Meaning no one is more bored of listening/reading what I have to say than me. I still think it's interesting no one managed to rip off early Twin, whilst a hoard of shitbags jumped on his Drukqs era as it's easier to disguise a lack of talent behind a cavalcade of cut up breaks. |

i could swear youre using some fancy oxford dictionary, man. |

early aphex is indeed incredible cavalcade?... you fucker |

You want to try reading a book one day, it'll blow your fucking mind. |

i have listened to aphex twin for so long, i simply don't know what to think of him/his music anymore. |
||||||||
|
|

as it happened to you ? ill treat it as advice then. and for now, begone, beggar. |

he makes it look very easy, but i think he really focuses on something he starts..but it's definitelly something else to hard work. im always impressed with how much musicians (at least the ones i like) know about music..its history..they're constantly making their own music or producing other people and they still spend so much time on getting to know music..other artists, influental and otherwise important musicians..it's great to see so much devotion to music..it's kind of like jazz musicians - they constantly practise..when they tour, when they're at home, probably while they shit..practise & learning all their life. aphex is well aware of what music was important in the past, which bands/artist stand out, who were the avant garde, who brought music to what it is nowdays..and he just continues on that, bringing in new interesting and inovative things. i think the biggest quality of his is that he can create music in sort of pop form, make it sound catchy and yet it's all avantgarde/experimental. he could probably go all experimental and academic and 'hard to get' but it takes way more to package that into a pop form..and he does it perfectly. |

I'd love to know what you were on about, just out of curiosity really. |
||||||||

|
|
so we like the analords now? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think he is amazing when he hits the spot, but he's released a fair bit of shit, too. I find Autechre more consistently high quality and interesting. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

I wish Aphex released music like he did in the days of Caustic Window. Those sound like damn good times for his music. It's a shame I didn't get into his music until the later releases. I'm from the Come to Daddy, Windowlicker era. I missed out on a lot, sadly. Analord was a great time for me because it was the closest I got to that time. K300i: yo! |

the HAB/RDJ/ICBYD days were the best. real pioneering IDM shit. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Autechre are better. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I guess it was harder to copycat his style back before the vst-revolution took off and the secret book of idm-trickery(fucked up beats) became known to all thanks to the great internet. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
his beats are fucked up and his melodies are lush. in short; fucked up beats and lush melodies. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
can someone post a link to some fake drukqs tracks that actually would be hard to distinguish from the real deal? that's what i thought. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Sure |
||||||||
|
|

Mislabled Erik Satie? |

Haha, or just a renamed vordhosbn. |

Recorded backwards. Oh no don't, that'll give Elusive ideas. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

I'm sure he has already tried it :p |
||||||||

im happy that this thread actually turned into an appraisal of good music instead of the typical rant about analord dissapointment. ever since he made drukqs, i have thought of him as a genius. in my opinion there was 4 albums who made him: drukqs, come to daddy maxi, richard d james album, and selected ambient works 85-95. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Alright, just did this since my last post, give me enough money and I will sit down four weeks straight and give you a full out clone, haha :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think he dropped the ball with Analord though. 4 singles would've been plenty, but 11 was a pisstake. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
There's a lot of good tracks though and as always; the more the merrier! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i must admit, i did not like analord at all. it has its moments, but overall not really the kind of thing i was hoping it to be. |
||||||||

cunty: im happy that this thread actually turned into an appraisal of good music instead of the typical rant about analord dissapointment. Don't go back on your post :D |

I've praised the hell out of his more intricate work before, but I listened to it recently after a long time of not listening to anything. It was farty compared to some professional conventional music. It has kind of a weak skeleton, or there's not much meat on it or something. Maybe you have to be in the right state of neurosis to get it. He probably has some sort of brain abnormality; you can how his brain pushes against the inside of his forehead in his pictures, causing his eyebrows to spread apart like some demented sadist. If anything though, he was a genius because drukqs is just shit. Listen to thriller's 2nd track then listen to your favorite aphex track right after. |

Listen to thriller's 2nd track then listen to your favorite aphex track right after. I do half agree with that. But then I think it's an unfair comparison, Thriller's aiming to do one thing (very well) and RDJ something else (in his own way). I don't think he could do a Thriller, no more than Jackson could do a SAWII. But it's good to clean out your ears with Pristinely Produced Pop inbetween bouts of more leftfield endeavours. |

ecnadniarb was saying he's the greatest in electronica. mj does fit in i guess. autechre are great, but i would pick aphex because his music is more as what most people understand music as. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I recently listened to all of autechre's music. My god it's boring. Of course there are a selection of songs I really like, but I think a lot of their stuff fails in the end. "slip" is what I'm thinking about here, starts out strong but completely loses its identity and interest. Maybe it was because I was sick. What am I talking about I really love untilted oh well |

His music has affected me like no other, listening to his songs is such a personal experience. Its amazing music can be this good. I cannot put into words how much I love Aphex Twin's music. He seems to be able to poor so much emotion into the music and give it such soul and that gives me warm feelings.. Fuck I can't comment on this without writing a thesus or sounding like a fuckhead fanboy. So I'll leave it, let my official answer be "yeah" |
||||||||

Thriller does sound very aphex. Especially in that bit before Vincent Price speaks with that wicked bass sound. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Aphex must get physically ill by things sort of threads. For someone in the entertainment business he seems to hate attention. |

hey lady, aphex is behind you. |

I have been recently listening to alot of his stuff again recently. I think although i have played it to death in the past, his music really stands up to repeated listens. I think drukqs is his finest work. I really have alot of time for that album. |
||||||||
|
|
