As I say I do think he's top 100 for sure. There's not much top rate stuff but the top rate stuff is top rate.

I used to love jungle. I still think it's the ultimate genre, really, because the people making it weren't musicians. The best artists are people who don't consider themselves artists, and the people who do are usually the most pretentious and annoying. [laughs] They've got their priorities wrong. They're just doing it to be artists rather than because they want to do it. And a lot of jungle people were actually car mechanics and painter-and-decorator types, like, pretty hardcore blokes. I wouldn't want to get into a fight with them. I know a few people who were like that, and I don't think that really exists any more. Maybe those sort of non-musician types do some dubstep stuff, or grime. But it didn't exist in jungle for long. There was only a couple of years where people didn't know what they were doing, and you got all these samples that are just totally not related in pitch. I really hunt down those records. They've got this ridiculous mishmash of things that totally don't go with each other at all. Obviously, after they've done it for a couple of years they learn how to make chords and stuff, and it's not so interesting now.

winced at 'pretty hardcore blokes' , a bit romanticised and patronising... but interesting

Also glad I didn't pretend it was shit just cos it was aphex. A man of honour and discernment.

analord series doens't get anywhere near the attention it should, probably due to the moniker and weird lux vinyl distribution

Love how daddek who has been here 15 years and made 200 posts was so morally outraged and appalled that he had to break his vow of silence and bear witness to truth.

theres nothing really in his catalog to suggest this. idk whats behind the assumption that artists who make avant stuff can easily make amazing ultra focused genre pieces, if they simply chose to. its something you hear a lot,
its probably just the opposite tho. Aphex is good at what he does/did probably because he can't do straight line music anywhere near well
