Imo "ON " was his best release ever! That's the record which triggered
my attention towards idm, avant-garde, electronix, braindance whatever.....
I still think that often an artists' 1st period is the most interesting
period
I enjoy Aphex's, AE's, Squarepushers', Plaids' first records more than
what they try to create now.
Often it seems to me that nowadays they are trying/looking
harder for weirdness instead of feeling/emotion.
For instance, i really tried to enjoy Gantz Graf...listened to it
quit often.... but i can't dig the stuff
It's a bit too much: " See-how-we-know-our-way-in-software-music"
To me, music is more than a clever and inventive
way of arranging/triggering drumsounds
I really don't care whether AFX's piano is modificated... i enjoy a "live"
piano
just as much.. maybe more!?
I find it harder and harder to find records which i want to buy...
only label i buy from with my eyes closed is TOYTRONIC .... but for how
long?
I don't mean to say releases from nowadays Suck... not at all... but records
like
SAW 85-92, Not for Threes, Music has the right to children, Anti ep, Anvil
Vapre....
Not sure whether i will new records as much as those...
hey... maybe we're spoiled!
