sneaksta303 Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 i was going to post this thread. answer? I like RDJ's penchant for melody, combined with cohesive beats (or none) that emotionally effect me. AE is good and all but I have to be in the mood. RDJ is good at all times it seems like. There is something for every mood. Now i'm sure the die hard AE fans will say the same thing, and so be it, but this is my personal preference. I'm sure RDJ would agree with me.

Guest tht! tne Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 an argument could be made in favor of afx for his sheer variety of styles autechre though progressive have generally followed an even trajectory throughout their releases building upon the innovations of each previous record to reach the heights described in the new record afx has touched upon acid, ambient, drillnbass, electronic music, modern classical, noise, more that i'm forgetting autechre kind of tie all those in together but they just don't seem to vary as widely as afx stylistically afx imprints a clearly discernible personality on most of his records examples would be selected ambient works vol. ii and drukqs, and even i care because you do by personality i mean recurring motifs and themes in his music that bind the collections together autechre are generally admitted to having a cold, austere, or clinical manner in their productions afx tends to broader palettes, frequently eschewing minimalism, entropy, and endemism except to imprint a work with a differentiable signature even such a simple example as the "aphex twin, i care because you do" lyric on "cow cud is a twin" ties together that record in a postmodern self-referentiality rarely glimpsed in autechre's oeuvre afx is possibly more influential than autechre even gescom, a project at least loosely related to autechre, delved into acid in the wake of analord autechre themselves approached drillnbass with "acroyear2" from lp5, a couple years after hangable auto bulb while autechre's innovations may be more notably copycatted--by artists from richard devine to radiohead--afx continues to enjoy a higher commercial success Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
