Connell Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 afx ftw but sven vath was responsible for hawtin and the sound of the third season, which is pretty much one of the best moments in techno. ever, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bickster Posted May 20, 2008 Moderator Share Posted May 20, 2008 Why are these even being compared in a poll? One is the genius of Richard D James the other is some dodgy German Trance DJ. These two aren't even in the same ball park. Aphex Twin wins this handsdown for windowlicker alone and then some more for a load of other stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nrogers Posted May 20, 2008 Author Share Posted May 20, 2008 Bicks, I think you are being over simplistic, Vath is a fantastic Artist and in the same mold, it's a really close call for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Designer1 Posted May 20, 2008 VT Supporter Share Posted May 20, 2008 Aphex Twin by a planet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alf_stewart Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 I think there are comparisons to be drawn from earlier Aphex excursions (circa Selected Ambient Works 85-92); but in terms of longevity and eclecticism Sven Väth isn't fit to shine Mr James' shoes.

Santa_Rosa Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Can't stand either, but even I can see Aphex Twin are in a different league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 love aphex twin, but haven't heard of the other band, so not entirely a fair call really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilS Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 I saw Aphex Twin at some festival once, his decks/equip were set up in some kind of Wendy House. Very strange indeed. Can't say that I was overly impressed with Sven Vath but it's all a bit hazy since the days of going up to Birmingham to Atomic Jam and various other nights.
