acid legacy is nuts

 

his web site is awesome

 

let's starta ceephax subforum movement

I second that. If a Luke Vibert subfourm, why not Ceephax??!!

I have to say that "Steve" off of Volume One (and the rest of the album, for that matter) gives me more joy and enjoyment than anything Tom has put out this century. It's been a treat watching Ceephax expand his repertoire over the past few years without straying too far from a certain core ethic.

It would be fair to say that Squarepusher is generally more broad than Ceephax, but in terms of depth they both provide a lot to draw on. For sheer charm, though, Ceephax takes the cake hands down. He's just such a lovable scamp.

And I'll take Ceephax's sweaters over Tom's loud-ass shirts any day of the week.

Squarepusher is more interesting than ceephax 4 me but u must know that ceephax don't make the same music as his brother squarepusher...

ceephax ----> acid house, acid electronic music, etc. all is acid in his music

squarepusher -----> all styles (jazz, breakcore, d'n'b (jungle), drill'n'bass, electronic music, etc. also acid house (under the moniker Chaos A.D.)

so i can't say if ceephax is nearly good as squarepusher, they r different & sure ceephax is younger than squarepusher, but why not 4 this question : Is Squarepusher nearly as bad as Ceephax?

His last album was acid, but thats been the first in a couple of years. Hardcore Esplanade, Hardcore Wick, Exidy Tours, Volume 1 and Megalift - all not acid. Volume 2 - acid. You should try listening to some, its mostly good.

Your idea of acid and mine are way off then.

i thought it was a good analogy

me too, it made me chuckle a bit (on the inside)

squarepusher ftw, no contest

Sweet. this has all been alot of help.

I love ceephax its a lot of fun, but I don't think he's ever recorded a serious album so I don't think its a comparison. More range needed. Still tunes like moor and northern spirit on exidy tours show what he could do..

what the hell is a serious album?

Ummm no

Ceephax is no where near as good as Squarepusher IMO. He's not even close.

Altough Ceephax's music is quite complex and fun to listen, he is more of a

evolutionary degradation in electronic music than RDJ or Squarepusher, who both have,

RDJ especially, actually MADE the predispositions for ideas of that guy Ceephax

naturally to flourish. IMO, their contribution is just incomparable.

IMHO the Ceephax Acid volumes 1 and 2 from Rephlex were a bit shit. I liked the last track on vol. 2 - Ravenscar cuz it was more ambient. Also, I know where the place is on the East coast, the music goes well with it.

Ceephax live is about the most fun you can have listening to music and in the last year hes become very good technologically to go with the ideas.

Aye. Ceephax wins for me.

i was gonna reply with this

re: thread topic

depends on your attention span. Mine is short. I don't like four to the floor. I prefer druqs era drill n bass afx. I like cut up breaks. I don't like much of the ceephax I have heard. It's more acid techno IMO.

He has some f'ed up drilly trax, but not many and they just ain't as interesting as his older bro or afx's ones. IMO.

If you like viberts acid release u will like ceephax probably. IMO.

also if you like dancing or drugs ceephax is proabbly awesome. I bet he's awesome live!

This isn't a good argument because without jungle Squarepusher wouldn't have the same foundations for him to flourish.

yeah, ceephax is very talented imo.. especially hearing his early stuff.. he's just more chill about it

ceephax is pretty consistently good. I don't see a real point in comparing the two since they're both hella dope.

I remember the day that ceephax surpassed his bro

This thread is a decade old.  Ceephax is amazing though.  

Squarepusher is yer wise dad, Ceephax is yer fun uncle
