theres something about that site that sucks so bad. I think either have an aphex site or an "IDM" site, not one dedicated to four "bands". thats totally out of whack. i mean, its like he couldnt decide or something, so he placed a four-way bet. doesnt he think afx deserves his own web site? he should have called it www.4popularIDMartists.com. and his composite picture of the four of them together just cracks me up, i mean, they all hate each other for chrysts sake. the only love there is from richard to tom, ha ha! piss poor |

i dunno, i thnk it'll be ok! |
||||||||

|
|
never heard of ´project x'? it will surely pisses you off. |
||||||||
|
|

|
i have to admit the idea of 4 main artists dosent do a lot for me, but im sure it will turn into a decent resource when it gets going. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
whats project x? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Well Reechard was mean to Joyrex, so Joyrex got angry.....BLA ! Why, does Reechard not like BoC ? Please explain ?! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
dont know, just read in interviews: BoC hate Ae, Ae hate BoC Reechard and Tom hate BoC BoC love Rich, hate Tom |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that's your reason why there shouldnt be a site covering all those artists??? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"that's your reason why there shouldnt be a site covering all those artists???" no reason, but why choose 4 artists? why not just an "IDM" resource? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
project x is sortof the same, you know. bump. those are the most popular artists is why, i think. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"those are the most popular artists is why, i think. not as popular as chemical brothers though. aphex is more popular than the other three artists put together. popularity cant be the only deciding factor??? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
chemical bros aren't idm, are they? anyway, maybe you should check the faq about it on the joyrex messageboards, maybe there's something about it in there... |
||||||||
|
|

|

"Globalgoon": GET YOUT FACTS STRAIGHT!!!or else SHUT THE FUCK UP! BoC friends with Ae (AE introduced them so they could get a records deal), Ae likes BoC Reechard is mad now that he had the chance to sign BoC to Rephlex back in the days. BoC love Rich yeah thats right. All this is info from interivews. N***A PLEASE. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
facts? i just know what ive read in interviews. and stop telling me to fuck off you moronic brute |
||||||||
|
|

shit this is like a primary school playground spat |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

joyrex do whatever he wants to do. nothing wrong with that. the same goes for me as well. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
watmm.com and 'project x' will probably be like rainbow ice cream! You get all your favourite flavours in one! :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
dont get me wrong, im into the idea of a general site, it was just joyrexs 4 top artists that i found curious. -- Anyone remember Tortoise? they were the BoC of the mid 90's, never heard from them since |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
'project x' has no limits when it comes to artists. interesting artists will be added as time goes by. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Will it have a blend of signed and unsigned artists? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
cool phob i find the title of joyrexs new site a bit pretentious "we are the music makers" as those 4 artists are the only ones that count |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
those = though, id need to use preview btn |
||||||||
|

it always amazes me how people critic or take something out of context just for the sake of getting some attention. a lot of webmasters take their time and money to provide a place where others can come to get info, listen to tracks, or just talk to others who share similar tastes. besides is it really fair to critcize at this point? It might be possible that the creator of watmm has other plans for the future of his site. he may expand into other artists eventually. I think the artists he chose for his beginning focus were picked well. |

stop telling me to fuck off you moronic brute hahahaha!! |

"is it really fair to critcize at this point? " ill keep my mouth shut from now on |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
how can the site totally suck when it doesnt even exist yet with any content??? or am i missing something? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ubil, learn to digest information as you read, not jump to conclusions. the site exists . i was remarking on the high levels of pretension in the concept of the site. ie "we are the music makers" implies that the 4 artists listed are the be all and end all of electronic music, nay all music. pretentious, moi? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
.... they ARE the music makers not THE music makers but the music makers there are many more makers of the music |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, I considered myself a music maker after the amazing harmonies of my beer farts this morning |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
g goon, ubik is confused because it sounds as if you are saying that watmm is fully up and running which it is not to my knowledge. the part of it that is up and running is the brance that has tracks made by the members which will be voted on in about a month. so that is why I was saying at this point it may unfair to criticize. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
im not gonna visit watmm.com, im gonna stay away and come visit projectX.com instead |
||||||||

