Aphex is both. His first record came out in 1991 I think, and still sounds incredible, far better than anything the London acid scene has ever produced. His stuff in the late 90s and since has been patchy to say the least, but his seeds were already sown, we hear his influence in a huge segment of all electronic/techno music in one way or another, and that's why he has that status.
