Bleep boop bleepy boop boop beep. The machines have taken over. Two electronic juggernauts, in particular, are fighting for total supremacy over the human race: Aphex Twin and The Postal Service. One plays an unwinnable game of chess with a sickening grin on its computer screen. The other simply wants love, with its battery depleted and circuits ripped out. Only one can win. Who will stand tall and who will suffer at the hands of Ctrl+Alt+Del? In this episode, Josh and Connor are giving albums a second chance. Aphex's 'The Richard D. James Album' gets re-evaluated by Josh after many months of trying and failing to understand the hype behind the IDM legend. And after only a single listen way back when, Connor revisits The Postal Service's seminal 'Give Up'. You may not like what Josh has to say about Aphex, but will you agree with Connor when he says The Postal Service is emo? They are very interested to see if you do. Tune in to find out what they had to say about these records on the latest episode of Rate or Hate, brought to you by the Talking Music! Podcast.
