at what point do we stop granting domain over an entire approach to
electronic music to a single artist? at what point do we concede that the
combination of interesting rhythms and interesting melodies has become the
goal of a whole group of likeminded artists whose various slants on same
can't be whittled down to a single influence? i'm all for calling a spade a
spade, but the endless comparing of things to autechre or aphex twin or
whatever other first-wave idm artist has passed the point of usefulness.
these comments about while and arovane are a case in point. neither can
reasonably be compared to autechre beyond the blueprint description
provided above, yet these comparisons continue to be made. this is either
ignorance or laziness.
can we find a new crutch, please?
