Best 90s electronic music duo

I'd agree with that. I enjoy the analord stuff way more than his 90s stuff, which hasn't really aged that well for me.

iow drill n' bass was a bad idea

even though he did it 1000x better than anyone else excepting squarepusher, maybe

aphex twin could've stopped after doing both volumes of the selected ambient works and it would be enough to place him over autechre

Best 90 electronic music duo: THE FINAL BATTLE

re analords, I mean:

the bit around 2:40 is one of my favorite AFX moments

Flim and the Richard D. James Album are still all-time for me.

Flim, yes, but RDJ really hasn't held up for me lately

We played I at record club a few months ago and I loved it, though the two of us who knew it well agreed that it sounded far less radical than we remembered.

I don't give a monkey's if a record sounds radical, I care if it sounds beautiful, or moving, or if it makes my ears sit up and go boy howdy. All of which RDJ does.

wow @ results, really thought one of the bigger names would take it. also the crystal method got a vote, arf.

haha who voted for The Crystal Method

I guess we won't know

I don't give a monkey's if a record sounds radical, I care if it sounds beautiful, or moving, or if it makes my ears sit up and go boy howdy. All of which AE does.

i didn't vote but if i did it would've been chems

lol results

I pull out Tri Repeatae every year or so and get really, really bored by about track 4. Though "Eutow" is still incredible. I wonder what I'm missing.

Alright, I decided to crank it in my car and I think I figured it out; where do you go from here?

onwards and upwards

envane is a nice lead-in to chiastic slide, if a bit more dancefloor friendly (kinda) than that or tri repetae; if chiastic is too weirdly crunchy then skip on to lp5.

chems really snubbed

Right on - will do. I have their first two as well and generally enjoyed them but now I'm starting to realize why they're spoken of so highly here. The music on TR really feels monolithic at points, especially on headphones, but given more space it's incredible just how much there really is to *hear* on it. My problem is that I'd focus more on the abrasion of it, especially up front (still don't like "Stud", by the way). Besides maybe Aphex Twin I haven't really heard anything like this so yes I'll be on my way to checking those out!

guys guys

i forgot funkstorung

Funkstörung was a German Autechre whose work was at least half remixes of Wu Tang, Bjork, etc...right?

yeah, I think they had like two singles/videos that had some minor hype and some interesting packaging design but all their best work was remixy stuff

Nah I rate their (all original) appetite for disctruction album, autechre esque but with a stronger electro vibe, real rapping n everything.
