Never heard of them before, but based on ^ those I'm liking their work plenty.

Likey. Actually Scottish iirc. On Warp, same label as Autechre. "Nothing is Real" is a top tune.

Bloody love them. Watched great documentary past night about them, genuinely impressive how much thought they’ve put into every aspect of their work.

Yep, can clearly hear that.

Was amazed how many easter eggs and layered nuanced stuff is behind their work.

I have a couple of their albums. I think I admire, rather than like them.

My son loves roygbiv.

Loved the first two albums. Great soundtrack as a train passenger and seeing the world go by. Not too keen on the third album.

I recently learned that the vocal sample in Roygbiv is a kid saying "Lake", rather than "Elaine", as it has been in my head for about 20 years hehe

Scrolled down to say this. Been listening to Tycho for years, man is a genius. He also does good DJ sets which are all on soundcloud. I didn't much like the effort from a couple of years ago with the female singer but they do an instrumental version too!
