So sick to see Ween on there. I swear every respected musician on the planet has something nice to say about those guys. Even Aphex, who notoriously isn't a fan of rock/guitar music, is supposedly a big fan.
I heard Ween before I heard Aphex and I always thought he was an electronic version of Ween.
Milk Man, Funny Little Man, Come To Daddy (Little Lord Faulteroy Mix) and Windowlicker all make me think of Ween's humor
You've got a point! I think they both have the ability to successfully blend pop sensibilities with complete fucking weirdness and pisstaking.
They've got an equal amount of irreverence and a good will for fans, dumping lots of unheard music without any concern if the record label wanted them to.
I think Richard probably loves the dank era of God Ween Satan up to Pure Guava most of all. It was pure sound exploration with a truly irreverent sense of humor, some of which would be totally frowned upon in this day and age. Much like Aphex's 90s career.
And if you want proof that Mike and Marcus aren't mystical sages and actually have a sense of humor about music, look no further than this exchange:
Marcus: I never thought about it but Ween are brothers as well, aren't they?
Mike: No, they are not.
Marcus: I thought they were. Are they not?
Mike: No, they just pretend that they are. [Laughs]
Marcus: That's fantastic! [Laughs]
Mike: See, some people go out of their way to do things like that, while we are trying to avoid it."
I would even venture a guess that the "On the hill starts a bright new day" song on Societas is something related to Ween. It sounds like an early paean to Boognish haha
