>>130502994Personally, I just can't respect anybody who thinks Boards of Canda or Aphex Twin are somehow the pinnacle of Ambient/Drone albums. Literally they are baby's first step into the genre. Do you even explore the genre, have you even heard of Bandcamp?Richard D. James has built a career on the illusion of complexity. The Aphex Twin formula relies heavily on bombarding the listener with frantic, algorithmic breakbeats and drill-n-bass scatter shots. But complexity is not a substitute for creativity. His ambient works, widely praised as groundbreaking, are just fucking rehases that rely heavily on the foundations already laid decades earlier by Brian Eno, Stockhausen, and Kraftwerk (also rather boring if you aren't some drugged out 1980's East German). James simply updated the hardware, taking credit for a sonic landscape that was already fully mapped.Aphex Twin hides behind chaos, while Boards of Canada hides behind a pretentious blurry, sepia-toned filter. Their entire discography leans on a single, exhausted aesthetic: the "hauntology" of degraded analog tape and forgotten educational films, which, arguably, many artists do better. Their annoying, and often noted reliance on childhood nostalgia is a cheap, retarded emotional shortcut. Instead of actually fucking writing progressions that evoke genuine emotion, they slap a VHS-warble effect onto a basic synth pad and expect the listener's own misplaced nostalgia to do the heavy lifting. Not only that, but they are often credited with pioneering a nostalgic electronic sound, but their approach is entirely humorless and self-serious. Vaporwave took that exact same concept—recontextualizing the discarded audio of the past—and executed it with infinitely more conceptual brilliance (again, not a high bar), irony, and engaging sample manipulation. Boards of Canada just sounds like a dusty cassette tape left in the sun too long. At least William Basinki can make something more emotionally gripping.

>>130509855>have you even heard of BandcampWhat a condescending thing to ask. I disagree with most of your sentiments, and agree with some (namely Aphex Twin and his supposed pioneer status). However, ultimately you can reduce everything in the world down, particularly every form of art, to its constituent parts using enough derision and and write any merit it has using a summary such as you have just done. It does not mean that in its totality it can't be beautiful, evocative, or emotionally resonant, and certainly not just because the formula is simple, or it is not groundbreaking. There are plenty of DS or Dark Ambient albums that do the exact same thing ad nauseam, just simple synth textures played slowly with tape effects, most of it is utter dross, bu if it gives me an emotional response, puts me in a trance, gives me goosebumps, then I like it. BoC above most on the list does all of those things very effectively. Also recs? Other than Basinki who does nothing for me.
