Im 25 now, I first heard them in high school when I had my run through of the Warp catalog. Didnt click at first, but then years passed and I had a friend who is collecting modular synths and was talking about AE a lot. I gave them a chance, this was about 4-5 years ago and the Live sets totally blew my mind. Like the fact that they are able to wrap their ideas in Max and replay/interact w them instead of playing mp3s. Im not much into older AEs maybe its that im young, though I love Bine, Flutter, Dropp and some other early tracks. But to me Elseq/NTS and the live sets from 14/15 and 16/18 are the best and most mindblowing and my most listened music ive ever heard. Total headfuck. For more than a year now I listen to one of the onesix sets every day, feels like life support at this point. Alien shit. I decided to pick up Max then and it cured my depression. AE is definitely the best thing that happened to me
