"Yeah, I'm not really so sure about Aphex's new release. Alot of the tracks sound really weak, well most of them actually." "You need to sit down and listen to double disc set as a whole, each song strengthens." "Yeah, never had to do that with any of his other releases." "If he wrote Windowlicker over and over, it would become a bore." "Sure, I agree, but Windowlicker and his other recent releases are reflective of his growth as an artist, which seems to peak with windowlicker. The structural complexities of that ablum seem to be almost entirely lacking from this drukqs crap." "He is moving in new directions." "Which all seem to be derivative, in a half ass manner. The classical piano doesn't have much to it. Ever hear Scriabin?" "Cymbru beats, don't tell me you can possibly dislike that?" "Its decent in the same way Squarepusher's 'go plastic' is. Too much the same way. Wait, maybe I should think Aphex Twin is talented for usng more abstract seeming processing on that track, than maybe what Squarepusher would done. No, that doesn't make sense, I can think that after having seen introductory Electronic Music students create almost identical sounds using GRM plugins in protools." "You're too fucking caught up in the music theory to enjoy the athmosphere." "Yes, that is how Mogwai became one of my favorite groups. Wait, I suppose you're wrong." "If the ablum is lacking anything its because of all of those fucking mp3.com rip-offs who are raping his style with fruityloops." "Some of the music is actually pretty decent." "Sure, but its not Aphex." "No, its not. And?" "..." the two fictional voices travel, from their intellectually stifling location in the United States, where they study electronic music production, to a distant mountain top in Europe. perched ontop of a rocky ledge is none other than Richard D. James. they approach him slowly, so as not to disturb him from his random patch relooper in Max/Msp. they note how he cradles his laptop like a beloved child. aphex twin turns, and wind rushes around the two students. "DRUKQS" shouts Richard. the sound resonates through the valley. "we're sorry we understand now." "i chase sheep around the country side in an armored pursuit vehicle. my parents worked in a mental hospital. i had an interview arranged at a spooky graveyard once, and another time in a helicopter. i used to build my own equipment. one time i didn't both remixing a shitte track, so i gave the courier a dat filled with some unrelated crap." richard falls silent. the two students leave. "we now understand" actually not. quit proclaiming this album to anything its fucking not. you're like a bunch of morons rushing out to buy the latest shitte the Backstreet Boys or Brittney Spears has released. |

'do you like scriabin's music?' 'no, his classical piano music has not much to it. ever heard stravinsky?' 'no, but i love schoenberg's five orchestral pieces.' 'yeah, they are pretty decent. i like his chamber symphony no.2 and pierrot lunaire, too.' eh... |
