Autechre > BoC > Aphex Twin
autechre by a landslide
they've been constantly changing their sound and getting better as time goes on
aphex twin has stayed pretty consistent over the years which is good i guess but after the 50th acidic track it gets kinda stale
elseq was aoty and cheetah was forgettable in every way
This
cheetah wasn't intended to be anything than a nice couple of tunes, i agree though that aes output at this point is more consistant and impressive. here's to hoping richard will make something that blows your balls off like drukqs did, not just "chilled solid jams"
orbital
OPN. fucking plebes
what does OPN mean? I keep seeing it everywhere and it's driving me crazy
This. Both have grown artistically but Autechre have just pulled more and more ahead over time
I wish people would stop pretending they enjoy autechre
While we're here, can I get some recs for essential electronic albums? I like stuff along the lines of aphex/autechre/boc but I want to go deeper.
Oneohtrix point never
I do though. It's infinitely enjoyable when there are no consistent patterns and then all of a sudden you discover a new medley. Most of autechre's discography is replayable as fuck.
Oneohtrix Point Never cuuuh
if u cant see autechre being leagues ahead of aphex at this point (granted that you have listened to elseq or exai) ur hopeless
autechre have been breaking frontiers in the 2010s. aphex had his place in the 90s but he took a break and making music to him at this point is self indulgent as fuck
which is fine and u can make and put out as much music as u want. saying autechre and him are on the same level now tho is an insult
>own about 50 combined physical releases by these two artists, and that's split about down the middle
oh, don't make me choose~
this makes sense now. Someone describe Arca as the gay OPN
It doesn't really go much deeper than them other than Stockhausen and other original electronic pioneers.
Similar artists though are u-Ziq, Squarepusher, Luke Vibert, Flying Lotus, later Ulver
Wendy (or, Walter) Carlos: Switched on Bach
Kraftwerk: The Man-Machine
Daft Punk: Homework
The Chemical Brothers: Dig Your Own Hole
Orbital: Orbital 2 (or, the 'brown album')
Underworld: Second Toughest in the Infants
Tobacco: Fucked Up Friends
Autechre: Amber
Aphex Twin: Selected Ambient Works 85-92
Deadmau5: Random Album Title (yes, really. many honest anons concede that this one is good. Not "essential" but a recent, decent, popular album)
I've honestly enjoyed Aphex much more consistently over the years, where-as Autechre have some amazing highlights for me in their earlier career but I didn't really like the direction they went in with during the 2000s sound-wise. I'm just not into that sharp, sporadic, experimental sounding shit. I can't stand Untitled, it's one of the most annoying, un-musical sounding albums to me. Strongly prefer their first three and how melodic and pleasant they were.
They've both produced about the same amount of albums I actually like, though, but I'll give it to Richard for being a more reliably enjoyable artist for me, and he was more influential for me personally, too. That said, when Autechre are great they're better than Aphex imo.
I meant Untilted, of course.
i personally prefer aphex. autechre's LP5 and Tri Repetae is just as good as RDJA and ICBYD though
Autech Twin
Aphex Techre
Bola's "Soup". It's essential.
>making music to him at this point is self indulgent as fuck
>what is elseq
Clark - Empty the Bones of You
is very different
Clark- Clark is nice too, more electronic
not mad, but there are recommendations, charts and lists all over the place for this sort of thing, check the sticky.
Anyway, I highly recommend LFO next!
*Gay Autechre
Both, but Squarepusher is even better tbfh
Coil are gay proto-autechre
Is there any Squarepusher that isn't just 'drum n bass with le jazz sample' shit? I fucking can't stand that music, totally takes away the energy from Jungle music
Chaos A.D. - Buzz Caner
Shobaleader One – d'Demonstrator
Cheers, i'll check it out
And his Brother Ceephax makes good music too.

Who's pretending?
I heard you're so fat and ugly nobody would wanna fuck you, is that true?
Rich because he doesn't take himself seriously 24/7 and can pull of a variety of emotions.
I love the Autechre boys but I always feel my head is up my ass when I listen to them.
...
have you ever read/seen an interview with these guys?
it's funny how people think they make this super intellectual music and they're really just some chilled out mancunian ex b-boys lmao
you are of the welcome
