sad to think of, really
well what do you expect.
more than ever it is about selling yourself now and it's less about making interesting or good music.
bonus points if you actually have your equipment turned on when you wiggle behind the players/"live" equipment

This has always been the most retarded kind of thread, especially for artists that have been very influential. The question is malformed and makes a ton of assumptions that can't be proved in any fashion. In short, kill yourselves you stupid faggots.
>>66257199
slow down there edgemeister, /b/ is that way
>>66257199
Go make classical music masterpieces and see if you become successful.
>>66257098
False because if aphex twin would debut today he'd literally invent electronic music
>>66257309
Oh lawd. Are you memeing on me or seriously this uninformed?
>>66257349
are you daft
seriously
>>66257482
no, just punk.
>>66257098
He would, his tunes are still harmonically, melodically and rhythmically excellent and his production is lovely.
He's had a massive influence on popular music for the past 20 years. Your OP is dumb.
>>66258366
This. His other peers might have more difficulty though.

They're really nothing special
no idea why people cocksuck aphex twin so much
autechre has been making nothing but solid albums over and over
while aphex is still riding on the hype of his old stuff.
probably because all his fans are those twats who listen to hip hop like kanye

rdj can't even touch that
>>66258445
They really are something special. Try doing a proper analyse of any of the complex Syro tracks. Don't base it off your memears.

Æ are great too but quite different. I love their work but it doesn't connect with me emotionally as much as Richie's music does.
>>66258492
This is just ambient? But anyway, I don't get why they're even compared all the time. Richard has always been grounded in music that's more danceable - he's not going after dogged experimentation. Different aims.
Also trashing hip-hop while singing Autechre's praises is pretty funny considering it's pretty much influenced their entire career; from philosophy (bboy/graf culture and the nature of always one-upping your competition), to rhythm, to production methods.
>>66258598
Sadly, this is most likely true :/
>>66257178
dont listen anon, thats only how it is in pop music, but thats how its always been in pop music.
>>66258697
Yep, this.
Rich has stated that he doesn't listen to hip hop (unless Luke Vibert plays it to him) and Æ are massively hip hop fans.
Silly sausage u r.
>>66258757
Yes and no.
Marketing helps with non-mainstream-pop artists too but that shit will sort itself out if the music is really, really gr8.
>>66257098
i dont know if you understand this yet since you´re not a performer or producer but you do not simply receive attention or critical glory it´s behind endless hours spend on perfecting your craft over YEARS.
If he made it before he´d make it now because success is an attitude. Okay?
The question doesn't make any sense because if any artist you mention would show up today, he'd probably do different music than he did in the time he did in our reality.
>>66257309
but electronic music has been around for 40 years anon
>>66258902
hook line and sinker
>>66258953
I think they're baiting too tho mate cause electronic music has been been around for 70 years
>>66259061
153 if you consider player pianos electronic
>>66259061
Longer than that actually ƒam but I thought they were referring to popular music.
>>66257098
but then he wouldn't have influenced anyone and his sound mind be interesting again
>>66258820
>implying any of you heard Coil before 2013
>>66258445
you were not alive in the early 90s and you have no clue what impact his music had on the techno scene of the time.
zzz aphex worship on this board needs to stop https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z2aWEM1nnNg

Ferrari is the don (and should be discussed more), but I have no idea why concrete composers are always brought up as a sorta "gotcha!" with regards to people like Aphex. I'm sure he was influential to Richard, but at the end of the day Rich makes dance music while Ferrari was a classical composer.
If anything this sort of thing says worse about musicians like Arca who mainly rely on "extreme" or strange textures and sound design. At least Aphex can write melodies and complex rhythms.
>>66259788
Yes, this.
This is stupid. Practically anyone from the past would be boring today. Music is a discourse like any other, so its value is partly derived from its context. Hendrix sounded fucking sweet in the sixties, people copied or sounded like him in the seventies. Thus, if Hendrix 2 arrived in the eighties he'd be dull and dated as fuck and nobody should care about him.

I was messin m8. RDJ is legendary atm I feel like drukqs might have been his best. on replay all this year for me
The Stone Roses would be just as loathed as Arctic Monkeys and Portishead would be just as loathed as Lana Del Rey.
>>66257126
nah, his compositions are great
his songs are catchy
and his guitar licks are filled with enumerable intricacies and subtleties.
>>66258902
electronic music has been around for 50+ years you retard
>>66258366
>his tunes are still harmonically, melodically and rhythmically excellent and his production is lovely
[citation needed]
>>66259105
why would you do that though
>>66259269
Coil has been my favorite artist since '07 buddy
>>66261414
Dude electronic music had already started in the 30s
