Amon Tobin and Richard Devine. Though I'm not really into Devine... his music is very impressive.

mmm yes they have that good trick they do to drums, they change the beat to a different style of beat over a few bars of the tune and end up with something totaly different . thats skill!

I think if aphex really felt like it he could kick anyones ass when it comes to technicality.
Tho i would say Squarepusher and Autechre have done some serious audio trickery lately.
Richard Devine sure.
Its hard to say really.

Yea i suppose its a tricky question . I also think aphex is the master masher but he will have to keep on his toes to be the best as there are people catching up to him .
I wish he would realese some of his live stuff on a big album because some of the tunes ive heard live have blown all his other albums out of the water!. Ive seen him 5 times and has never once dissapointed me.

I agree. People are definitely catching up to Mr. James. He should just go ahead and release his 'too weird' material. If it's so ahead of it's time, why hold it back?

hmm in regards to technical ability as a musician...i'd say squarepusher definitely
but when comparing technical ability as far as making sounds... its really hard to say.. you cant really judge 'ability' when it comes to experimentation... everyone's doing something different...often with different equipment and techniques

the obvious choice: richard d. james!
he is, in my opinion, the best at what all these other idiots [sorry] try to make. don't get me wrong, i enjoy a lot of different 'idm' artists, but I think richard will always be the most technically advanced... he's just brilliant

then probably otto von schirach, michael fakesch, richard devine, r. d. james. the people making the software are the real techno wizards.

i bought one last year for like nothing with the allmighty SQ-10 (sequencer)
since then i can't get my hands out of it... you can just do everything that comes in your mind with it (except midi)
it's delightfull and it's complete artistic freedom, just wish it was polyphonic

I love the hardcore filter! It's sooo harsh, and tasty. Have you tried any CV gate midi things to control it or do you edit things after, or leave it as it was recorded?

the cv/midi is a must have, but i'm broke now, so i record and fuck with it in cooledit, not very convenient...
but yeah the filter man!! WHOAAA i got a chorus and a flanger pedal, plus a digital echo (that was a revolution) in an old big samick mixer, i still miss a reverb and a disto and i go to heaven !

hmm in regards to technical ability as a musician...i'd say squarepusher definitely
He's certainly the most capable of making music per se... if you rounded up a bunch of electronic musicians--say, the whole Warp crew--and handed them acoustic instruments and a 4-track he'd mop the floor with them. He's got chops as they say.
Given their choice of weapons though Autechre is hard to beat. Disks like ep7 and Confield have changed the definition of music and how it can be made... they take categories like concrete and abstract and utterly invert them.

Tom is fockin special. I'd love to hear him collaborate with some virtuoso non-electronic musicians like John McLaughlin or Herbie Hancock.
Dunno if you've ever heard Inner Mounting Flame or Birds of Fire by McLaughlin, but I can imagine Tom playing bass in realtime along with them (the bands, not the CDs) and then feeding the mix through his computer.... o sweet madness that would be....
I think the best music in the coming years is going to come from this kind of thing - live music given the electronic treatment. Some of the most exciting music these days is coming from treated guitar recordins, like Fennesz and Zammuto.

Autechre for electronic ability. Squarepusher for melding live instruments into the mix. Boc for warping sounds and sheer fucked-up out-of-tune-in-a-good-way ability.
