||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
check 'astrobotnia is overrated' hehehehe |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
NOOOOOOO !!!!!! There are already WAY too many ab. topics on this board. PLEASE read them first by using search ! |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
I hate the search function....I like to up to date! |

overrated? how so? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
actually, I want to know if I should buy it too.. so apologies for appearing to 'pour scorn' cygnus. Its just that its hard to appreciate music when you're relying on 'words' from people who have differing tastes anyhow. I'll check some samples before i buy it. One thing I would ask.. If AB. had made one Aphex track , which one would it have been ?(which sounds most like them ) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah but everyone likes what I like, i'm a beacon of taste, and I don't like AB well, I do, but I don't think the sun shines out of its arse, metaphorically speaking |
||||||||
|

|
|
forget who it's by..... The music is top notch...have been playing it all day... so yeah, buy it....WARP might even send you some goodies... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
jand . forgive my ignorance but isn't AB on Rephlex ? so whats with the WARP goodies ? I want the goodies. get me the goodies ! |
||||||||

|
get hard normal daddy instead can't go wrong with that, even if you've got it already |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
everyone buys their rephlex shiznitz through warpmart, they give out freebies! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
Is hard normal daddy significantly better than go plastic ? Go P! is not very good IMO. apart from in thin snippets. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
eh, I wouldn't really compare them at all. if you don't like GP, don't worry, i'm sure you'd like HND...its easy to see why people don't like GP male pill part 13 is so underrated, I never hear people talking about it, but its possibly one of 'IDM's greatest moments |

Ok, thanks for solving the rep[hlex/warpmart confusion Ben. Mebbes' I'll buy stuff from there more often.. But I gotz A great store in Nottingham that sells all the IDM stuff @ very good prices,,.. and I DO like going into shops & browsing (spend f**ing hours some days :) |
||||||||

|
HND it is !! I assume its mellower than GP... thats what I want.. Mellow 'pusher.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
its mellower in the context that its not screeching industrial noises like GP, its very funky jazzy electronic! its possibly my favourite kinda hybrid album please tell me what you think when you get it! also, if you ain't heard much pusher, I can slap you together a cd of his best stuff |

beep street and male pill pt. 13 are my two favorites from hnd. there's not a bad track on it, though. nothing beats the insane amount of layered rhythms on rustic raver! |

Who exactly is Astrobotnia? Described in the press release as a ‘Mystery Rephlex Artist’, it seems almost inconceiveable that anybody but Richard D James could be behind this staggeringly well-produced material. OK, so that’s precisely what we’re meant to think, right? But, alas, you really would have to conclude that no one but the Twin is capable of production at this level. Take ‘Everyone’, for example, percussive treatments lifted straight off Icct Hedral, sped up funky drummerisms stretched into Drukqs-flavoured breakbeat mentalisms, all the while accompanied by pure Aphex strings and harmonies. Or ‘Miss June’s’ stripped crisp tweaks and slight harmonic adjustments that ever so slightly Jar, all thrusted so unbeleivably effortlessly into perfection. As if to confuse or affirm your suspicions even further, the closing ‘Applause’ even sounds as if it employs the same Prepared Piano that sprinkled Drukqs with it’s Satie-esque charm late last year. To conclude, this really has to be the Twin, and if it ain’t.....erm....Rephlex have just landed themselves the debut electronic material of the decade. Essential. |
