he's discarded or given away more great tunes than you've composed.as a bedroom composer how mad does this make you?his last album release he found on a tape under his bed that he wrote when he was 14
>>127721950It makes me mad... mad proud of that lad!
case in point, this track was given away on Soundcloud under a pseudonymhttps://youtu.be/Qf8w8H5nkoA?feature=shared
>>127721950Pretty angry unironically I wish I had autism

>>127721950I've worshiped this guy enough for a few lifetimes, great music but after listening to it thousands of times for decades, at some point it's enough.The new music post-CCAIptII does very little for me.

>>127721950The trouble with releasing something as blindingly magnificently perfect as Windowlicker is 1) Neither you or anyone else can ever top it, that's just obvious, Windowlicker was the Thriller of electronic music or "IDM" or <insert genre term here> so everything you release after it is automatically redundant, measured against it and at BEST the reaction will be "yeah it's ok I guess but it's no windowlicker" 2) You solve your entire genre, not only wiping out your own artistic relevancy overnight but quite literally taking down a whole bunch of tangentially related bands and artists with you - Windowlicker solved IDM, so that was the end of Aphex Twin, the end of Autechre, the end of all the WARP records stuff, and it spilled into wiping out big beat - it was the end of the Prodigy and the Propellerheads and Chemical Brothers and all that shit and it even took trip hop with it too - it was all downhill from there for Massive Attack and Portishead and Tricky, even people like Bjork felt a bit "why even bother?" after Windowlicker3) the impact of Windowlicker was so seismic and so punishingly final that every bedroom creator is still trying to catch up with it 25 years later and nothing has even come CLOSE to that level since and even if anything ever does it will likely slip through the cracks of the fragmented and atomized modern music scene where nothing really feels exciting and innovative anymoreAnd at that point the tune is more like a mythical nonsenical cultural floating juggernaut thing than a song and cracksmoking journalists write flowery blog entries about its genius (much like this post) and it just takes on a life of its own far beyond what its creator could ever have intended or wanted and is equal parts blessing and curse
>>127722690here's Kraftwerks "tour de france"a tune he obviously ripped off for "windowlicker"https://youtu.be/Yt3p-F2x7rY?feature=sharednice Chatgpt text by the way
>>127722690what a load of CRAP
>>127722690The top 50 best Autechre tracks are better than the single best Aphex Twin track. This is not a dig at James, he's a very good artist but the works of Autechre simply transcend music.
>>127722860>autechreAI generated FM frequency tuning slop
>>127722690he topped it several times since with drukqs, analord, the tuss, orphans, etc
>>127722690If he's so good, how come he's dead?
