I don't see how people could call a lot of rephlex's stuff "dark". It seems quite tongue in cheek to me. Even the evil laughter in Astrobotnia is quite funny...

"tounge in cheek" basically means its just something you can smirk at, something not to be taken seriously.

Some aspect in a concept blowing out of proportions so that it becomes in a special way funny. A bit of self mockery I guess

all this pitchfork sucks buisness - what you really mean is pitchfork contains the perspectives of alot of different writters who's words i may not occasionally agree with ...
it's a bit smug to expect to agree with everything everyone who writes for pitchfork says in the hour or so a day they get to knock out a review .. if everyone agreed then life would be fucking dull anyway

nope, i've read a few reviews on there its not the fact that they have different opinions, its the way they write the reviews and the reasons they give that make people (or at least me) have the opinion that they do indeed suck.

I don’t agree with Pitchfork either. :>
I mean I really don’t agree with them.
But I like to form my own opinion of music anyway from samples available to download. I guess reviews are not my thing. I want them to review track 2 from SponCD1 however but this is an in-joke for my own amusement. I’m stoned too so I’m gonna take it off-line soon. }:>

so yuo admit you don't agree with them - that is to say you don't see the music you love from the viewpoint they do...
absorb.org is better btw or the bbc site which has a much broasser range www.bbc.co.uk/music

*sigh* no one is going to agree with them 100% of the time and I cant stand the way they write the reviews, which is the main reason why i don't like them.
and yes the bbc site is good, i've been there before, some nice reviews. I'll have to check out the absorb site, thx.

I like their style.
Their review of Moby Play and 18 was too harsh though.