"you must do what you feel is right of course"-(something like that anyway)obi-wan |
||||||||

|
|
there aint enough room in this town for projectX and watmm, its gotta be projX ALL THE WAY. anyway joyrex only decided to do this after falling out of love with aphex |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes but we know its about those 4 artists, thats the bit im criticising. those 4 are the most popular IDM artists, but there are dozens of other important artists who appear to be excluded from his site, and thats very sad for them |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I agree with you that there are many more artists out there. in fact I haven't listened to s pusher or mu-ziq in quite a while. aside from ae I listen to mostly other artists who aren't as popular. anyway I don't think that joyrex will just stick to those artists mentioned. like phobia0 he listens to his members and if in the future if they want more then he may do more. however, his "falling out of love" with afx is none of our business though. |
||||||||

i think this site would be good... well the idea anyway it would be cool to have a site about MANY peoples favourite four artists, wouldn't it?!?! and besides.. "we are the music makers" <--- what a cool name! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
btw: whats the ETA on this site? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

I kind of agree with Global Goon, I think the selection of 4 artists is rather arbitrary. If it does have to be 4 artists who "encompass the different aspects of electronica" I would not include RDJ. If it were up to me, I would select 4 artists Not Including RDJ, and leave this site up. Like: Tom Jenkinson Autechre Mike Paradinas BoC I feel that way especially because this site is soo good it could hardly be improved by being one fourth of a new site. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i agree with global on this one too - "we are the music makers" is a ponsy name - wouldn't it have to be called "they are the music makers" anyway, to avoid confusing poor innocents who think it is some official site? ;) |

there was a movie called project x, it was about monkeys and stuff. |
||||||||
|

there was a movie called malcolm x, it was about...just kiddin' - congrats to mr D Washington for earning his oscar |

globalgoon, on the topic of tortoise- their newest album "standards" uses protools and some very electronic sounds, it's very excellent.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
mouse on fucking mars... no one mentions them. okay, just to get "the facts" straight. joyrex said he will expand to other artists as time passes. getting all the content for four artists is a big ass undertaking... let a lone more, so give it some time. and beside signed artists, i think he has a plan to incorporate unsigned artists that visit the site as well. "can't judge a book by it's cover" -- yeah i know it's cliche but i dont give a flying fuck. tortoise are great btw. their more "post rock" anyway. haven't heard "standards" yet, got to go 'ear it. |

OK, normally I am not a rude cunt, but since I am in a particularly bad mood tonight, here goes: You seem to think you've got my new site pegged real well, when in fact you're just a presemptous cunt who is ASSUMING he/she/it knows what the site is about. So, to set your crooked arse straight, here's a synopsis of what watmm.com is and is not: it features the four most popular electronic artists of our time. Why? Because they are the most popular, and I think they deserve more in-depth coverage (especially BoC and Squarepusher) than what they've gotten so far. watmm.com's tagline is 'your electronic music resource'. It aphextwinboardsofcanadasquarepusherautechreandnobodyelsebec doesn't say 'your ausetheyarenotgoodenough resource' does it? That's because watmm.com's goal is to highlight the popular artists of our time, while also covering other artists and general electronic music news. The title means what it says - we are the music makers - it's not only referring to the four spotlight artists, but also to other electronic music artists, as well as the 'amateur' artists who visit the site. As someone else pointed out, the fucking site isn't even up yet, so who are you to judge it? I could add more artists to have their own micro-site(s) inside watmm.com in addition to the AFX, BOC, SQPSHR and AE sections. Your 'so-and-so hates so-and-so fantasies have nothing to do with what watmm.com is all about. Another reason I chose these four artists is their musical diversity - AFX, BOC SP and AE all have very distinct sounds and styles, not because Rich is not blowing Tom anymore and BoC isn't having AE over for tea at the bunker, ffs. I would suggest passing judgement on something AFTER you've had a chance to analyze it in it's finishes state, which should be in a few weeks if all goes well. |

Apologies on the run-on paragraph - it was supposed to be a unordered HTML list, but I forgot the "/" in the closing tag. Phob: That edit feature would be mighty nice ;O] Good luck with project x, I'm sure it will compliment watmm.com and vice versa quite nicely. |

use the god damn preview button ;-) word, joyrex. well put. |
||||||||
|
|

|

Btw, thanks for the "good luck" thing. Hopefully they will compliment each other more than compete. I'm sure they will. |
||||||||
|
|

|

Phob: LOL! OK, OK, you win...but I am not the only one who's asked for this feature. ;O] |

Well, we're all in this together, aren't we? God, I'm nu-chatting! AHHHHHHH! :) |
