Well, of course they don't sound exactly the same. But for someone who is looking for that same vein of fast breakbeat type jungle, they're pretty close to each other. I think the venetian snares odd time signatures are one of the most interesting and cool aspects of his tracks. Half the time, it doesn't even register on a conscious level that he's writing in an odd time signature. For example, vokesheads on ultra higgins is like 7/8 but the whole track flows perfectly. And it's very hard to make a track in a weird time signature like that and STILL have it groove so you can bob your head to it. I'm sure anyone on this list could point out all of the nuances in the sound between aphex twin vs autechre vs squarepusher, but for someone who is just getting familar with the genre(s), I think venetian snares fits the bill quite well for what he is looking for.
