This is a pretty good position for Dubya style consensus building, but as
a critical stance it sucks balls. "Taste" is an expressed dis/like with
no articulated reasoning behind it. Since nobody bothers to dig around
its roots, there's no ground for meaningful discussion.
Even though I don't necessarily agree with Andrei's statement that Aphex
and Autechre are the only AI-type IDMers that matter, I at least
appreciate the sentiment. Even if you don't like all of their newer
stuff, at least it's not a superficial imitation of someone else (I'm
still trying to figure out why anybody bothers with Vladislav Delay and
Aphelion). They're enriching a personal style from a diverse set of
influences and you can hear & appreciate it in their output.
