When all is said and done, is he the greatest electronic musician?

*blocks your path*
Even Aphex Twin has admitted that Bernard Parmegiani is the greatest electronic musician

Stop

Nah he just laid out the framework for what a lot of electronic pop music would sound like. A lot of people have already surpassed him.

Like who?
>>73712378
Some of those ex rephlex guys out of Hungary do the newer aphex sound better.
>>73711841
Fuck no. Selected Ambient Works 85-92 is such a chore to listen to. All the black influences of dub and funk that make techno great are absent in RDJ's grooveless aryan easy listening muzak. And things just got worse and worse after his debut album.

pleb, stockhausen is responsible for everything this guy did

Karlheinz Stockhausen is the answer because he made electronic music (elektroniche musik originally) into a legitimate form and not some stupid gimmick like Schaeffer was doing.

Is there a link? Or is it so underground only they and you have ever heard of it?

No offense dude, but do you even listen to Aphex Twin?
This guy's stuff is so flat and barebones. I can hear the influences, but it's nowhere close to RDJ.

Lol fool, RDJ has more swang and groove than a good deal of the foundational 'black' Detroit techno artists. Juan Atkins can be funky, but he started his career trying real hard to NOT be/sound black and sound as Euro/Kraftwerk as possible. Gerald Donald from Drexciya clearly has an Aryan/fascist fetish too.
>>73713903
Do you accept a lineage of Stockhausen, Moog, Carlos, Aphex?
>>73714010
i mean it's good but not on the same level as something like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uYEhczrEnwc
plus the fact that all of the artists are directly ripping off aphex's sound makes it hard to say they're better than him
and the fact that aphex's discography is so much more diverse than just this sound
