I come back to aphex

over this last year I always thought that I prefered
autechre to aphex...well, things must have changed in my
brain cos I see it clear now... aphex is the first in my
heart, I still think autechre are amazing and they come
really close, but aphex is just too much

tha last night, and it was a great reminder.

Orbital is good. Very good. Very very good.

Haha, indeed. They're still ranked #1 on my list.

And actually, I've kind of drifted away from 7\fx recently.
I've been appreciating µ-ziq's and Plaid's work much more.
Especially Plaid's older work such as Trainer and Bytes from
Black Dog Productions

for me, coil and einstürzende neubauten have finally beaten
nine inch nails, who is getting into the depths of my top
artists (even though i still love it)! autechre has never
been in my top artists though... aphex may have, but
probably not anymore, i guess he's 4th or something like
that! who's 3rd? i don't know! which do i prefer between
coil and EN? i think they should breed and have children!
no, not really! now playing coopers world, hey, i almost
forgot how good it was! i want to eat some fudge now!

I see orbital is taking a lot of power in this board lately

i have inally realized that fsol are the most amazing artist
ever. rdj and radiohead comes as a good nr 2. autechre does
not even near the top 5. there'd be portishead and gong and
whatnot to beat.

i still cant decided between Aphex Twin, Radiohead, Sigur
ros or the smashing pumpkins. They always phase through as
favourites according to my mood
nautilis and susumu yokota would come a second

I know nothing about susumu yokota... what am i missing?

neetta i think fsol is definitely underated, but it afx
seems so much more personal, like you know who he is through
is music. So even if his music started to suck and he went
downhill like elvis there would always be a spot for him in
the ranks

susumu yokota is an ambient genious :)
sakura, and grinning cat are amazing albums. Really
beautiful stuff

true. but in its anonymity fsol still manages to take me to
such places no other band can. although i dlled some lfo and
found that it was verrrrry good too, but i doubt it will
ever match fsol.

Haha thxs. From what I remember seeing you as well have
very similar tastes as I do, even outside of IDM.

Neeta, I think FSOL are my all-time favourite too.

So, it goes like this:

1) FSOL
2) Aphex Twin
3) Squarepusher
4) Plaid
5) U-Ziq

RDJ will always surpass any artists in ways you couldn't
possibly comprehend. That face in {equation} is just the
beginning.

aphex twin and autechre both seem to be masters of their
very different realms. they don't really fall on similar
scales to me. i love them both, and maybe one more than the
other while listening.

i'd say his music is much more than ambient
