yeah this is one of the things i was trying to get at before, but probably
botched horribly. in my opinion, kid606's music is more diverse as a whole;
he's done a lot of different things. and as the one guy said, he liked
"soccergirl", but didn't like GQ. so there's something in there that you
like. obviously if all of his stuff was like GQ or all of it was like
"soccergirl", he would sound less diverse, and that's probably why he gets
some popularity. the "problem" with lex, also as stated above, is that it's
hit/miss. if you don't like it, you won't like lex. if you DO like it,
then you'll absolutely love it. whereas one kid606 album might not bloat
your goat, but another one might get your goat (*wink wink* which goes along
with taht whole "release of male energy" schtick *nudge nudge*).
i'm not saying that one is better than the other, but a good way to make
more discussion and publicity for yourself is to a) be prolific, and b) be
diverse. i'm convinced that the reason people like autechre so much is
because all of their albums *do* sound different (very diverse, even within
the individual albums (to a point)), but there is a similarity among them
too (which is the trick, of course ;) ). note that this is not a
comparison of ae to kid606.
