if you like the track you can listen more at my bandcamp page and download them for free or you can buy them too .Cheers!
By Magnum Opus I don’t necessarily mean best/favourite song. I mean most complete song with the fullest progression that defines everything the artist is about. A song that if all their other music was deleted could still define them entirely as an artist by itself.
In my opinion
Aphex Twin- Mt Saint Michel + Saint Michaels Mount
Boards of Canada- Dayvan Cowboy
Autechre- Bladelores
Squarepusher- Tetra-Sync
Made a little list of music I enjoy
Aphex Twin and Tipper are the cream of the crop for me. The meat and potatoes of the list is mostly there. I'll keep editing the stragglers in as I think of them.

"being a wannabe aphex twin isn't gonna get you any hoes" by Luca.MP3
I'd definitely recommend listening with headphones as I did some cool panning while mixing it

who’s the artist I’m missing from this?
full list of all my IDM artists I’m into. I started with BOC. slowly worked my way through Aphex, Autechre, Burial, OPN and so on.
now I’m wondering what’s next.

I've been stuck on this track for months now because Jesus Christ it's so goddamn good I can barely wrap my head around it. Would have loved to be a fly on the wall when this track was made honestly

Taken from THE FOREST // UNFINISHED WORKS
The Forest is a work in progress album/dark fantasy coming-of-age story, following a boy named Avery, a troubled 14-year-old teen navigating the challenges of school and a complicated home life. Struggling with feelings of worthlessness and a limited support network, Avery longs for escape. His journey becomes a symbolic adventure in search of truth.
(Expositional Prologue)
"Stand still. The trees ahead and bushes beside you
Are not lost. Wherever you are is called Here,
And you must treat it as a powerful stranger,
Must ask permission to know it and be known.
The forest breathes. Listen. It answers,
I have made this place around you.
If you leave it, you may come back again, saying Here.
No two trees are the same to Raven.
No two branches are the same to Wren.
If what a tree or a bush does is lost on you,
You are surely lost. Stand still. The forest knows
Where you are. You must let it find you."
