I really miss the old days

the days where i just got into ae, afx, squarepusher and
such artists. remember when you discovered them, the
feeling you had when you realized they had so much more
material to listen to and/or buy?

now, ive got pretty much everything by these artists, but i
want more!

oh, the nostalgia! is it just me, or does it seem like they
released a lot more stuff like 6 years ago (more quickly,
like more than one release per year)?

perhaps u might enter a whole new field of something
completely different and get the same impression of that as
u did of such artists in the old days...

Cortex: I loved having all the Ae cds ordered and having
'that phone call' every week. "Hi this is HMV, your
autechre cd is here". I would jump for joy. You've never
seen anyone so giddy. Now... no more Ae :( that I can get
that is... I can't get ANY gescom here.

yeah, i know what you mean. for me, it was going to a
record shop each week on the way to the university and
looking for something new in the ae selection. that time i
saw chiastic slide (a 36$ import...), i think i cried of joy
;)

I SERIOUSLY miss my phase where I was discovering the
Beatles... that was the best. Followed by Aphex Twin, then
Autechre. But particularly The Beatles and Aphex... so much
material by them, and they're so dynamic and diverse... oh,
it's depressing.

I'm getting into Plaid, Richard Devine and some others right
now, but they're not on the same level.

plaid and devine are great, but they dont have as much
material as, let's say, ae or afx. it's not quite the same
thing.

i also had a beatles phase, and a pink floyd phase.

boy, he was fun to discover.....

(btw: i also had a (short) pink floyd phase..... i still
like 'em though)

I'm liking Boards of Canada... I already have everything
they released, except Hi Scores, so it's just sitting and
waiting for new material now... I'm going to try and keep up
with everything they release and get it, so I can own it
all!!!

Actually, I think my other big phases were Metallica and
Black Sabbath/Ozzy. 0_o Squarepusher is good, but I wouldn't
put him up there in the elite phases... probably because I
found Autechre at the same time, and, well... Autechre is
equal to or greater than God.

that would be because ae are god.

i'm still sort-of going through my nin phase -- i don't know
what it's all about. some nights i will just listen to all
NIN and nothing else..

my first phase was with U2... I now own all their studio
albums, a couple live ones, their greatest hits with the
b-sides, and a few singles... then it was radiohead,
Genesis, Pink Floyd, Dave Matthews Band (not as crazy
though), Steely Dan maybe next, and then Aphex Twin,
Autechre, Boards of Canada, etc, etc...

hehe, that's when you know you're a hardcore fan: you got
every albums from an artist, including their "best of".

you know you're hardcore when you feel selfish about music
you didn't make. period.
