obviously this was wrong.

GESCOM - very overrated

Aleksi Perala - very underrated

Squarepusher - latest 2 releases aren't as good as early
releases

µ-Ziq - very influential, some people need to know his
work

:'(

I think I'll vote for Gescom as a vote for how silly this
is. It's all silliness.

Stop that. Squarepusher isn't that good... i'm getting bored
with many of his releases. Gescom is maybe not really
better, but Aphex Twin, BOC or Autechre are far before Tom
J. IMHO.

gescom is nice but uziq, plaid, squarepusher are first in my
book

not to talk about orbital

for me the 4 finalists this year should have been:

autechre
squarepusher
venetian snares
uziq

I guess I don't "get" µ-ziq.

Points: 31271 Status: Lurker



boc: they have done nothing since 2002

and apart from that what they had done before is nice, but
very little and always the same

gescom: I believe they shouldnt have taken place in this
comp as they are a side project by autechre... but people
wanted so...

aphex: only one ep in 3 years is too poor to get to the
semifinals in 2004, no matter how much I like his music
__________________________________________________

uziq: one of the most underrated artists here, and probably
the most talented with aphex, but he has released as muziq
and as kid spatula and both are great releaes, not to talk
about his back catalogue which is tremendous

venetian snares: as much as some may hate him, he is the
strongest new talent out there... he just started releasing
stuff in 2001 and he is really prolific, but in this 3-4
years he has put out some great albums and some magnificent
eps (songs about my cats, doll doll doll, wiboas, giant
alien, moonglow....) defineteluy the most growing artist
nowadays

squarepusher: for me he is a genious, he has a great back
catalogue with masterpieces such as hard normal daddy, feed
me weird things and music is rotted one note, but then in
2001 he makes an excellent funky album (go plastic) and now
he does this eclectic (kind of career summary) album which I
consider one of the best of 2004.... I htink he should have
wined this year.

i'm here just for a fast visit... well, i'm really surprise
about GESCOM anyway they did a good job in this
championship. I'm sad for Squarepusher (he deserved to pass
'cos ultravisitor is a great release).

Remember... on Monday... Semifinals.

Today and Tomorrow are free days for our champions who are
trying to relax...

Gescom guys (and are a lot) are relaxing in a big swimming
pool with very cold water, in an unknown place...

Aphex Twin is driving his TANK in center of London just for
relax his mind. It seems police don't try to stop him.

Autechre (Rob and Sean) are playing like mad to Metroid
Prime and Rob seems better than Sean.

Boards of Canada are lie down in a big green park with a
fresh beer in their hands, they like to listen nature's
melodies.

pfft Gescom/AE are way overrated on this board. I mean
c'mon HOW can you prefer Gescom over µ-ziq when Gescom has
barely released any material compared to Mike P. Their
sound isn't anything to climax over....jeez.

I just don't get it.

why are people griping about this?

at fucking last this competition has become at least
slightly less predictable and thereby more interesting and
everyone starts crying into their cornflakes.

It doesn't matter who wins really... what is annoying is
that if Gescom wasn't Sean and Rob, not only would people
have not have heard of them, they wouldn't have even given
them a listen or be rating it on the fact that it IS
Autechre just under another name. Shambles.

cos astrobotnia series are shit and therefore didn't make it

that doesn't mean gescom are any better though :)
i saw them live last year...but it was only rob hall with a
dj set, which was crap.

and you sure as hell can't back it up - discussing what

I think I'll leave this competition alone from now on -
people are taking this WAY too seriously.

It seems that people voted for the artists they prefer for
their all carriers and not for last months releases... But
this championship wasn't for those last months... this can
explain why Squarepusher didn't qualify.

I think that AFX, Boards of Canada and Autechre deserve to
take part in semi-final. The thing is less obvious for
Gescom. In Fact i would rather have prefered to see artists
like Fennesz, cause Autechre's sound and Gescom's one are
really near.

Squarepusher ? Yes maybe he should have been in
semi-final... but i voted Gescom coz those days I don't
really listen to IDM but rather pop music or experimental
electronica (but calm one) and Squarepusher bores me a
little (I hope it won't last too long).

Good luck to Gescom for semi-final, but i think they won't
be i final... We will see.

i think everyone saying this isnt fair because "gescom are

gescom.

surprising results nevertheless!!
