slightly more enjoyable now that its been a while... but i
still think its a bad album... but it can be appreciated for
the fact that it takes dissapline to make something so
simple knowing that you could do so much more with it if you
wanted to. and it takes dissapline to record all those darn
bells and symbols and such.

My current quote limits what I am allowed to say on this
subject... but I am going to volunteer that I don't think it
was discipline that caused cylob to make that album that
simple.

I have very little respect for cylob. I feel he has very
little tallent, and would not have much of a musical carreer
if it werent for his friends. Not to mention the fact that
he acts like an immature prick whenever you make comments he
doesn't like about his music.

hehehe right ... i also don´t really know what to think of
him ... i istened to a few songs in the last time and must
say - i´m not really impressed at all ... some goodies
indeed, but really nothing that blows ... is he really that
"pricky"?

Apearantly he is a really nice guy untill you tell him that
you aren't a fan of his music.

I don't think RDJ really cares, as long as the records are
selling.

dear taxidermist,
cylob was signed to rephlex on the strength of a demo like
everyone else.
He is friends with rephlex because he has worked with
rephlex for 8 years and you become friends over that period
of time.
Listen to moodbells more and it makes a lot of sense - it's
very tuneful and beautifully made.
And Cylob is a nice guy - he probably just doesn't like to
be hassled by people.

Mood Bells is terribly boring... Selected Ambient Works Vol.
II compared to Mood Bells is Drill'n'Bass... ;)

I laugh when I hear mood bells. In fact I piss my pants it
is such a funny album. Music at its best. I don't often
laugh when I listen to music. Give the man a hand for his
genius.

I actually really like "Cut the Midrange...." - I think it's
funny. It's not brilliant musically, but it's not supposed
to be. It's just funny, and sounds reasonably original.

I really like Cylob: one of my favourite Rephlex artists. I
like his silliness.

And if you want to hear a really good Cylob track, try Smack
em Up Sharp. That's class.

''damn such behaviour sucks, don´t it!! do you think afx

Joyrex mentioned in an Email to Richard that he thought
Drukqs was ''OK''...

And RDJ found it offensive... he thinks it's brilliant. And
now he won't get in touch with Joyrex again. So RDJ seems
pretty damn protective of his music, like Cylob... probably
even more-so!

I am sorry. People will hand out the label brilliant to
anyone who makes a wanky atmospheric album, reguardless of
how piss poor the effort is. Saw II was brilliant. Mood
Bells was not.

I think an artist, especially one who is published, should
show the maturity to accept the fact that some people might
not like them. I can see why richard d james would react
that way with an established fansite. I doubt he would act
that way towards a regular fan.

Back when Cylob became a Rephlex artist, wasn't RDJ quoted
as saying he only signed his friends? And that it didn't
always matter whether their music was any good?
