Why aren't there any "Aphex clones"? Don't tell me that there aren't more
people out there who respect Aphex Twin a whole lot more than Autechre
(maybe in the narrow mindset of this list, we may not think it is true, but
in general I think it is very true). Maybe because what Aphex is doing is
impossible to even hint at, much less copy. Same deal with Boards of
Canada--I don't think their will be any "BoC clones". Why? Because
Autechre is a lot easier to copy simply because they focus on the technical
rather than emotional side of their music--or at least this is what people
who think there are "Autechre Clones" seem to notice.
