It's simple. Richard D James is the King of Electronic Music. There have been many groups such as the Prodigy, Orbital, and so on. Nobody can compete with the Aphex Twin for the huge amount of brilliant albums, EPs, tracks, etc in electronic music. His influence is almost unparalleled in electronic music. There's a lot of brilliant electronic music out there but something about Aphex stands out. And there's a question of how to thank Richard D James for making all these great trax available to us. And there's been this totally cruddy genre name called IDM that's been tied to him for years and years. And you see that these free new soundcloud trax have a genre name on some of them: afx So from now on, let's change the fookin' genre name from idm to afx. AFX what a brilliant genre! The best genre ever. Electronic music that's influenced by the Aphex Twin. That would be the ultimate way to thank Richard D James for the caustic window album, syro, the piano trax, and the new soundcloud free trax. Thanks Richard, from the fans! |

My name is Andrei Thompson from Portland. Thank you Richard. Hope other fans will pick up the AFX name for their genre on their musics. |

i dont think thats a good idea. afx music is diferent and special, most idm sucks |
||||||||
|

Well he wanted to call it Braindance so why not call it that? Actually I don't mind the IDM label, no one actually takes it seriously so it's obviously tongue-in-cheek |

But on forum.watmm.com they have come up with the idea to say AFX instead of IDM |

the best way to thank him, i think, is if 50+ members from xltronic turn up unannounced at his rural scotland home and fist pump while shouting "APHEX APHEX APHEX" |

thanks for letting your fans wait for over ten years for one album and now come up with way to many songs at once so we cannot listen/ hear your songs properly and..also thanks for ruining 2015 music wise..how can I now find the time to listen to any other album???...thanks for fucking with your fans and colleagues who are releasing their music atm and don't get any attention because everybody is busy downloading your songs at soundcloud. Also thanks for you non-communication about the why you're doing this/ or even worse: if you're really doing this yourself. |

Thanks for sorting all your old trax out, it must feel liberating, like you can move onto new projects. Thanks for sharing said trax with your fanbase for free! This recent Sc dump has caused me to purchase all the eps missing from my collection, in a way that's my show of support. |

Just download his shit. Buy his shit. Express yourself. I'm sure he's not looking for, nor needs an implicit thanks..... Well, you missed your chance on here anyhow.... Ahem wavephace |

yeah i mean i must admit i get the impression he isn't the type of person who thrives on excess adulation, its probably wasted on him to a certain extent, this is just my impression. |

I knew this thread was going to be completely pointless shit before I opened it, just due to the retard who posted it. I only have myself to blame for bothering. |

There's a lot of negative vibes out there. It's time for positivity with full energy. There's a lot of guys that need pussy. In that case www.sosuave.com has the answers. Don't be ashamed, lots of guys can't get laid. Back on topic, thanks Richard. You are the KING. |

negativity spreads a lot more easily than positivity. thus, if you're serious, i'd also preach that a conscious effort to avoid spreading negativity is as important as urging positivity in others -- and should probably even be assigned a greater proportion of your mental effort. |

Agreed |

i have a great idea. read watmm then steal a relativety crap idea that they had for a thread then post it here to make myself look really cool. oops i forgot to say the word douchebag. and cross-posting. and you're a cunt. and multiple troll accounts. and cunt again. |

that's sweet and touching. but I agree that Richard doesn't seem that kind of a sorry person who does sth to be appreciated by a group of followers on a sorry site like WATMM. next step I imagine will be a 5 cd compilation of thank-you-Rich IDM crap from all the respected and well-known WATMM IDM artists - to help them promote their IDM output in the internet world. and Joyrex will cash on it. that's how those beautiful ideas end up. but I might be wrong. "what kind of music do you listen to ?" "I listen to AFX" "Ah, Aphex Twin ?" "No, no, AFX - the genre !!" "What's AFX ?" "Well, that's IDM but you should call it AFX now" "What's IDM then ?" "That's music similar to AFX music - like Autechre, Plaid, Boards Of Canada..." "Are you retarded ? Those bands don't even sound any similar to one another. That name is like an insult to them" "Whatever....so will you buy my AFX cd or not ?" "Ah, Aphex Twin ?" "No, no, AFX - the genre !! I ALREADY TOLD YOU!!!" ok, I need some air. bbl |

WATMM has already started filtering out IDM and replacing it with AFX on all the old posts. So I think that WATMM has the right idea. How do you know what Aphex Twin wants. I think it's really presumptive of you to think that you know that Aphex Twin won't appreciate the gesture. And if some people release music in the AFX genre then that is the best compliment anyone could ever give to him. So again I will say to you: Thank you Richard. You have made the best music. Thanks again, friend. From your fans. PS remember, the mp3s themselves have the AFX genre tagged inside. So I believe that Richard *does* agree. Anyway you have the right to your opinion. I have the right to my opinion too. |

just because aphex released every little minor musical thought that crossed his mind doesn't you have to. this one is a really dumb idea. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sure, we're both right but I have a better name: Lush Dance Music = ldm OR LDM if that graphical joke would not be noticed out there at WATMM. and you read it first here, at xltronic.com if Rich notices this post and starts tagging his SC tracks as ldm or LDM: WATMM=LOSE and XLT=WIN. ^__^ |
