i don't know what influences VS actually has, but to me and the
people i've conversed with, they're regarded as being in the
"distorted electro" camp that could be considered the next
generation of industrial dance, centered around labels like
ant-zen, hymen, spectrew, and hands. i'm guessing these artists
are people who grew up liking nitzer ebb, meat beat manifesto,
and skinny puppy's 'vivisect vi' as much as they do throbbing gristle
and merzbow.

with aphex twin's "come to daddy" and his remixes for NIN and a
few others, james attracted the attention of the industrial/ebm
crowd i mentioned above. he certainly caught my attention. prior
to the chris cunningham video, my impression of AT was a stylised
logo which said "slick soulless cold electronic" and the knowledge
that everyone and his brother was namedropping 'ambient v2'.
james has also dabbled in hardcore-ish, gabba-influenced
insanity, and some people just like their music hard-sounding,
whatever form that may take.
i'd also submit that autechre's beats and glitches have gotten a lot
harder-sounding over the years, the so-called "number-crunching"
and glitchy sounds could very well appeal to the same types of
ears that enjoy the clanking metal of einsturzende neubauten or
bring to mind a hyper-edited version of the electroacoustic
soundscapes of nurse with wound and organum.
