i find it very interesting that there are as many people on this board as there are that don't care for rdj and icbyd, or at least don't place them highly on the list of favs....personally i love rdj; it's very toyish and giddy, while remaining sharply intelligent. many parts of it are very simple and constant but never cross the line into monotony, and contain melodies that move you but stay in your head, executing perfectly the "less is more" idea....i think icbyd is really inventive and thought provoking, but it just doesn't affect me emotionally the way other aphex albums do...it's more a mental stimulation than emotional comfort, and certain parts of it seem to me to drag on a bit. on a side note, while windowlicker is a helluva lot of fun to listen to and pure genius in its underlying links to hip hop, i fail to see it as even close to qualifying for the top four albums of all. something about it feels hurried yet idle for me....like maybe he was just cranking it out to quickly, without much care for it. i dunno, i guess it all goes to show just how different opinions and tastes are (all these varied stances on this subject are refreshing imo) |

Ok, just to remind you- 1) I agree that these two albums were greatly influencial (on me included) 2) I never said I could do better 3) I simply think Druqks is much more accomplished, and especially more well produced. 4) It's simply my opinion, and it's not right or wrong, just my opinion. To those who love them...why do you love them, apart from the fact that they were greatly influencial? |
||||||||

because i like hearin' the tracks simply as that |

But i saw you've earned yourself a gold star... yeah.. since that gold star my daydreams 'bout becoming a mod started again.. :D i wear it all day long you know :) but as i said somewhere else; if i see someone on this board doing/saying something worthwhile (which is, as you all know, a rare phenomena here) i'll give him/her my gold star, although i would very much miss it :\ btw a person must at least have one 100+ thread one his name... otherwise you're not even worth a paper star, but i think this won't be a problem for any of you *giggles* :P |

morton a moderator... *shudders* I'm not sure if it would give me a safe feeling knowing you are watching over us ;-) And would you be able to handle the responsibilities? Would you?! :-p Someone: "nah, i don't like radioactive man" Morton: "You're banned!" Someone else: "seinfeld sucks!" Morton: "That's it! No xltronic for you! NEXT!" "but i think this won't be a problem for any of you" ho ho ho, heeeeeeelarious! You're such a funny man ;-D But... ehr... well... I've got more point than you! Ha! :-p And you've actually been around longer than me! (i think)... so there! sucker... ;-) |

I've got more point than you! Ha! :-p And you've actually been around longer than me! (i think)... so there! sucker... ;-) Well Mr. surrounded if you would have taken the little effort of looking at both our accounts (instead of lying in bed the whole day), you would have noticed that surrounded is member since: 2002-02-05 14:22 whereas our dear friend morton is only a member since: 2002-11-20 07:01 so literally translated from dutch, this sentence would describe my feelings: you can whistle at that gold star! oftewel: naar die gouden ster kun je fluiten!!! :P :) |

"Well Mr. surrounded if you would have taken the little effort of looking at both our accounts (instead of lying in bed the whole day), Well that's one way to look at it ;-) I'd say: i have more important things to do in life than looking at people's accounts all day long to see since when they've been around :-p And i was going to put in a good word for you with Phobiazero, but you can whistle at that now my friend ;-) :-p >:) :-D |

||||||||

|

Kids, kids, kids..... Stop about this nonsense.... everybody knows that rdj & icbyd where groundbreaking albums when they were released. for the new afx addicts, stop comparring the new ones with the old ones because it doesnt make any sense!! im sorry for your cat, surrounded : ( |

YEah if u started with Drukqs then everything u gonna hear is gonna be dissapointment ;) thats his real masterpiece tho, I really love both ICBYD and RDJ album and been listening to them from 1995 to 2001 constantly. |

DrukQs is kind of a fan-only release. |

is that you in your avatar DJ Xammax? If so, you look like Fred Durst! |

I'd say: i have more important things to do in life than looking at people's accounts all day long to see since when they've been around Well doing a little deskresearch before posting "And you've actually been around longer than me!"-kind-of-statements here wouldn't hurt ;) :) I remember you saying you 'didn't really like electro' and didn't buy the radioactive man album when you saw it, so if (and i'm talking about 90% chances here) i become a mod in the near future, you'll be the first one i'll ban mister :P and i'm talking 'bout apermanent ban here of course :D ..and you don't have to speak to phobiazero to do a good word for me, 'cause he just emailed me a diamond star and said: "you would make a perfect mod morton (or shall i call you modton already?)" <-- that's what he said literally if i were you i'd see this as an official warning surrounded :D so for crying out loud: BEHAVE! .. of course this is all crap-talk (which everybody is already used to when it's morton who's posting) actually i think it's pretty cool that more people around here (like you surrounded) actually like seinfeld, and of course IDM and so many people (like err.. well me and .. hmm i'm sure there are some more..) have something useful to say about it.. :) :P |

