I enjoy both. I don't pick some artists over other artists...
Or think one is better than the other. Why bother when you enjoy both artists for what they offer you musically...
Seriously. That's fast becoming a boring argument...

I think they definately get a lot from each other...you only need read that bit by AFX on the back of FeedMe to see he was a big fan...
That kinda influenced him as well..HAB is like a reaction by AFX to SQPR really...

i like aphex twin much better, but that doesn't mean aphex twin is better. simply means that i like vanilla icecream with slices of banana and shredded coconut on top.

in terms of the intricacy of the music, squarepusher is ahead imo!
you' right, its stupid to think about artists and their music
theres no difference, they're all 'good' and its that simple

yeah i like squarepusher's flavour [hehe] more
they're both very good, of course
aphex twin is maybe a little bit simpler i think... (not necessarily worse, just not as ridicoulsly hectic as squarepusher)

I guess SQPR is more of old school muscian, as he does play quite a few instruments...
but I don't think SQPR is as good a composer as AFX...
so I dunno really...they are both great in their own ways really...

I think they both feed and push and drive and inspire each other..without AFX there will be no []< and without []<, AFX would sound like a different entity from what it is today..
it's a Symbiotic relationship...

i don't see any point in comparing the two, as their music is very different.
aphex is still better though;)

aphex is way better, too many of spushers cds arent that good. if all of toms cds were as good as go plastic then itd be a tough decision. i know some of you like the jazz stuff a lot but im not much into those cds by him. it really depends on which type of idm you like, i suppose you could make a valid reason for spusher being better but aphex was really a pioneer of idm, if you know what i mean.

but aphex gets way more attention and praise than squarepusher

I don't think they're comparable. Jenkinson probably has more technical ability but James can write beautiful orchestrations, they both do their own thing. I prefer pusher but that's just my taste.

pusher is much more technical, but aphex is just more emotional in his orchestrations, and hes a master of melody, which i think tom could work on a bit. and the stuff on drukqs is about as hardcore as anything squarepusher has ever done. still, they're both completely different artists.

both are insanely talented, but i think squarepusher has a lot of surprises left to offer. i dont expect aphex to revolutionize (that would be for a 2nd time) anything else, but ive got the impression that squarepusher will do so.
all i know is that ive been listening to a whole lot more squarepusher than aphex in the past year or so...

Heeeeeeeeellllllllll no, Aphex chews up Tom and spits him out. It's not even close.
A more important question in my mind (I love artist vs artist battles, no matter how asinine) is APHEX TWIN VS AUTECHRE.
