Just got smoj

Don't read this unless you have smoj and have listened to
it or don't mind loosing the surprise.

I was after the noise tracks most of all however they just
lack the feel of Merzbow tracks so I'm presuming this is
solo afx noise? Also ktpa1 is a remix of a spectrum tape
which is funny I guess but I dunno, I have Timehunter and
I've listened to it a countless amount of times but am I
gonna do the same with this? Merzbow can make noises that
ignite the senses then glitch it at that point for a sensory
overload.

Does Aphex just resent us so much now that he is going to
just constant pisstake? It's 10am and I just got this EP I
feel like a fucking nerd but I'm so disappointed and I
really didn't want to be. I really do feel like shit, a mix
of emotion between being sad enough to come on here at this
time exclusively for this and having the impulse to diss
afx. I've never done that before.

I'm gonna go back to bed I think. Let down to fuck, i got
three copys of this expecting it to be the fucking best
thing ever and hand my friends copys to make them smile too.
fuck.

first track good tho. am i listening to this wrong or
something?

I gave warning so tough nuts. I always look like a twat on
here anyway so whatever. Are you on here like 24/7 or
something?

I'm gonna have a joint and listen to this loud in a loop
until I hear what i'm missing. Then i'm going to go to
Newcastle to smoke more ganja and listen to more music.

I don't like encoding mp3 files of stuff you can buy.
Sorry.

The first track is mint and I love it but do you know how
long I was looking forward to what I thought was gonna be
like AFX vs Merzbow? :/

afx vs merzbow doesnt sound all that great to me in the
first place. i never heard it was like that, anyway. im
still looking forward to it.

hey! sorry if i gave the wrong impression, i appreciated
your review, seriously! :)
i wasn't at all trying to be a dick, and you don't look like
a twat on here, why do you think that?
i never had any problems with you, i even like to hear you
like merzbow and satanstornade etc. too (you even
recommended me that cd in a thread)

there was no bad intent in my reply at all
sorry if i gave that impression

(i think it might have something to do with my avatar, if
there's a smiley or that costanza that surrounded uses
people might interpret replies very different)

Dude, all I have been doing is listening to merzbow. I can't
get over all the sounds you can hear and feel. It does so
much for me and I walk around stoned with it on my mp3
player constantly feeling like I have fucking ascended. I
used to do the same for afx so I was expecting my tits to be
blown off. I think I was just expecting way too much. The
build up in my mind was huge.

Get the single for the A side tho! I got vinyl and CD.

wait wait wait... so the ep is out now? In the stores? Oh my

happen.

I'll have to go buy it.

be blown off unless it's a proper ep or an album

It wasn't so much a review rather a 'quik-bitch' by the
spikee over the noise tracks. I'm having a bit of a headfuck
atm too, life needs shit done to it.

I normally love everything afx does and after all that talk
about merzbow doing stuff with afx live I was expecting more
from the noise tracks.

I'm gonna have to go, I don't think saying all this was such
a good idea now anyway. Bye.

i heard some of his noise stuff at the Bjork concert and
liked most of it, i don't think its right to dismiss it just
cos one person don't like it.

im glad to hear (sorry spikee) that its not just like
merzbow.

im not so very keen on heavy stuff.

if its a bit noisy ambient, then ill be satisfied, because
thats what i expect from waht i heard in here and the
rephresch night.

the hype is way too much anyway for such a short e.p.

lets all keep the head []-)

Picked up the CD for £1.90 in some metal shop in Bristol,
other day like you do.

Is you going to glastonbury.

Wee rule

In a brand-new fashion

Wee rule
Wee papa rule the world the dance
In a brand-new fashion

The bass drum is hitting out a hardcore beat

Don't bother even moving
stay right in your seat.
The captivating Mike Controller evaluating your act

Je suis T.Y. Tim
now how do you like that?
With my ball point pen I write out my show

Drive around in a taxi
every place that I go

Eat neat
got a seat 'cause they know me every town

And my sexy reputation won't let me down.

Wee rule
wee papa rule the dance
...

Def ears on the floor give me what you got

Total S. my control
I'm taking this hot

You say I give away my tales
no grief

Why do you try to run that
he or me?
'Cause one of these days you're hitting hard to shell.
We're gonna take you from here to hell

Outside you'll freeze
you'll remember this heat

You tell those lies and why do you cheat

We just take the best
don't ask a dilemma

This isn't a game
it just gets better.

We show you
yeah
we show you you that it's no good

If you can't take that you can kiss my boat.

Wee rule
wee papa rule the dance
...
I saw you sleeping on a station on a dredgy wood bench

I saw you turned away
embarrassed
started swearing in French

'Fou le Camp' you started saying
but you just didn't know
That I passed exams in French about one year ago.

And this beat
this beat is mine.
This beat
this beat is mine.
We rule the dance hall
we rule the dance hall

We rule the dance hall
we rule the dance hall

We rule the dance hall
we rule the dance hall

We rule the dance hall

You could, if you had Richard D. James' notoriety.

And if Spikee Dragon likes Merzbow and thinks that the noise
tracks are shit, I'll probably just download Smojphace or
whatever it's called...
