his best album

Really not much left to say until something new comes out. All of his work is brilliant though.

drukqs is his overall best and best executed album

peace out

I always feel like punching the guy who feels he needs to name drop Aphex Twin.

Great album, but is any of this stuff 'ambient'?

1992=electronic music started

"ambient" doesn't mean ambient. it means downtempo with good sound design. welcome to genres

Only album I can workout out to desu

Now imagining someone running and their foot only hits the ground at the snares of 4

I'm glad there's less Aphex discussion, Sup Forums needs to talk about DIFFERENT artists instead of the same like 50. At least get a little deeper into electronic music instead of the very very most popular .0001% of artists.

He's doing something super strange with celestial cycles and operant conditioning--maybe that's been his secret all along--but you can just feel that it's time to take a break from him for a little bit. I suspect he has something really special in the works and will release it without much hype in a couple months to years. Also, a lot of his original fans are dad aged, which is okay because he seems to have filled his niche financially, but it will probably mean he's not as relevant to a younger audience, who have more time to talk about music. He's up to something, though, I'm not sure what it is exactly but I think it might be something as different and inspiring as his best work.

New music sourced from driving his tank over spoons

Are you saying he's using subtle mind control techniques to make his music good?

>implying Aphex Twin isn't surface level

I didn't even imply, I directly stated the exact opposite.

Didn't see the word less, my bad

its ok user :)

Then what's downtempo music?

aphex twin is fking overrated. nothing to discuss
what autechre does is more interesting but Sup Forums is legit too dumb to even bother trying to discuss in fear of being exposed for not knowing shit about music. so we get the same ol aphex twin and board of canada threads.
not forgetting how the only "'"""experimental""" electronic music being made according to this board is fucking opn and lmao arca

Autechre is the same thing as Aphex Twin, both having slightly complex beats, except Autechre ads a fuck ton of effects.

what's wrong with opn

i dont think he's implying there's anything wrong with opn or arca, just that theyre pretty much all Sup Forums pays attention to out of ALL the artists currently making electronic music

ae and afx are not even remotely similar, and ae does not achieve their sound by applying """effects"""

Well then why don't you start an Autechre jerk off thread instead of getting mad and entering a thread you don't like?

MaxMSP aleatory music =/= "effects"

drukqs is fucking nuts. those drum and bass tracks are just.... man

nice attempt at rusin for a bruisin

u know whats good

It's obviously not just effects but it's definitely a big part of it.

if you knew anything about max/msp or Ae's production process you would know that "effects" have absolutely nothing to do with it. Their music has been quite literally devoid of "effects" since Confield, if not earlier.

There's nothing much to discuss really.
Also Syro is a 10

When your only goal is to make each bar different for the sake of it, it's not really enjoyable
