In the past year or so we've seen these electronic heavyweights come forward with their latest offerings. After having purchased: Aphex Twin: Drukqs Autechre: Confield Boards of Canada: Geogaddi Squarepusher: Go Plastic I contend that Autechre are the only ones to live up to expectation. Drukqs - Brilliant at times although inconsistent -- sucks at times too. His worst offering yet. Geogaddi - Rehash of their first album. Absolutely NO musical progression. It has more of a pop sensibility. Does nothing for me. Go Plastic - A valiant effort from Mr. Pusher but altogether lacking inspiration. I'm still attempting to wrap my head around this one he gets second place. Confield - An incredible piece of work which like the rest of their recent releases seems to just get better and better with time. Please note: No one else has my brain so your opinions will likely differ. |

I haven't heard Confield of Go Plastic, but Geogaddi is amazing imo... |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
Drukqs is alright... not close to being his best however... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
Confield is sheer genius. i agree it comes out on top. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, drukqs is mad over rated. all these people are coming up to me at school when i wear my aphex twin t-shirt, and they're like "do you have drukqs?! isn't it awesome?!" i'm thinking of re doing the shirt with "p.s. drukqs is over rated" on the back. |
||||||||
|

| |||||||||
|
|
at least people at your school know Drukqs even exists!!! :) |

Confield and Geogaddi both met my expectations. Though if BoC's next release is mroe of the same I will be disapointed to say the least. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
yeah, there's some aphex twin fans, i'm guessing most of them like rdj so they can name drop and be considered cool.. but i'm the only one who knows boards of canada, which is really depressing. i recomend them to everyone, but no one will listen. i even made a boards of canada shirt to try to get people to listen to them. everyone's like, "wait, canada makes surf boards?" the aphex twin shirt i made seems to get much more attention. |

|
maybe it's me, but BoC seems to change a little with almost every release. the first i heard from them was the in a beautiful place... single, which is fairly different from everything else they've done, in my opinion. but you can note differences in each release, for the most part. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes, I agree... A Beautiful Place is definately different from Music has the Right, and Geogaddi is very different from both of them as well... it's very apparent to me... |

for once i'm not completely talking out of my ass! or as white rapper bubba sparxxx would say :"spittin' that booty chatter" haha, i love that phrase. :gives my self a hi-five: |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Funkmaster... you gotta listen to some more stuff@! you are missing out... actually i disagree... BoC is the least diverse of the big 4... sure there is some growth, but BoC has the most limited palette and mood... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
yeah, autechre are the only ones that never stopped evolving after each release. it's not an easy thing to do, that's why they are on top of evryone in the electronica scene. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ps - ae doesnt win by tko, it's a straight up ko ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i cant decide which one i favor more. there is sheer brilliance in both albums(confield, drukqs) it's 54 Cymru Beats vs. Lentic Catechresis for me |
||||||||
|

What's your picture from Cortex? It reminds me of Autechre. |
||||||||
|

|
|
cabbog: gescom - that ep you were close ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
its the gescom logo it looks turned upside-down, tho.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
bagh! beaten! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Well I'll be! Say, are any of Gescom's cds readily available or were they all limited runs? I heard a few songs by them('Puzl', 'Go Sumo', and 'Go Sheep')that I really liked. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
only the keynell ep is available on cd i believe. |
||||||||

|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and yes, the logo is reversed. this ep - right side up that ep - up side down |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i wish there was more gescom :( stuff like "lego feet". that just makes me bounce. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
in fact some of the greatest tracks i've ever heard come from gescom, all types |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ive got a feeling that theyll rerelease all the gescom material on some kind of compilation in the future. when ae were asked a question about rereleasing gescom material on the warp q & a, they answered something like "noted". that would be incredible indeed. |
