aphex twin gives up the funk
 

Dave on 2001-08-14 04:13 [#00021616]



i recently turned a friend on to aphex twin (always a
triumphant sort of thing when anyone i know likes the twin,
because my conversion attempts usually fail). his interests
lie primarily in jazz and funk -- black music, let's say.
his first comment was, "god, this shit is so funky!" does
anyone get that sense, that above all else, the pleasures
derived from aphex are the utterly barbed beats and the
ecstatic funkitude? i mean, if i ever heard him spin live i
think i might shit myself it would be so funky...

yeah... cow cud is a twin is pretty funky in my opinion...
and windowlicker... and a few others... i actually got my
friend on to afx, he was into fatboy slim (and still is)...
he's also got 2 other people into afx, one is actually going
to buy one of his albums! spreading the word, rob
fragilenine style!!!

all i've heard of aphex twin are the albums i own, which are
come to daddy, rdj, windowlicker, and saw2....of these i
don't find the majority to be very funky, but at least one
song off each of these (save saw2) is VERY funky in my
opinion. squarepusher's go plastic is the funkiest i've
heard in this style of music, his stuff off this album can
be neck breaking, man.

I think 'weathered stone' is quite laid back and has a bit
of a groove..., in my opinion anyway..

I got my friend into aphex too.... he now owns almost every
cd from aphex!! he bought them all at once... spent like
200 bones on like 10 different online stores!!

He used to be into rap and hiphop... Im slowly pulling him
into the darkside.....

you know, it was windowlicker. that was the first one he
bought. man, that beat...i don't know what's funkier, the
funky shit or the breaks on it that no human could dance to.
what a piece of genius.

Anyone agree, Expert Knob Twiddlers is pretty funky.

Can anyone listen to Windowlicker and not like it? =D I have
to admit that I can't help but dabble in a little dancing
when the song is on, if you can call it dancing :-) Thank
God no one can see me :-)

Congrats on converting your friend :-)

I have a friend who I tried to convert, I sent him a tape of
some of Richards finest works.

He didn't like it much...
