'You could, if you had Richard D. James' notoriety.' what a cunt rdj is. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

Agreed. I used to purchase an RDJ release without hearing any of it because I knew it would be quality...these days I am not too sure. I felt slightly let down by Drukqs, disappointed by 26 mixes and by the sounds of things the situation is getting worse... oh well... |

don't worry, he'll surprise us when you least expect it! |

i think the heavy weights of IDM will go too far up thier own asses... and we will see a new generation of producers emerge. I liked Drukqs... but 26 remixs was kinda boring draft 730 isnt anything new do you know squarepusher was ok, but just more dsp wankery Geogaddi was great... but unless they evolve in thier next record... it will be a shame i dont know... it just seems like the excitement isnt in the big boys anymore |

talk about aphex and merzbow live was bollocks though wsn't it - he preforms with russell haswell though doesn't he |

|
|
it astounds me to this day how people can slag 26 mixes... it shouldn't have been new to anyone!!!!! a bunch of remixes from the mid-90s is hardly indicative of his current direction. anyway, i'll prolly pass on this EP now. thanks spikee. |
||||||||

I listened to it... OK, I will definitely not bother. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
No one has really discussed the main track here. OK it's a remix, -but is it a good track or what? What kind of beats are on it? Is it all dancehall'd up? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the clip i just listened to sounds like drukqs programming w/ the a capella from the bug track.. i liked it but it's not essential. i'm not a record collector, just a music fan. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I didn't mean I was disappointed with the tracks, there are some that I really like. I meant it felt like a lazy release...he could have included a few more new remixes on there and got rid of some of the shitter stuff like the DMX Crew remix. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the dmx crew one is one of the best imo - with all this stuff about smojphace- only 1 of yos has heard it and you've already decided you don't like it what a bunch of ignorant sheep - can't you make up your own minds ? i'm sure it's a bit more than just some old noise and i heard one of the rephlex lot dj the bug remix track and it's unbelivabley good and aggro |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
just listened to the clip... I want to hear more. |
||||||||
|
|

I haven't decided one way or the other yet, but I am going to download it before I part with my cash. |

agreed, i was gutted when the warp-promised "30+ tracks" became 26, but think about it logistically: there wasn't really enough room on two discs for over 30 tracks. but more importantly, some artists wouldn't clear the tracks (ie: beck, who's mad at richard for not doing a charity show he organized) or couldn't find the masters. i would've liked to have heard this mysterious lemonheads "remix" (some old track he gave them) and the remix he supposedly did for craig david, but maybe richard lost them. you know how unorganized he is: spilling orange juice on his master tapes, picking the first 2 songs on a tape for the bonus tracks on the reissued SOSW, etc. anyway, besides the above problems, if anyone is to be blamed for the "lazy" idea--which just got me 26 remixes ranging from "ok" to "amazing" in my collection for under $17--it should be warp, not richard. warp were the ones who made richard release a DOUBLE album (drukqs) and i'm sure this was their idea too. richard seems pretty content releasing very little (MEN1, MEN2) or nothing at all. |

astrid-gil-botn ...you haven't heard them then? |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
i'm saying i'll download it instead of buy it. as usual, if i really enjoy the download, i'll buy it. if it had received better reviews (2 ppl on this thread have it) i might've bought it w/o hearing it first. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
from what i know it was released cos some other company was going to release a comp without asking afx's permission -so warp took it upon themselves to do it - i think it's fucking good value for money - and it's never been marketed as a new album . you lot really are a bunch of pedantic moaners sometimes, christ ! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yea prolly peace frog (a la Plaid). agreed, it's a great value for the money and as i say everytime i talk about this collection, this is not new material. you're the pedantic moaner though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what the other tracks ? no? that's why i'm keeping an open mind and not slagging the thing off before i've even heard them. cos that's pathetic quite frankly. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It's not often a really agree with you, but on this occassion I agree 100% :P |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
to licence tracks you need permission from the record company or the artist who did the remix to get them - if yu can't you simply can't get them - so that's why the 26 mixes is slightly incomplete I reckon - as for the craig david thig that was so clearly another bullshit rumour i'm suprised you fell for it |
||||||||
|
|

|

Titsworth: Beck wanted to release the remix to WARP, but Beck's label, not Beck wouldn't do it. The orange juice thing is a falsehood as well. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well there you go - my intuition was correct . |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes. very good. to be open minded is a very worthy quality. i have heard the smojface (whatever it's called) ep. i therefore reserve the right to 'slag it off' until my face turns blue and explodes. its shit. buy it if want you invaluable mugs. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Astrid's right as well - WARP had to literally rush to get 26 mixes out the door as another label was trying to do a compilation of his remixes. |
||||||||
|
|

"you may be right but you may be wrong!" -chuck berry asthole: the craig david remix prolly doesn't exist, hence i wrote "supposedly". worth mentioning though! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no need to be offensive - just because you are totally wrong ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'm just kidding you of course! i may very easily be wrong though it's not too common! |
||||||||
|

I will wait to have it at home |

I'm right as I was told this by several reliable, independent sources - this isn't Chinese whispers. What most fans don't realize is a lot of what gets passed around gets distorted, or journos fabricate bits or take what Richard says jokingly as the god's honest truth. Richard is also very, very good at marketing himself/his music, and building up a whole mythos around your persona and winding the fans up with fantastic stories makes them hungry for more. It's all part of the Aphex Package, and why he's been more financially successful than his contemporaries who may produce better music. |

i don;t think it's part of the aphex package really - i think it's actually just the media tend to write about how mad he is and how he's got a tank etc . it's cos they can only ordinarily handle rock music so they can't cope with people like him .. also i can only think of autechre who make totally different music for different reasons and maybe luke vibert and squarepusher who are in the same league as the aphex twin - they're pretty succesful as well i imagine |

i got it too, found it in a store in amsterdam funny the whole cd is black, like twoism :) i agree that merzbow makes better noise, this seems so forced or something.. i don't know anyway, it's on the shelf, that was what it was all about :) and i got a free 3-track 'there there' vinyl today when i picked up HTTT friday 13th ain't that bad i guess :) |

I still haven't heard it or looked for it, and I'm not particularly curious. All the Merzbow comparisons have me too lazy to bother... I hate the 'Bow! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
actually I like it. the bug remix takes a track that is excellent to as good as, yet nice. the noise tracks complement satansornade nicely, thou I have to admit i was a bit let down (mainly through listening to it first thing this morning) but at the same time it is definately nice to have, even if only for the main track.. did anyone get an APC ghostlawns promo with it? I like that more than the AFX disc atm ps, the bug single is very good and definately worth checking out.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i agree though i find merzbow interesting, it is hardly pleasant listening for my ears. i'll download it too. if it rocks arse i will buy it on vinyl. |
||||||||
|

heh i got it just before leaving for work, so i was kinda rushed to listen to it while getting dressed. already listened once, now i'm on kpta2 for the second time. first listen - a bit dissappointed, even the bug remix didn't strike my fancy, and kpta1 & 2 needed to be analyzed second listen - enjoying the bug track, 1 & 2 are better third listen through headphones - enjoying much more, but definately not my fav. afx. the noise is interesting, and i enjoy hearing interesting tracks. for me, it doesn't necessarily need to be music, but rather something that can hold my attention. these tracks do that, but it's not something i'll be listening to very often. i bought the vinyl b/c i LOVE vinyl. but if you're skeptical, d/l from soulseek first! |
