A few months ago I'd have said he's the most popular artist on here
What who?
>>65467256
goat. I even like Syro. I don't get all the hate
>>65467369
Syro is his best record, his most cohesive and well-thought-out. Compositions are brilliant, have a lot of motion and progress interestingly.
Favorite soundcloud track?

Syro is like a solid 8/10, however i think it kinda wanders off towards the end, if you get what im saying
>>65467256
Who are they?
>>65467285
he's definitely not as popular as he used to be. it's weird.
he used to be the greatest electronic artist of all time
>>65468183
Who is it now then?
>>65468207
Arca
>>65468706
>listening to gay Autechre
>>65468750
>not listening to gay Autechre
What's wrong with you?
I never really liked them and now I don't have the time or inclination to
unless I share a bill with them ever then I'd chill and enjoy the show
>>65468750
>autechre
>"straight"
also stale meme
>>65468774
new album when
>>65468888
He said it would be this year but I bet money the little shits just fucking around
Lichen
SAW was a very important record
SAW 2 holds up
RDJ album is overrated
Drukqs is really great
Syro is underrated
he is a very good artist but certainly not the best electronic artist. he isnt the most pop-y idm artist either like everyone believes, that would be squarepusher desu
>>65470179
Then why is he easily the most popular/well-known?
Not counting brostep shit of course
>>65468183
Don't over sell him anon. He's good. Classic even. But greatest? Lets be real. It's just acid innit.
>>65470209
SAW was probably quite the bomb at the time and might have left an impression. plus historically it has always been an essential in electronic music. SAW has almost 10k ratings in RYM while the 2nd most well known release by him (RDJ Album) has about 7k, and it is arguably another classic.
aphex twins popularily among the masses probably is mostly due to those two albums, the rest of his stuff alienates a significant part of the fanbase i would imagine. the work that cemented him as the most well known idm artist is quite old, so i wouldnt say that his work after those years is particularly pop-y (even tho Syro won a grammy or some shit)
>>65470485
Then who is? Because I honestly can't think of someone who deserves to be put on the same pedestal
>>65467700
28 organ
Heliosphan live
>>65470530
>I honestly can't think of someone who deserves to be put on the...pedestal
Sums up my feelings on the matter.
>>65470530
not him, but Eno and Autechre spring to mind
>>65470530
moebius
eno
schitnitzler
tietchens
parmegiani
kayn
sakamoto
atkins
umiliani
bayle
tudor
stockhausen
just a few
>>65467256
He's my personal savior, and without him my life would have no meaning.
>>65467256
bretty good
Fucking genius.
>>65468817
>Them
You clearly know way too little about the artist to form a credible and thought out opinion about him
A musical mastermind. Windowlicker and SAW 1 are genius. Hangable Auto Bulb and Come to Daddy are also quality albums.
