Arovane is just okay in my books. His music is pretty but
not very original.

I group him into a long list of Autechre followers that
include: Phonem, Isan, Arovane, Fizzarum, Michell Akiyama
and countless others.

arovane is just blah to me. i like one song by him:
deauville, off of tides. thats it. the rest of his (or is it
more than one person?) stuff is just boring.

i don't think that Arovane is an ae rip-off... not even this
album, which is off-cited as such... arovane's sounds is his
own, and it is a gorgeous one... he has earned the
relatively large fanbase he has now... this album reveals
surprising subtleties the more you listen to it, and
ultimately, i think it is as valuable as Tides in his
discography... beautiful bearly palpable baselines, baroque
percussion, and gorgeous airy ambiance make this an album
that i will return to again and again... from an ambient
perspective: easily one of the finest that the IDM oeuvre
has offered, from easily one of it's finest artists... to me
Arovane, more than a lot of artists, proves that a track
doesn't have to be incredibly busy to be incredibly
interesting...

Arovane = amazing, original

i think people label arovane as an autechre rip off because

1. arovane uses beats
2. arovane uses melodies

and

1. autechre uses beats
2. autechre uses melody

so hopefully you can see where the connection lies.

man, all these other groups rip off autechre so much too!
man theres no original music around anymore! warp forever!
argh! ra etc.

Arovane is great...even though i think Tides is his best,
Atol Scrap is very very good. Icol Diston is nice too. i
think its very pleasant for its melodies and wet sounds and
completely different than AE, nowhere near as abrasive and
much more melodic.

I love this release. And stop comparing everyone to
autechre.

never understood the comparsion to autechre. arovane is not
groundbreaking music, but is damn nice. tides is my
favourite. and im trying to find the other albums on cd
somewhere.

I dig all of Arovane's stuff, even the by-the-numbers older
stuff because it's so damn catchy. It just moves my mind
elsewhere when I listen to it.

Anybody comparing him to Autechre hasn't listened to either
artist and are fronting something weak and wimpy. So :P to
them.

i don't like this release much. Much worse than Tides or
Cycliph EP, as for me.

Yeah, comparing Arovane to Autechre is not right.

I really like Amine off this album, with its dreamy, vague
melody and pads.

i got this a couple days ago. doesn't interest me as much as
it used to. i've actually been searching for this cd for a
couple of years and warp just had some available.

People who can't see a similarity between arovane and ae in
mood are stupid. I love ae and really like arovane.

The release is pretty nice.

People are stupid.

hm, i was talking about Icol Diston, actually.
Icol Diston, Atol Scrap... easy to confuse. I didn't have
Atol Scrap since today. Now I have it, 4/5. Better than Icol
Diston :) I liked the last track Atol Scrap very much.

After that Commute by Wires by VLR & GOM I can say I'm
fallen in love with "amine". I'm totally addicted with it.

arovane is great...look to his label ties and the hardwax
crew...he obviously has a musical place nearer to monolake
and pole and basic channel more than autechre.
