Their most well known track: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l9wINwlgxRU

I think most of their stuff sounds pretty silly, usually – like someone's mucking around with knobs in Ableton over a decent drum loop: https://sevish.bandcamp.com/track/tritavium

I thought Aphex Twin's work on Syro was some of the most "listenable" microtonal electronic music around: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eEO56WG0p48

I've been a big fan for a couple years. Initially it was really weird to me. Now it's not! I've gotten more used to microtonality, for one thing, and for another I think he's toned down the really xenharmonic aspects of his music. When his latest album comes up on Spotify the harmonies don't sound particularly strange to me, just a little smoother than what you would get out of 12 Edo.
I take it back. Some of those tracks are pretty freaky.
