yup, ive found myself listening to more from mfg, ap seems quite different from mfg to me, dont know, but mfg sounds more alien to me and has allways attracted my attention with those weird sounds and techniques, id say they are great example of goa trance, technique wise, common goa weirdness elements implemented into all tracks without getting cheesy
wouldnt say that ap is boring, they have imo lots of good tracks too, especially old ones like free tibet and other from astral files [free tibet, maian dream, utopia] and dancing galaxy. perhaps there were too many of ap tracks, thus why people tend to find them boring? while mfg have pretty compact and diverse discography imo.
btw, ive allways found mfg's sound more appealing to me, bit more distinctive and harder while mfg was kind of softer and perhaps thats why never really gave ap a chance/attention
