Recently started getting into Aphex Twin, really liking it. Can

similar to what? he has lots of different shit

>>71717945
I guess I should have been more specific. My favorite song so far is Alberto Balsalm, if that helps.

If you like Aphex you might like Oneohtrix Point Never. Very different but it's hard to like one and not the other.

>>71717959
Okay, definitely have some stuff of his on my backlog. Anywhere you'd recommend to start?

>>71717955
check out Luke Vibert and his many aliases

Plug - Drum & Bass For Papa
Wagon Christ - Tally Ho!
Luke Vibert - Yoseph

should work for a start

>>71717989
Awesome thank you very much!

>>71717989

Replica -> R+7 -> Garden of Delete. Then check out his older stuff.

>>71717955
Good taste. Alberto Balsalm is his best track.

>>71720230
Thats shampoo

someone remind me how opn with his synthpop and new age background is remotely similar to aphex with his rave and acid background again

>>71720258
It's a bath-themed song

How has no one said Boards of Canada yet?

>>71720266
OPN makes IDM-like music with a great sense of counterpoint and polyrhythm, like Aphex. The strong pulse is just implied and teased instead of drummed.

It's true they don't really sound similar, but they both share a hard-to-describe intuitive sense of rhythm that often makes fans of one enjoy the other. I think it's a bit more apparent when you compare Aphex's ambient stuff.

Also, OPN only really uses new age synths and samples (and even then, that was only for a few years in his long career), not compositions. And synthpop only applies to some of his work.

Check out The Tuss

I think it was a project RDJ did but I'm not sure.
Anything Richard does is gold

>>71717944
how can an album be prolific

do you know what that word means

>>71720266
Both are from different schools of thought and it wasn't until GoD came out that they ever converged musically just because of how GoD utilities a lot of the similar emotional tones AT was trying to capture in the 90s which GoD is so openly admitting.
You can also look at OPN's early ambient work and compare it to SAWII which would be a fair comparison given the use of synths on both.

But they don't really cross in the same was as say Authechre and AT does and Lopatin is less of a playful technical mindset and more of an ideas and concepts guy

>>71720441
It's unlikely. I've never heard of anyone looking for more prolific artists either.

>>71720319
How has no one said Rolando Simmons yet?

Yeah, Rolando Simmons is fucking great.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jwp-i3HQvLc

if you're a huge fan of Richard's work RS/Trackermatte is worth a listen, and if you're not convinced Richard actually played his music at Day For Night so dude is literally Aphex-approved™

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oemlNLt3hCk

no one's said EOD? come on guys

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mhV1OwqnCZQ

Arovane and Phonem are great if you're into that more mellow but still technical sound

>>71721771
His new album on band camp sounds really good. If you like the earlier, more lighthearted sounding Aphex stuff then yeah, EOD is worth exploring.

He and Sd Laika are underrated as fuck.

Also, I liked them both well before I discovered RDJ also likes them. That was some nice taste affirmation.

>>71722009
pilotredsun has some great music but he's a better cartoonist than musician, IMO.

>>71722165
Yeah, forgot to mention SD Laika. He played some of his shit too at DFN

and then also Plaid - Trainer
