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

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.

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?

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.

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 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.

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.
