I love them. Most important band for me for about 17 years and still a big influence.
I got into aphex and autechre because of thom yorke and finally to my elektrons and my eurorack…
And all of my guitar equipment is used by one of them
Imo every album since the bends was a masterpiece even the king of limbs. Don’t get why people didn’t like it.
My fav is still kid a. all time favourite.
Yeh its hard to pick a fave album. sometimes I have one but then it changes. like really been into amnesiac for a while. Pablo Honey prob least fave, and as an album never struck on TKOL, though it does have a couple of great tracks. If I had to choose I might go In Rainbows. AMSP is pretty damn good also though
In Rainbows has probably the best flow. And no weak song at all.
Wow! It’s been over 10 years since In Rainbows, eh? Damn times a sneaky beast.
I ain’t seeing any other masterpieces coming from them either. I held out through KOL, MS Pool wasn’t enough to sway my beliefs
It seems to just go by faster and faster ???
you should really spend some more time with the latest two albums. they grow, and grow. as everything they recorded
Right! Like it’s finiteness was a pain enough, now it accelerates! The past two years feel like 1!
Avenches.
In Rainbows/kid A.
The bends when it came out. Good time of my life
Listened to OKC again yesterday. Damn, it’s brilliant. And great to listen after a long break - (I overdid it back in the day…)
There are two colours in my head

Best song, hands down.
Synth line from heaven
Ode to the Prophet 5. Nothing sounds as warm as the first seconds of this song
So simple so frikin genius - according to the interwebs there might be a Rhodes or a Crumar layered in there too and you can definitely hear some stereo tricks/filter panning. But yeah - whenever there’s a debate about “warmth” this could be the reference track
As far as I know it’s only the prophet, but double tracked… maybe hard panned
Don’t forget the neve desk…
great page! I studied their gear for a long time now
I gave it a little try with the A4. Not too close, but I like it
