If you were to choose one IDM/electronica artist that you think is the most talented, who would it be?
My vote goes to FSOL, because their music (especially the new album) is all REAL with REAL talent, more so than RDJ, who just does hs stuff all on computers. He can't pick up an electric guitar and start playing it, you know what I mean? Anyway, that's just my humble opinion.
What do you guys think?

my gf has studied music for a long time, and she thinks autechre are basic and have very little clue about music theory... after listening to my cd's she thinks Squarepusher is the best... theory and ability wise

def, tracks like avril 14th are kick ass
whether or not afx is the most 'genious' of them all or even most talented who knows, hes def top 5?
theres something about boc that really does it for me, not since afx have i fealt that way so i think they can be counted too.. it may not be talent in the sense of being able to play an instrument to a certan skill level, but in the final piece of music produced.

I cant decide...
and I dont think it would be fair If I did...
I love so many different artists, but in different ways.
I think its foolish to say someone is the best.
I mean, music isnt about being popular... its about expressing emotion...
I have different artists for different moods... and for me to pick one artist as the best... well, that would really shortchange and undermind all the other music I love.

I think Hershey's owns everything. Ever have a Snickers? It's a Hershey's. And M&Ms and Skittles, and things. Unless it says, "Nestle" or "Wonka," I think it's Hershey's!

think you can't play the computer like him :D think that's what counts in IDM
otherwise you should become a pop star or something IMO
i say Aphex as well listen to the melodies on Girl/Boy song and Alberto Balsalm for instance..

Avril 14th is the most throwaway of the drukqs piano tracks. Stuff like father and one of the ones on disc2 with slight detuned intervals over deep bass notes (before meltphace6 i think) are much more thoroughly composed and emotional. To adults I mean. Avril 14th is pleasantly naive.

Each artist has their own skills in each area. I just would go for Aphex because he is very creative with his skills hence his large back catalogue (what we get to see of it) varying quite a lot. The 'Thinking of you' album by Bogdan Raczynski also has some good arrangements in.

My vote goes to squarepusher. Cause hes creating totally unique music and he plays it all himself. On Music is rotted one note he played it all, drums bass Synthies.
I think on Album like Hard Normal Daddy, Budakhan Mindphone & especially MIRON he reaches a depth like no other atrist.
