Aphex Twin vs Squarepusher

Hello,

Who do you think is better, Aphex Twin or Squarepusher? One
has better beats (Squarepusher), but the other has better
melodies (Aphex). I think Aphex Twin is better, because SAWI
and Analord are much better then anything Squarepusher has
put out.

What about you? :-) Who is your favorite?

Hi Aphex. I think you used to do good records then you got
lazy or delusions of granduer. I think Tom made one good
record, then made the same one over and over and over again
ad absurdum. I don't give a shit for "melodies" or "beats",
just do good records, you pair of cunts.

Squarepusher is nowhere near the level of Aphex.
Squarepusher had one, maybe two, good idea and based all of
his albums off that. Every album Aphex makes is so
drastially different from his others that you wouldn't know
they were his if you hadn't known.

Squarepusher is just a good idm artist, but Aphex is unique.

wat why isnt everybody saying Aphex?
Aphex has better beats and melodies
Squarepusher only made one good record and thats Big Loada
his records all have the same style and mood
aphex is just 10 times more diverse musically
and never released anything bad
with squarepusher you have lots of weak stuff
like burningntree and hello everything
sometimes squarepusher just sounds like ringtones

Aphex is my personal favourite, however, Squarepusher has
tons of underrated stuff and to call Aphex more diverse
isn't strictly true...Aphex has a wider sonic palette but
Squarepusher has, over the years, produced a wide variety of
sounds (some just totally ignored by people because it's not
a rinsed Amen - then these same people complaint he does
nothing but fast chopped Amen tunes).

It would never be a head to head thing anyway...they both
have their individual style and flavour and I personally am
grateful that both exist in alive form.

I would bet on Aphex for the win...

although in an all out grudge match... []pusher would bully
the beats till Aphex would cave in. I would much rather see
a world with more Aphex rather then Squarepusher.

.... even if he does have red hair.

Aphex produces better beats than Squarepusher. FACT!
Does higher BPM = better beats to you lot?

aphex does have better beats, theyre so punchy yet crispy
with a lilting wispyness. aphex all the way.

no it doesnt.... i agree that Aphex does better beats...
but SP does have a habit of being over the top with how he
dispenses them.

i like to listen to music by aphex twin with little speakers
on my ears and dance around in my room sometimes naked with
a mirror and then i like to play mario 64 for a long time
until i am sleepy and it is time to drink warm milk and
sleep. maybe a wank will ensue

Squarepushers beats w/ Aphex's production and sound pallate
would be something to hear.

one does better this, the other better that!!! haha!! You
can't say such things! they are both geniuses at melodies,
beats, harmonies, all of it! Tom Jenkinson is a master bass
player though that's for sure. But anyway... Different
styles of making music. Both absolutely wicked!
one can't choose if one really appreciates this sort of
music.
