I'm new here, and even newer to watmm forums. Having visited there for only a couple of days, they seem to be pretty big fucking critics of everything. They cut up SAW1 and Bilious paths - and they were pretty damn harsh about it too. Am I seeing a representative example of watmm discussion? |
||||||||

I've only been to watmm like once or twice... I don't like the design of the site at all... |

Sometimes they're like that. I left watmm (at least for the time being) for many reasons, including a few people there who were a bit too hostile for me. I'm sure I'll go back sometime. The majority of people that go there are good people and I like being on a messageboard with them. There are only a few, namely Pen Expers, that ruined it for me. Watmm isn't all about being critical though, so I don't think that's representative. Just take some time there and see if you like it or not. That's all. They deserve a fair shot. |

A few of them were trashing Mikey P for being a poser. Calling his latest album a Vsnares rip off.... I say...what the fuck else is new? He openly admits to being heavily influenced by RDJ and squarepusher as can be clearly heard from Tango N'Vectif to present, and he can't stop talking about Vsnares, as can be presently heard on Bilious paths. I say, if you aren't an imitator, it doesn't mean you're a poser. I guess RDJ is a poser for having adopted squarepusher drill n'bass. AND THEY FUCKING CUT UP SAW1, calling it 80's porn and repetetive. Ya...let's just cut up a watershed in ambient electronica. cunts. |

Eh, SAW 85-92 is one of my favorite albums. It's my favorite out of RDJ's stuff. |

I went there once for some reason for about a minute, just never been inclined to go back. |

tango n'vectif weas way before squarepusher came about so ypo can't hear squarepushers influence there - problem is muziq caqn do betterr and more original stuff - tango n'vectif and bluff limbo being proof. also i think afx and luke vibert were doing drum and bass style stuff before squarepusher - alsd rdj's stuff is totally differnent. Luke vibert did the weird takew on drum and bass stuff without being horrible bukem style drum and bass first with his plug records ad then lp |

squarepusher released Feed Me Wierd Things in 1996, and RDJ album was in 1997. µ-ziq did urmur bile in 1997 (year after squarpusher) and has since kept up the drilln' bass formula. Tango N'vectif sounds like SAW1, Classics, and Surfing Sine Waves but with more overt melodies. |

I think this topic is uncalled for and out of line. There really is no need to bring this up... as a frequent user of both boards, I find comparing the 2 is just nonesense and crap... people trying to justify that they have the better MB? What, is this like a soccer team? If you dont like it, just dont go. Dont bring it up that "omg, I dont like this place! what about you?! dont you not like it?" whats the point? to me, it just sounds like your trying to be cool, and fit in with all of the antiwatmm-ness that is on these boards... maybe im wrong... but thats how I always see it with people who constantly bring this subject up... its like they are trying to gain approval through thier dislike of the "other" board. but again, that may not be the case... its just how i see it... so, yeah... please just, forget about all this. its a waste of time, and effort. |

YAOWZAS... Just a question. A no response would have been suffice. I'm sorry to have offended you with such a question. I just find it wierd how any of us can sit and trash something that we owe respect to. I challenge the people trashing bilious paths to make something better in their own bedroom. If you don't like it say "it doesn't suit my tastes". "IT's shit" is offensive. |

You're a musician zeus. Would you rather have me tell you that you're music is good but "not to my tastes"? Or should I just call your music utter shit? |
||||||||

Why you came BACK ZEUS !? Because YOU LOVE US, and XLT IS BETTER ! SO THERE THIS GUY HAS A POINT HAW HAW ! |

he's only asking if he saw a representative example of watmm discussions don't make such a big deal of that, it looks like you feel personally attacked or something |

I quite like watmm, it's more chilled out than over here. I don't like SAWI at all :D |
||||||||

begone thou deceiver! |
||||||||

|

Right....just a question. I just found the difference between this board, and watmm quite striking. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I apologize if my post sounded harsh or offensive too. I didn't intend to cause a ruckus....and I've had a long day. |
||||||||

its just like, every 3 days, there seems to be another attack at watmm, or on watmm, there is a attack on xltronic. its just fucking annoying, and pointless. there is really no reason for it... it solves nothing... what does it accomplish? Im just tired of it. cath: my issue isnt about how they critique music... its about bringing up the whole watmm issue at a place that is obviously a rival. (oh, and btw... take a look through any random old thread about an album on here, and youll likely find just an equally criticizing post) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
What do any of us accomplish? The post would have given me an idea of what others thought about the watmm board. You need to take a chill pill zeus - and I think you're exaggerating. Maybe hostility does run rampant on the watmm board? I haven't encountered that here. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i wonder if i've ever drawn people away from this board and over to watmm... probably! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I did do a search on Bilious paths here.......no.....less hostile, more respect, and very split opinions. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ive been here for a year now this board is just as, if not more, hostile. I dont think I need to take a chill pill. I think you should just admit that perhaps you started a thread on a touchy subject, that really didnt need another thread dedicated to it. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
I think you should lick my balls...how's that for hostile ; ) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Why don't you go to the moderator had have my thread deleted because it is obviously disturbing you and the rest of this board tremendously. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
im not gonna go crying to a mod over this i was merely stating my opinion that this thread was unnessasary. lick your balls eh? thats really offensive and hostile. And look... its on xlt! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
OK....opinion heard and respected. I have freedom of speech and I shouldn't have to tiptoe around those (like yourself) who don't agree with my choice of posts. If I would have known that these discussions were so common I would have done a search. Sorry. |

Backtracking and searing sarcasm the likes the world has never seen. It's catharsis. |

wow ignoring the children: AFX got squarepusher into drum'nbass, jenkinson said so in an interview, then Mike P followed afterwards. You cant say who influenced who going by album dates, those RDJ songs we're floating around years before they we're sold in stores. Bilious Paths has the snares influence on 1 or 2 songs, but sounds NOTHING like Snares. Thats the great thing about Mike P, you can hear the influences but its always his own unique personal style through and through. How can anyone bash SAW1 so badly? At the time of its release it was the most fresh, new, innovative music of its time, and RDJ made it while the rest of you we're playing Nintendo and trying to find porn in your Dad's bedroom. |

catharsis grow the fuck up. I agree with Zeus, some kids are alwayts bitching and whining about the other site (watmm if youre on xltronic, or xltronic if youre on watmm). We've established there is a difference, but if you don't like them over there, go and tell them, don't bitch about them on here. And I use both boards, liek Zeus, so I'm fairly impartial. Fucking whiners. |

What's going on here? Slagging off watmm? We'll have none of that. Think yourselves lucky that there's even one board where like-minded people can gather... that there's two and more is a godsend, so stop twining. Slagging off xltronic? We'll have none of that, a) cos I said so, and b) cos I said so, so ner. Licking of balls? We'll have none of that unless they're mine and you're an exceptionally attractive young lady. Though not too young lest it be thought illegal. Actually not necessarily atractive either. As long as there's femininity and a pulse I don't mind. er... |

So I guess the answer to my original question is "yes" and "no" depending on the experiences of the respondents. I didn't know that some people were so sensitive about a simple question that wasn't intended to be threatening or offensive. I experienced something unique on watmm messageboards and I just wanted to know if my experience was out of the ordinary. I'm sorry to have I offended anyone - generally I find the people on this board very polite, open-minded, and they have great taste in music. |
