i used to be into his music quite a lot for many years, got many of his releases. but now, i think i got tired of his stuff. i never listen to 'icbyd' nor 'saw2' anymore. 'drukqs' wasnt fresh when it came out, but i liked it pretty much. it's the only one i listen to now and then. i bought '26 mixes for cash', but only listened to it twice and found it to be pretty average. cant get into it at all. 'smojphace' is coming out and im not interested at all. anyone had the same experience? help me! i got into autechre at the same time, but i still listen to everything they made quite often. |

just listen to other stuff for a while.. |

It might just be a phase but i think your taste has changed a little. |

Maybe you never really liked him? |

meh. i do this every once in awhile. although, strangely, aphex has been a constant ever since i started listening to his music six or so years ago. so i'm not sure what to tell you. try not listening to his music at all for six months, then come back to it. worked with radiohead for me and completely revitalized my interest in that band. |

you sir, need to listen to Nannou again... and you'll know... this artist does not fuck around... how can you get sick and just stop listening to this music? eventually, you'll regret putting RDJ's music a stop... and you'll soon be like "god damn, i am missing a whole fuck load of good music impulsing my ears!" hah! right! just listen, and don't get tired of any of it! |

veriety veriety veriety. if i listened to afx or ae everyday (as some of you do) id hate them too. its called "burnout", go listen to some rock or some oldies for a week or two. |

Bah, don't worry about it, Cort. As the others say, you'll get back around to him when the right time gets here. Until then, yeah, try a new artist or band. Like Ozric Tentacles! |

Hm... now that i think of it, it's been a long time since i listened to any aphex myself. But i don't think i'm tired of it... if i would put on one of his cd's on, i'm sure i would enjoy it just as much as i always have. I'll try it today :-) I must say though, that i too am not very excited about the smojphace-ep. I hope i'll be proven wrong and pleasantly surprised when i finally hear it... but the prospect of listening to one remix and two tracks with just noise doesn't get me very excited... but still... it is aphex twin.. so i haven't lost all hope yet :-) |
||||||||

| |||||||||
|

Yeah, I agree... Didn't buy 26 mixes cause it seemed pointless and just one to miss. I want a new album of some new Aphex tracks. Until then, he can piss off. Uness he re-releases all the rare vinyls :) |

whoops! way too much bold there! sorry!! :s |

you know the remix is gonna be the shit, and as for the noise tracks, they have been sometimes described as melodic/percussive, so... =) as for being tired of afx, only you can solve the problem, or your taste... |

"Didn't buy 26 mixes cause it seemed pointless and just one to miss." Actually 26 mixes was alright... you're missing alot of beautiful music :-) Maybe not as strong as a 'proper' afx-album, but still very nice! It's like icbyd's little brother :-p 2 remixes by afx is also one of my favourite afx-releases... actually. I think the reason i'm not excited about this one is that i really don't like what i've heard from 'the bug' on the rephlex-site. "I want a new album of some new Aphex tracks." Now that would get me excited :-) " they have been sometimes described as melodic/percussive, so... =)" Oh? Really? :-D That sounds alot better than just noise... i usually love richard's melodies... I'm not tired of afx. I've just bought alot of cd's in the last months... which is probably why i've listened to him less often. |

I'm always finding that when you peer through your collection, one catches your eye that hasn't been listened to in a while... Usually turns out to be great! :) |

right now i'm listening to this Ozric Tentacles CD i imported over here. I'd forgotten it for a while -- it's damn good stuff. |
||||||||
|

I get sick of Aphex aswell. And his 26 mixes ain`t that amazing. But the guy is still great. I'm exploring other music right now. It's like Floyd. I adore them, but don't listen to them much now. But I know I will eventually and it'll sound fresh and exciting! |

26 mixes for cash is great, its a good purchase especially if you like his old stuff |

I have nothing new to say but still, this can work a a summary: 1. change for a while, variety is what makes me love music (not only variety in idm but in all styles and decades) 2. I understand your lack of trust towards the new ep, as everybody is talking shit about it... but wait and judge yourself. 3. I am sure we are very near to a new proper release by him... a new album... I am quite sure... its about time you know 4. aphex has done tones of diferent music, i mean you can find variety even among his releases... so try stuff that you have always had on second place... that works for me... 5. its not strange that you get tired of one artist or style of music for a while, it happens to me sometimes... from time to time I need to listen to orbital for weeks and after that I dont play an orbital album in months 6. I am not gonna disccuss about this, but its obvious you may be passing an aphex crisis, I mean, icbyd and saw II are genious and fit in many moments... drukqs is no less genious and 26 mixes is nice to listen to... very ambient, but also hard old school sometimes and even pop... its like a journy through last 10 years in electronica history 7. its not bad to have a crisis, go and listen to whatever you like |

you are full with good advices |

I used to religiously buy each aphex release - I couldn't even be bother to buy 26 mixes for cash tho. I'll probably buy smojphace tho |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, I'm in the same boat... everything but SAW85-92 is boring the hell out of me! |
||||||||
|
|

|

thanks for all the comments. must be a phase i guess, a long one. i just miss being excited about listening to his music. maybe it's because after a while, i start to listen less to his music, and when new material comes out, i like it a lot and it gets me back into aphex-mode. but since i didnt enjoy 26 mixes for cash, it would explain why im just a little bored by his music at the moment... |

i'm still wondering what was ''fresh'' before druqks... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
maybe you're just bored cause he sucks!!! ;) nah, he doesn't suck... I'm just sick of him... I used to love The RDJ Album, and now I can't even listen to it... it sounds so cheap! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
if you are bored of what you have, buy something else! every release is different you may find something you will like more....and funkmaster, im getting the impression your bored with him because youve heard something in the same style but better....care to enlighten me? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Bah, you'll be listening to him again after a few weeks break. I haven't listened to him in ages, but not because I'm bored of him... I just have too much music to listen to and too little time. I've never felt ''bored'' of an Aphex album... or ANYTHING, really! I just take prolonged breaks and I can listen to almost ANYTHING from my past, be it Metallica or Weird Al, and entertained. 2 decades of Sgt. Pepper and I'm only JUST starting to realize how remarkably brilliant Fixing a Hole is after thinking it was the weak link all this time. |
