Astrobotnia is AFX?

It's the best music who I listened in 2002, I don't know
who made these ASTROBOTNIA but it has a superior sound and
melodies imo.
I love track2 pt.1, I listened it 100 times in this
weekend.

The ambient melodies in the background are really complex
and deep, the breakbeat and drill' sounds of pt.2 remembers
drukqs.
I don't know who is Astrobotnia but it's too complex and
various for a "normal" musician... Ovuca couldn't make this
alone.

Richard are you there? Is this the right answer to drukqs
and warp records? Are you always the king? We'll know soon,
i hope...

i dunno...there are little pictures of astrobotnia at the
rephlex site now...and in the one where you can actually see
him...he looks like ovuca
it is very nice stuff though... i really like the second
song on part 1...

I like Ovuca and I like Wasted Sunday but there isn't
story... ASTROBOTNIA is too superior... believe me.
I'd not understand all this mistery and propaganda about
Astrobotnia if it would be only an Ovuca's realese.

yeah...thats a good point..
there probably is some sort of collaboration going on

Collaboration is the best probability but I wouldn't be so
sure about it.

Im mean it must be a collaboration.

If its just one person...BANG!!! there u go, now Archrival
got another person in his top 10 favourite artists of all
time.

THIS DUDE (dudes) GOT RAW TALENT!!!
Melodies, drums everything.

I think Ovuca definitly got something to do with this
project.


 

offline WooferAttack from Milano (Italy) on 2002-04-22 08:04 [#00188536]
Points: 12920 Status: Lurker



...I think

Astrobotnia pt.1
-track1- (it really seems Ovuca)
-track2- (it's my fav, Bbydhyonchord sound but with sawII
melodies in the background)
-track3- (Sospicious break drill sounds and nice melodies in
the background)

Astrobotnia pt.2
I know only 3 persons who can make these sounds... AFX,
SQUAREPUSHER or µziq.

What is Astrobotnia? I can't wait to know...

Points: 4265 Status: Lurker



WOW!!! I got IT!!!!!

Now I know what ASTROBOTNIA IS!!!!!! YIIPPEEE I got the
answer.

It really is a OVuca album but every track is a mix by other
rephlex artists like Cylob, Bogdan, AFX etc

Because this release got some elements that sound like
Cylob, AFX etc, It cant be just one person involved with
this project.

ITS A OVUCA album but the tracks is mixed by others.

it's just a guess of mine - but a collaboration is most
likely. part 1 and 2: the styles are so different.

Even those pictures at Rephlex looks like Ovuca.

I wouldn't be so sure... it sound too homogenic for a
compilation of various artists.... but I'm trying to guess,
obviously.



 

offline Archrival on 2002-04-22 08:08 [#00188544]
Points: 4265 Status: Lurker



ITs a big Ovuca project with help from the others in the
rephlex crew.

Points: 4265 Status: Lurker



If only one person did this (ovuca) then Ovucas up there
with Squarepusher, µ-ziq, AFX, AE, BOC.

if its an ovuca album.... he suddenly changed his style and
level of music overnight.

i dont think so :)

Take a look to rephlex site... there are the cd pictures of
part2... is it Rdj's handwriting? It seems I care because
you do's handwriting, isn't it?

i dont mean a compilation...more of a collaboration...where
all the artists put equal work into each track(or group of
tracks)...like maybe a rephlex supergroup


 

offline chapman from United Kingdom on 2002-04-22 08:15 [#00188550]

id say its NOT a compilation, but a collaboration

"...averything made by me..." I could see this phrase below
the cd cover back.

Anyway collaboration sounds as the better probability.

wayout: Okay, now I understood what you mean. ;)

i think we should stop worrying about the artist.... we
(might) know in time.

more importantly, just focus on the phenominal quality of
music :D

It's possible that it will be remain a mistery for a long
time after release.
They could keep the secret.

yeah...its doubtful...usually when rephlex keeps things like
this secret..they keep them secret for good...
most of the universal indicators' artists are still a
mystery arent they? ..at least havent been officially
announced

Pt 1 ... I think is def Ovuca...someone on another mentioned
that they've seen him 3 times and he's always played that
"Satan is..." track...that and the Astro Botnia town in
Finland kinda confirms this...

Pt 2 sounds too much like AFX to be anyone else really...not
AFX on his own as the melodies etc are not obviously AFX but
style/sound-wise it does...so I reckon AFX remixing Astrob
or AFX vs AstroB...

I can't see why else Rephlex would devote such time, secrecy
& expense on a new artist....

Regardless of who it is, whoever is behind Pt 2 is extremely
talented...hear that Quality!!!!!

If OVUCA really made Astrobotnia pt.1 he could become one of
my fav artist... but I've a lot of doubts.
Only track#1 / pt.1 sounds with Ovuca' style.

Astrobotnia could be best 2002 release.

what IS Astrobotnia? well it's a region in finland, actually
it's Ostrobotnia but that's pretty close.

Rephlex MUST TELL US WHO IT IS!!!!

They never told us who Bradley Strider was either, I dont
think we will ever know who/what Astrobotnia is.

Rephlex want us to care about "the music" not something else
(I agree, thats whats important, but its funny to
speculate).

Astro is already a classic.

Astrobotnia could be a new RDJ alias?
Astrobotnia could be the strong innovative answer by AFX to
Warp records and Drukqs.
Astrobotnia could be simply Ovuca.
Astrobotnia could be a collaboration between different
RePhLeX artists.
Astrobotnia could be a new misterious man.
Astrobotnia could be simply a country in Finland...

Ovuca is a fucking VERY talented artist we already knew that
tanx to wasted sunday, now listen to it and to astrobotnia
pt1 after... obvious it's the same guy, he as evolved but
it's him.
now if you listen part 2 + traks from the rephlex radio show
(not the same as those from the site mp3s) it's def another
person (afx...)
+ from the radio show there's maybe tracks from astrobotnia
pt3... i much prefer the tracks from the readio show than
from the mp3s btw
