Aphex Twin-RDJ Album, Autechre-Tri Repetae, BoC-Geogaddi, Squarepusher-Hard Normal Daddy, Plaid-Double Figure. These are my favourite albums of the big Warp artists. Some of you may disagree and choose other, but my question is; do you feel that these artists still haven't made their best music yet? Do you think that they will release better albums that YOUR favourites? I have a feeling that when these artists retire, split up or just vanish, these albums will still be on top of the list, imo.

they may be yet to make their best work. but life is too short to hang around. and what they've done already is pretty damn decent.

i think aphex has yet to release his best stuff, boc and ae too... squarepusher... not sure, i need to hear this new album to get a grip on his path, but you never know anyway. plaid, yeah. i don't think they'll make something like df/booc/p-brane/rpc ever again. but really, hard to make a prediction.

i dunno, i mean most artists 'classic' album is among their first 4 or so I think people struggle to accept any new direction or improvement on past ideas... the fact is not many recently debuting electronica artists seem like they are going to blow anyone away anytime soon

There needs to be a shift in attitudes towards making electronic music. If that shift truly radical, then most of the people here probably won't even like it. The same way UK hip hop heads don't rate grime.

ya but no new music is going to bring back that feeling of "discovering" electronic music (come to daddy, icbyd, etc), the nostolgic factor is gone, and that obviously plays a BIG role (i.e. looking back on things, memories, etc).
now with internet, music is pumped out and consumed? faster than ever before.
back then you kinda "discovered" things. now it's all on the table like a buffet.
analord is great but now that im knee deep into this stuff (i.e. it's the majority of what i listen to, unlike years back) it's assumingly not going to 'stick' like the other albums have/done.
face it.

music today is like web forums new versinos come out, people keep adding all this needless informatino, links, signatures, pictures, profile stuff, etc, when none of that really matters (it's about the damn content of the post, no?)
that's what music seems like to me, today.

I agree about the discovering part, that probobly holds true even more so to our parents buying records in the 60-70's.
Maybe it has to do with age, or if you discover an album at an important/memorable time in your life. However I do not agree that music today is like webforums.

I used to feel similarly inundated, but I think music discovery is manageable, I long ago found a sweetspot. I just have to consult with people whose taste I trust and click with, rather than read random reviews and ratings and lists and stuff and hunt things down impersonally. When I do that, it gets hairy. I've never enjoyed music more than I do now.

i think aphex has a decent chance of coming out with something completely groundbreaking still. maybe when 6.1 surround recordings are the norm or something.
but i think chris clark is the rising star now. he's going to be a great one, and these are some really hard footsteps to follow and stay original at the same time.

Agreed. I like both CC-albums, but I think his third albums will be better than both. I'm also waiting for the new Ovuca album. I hope that will be a peak

O RLY?
My point is that once everything gets into a nice comfortable groove for it's listeners it stops being radical. Another artist coming out with "lush pads" and "complicated beats" isn't really going to cut it as fresh anymore.
The fact is, we can't even imagine what the next innovative thing in music is going to sound like, because that's the whole point of innovative music in the first place. If you are too blinkered to see that, then I feel sorry for you.
I just have a strong feeling it will be something dissmised off hand by your average Warp-groupie.

For the last couple of years I have been buying nothing but jazz records from the 40's, 50's and 60's (in particular) and that has brought back that great feeling of discovery again. Some of the avant garde stuff from the 60's still sound extreemly progressive and fresh and when it comes to groove there is vast amounts of it to be discovered in jazz..
The only new electronic records I have been buying during this period are the new ones by Autechre's... I think they still make interesting music and I trust they will do for many years to come.

No matter what these guys do in the future there will always be fanboys crying about the change in style.
Aphex had people crying when he went all laptop and drum/drill n bass style, then he had people crying when he stopped being all laptop drum/drill n bass...
Oh yeah there'll be fangirls too.

As in life,some eras looks better than others. child/teen/adult/old. with artist/records happen the same. ..probably i will always love the teen works of the aphex twin.
maybe his old ambients works will be the hit of my death

I like the way you do the English Falito. Yeah, I usually am more keen on earlier aphex twin, but I've every confidence he'll do something else great before he dies. Unless he dies by accident or has some massive disease like every other 'prodigy' in the past I'm sure he'll do some great things to listen to, considering he mentions Stockhausen, Xenakis and Satie in interviews.

Good music is good music. It knocks me on my ass no matter how old I am. I'm not Dad music age yet, though. Not going to be busting out the phil collins anytime soon. The novelty of electronic music has nothing to do with how good it was to me when I was first discovering this stuff.
