ok, because of that other thread, we just have to make this contest. once and for all, let's vote on which artist is best: ae or afx??
of course, i realize it's a bit silly to compare 2 artists together when it all comes down to personal taste, which is by nature subjective, thus not really 'debatable'. both artists are very talented, no doubt about it, and theyve their own different ideas.
but anyways, im still intrigues to see wholl win this, so i suggest we keep scores!
again, this is just for fun, so just vote! and dont just take their last albums into consideration (drukqs vs confield). both artists have released a SHITLOAD of material...
let the madness begin:

Although I've been listening to a lot more autechre lately (more Ae than Aphex), RDJ reigns king. Autechre never captured some of RDJs ingeniuty and beauty, noone has.
(Despite your disclaimer you are probably going to get attacked by 10 people who refuse to compare shit)

aphex twin easy.
Autechre are good, but no one has come close to that aphex quality.
Ting! and yes, squarepusher is better than aphex, so that statement above is false.

let me answer that after ive bought Envane and Cichlisuite.
At the moment i'd say Aphex is a better all rounder.

I guess I'll say Aphex... but Autechre is my favorite 49% of the time. Aphex for the other 51%...

Aphex beats the pants of Autechre, but I really do love both. I think Boards of Canada would probably get more votes than Autechre at the moment--everyone seems down on AE because of ol' Gantz Graf about to reer its ugly head. :|

I like them both. Autechre has the [dis]advantage of having 2 points of view in their group. I don't think that one is more emotional than the other, but Aphex's emotions are probably more outright. Aphex has a sense of humour, where Autechre tends to be austere and serious. so I dunno. it's a toss-up. with both of them, I only listen to 1/3-1/2 of any given record, even though they're probably 2 of my 3 favourite artists/groups.
Brothomstates has been largely ignored and I think I'm going to cast a vote for him, since i know no one else will :)

music = music
music doesn't = ratings
ratings are for dumb numbering techniques. why ask "which is better" when you can listen to something & be taken to a place where no one really knows what's going on?
that said.
i am sick of poll questions.