Actually my friend it's DJ Shadow. You will usually see him in my avatar. |

RDJ & ICBYD are both excellent albums. I think the RDJ album is what defines his style best. Quick, hyper-complex drums & melodic synths. |
||||||||

thanks! :-) it actually means alot when people care and say they're sorry or something like that. Makes me feel a bit better :-) |

Haha, you really are a funny man. Our little discussions always make me laugh out loud :-p "Well doing a little deskresearch before posting "And you've actually been around longer than me!"-kind-of-statements here wouldn't hurt ;) :)" lol, well atleast i had the decency to add an "(i think)" to that statement. ;-) And in the end such minor details as who got here first don't really matter. What matters is who's got the most points baby :-p "I remember you saying you 'didn't really like electro' " hm... yeah that's right. Did you actually remember that or look it up? "and didn't buy the radioactive man album when you saw it" LOL! Well if you're gonna ban everyone who doesn't own the radioactiveman-album this board's gonna be a lonely place for you i think ;-) I can count the person's i've ever heard talking about that album on one finger :-p ""you would make a perfect mod morton (or shall i call you modton already?)" That's funny, he mailed me suggesting we refer to you as moron from now on ;-) And yes indeed you are right about the seinfeld-atmosphere in here. Many many people love that show! :-D |

Yeah, I just realized that... without those extra songs tacked on, the album is way too short and pretty lacking... but man, all those songs fit together so well into one bad motherfucker album. Drukqs sounds a bit too ''samey''... the songs on RDJ all have their own unique sounds. Drukqs recycles a lot of synth sounds and beats. If you just dropped me into the middle of one of the hard songs, it'd take me a few seconds to figure out which one it was, pretty ''samey''. The songs also tend to drag on too long... RDJ is nice and concise. Actually, I don't even know why I'm arguing, Drukqs is probably my favorite IDM album. |

**YEah if u started with Drukqs then everything u gonna hear is gonna be dissapointment well arch, I started with drukqs in my whole idm adventure, and I have been never dissapointed by the twin... further, I think I prefer his older stuff (ab3, polygon window, classics...) but again, I love drukqs |
||||||||

i like ICBYD because it gives me pleasure when i listen. |
||||||||
|
|

|

like = love it's not math, i can't tell you why. it's music gosh darnit! |

"YEah if u started with Drukqs then everything u gonna hear is gonna be dissapointment ;) thats his real masterpiece " ermm, actually I wish I started with drukqs, because then it could only get better |

i used to listen to icbyd a lot, but now i only enjoy a few tracks (acrid avid jamshred hasnt lost it's impact on me still though). it' weird how i find myself realizing that i dont like much of what i used to. i guess my musical taste evolves. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the fact that i used the term 'evolve' sounds pretentious (evolution to me, implies a certain idea of progression). let's just say my musical taste changed. im sure it's he same with everyone. |

haha the conversation between Morton and Surrounded was great, that kept making me laugh... anyways, I knid of agree with the founder of this thread here that rdj is less accomplished than drukqs. I really hate the last few tracks on the cd (the girl\boy ep stuff , it sucks) but some of the tracks on rdj are great but I just dont like it much as a whole. I like icbyd a lot better but it still has some stuff that I dont like all that much. drukqs, remains my favorite, saw 2 is my second favorite, but drukqs is not samey to me, I really like the contrast in the piano tracks and the drill n bass, its a nice fit no matter what you guys say I'll never be convinced!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

