just forking this one off. EpicMegatrax: "i don't know [mark bell's] music (yet) either." mappatazee: "wtf, man?" marlowe: New generation, mappatazee :/ i feel like you two think i was bragging about my ignorance; i was not. my point was that i really "felt it" without having met mark or heard LFO; quality of character shone through even in this piss farm -- xlt was just something he did in his spare time for a giggle, no doubt, and even that became something to someone. and, when you have something real to say in memory of someone, you say it, you don't just quote some hallmark card bullshit. in any case, you two seriously need to climb down out of your own asses: turning the "do you know artist X" thing into a competition is pathetic. when you do, it's you propping up your own ego with bullshit. i think you'd find it a lot more pleasant if you spent time appreciating the things you claim as yours, rather than appreciating that someone else isn't onto it (yet). it's not even like i'm some twerp saying "oh screw that old fart stuff," there's just a lot of music in the world, and it takes a while to get through it all! there is no faster way to turn yourself into a isolated, crusty old stiff that noone listens to, than to be condescending to the few kiddies that listen to you in the first place. disclaimer: they were probably just trolling; i'd have let it slide, but this is a real problem, yo. crate-diving elitism has to fucking stop. |

LFO isn't exactly obscure...not sure why you accuse of crate-diving elitism. Just go listen to the LFO EP and the Frequencies album and stop making excuses. :p |

let's be real, here -- how many years did each of you lose to pink floyd? smoking some of that shitty 70s weed; the stereo guy tells you about "quadrophonic" and puts on the clock song, and ten years have passed you by before you miss the starting pun |

i actually do appreciate knowing where to start; noted. mostly just, i could play it now, tired and faffing about on the web... or in the car, where i'll miss minutes at a time when traffic gets thick.... but given all the shit going on, i sort of want to sit down and focus, and it's hard to secure that sort of serious time with life being the fucking jerk that it is. but i will get to it soon enough. |

Well, you should know about music a couple generations before your time that is related to what you like now. I wasn't around for kraftwerk, early eno, silver apples, and so on but I know about it because it was seminal to everything else I came to like. If you like Aphex and Autechre you should know about Artificial Intelligence era early 90s stuff like LFO, Cabaret Voltaire and so on. It's like listening to DMX Krew but never looking into 80s electro or freestyle and just assuming he came up with all of it on his own. DMX is better after you've heard, say Lisa Lisa, Aphex is better once you've heard Drexciya and so on. |

I think he has tons of hobbies. I've realised maybe a tad late that he clearly has problems dealing with his brain and that means I've warmed to him. If he wants my "help" it's his, as condescending as that sounds. |

seriously, posting on xlt requires that you at least looked at the discography of warp, planet mu and rephlex. Not knowing LFO is weird in here. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

I know you're being light about it but it's OK, no? I'm sure his generation knows tons of stuff I have no clue exist. Let's not give someone a hard time for not knowing something. |

i disagree with u guys. cannonizing music codifys the idea of good and bad taste which imo doesnt exist and its only used 2 as a weapon put value judgements on ppl (such as what was done on epic mega tracsk) or 2 boost ego (individual or group) |

I'm not spanking his behind, it's just weird for me that he doesn't know LFO. I'm curious for the music he knows btw, that's the reason why I keep coming back to this place: to discover excellent electronic music ☺ |
||||||||

At least now EpicMegafarts knows about LFO. Start with (WAP 005) and go from there. What a wonderful journey of discovery lies ahead! For a machine enthusiast you ought to love it. |

Jivver was my best webz friend! and he admired me for my natural trolling skills. He honed his own trolling talent through careful observance of my natural ninjatune forum trolling talent, and brought his own assimilation of them here, when NJ couldn't handle anymore trollz and started to ban peopel |

RePHlex is on a hiatus apparently. A long one. Keep up, spankers! |

"What a wonderful journey of discovery lies ahead" "Yeah he's lucky in that sense!" ...exactly why i don't just put it on while stuck in traffic. as for this thread, it gives me a laugh how much a bit of the feelies makes the grouches here squirm. i'm not entirely serious here, you know.... like, rdj was born in, what, 1967? and dark side of the moon was 1973? 'twas just a joking way of making a serious point: i think a lot of people have a "whoa, pink floyd" phase. for some it lasts decades |
||||||||
|

|||||||||

i still listen to pink floyd almost on a weekly basis. probably my all time fave band. i sorta wish i could call another group or person my fave, because i don't feel like that pink floyd fan, but really.. it's fucking pink floyd. never really got in to the final cut, division bell, or piper at the gates of dawn (except for relics content) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I wonder if the next album is any good.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i never liked multiplication gong, either (though i did have a weird dream about that album cover once!). back when i first tried weed, someone learned that i was both new to smoking and unfamiliar with the floyd. he promptly said here, sit in this chair, smoke this, now i'm going to just put this on and leave it here with you. then he did; he literally left the room so as not to be distracting! it was dark side of the moon, and that was a pretty good first experience with pink floyd. piper is probably my favorite, but that's almost a different band; doesn't really count. other than that, i suppose i'd go with wish you were here.... but anything they did before the 80s tends to be good by default. anyways, i was just trying to emphasize that we aren't born with taste; it's something that develops over time. pointless to give someone grief about not knowing all the stuff you do if you've a decade or two more of listening under your belt; that's no fair at all... |

what.cd is on freeleech so i just got everything LFO on there. i'm going to put my monitors on ebay so i think it's time to drop the hammer. also downloading all the FSOL stuff. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
yes |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
since "quite good" didn't go very well, i'm going to go with not bad |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
bad |
||||||||
|
|

all joking aside, i could write up reviews of all the tracks, but i'm trying for something more succinct, here. i listened through it properly while exercising (heard something about bell breakdancing and figured it'd work; it did). in a nutshell, El Ef Oh! is what tri repeatae would have sounded like if autechre were not robots incapable erections -- and tri repeatae is my favorite autechre album. otherwise, overall drexciya and orbital tones. some of the tracks did little for me, but many did a lot. i was thoroughly sold after hearing "we are back." freak EP is good; look forward to listening through to the full album that's off of. |

perfect. i'm slightly drunk and i'll write even up more crap than usual |

first, though, how do i take this mixer apart? i can't figure what's holding the top panel on. i could just take out the screws and let things fall off, but that's a jerk way of doing it |

never mind, sorted it. filthy in there |

I think you're confusing knowing LFO with liking LFO. If you're a regular at xlt, the least thing you could do is being aware of the existence of the music. Personal taste aside. @epic: Know the fucking history! Kthxu |

goDel, understand i have to understand before i know where to run sheath is a lot more exciting. mum-man makes isopropanol sound weak and wimpy; so what if yamaha stole aphex's drum noises |
