.. and to maintain that consistently.. i just admire him and his music a lot. i'd happily claim him to be musical genius in fact.. i dont think his music is bound by time. |

untilted = music of the dog ass if you can listen to it, you have gone deaf and / or lost all aural sensibility. |

it doesn't matter that peoiple were doing what he did before him, the fact that he is the most popular and that he was the "king" of the scene when it was beggining makes him the grandaddy of idm, it IS a popularity contest when it comes to these things |

|
|
true, prevaricate is a good word. s/avade/evade. you shouldn't jump so quickly at a troll. True I think it's a terrible disc, but obviously I'm not stating that in a way which invites discussion. in a word: trolling. |