"lol, well atleast i had the decency to add an "(i think)" to that statement." hm, i highly doubt if you ever really do :P :) btw since the xltronic-team already sent me all necessary mod-equipment, i might just as well try it out on you mr. surrounded *grabs his temporary-ban-gun and starts shooting at surrounded* *shoots an official-warning-rocket towards surrounded* *throws a points-back-to-zero-grenade towards surrounded* that'll teach you, making fun of me becoming a mod!!! this is the last and final warning mister! for gods sake behave! (i don't want to frighten or threaten you here but yesterday phob sent me some permanent-ban-mines, they should arrive today (if the mailman survived the delivery)) :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i like RDJ album. the melodies are sweet. it's better than Drukqs which is crap imo. haven't heard Windolicker or I Care, so can't compare |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah nice talking 'Moron' but, BUT Ceri just gave me a call claiming this star was only valid for just ONE DAY. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well after that he gave ME a call, claiming your account is only valid for one more day!!! :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
your account is a hoax !! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
surrounded!!! i saw your 'huh it's not even friday afternoon'-post in the other thread! don't make me get my temp.-ban-gun again ey..? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
lol, you really are obsessed with becoming a mod, aren't you? :-p "*shoots an official-warning-rocket towards surrounded*" haha! ooh! ooh! An official warning, i'm real scared now ;-) not! :-p This board loves me, if anyone's going to get banned it's you ;-) "(i don't want to frighten or threaten you here but yesterday phob sent me some permanent-ban-mines, they should arrive today (if the mailman survived the delivery))" hehe, but you keep forgetting i am the mailman. And sadly your little package was "onvoldoende gefrankeerd" ;-) (hides stamps he tore from morton's package), i had to send it back to the sender's address :-p |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
heehee ;-) But seriously, i do begin to wonder what the hell sort of job you have that lets you post on a messageboard all day long? :-p |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
i ask myself that very question surrounded !!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
LOL damn, forgot you're the mailman :\ i'm having an internship at philips at the moment, i'm studying chemistry they leave me very free to do whatever i want here (as long as my project is in motion), probably too much :) and don't even think of saying there's a link between my internship and the 3.200.000.000 loss philips has just announced :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, actually, there is |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"i'm studying chemistry" lol, when someone asks me what i've been up to this afternoon i'll be able to say i've been busy studying chemistry then ;-) "there's a link between my internship and the 3.200.000.000 loss philips has just announced :D" hehe, i don't know morton... you're trying awfully hard to deny it... maybe a little too hard? ;-) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i meant: i study chemistry (not at this moment obviously :D ) erronous, it's more easy to click the red number (behind name,place,date&time)on top of someones thread when you reply to someone, it's more clear who you're talking at then |
||||||||

its a dutch invasion!! morton! studeer je scheikunde? waar? in welk jaar zit je? want ik wil ook scheikunde gaan studere maar kweet nog nie precies wat en waar en hoe en waarom en hoelaat enzo... wat voor project doe je bij phillips? oh and about rdj album and icbyd, icbyd is his best album ever (imho) and rdj album being only 30 minutes, thats much better than 2 discs with only about 5 tracks that really stand out (we all know what i mean right ;);) mhahaha <-elmer fudd laugh) |
||||||||

and about rdj album? or icbyd? |

morton! studeer je scheikunde? waar? in welk jaar zit je? want ik wil ook scheikunde gaan studere maar kweet nog nie precies wat en waar en hoe en waarom en hoelaat enzo... wat voor project doe je bij phillips? Ik studeer HLO-Chemie (Hoger Laboratorium Onderwijs) in Eindhoven (4e jaars). Ik doe nu stage en na de zomervakantie (als het goed is) afstuderen. Bij philips werk ik aan de ontwikkeling van flexibele LCD-displays. Ze willen daar buigbare displays maken, ik moet met glas van 0,1 en 0,05 mm dik werken. Beetje ingewikkeld om verder uit te leggen, maar het is wel interessant en leuk vind ik. Daarnaast doe ik nog een klein project dat gaat over het drogen van coatings (problemen die daarbij komen kijken). Ik vind het wel een leuke opleiding omdat je veel in het lab staat te klooien enzo (op stage ook), beter dan alleen maar in de boeken vind ik. :) Ik kan ook TNT maken, haha |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
":) Ik kan ook TNT maken, haha" Your avatar is just right for a that statement ;-) Imagine Kramer with TNT... making a face like that :-p Anyway, i've heard about those flexible displays! In the near future (or so the article said) we will have televisions that you can roll up, and when you get home you just put them on your wall like you would wallpaper... hehe... it sounded rather fascinating! Maybe one day we will all be viewing this site on monitors that you developped ;-) |
