I suppose i can't accuse them of not being creative (in one way) but I'm definitly getting a bit tired of tunes being given stupid or whacky(!) names, you know like Vershonik Plop, or Soundtrack to Fettle 44 Pish-Fiddle. I know it's the tunes that count, and the names are not the focus but sometimes it's like some of these tune smiths are still coasting on what seemed cool almost a decade ago. I like the approach on Aphex's SAW 2, just pics that allow people to come to their own conclusions, or perhaps no id at all, just trk 1, trk 2, etc.. ANYTHING! just something that's different to what looks like a retarded printers spat out. Sorry to grumble, I just saw the song titles for Autechre's newie, and they just sort of made me go 'meh' - sort of makes me wonder if their musical approach is going to be just as un-fresh. |

Dammit, forgot the question. Does anyone else feel some title are getting weak and formulaic? Are there other interesting ways of id'ing a song? |

hmmm.....good thinking. |

i think we should all starting to name tracks after obscure welsh towns..... then people wouldn't bother with titles! |

My opinion is that its not as easy to come up with a song title that really has no lyrics....As for bands their lyrics come from the chorus, but where would it come from in electronic music? probably from words that come to mind...or maybe we dont know what the word means or means to the artist. |

I'm definitely getting a bit tired of tunes being given stupid or wacky(!) names, you know like Vershonik Plop, or Soundtrack to Fettle 44 Pish-Fiddle. Congratulations. You've just contributed two more names for a future Aphex release, whenever the hell that is... :P ;) Anyway, I don't mind the names. I'll usually get the name and track together within a week when I first hear it, so it really isn't a problem for me. Be aware also that this is their music; the names are meaningful to them, we're basically along for the ride, so we'll have to put up with their nuances along the way. But as I said before, it doesn't bug me one way or the other. sort of makes me wonder if their musical approach is going to be just as un-fresh. Your call pal, not mine, nor a majority of this messsageboard's inhabitants. Welcome, BTW. Hope you enjoy your stay! :D |

How about Llandysul, or Pentrecwrt?! I used to live in Wales for a while, in an exceptionally obscure village (named above). My favourite Welsh place name though is Nanty Caws - makes me think of some fabled and feared monster who when encountered is about as scary as Fozzie Bear. |

Scratch'n'sniff would be pretty decent for track titles i reckon, hardcore techno would definitely smell of machine oil and heat. |

Thanks for the welcome Da Wheeze, and Mr McQueen, that's a tip top idea sir. This is what I'm talking about, inventiveness to match the music! Free your mind and your ass will follow and all that! |

Gwernllwynchwyth is a fave place near me :) |
||||||||
|
|

|

that's right. It's actually a dead boring place though - hardly anything there. But i suppose that also goes for pretty much anywhere around where i live ;) |

jar: you live in swansea right? i live here too right now. any tidy record shops down here? though i know nothing will ever beat spillers i just wanna find somewhere to pick up bits and bobs i can't be bothered to order. |

yeah a lot, i repeat a lot of this "idm" stuff is really fucking lame. |

That's a first-rate idea, Steve-o! I wonder what Chiastic Slide would smell like (besides oil, dirt, rust, grease, etc.)? ;) |

Steve: Your best bet for everything is HMV - musiquarium in the market used to be great but has gone right downhill. Derricks is cheap but doesn't have much. There's a second hand store called More Music near Joe's Ice cream, that's got some vinyl. Apart from that.... fuck all :o/ |

i checked some stuff from derricks when i was down the uni with my mate and they had a music fare thing happening. Some wicked jungle/break 12"s :) dunno whether they actually have that sort of stuff in the shop, i shall check it out though.. cheers! |
