it dawned on me today that our dear mr. james has a discography spanning over 20 years. that does a few things for me:

*makes me feel old
*impresses me
*makes me glad that much of that work still sounds fresh
*makes me wonder where it'll lead to

the thought interested me because so many of our EM influences have died over the last few years and i don't feel like there are many contemporaries that i personally feel influenced by. what are our musical successors going to be influenced by in 20 years? will it even matter by then?

yes, aphex is pretty much Elvis, though.

yeah man, getting into aphex in the late 90's pretty much shaped the kind of music i listened too for the next few years!!

but right now i'm in work on sunday morning with a monster hangover so thats the end of any more thinking.....

yeah but you gotta give respect to the other people that have been going just as long - nightmares on wax, lfo, autechre?
they all came from the north. less london hype but arguably just as influential.

i thought universal indicator albums had some tracks by afx and some by mike dread? then theres that one that is mike dread mixing all the ui records??

i wasn't really trying to make this an aphex fanboy thread. there are a bunch of other contemporary artists that have been making music for that long. i just thought it was interesting that people are still trying to exactly duplicate the music from the late 80's and early 90's. it's like why i don't like 2 year old shoegaze bands - be influenced, don't be your influence.

jaysan- yeah, maybe they do- i know the yellow one says kozmik kommando on it and when i bought the green one second hand it had kozmik kommando written on the sleeve (by the shop- the original sleeve is a plastic bag)
i thought they were afx at first but how can you tell? theyre both good acidists
