As long as I play 'Come to Daddy' on top volume with my windows open, the Aphex legend will never die... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
here I discovered so many new artists... apart form the big 6 (ae, afx, plaid, boc, uziq and []) now I love venetian snares, lfo, fsol, luke vibert, richard devine, chris clark, bola, cylob, ovuca, raczynski... and so many more |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'd agree with aesthetics on this. the legend will never die. aphex is the father of these current styles of music, and will forever have a legacy in the PAST. his time is over, but what he has done for music will live on in those who we choose to follow from here on out. someone will always come along in the future and do what you do, but better. and that person is... VENETIAN SNARES |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
i wish he would do an ironic remix and really make it commercial sounding so he gets to appear on totps and have those scary bear things thrusting their pelvis at all the jailbait |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
Why is everyone so ready to kick richard of the thrown all the time. He releases one record you don't like and boom. He can run circles around anyone. All these artisits can't touch him. He's capable of anything. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
VENETIAN SNARES better? Pleeeeaaasee. Snares makes mods. big difference. He makes kid music. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
A snares listening experience..."Oooo, he put those bassdrums really close together" The end. |

the fickle world of IDM |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
To the toppermost of the poppermost. Yeah I miss his fun stuff, Drukqs and Smojsuck (dis) lacked a certain pizazz. Bring back da bearz. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
snares is such a one trick pony he should have hooves. No offence. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Drukqs had it all, and you KNOW it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
drukqs is genious in my opinion but it was my first ever aphex I understand that people who knew his music from the early ninetees should have seen drukqs as some kind of lame repetition of previous works I dont care I love it |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
this question has turned a lot of times in my head.. but it all end up in the same answer.. aphex twin is still my alltime favourite musician. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
drukqs is my favourite. of all albums i've heard. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I am a long time afx listener and drukqs was different. Not what I was hoping for, but different. i like it in a different way. drukqs is kinda like a chuck close portrait. So much detail. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Except Chucks details make a picture. I'm not quite sure drukqs does. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
aphex isn't over, druqks is just the beginning of something, im waiting to see his next step. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I hope you are right... but we dont really have to worry. what if he is over? we still got all that he has done which is great... and there will always be other people and from time to time we will have some excellent genious like him lets just enjoy what hes done, and if he does more, great but if he doesnt we dont have to be like mad at him or something, we cannot oblige him to do what he doesnt want to |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Im ready to kill him, actually. Who the fuck is gunna be that good again? Certainly no one now. I hate to puff his ego, but fuck. He did Bucephalus Bouncing Ball. No one could do that. No one. And with no prior reference. Except bouncing balls. Or Nanou,...Fuck...So inventive, so thoughtful..What a master. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well he is great but there are some other great names still active and in good form: autechre and squarepusher and of course many many more |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I don´t think another genious like this will stand up ever again, and that is because we now have heard almost every new sound that can be heard, thanks to all the new electronic gear that was invented the last ±30 years, maybe we will hear some variations and a few new sounds in the future but I think that the freedom of sounds that for example Aphex and Autechre could use is over... when people will be thought about music history within 100 years I bet the late 80´s untill now will be marked as an important period "the electronic revolution" in all its variaties |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
my favourites over the past few years went .. pet shop boys, underworld, skinny puppy, download, autechre, and now its team doyobi - theyre pushing it the hardest right now in my opinion :) pet shop boys though have always been in a class of their own. so yer, those two! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I have to disgree that sounds like the end of the world lots of music revolutions are sure coming int he future... when new ways of making music appear and probably like our parents we will just like the music we liked when were young (now) and will not like the new musics that our children will listen to |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
don´t get me wrong there will always be good music but imo not as groundbreaking/inventive as for example he was |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I understand you and I htink you are worng isnt it too innocent to think that there wont be another groundbreaking music era? wait and see... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think kraftwerk achieved a lot more than any recent electro artist .. their music was only ever optimistic, none of that dark and scary nonsense that is in fashion now |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, I really think that won´t happen anymore maybe some nice variations in the future tho like with colors, in the last decade we managed to see/create all the possible colors we could make thanks to computers, we now only combine colors to create "new ones" I think that is what we have with sounds aswell now, I hope my feeling is wrong though... |

i like what youve pointed out there because i can analogise the way i view that music will progress just as in painting, its not the elements themselves, but they way they are put together/juxtaposed, that is interesting id like to see songwriting totally change :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Aphex was my favorite but i don't listen to it anymore (i still like it tho). These days my favorites must be Amon Tobin and Xploding Plastix http://www.xplodingplastix.com |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, we have diferent view on this... only time will tell and when I have 60 years I will come here to say: "ha! I was right" ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the we have an appointment I will be here at 2064-07-31.. I hope I will still be alive to prove my right ;) |
||||||||

if by fav. you mean i still go to bed with him then yes... wait did someone already made this joke? i'm sorry i take it back i take back all *skips away* |
||||||||

i don't expect nothing from afx, and i think the way isnt sayin all is done, if beatles had thought that... or hendrix, or afx... Not that afx is the only one to innovate, but is the most inventive man i've heard, others are fucking good, squarepusher's tetra-sync is an orgasm. But afx is still ahead. PD: anyone can give me an opinion on E20 Crunch by Yee-king? (it's just that i got obsessed with that one) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
afx is still ahead? since when did this happen? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it happens all the time, right under you nose |
||||||||
|

Bucephalus Bouncing Ball was just samples. We have shitloads of software to play with samples now. Can you make Bucephalus Bouncing Ball? .It doesn't matter what technology is around. It's the creativity of the artist. |

there was a member on here who could make the same sound, don´t know anymore who it was |
||||||||

Actually, Drukqs is my favorite Aphex album, overall. But it's still missing something for me, some intangible. It could have been even better. |
||||||||
|

sm penyworth? |

i'm pretty much done with Aphex Twin, and with idm in general. it's not that i don't like it anymore, but i'm just not interested in it anymore and i must listen to idm stuff once in a blue moon now... it's the past for me, like i used to play with coloured cubes with letters and numbers on them when i was very young, i don't have anything against them but it's just not my thing anymore : ) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it could have been him, but I am almost sure it is someone else |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i cant be arsed to read this whole thread. yes aphex is still my favourite, there'll never be another repeat of when i first heard his music. its like being born you only do it once |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
never again will we see pluto for the first time |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it had been a long time since one of my threads reached so many answers |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that is because it is a good thread! :) |

I'm the same - I'm not really into the IDM scene these days - I loved the early Warp and R&S stuff though, but things were much fresher back then - I can see how someone new to the whole scene would get a lot of inspiration from the current stuff though. Still Aphex Twin was the guy who got me into this music (along with Autechre), and over the past 10 years many acts have come and gone, but I'm still blown away every time I hear RJ's music. I doubt I'll ever stop listening to SAW'85-92 or Tri Repetae. So yeah - RJ (and Autechre) is still my favorite. One-off musical genius and no mistake. |
||||||||

I haven't really been listening to a lot of ''IDM'' lately, but it's just a cycle. All it'll take to get me back into the swing of things is that one brilliant album I haven't heard yet. Or one that I HAVE heard, but not lately. Like, say, an older Aphex Twin album. |
||||||||

Aphex is and will always be the king of electronic music. |
