With Aphex, you have Syro, which is 80% dope. it came out just last year, preceding a massive dump of unreleased tracks onto soundcloud, and two minor eps.

I like you, friend.

Autechre is a strange bird, some people can't stand their music post-Confield, but i believe albums like Draft, Untilted, Quaristice, and Oversteps are their best material. in this way they're similar to sonic youth, where people's opinions/'favorites' vary widely. try out ep7, or lp5.. or amber. each album is good.

I don't understand the caveats people have with Autechre. They've always been one of my favorite institutions in electronic music, and I believe Exai was one of their finest records. Hearing someone refer to them as "boring" just does not register with me at all.
