Not intended to evoke a specific theme with all of his music, and operates more on a per song basis, so this comparison is useless
Evan Rodriguez
his theme is drugs

I always felt like Aphex was smack dab in the middle between BoC and Ae when it came to themes. On Come To Daddy, there was a track that sounded a little like BoC:

I'd actually argue that early OPN is more sci fi than Autechre. Not sure what I would relate to Autechre.
I agree with this
Boards of Canada is a picnic on a beautiful summer day next to a polluted lake

I love IZ-US so much

Because it's sci-fi, space future, computers, etc.

aphex twin is all over the place.
Saw 85-92 and icbyd is pretty scifi ish/future.
SAW II and Druqks is lonely in a big place.
As for the others, dunno
Parker Baker
It definitely sounds like computers. I would associate their sound with something like computer programming but not space related sci fi.
When I hear autechre I think of max/msp, not space.

OPN is the opposite of sci-fi, like new age or something.

are you on fucking meth?
a) this is one of their worst songs
b) on one of their worst albums
c) and they suck as a band in general

Autechre makes me think of a server farm deep underground, with every computer algorithmically generating different rhythms.
Evan Foster
this is pretty accurate as well

theyre all different elements of sci-fi:
autechre is primarily concerned with technology and computation; not cold, but just apathetic
BoC is definitely the most human: probably something to do with memories and identity
OPN is like a combination of the now-cheesy scifi elements of the late 20th century and collages of nature similar to the upcoming voyage of time
aphex is kind of a mixed bag of all the above: saw i is tied closely to the beginnings of the www, saw ii is an alternate ost to tarkovsky's stalker, and rdj is like akira but more modern

BoC is Star Wars
Autechre is THX1138
