Actually I was noticing the AE/AFX debates on who is better. Indeed I voted for AFX, but as much as I respect him, AE also has a special place in my heart, and they are both great in their own ways. But it seems that lately the community takes no notice of another guy who is right up there in talent/style/creativity/etc... Squarepusher. Is there anyone on this board who doesn't like his music? |

Well, I'm not saying it... :| |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

I'm not a very big Squarepusher fan. At first listen I liked it, but it got old. From first listen I loved AFX, and to this day I still do...Maybe it's all those little voices in the backgrounds of his songs saying "aphex twin," maybe not... |

I'm talking []pusher albums like Go Plastic, Hard Normal Daddy, and FeedmeWierdThings. Those albums are fucking insanely good. And dont forget about Port Rhombus and Tequila Fish on Big Loada. Just inspirational. |

I would say that... :) []< |

I am actually one of the " wierdos " who likes []pusher more than AFX... But BoC the mostess...=) |

I actually like squarepusher the least out of the usual suspects (AFX, Ae, Global Goon, BoC, Plaid) but having said that Music Is Rotted One Note is one of my all time top 3 favourite albums. |

I love spusher, feed me, hard normal.., big loada, MUSIC IS ROTED... go plastic... lots of great albums.... you might not remember, but we did a competition in the MB (first woofer did one like a championsleague formula, with 1/4 finals semifinals and final) and spusher was the second, then I did another championship but with a league formula between 50 artists and the pusher was second or third I dont remember now, so here we really love the man, dont worry |

ahhhhh...the championship...GOODTIMES |

The problem with squarepusher, I find, is that most releases seem to have 1/2 really good releases and the rest are mediocre. If there was a release that had Tundra, Ufo over Lay, Beep Street, Goodnight Jade, Red hot Car all one it I'd buy it in a flash. |

There is little I don't have on original format by Squarepusher. Same with Aphex Twin. |

I'm a big fan of "Feed Me..." (best release on Rephlex) and "Hard Normal Daddy", but i think his latest albums (Go Plastic, Do You Know...) has gone from shit to the shittest. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I agree with Ceri... his albums are just too inconsistent for me. A 'Best Of' would probably be one of my top albums of all time. |

...no points for 4 hero? that's rather sad... :( les fleurs is nice it's nice i give 1 point to 4 hero, or am i too late... |

this is the final result of woofers championship... ------------------------------------------------ *** 1st Elektronic Championship.nu *** __________2002 EDITION____________ ------------------------------------------------ *** GRAND FINAL *** ----------------------------------------------- THE COMPETITION IS OVER... THE CHAMPION OF THE CHAMPIONS IS... AAAPHEXXX TWINNN !!!!!!!! ********************************** Final result Aphex Twin - Squarepusher = 29 - 17 ********************************** Aphex Twin is the champion of first edition 2002 of this Elektronic championship.nu He hasn't oppenets enough strong for him, but we have to do a big applause to Tom Jenkinson who did a really good championship. This competition will remain famous for the victory of Squarepusher against Boards of Canada first and Autechre then. Aphex Twin is the king, he had the benefit to play at home but he's really a great artist and made the story of electronic music so he deserves this victory. ...Anyway Richard would be very careful because a lot of artists want his crown in next championship edition. Thank you very much to you all for your important support to this nice game, and for your important vote! This is a really cool community. |

WHY DONT WE DO ANOTHER CHAMPIONS LEAGUE??? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Maybe we should do another after BOTH Ae's new album AND AFX new release is out...It could sway some minds.... |
||||||||
|
|

squarpusher is like aphex twin light theres always 3-5 good tracks and some less good tracks on one album and with aphex almost all tracks are good |

i have never gotten into squarepusher, can't say i dislike him but can't say i like him either. and fsol are better anyway ;) |
||||||||

HAHAHA i though the champions league thread was about football so i never opened it :D lol |

fat controller and goodnight jade are 2 of my favs by squarepusher |

i can´t compare SP and the Twin... they are like brothers to me. They both DJ and do live stuff equally well as far as i can tell but in a compltely different way. They are both funky and groovey and catchy and melodic but are very different flavours. How can you compare Chocolate Icecream on a warm day to Hot Chocolale on a cold day? |

well said |

Same here. |

I don't know - I just don't put Squarepusher in the same class as Ae and AFX... While I love almost everything by both AFX and Ae, I think I like about 10-20% of Squarepusher's output. Go Plastic is phenomenal but normally he's just not as interesting. |
||||||||

Why wasn't RaidioHead in the league? I mean its kind of IDM,is it not? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
radiohead is definetly not idm. they kick ass and i luv them, but sorry no. idm = intelligent dance music.....radiohead.....dance......is it possible? |

Squarepusher is amazing! When i first bought Hard Normal Daddy i was simply blown away... i liked it more than any other idm-release i heard before that day (still today i think it is one of the most amazing albums ever created). I've bought some more Squarepusher-albums, and altough i find them all brilliant, nothing so far has lived up to HND for me... still... i reckon he's in about the same league as afx and ae for me :-) |
||||||||

ive been looking for hard normal daddy on vinyl for a while now. i must have it! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
And me. I Don't Like Squarepusher Very Much. However I do like most of Music is Rotted One Note. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
Squarepusher is my favorite and has been for the past few years. Aphex is a close second, he doesn't quite have the "funk" of the pusher I love so much. |
||||||||

|

anyone else manage to ever hear DJ Auras mix @ warprecords.com.. the warpradio section .. the top left corner brown button? I will keep pushing this until the mastery of it spreads through the board like a nerve gas A brilliant mix of SP and AFX at their braindance best with A Clockwork Orange music thrown in for good measure.... genius |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think Venetian Snares is for more under-rated than Squarepusher. My tastes also place Richard Devine among the most interesting artists. |
