I consider aphex the real genious of electronic music... even though many times I seem to prefer autechre... at the end aphex is the only one that reaches some genious status imo... what other artists do you think are somehow similar to aphex in the other art expressions (painting, sculpture, architecture, photography...) in architecture I think I would compare him with koolhas |
||||||||

|
|
no one aphex is just like me the art of perception the view in which others see you he has mastered it, as have i :) and it works wonders. |

rdj - da vinci of electronic music |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
maybe koolhas is not a sgood as an architect as richard is as a musician... so I will change my option to lecorbusier |

Aphex is a good musician in a bland scene, I wouldn't class him as a genius because I think the word is far too overused. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

aphex is really talented... but he does these stupid things all the time - he does have a weird sense of humour... but yeah I love a lot of his work, especially the short albums (rdj album/come to daddy) and drukqs. Actually I don't own "I care because you do"... should I buy it as soon as possible? |

I haven't listened to "ICBYD" either =/ dunno why, it has been kept away from me. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes, it's very nice |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ok. I'll add it to my must-buy list... =) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ok ICBYD and I care because you do, same album. (i do think you know this, but it seems kind of confusing what you write?!?) Anyway, when you get used to it, it is a truly brilliant album. I really listen 2 it a lot! |
||||||||

ICBYD is the album that makes RJ seem like such a genius to me... Along with the SAW albums - ICBYD is really "arty" sounding to me. I'd rate it as his most interesting work, and most melodic in places. I'd actually say Kurt Cobain has a similar thing going on too - Obviously a very different perspective musically, but he was pushing boundaries and doing it all for his own satisfaction... Very reminiscent of RJ to me actually. |

hehe. no I what I meant was: in my first post I wrote "I don't own", and then I wanted to make clear that I hadn't listened to it either... I have heard a couple of tracks though... and they were good. |

kubrick for film |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Woah, woah! C'mon, Kubrick's a good director, but he was not one to break new ground. Don't get me wrong, he was fantastic and he has some phenomenal films under his belt, but there's just no way he compares to the aphex asystematic approach to his art form. A good example for film would be Jean Luc Godard, whose films emphasize the fun and joy of filmmaking while still making sense and being enjoyable! :) |

i don't like the terrm. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
Godard is grrrrreat! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well... perhaps I don't like him that much... I prefer François Truffaut... he's grrrrrrrrrreeeeaaaat! |

I've been dying to see Les Quatre Cents Coups for several months now--can't find it anywhere though! :( |

Yeah, thought so, GET THAT ALBUM!!! |

I consider no-one as a genius. In the end it all comes down to your own imagination. Thinking someone's a genius is just based on your own point of view and that view can change over the years. Richard d james isn't a genius, he's a genius for my mind. It's all about your way of thinking and not his. |

the guy who invented the wheel was a genius. think about it, would you have come up with it back then? (now, it would be a tad arrogant to say 'yes' :P) |

|
|
magritte for painting |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes :P hehe, no but seriously. I was talking about artists, not inventors. :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ok! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
maybe kubrick in cinema... demiurg (does it exist in english?)creators... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
jackson pollock ... the only decent original american painter, no-one can touch him. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
cos if someone got near him, he'd chuck paint over them ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
andy warhol or some other reactionarty artist guy |
||||||||
|
|

do you mean Remco Koolhaas, the dutchie..? his name is spelled with 2 a's.. :) anyway.. I hardly EVER use the term genius. I would certainly NOT call RDJ that. only person I have thought of as being a genius recently, must be mr. David Lynch. and I feel uncomfortable using that term even when I believe it to be correctly used. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
I cant believe nobody said Squarepusher. I've pondered with the thought that he and aphex are the some person, at times. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
whats the problem you all have with using the word genious? now dont tell me lecorbusier or picasso werent genious |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
rdj isn't a genius, a prodigy maybe and has the sense of humour to fuck around with his rep, whereas most "geniuses" (or is it genii) take themselves too seriously |
