"Dear Richie, how are you? Are Lorna and Derek fine? I hope so. Well, I'm writing to you for say what I think about your last ep under alias Smojphace. I was so excited when I knew about this new release with totally new tracks. I remember... the postman gave me the pack, i opened it, i put cd in my stereo... play and go. What I think of it? Well apart track1 this ep is totally a fucking boring noise shit. I laughed. No offense, I'm a simple faithful fan, you're the genius and you like to joke with people, but Richard D. James is much better than Dj Smojphace. Change alias and back to the glorious Polygon or Caustic Window, maybe GAK or Bradley Strider... but please delete DJ SMOJPHACE and give us the best electronic music who all fans are waiting for."
A your humble fan.

smojphace is just the title of the record. AFX is the artist name he uses for it. DJ Smojphace is just for live things

art is such that it doesn't really matter what RDJ's intentions were with this EP, it is its own entity known, and can be placed anywhere the listener chooses to place it...

i`m really pissed with his both last releases. i mean it`s so clear that he`s ripping us off ... "mixes for cash" it`s even in the title .. i got about 25 afx cd`s and never thought a single second of not buying an album. i bought the mixes for the collection and thought i`ll do that with the new ep ... well
i won`t
sorry for bitching around here but i`m really angry; for god`s sake i found the snares man - at least 3 albums a year everyone different and everyone DOPE.
no "i`m the best lala, you are a fan ? fuck off" music

the whole "mixes for cash" complaint is silly... every album pressed by any artist, is on some level for cash... it's a cynical fact that Afx points out... is it ironic? yes... do i think he's some heartless money-grubbing asshole anymore than any other artist who doesn't point that out? no

Dear Richie, how are you? Well, I'm writing to you for say what I think about your last ep under alias Smojphace is wicked. Its a very nice A side indeed and its just perfect for a DJ set, im gonna throw it in my next set this weekend after Dance like you selling snails (the crowd will go hyper for sure, thanx Richard)
I was so excited when I knew about this new release with totally new tracks and im satisifed, I will mix the noise with The Cures - Halo song its will sound fucking sweet.
I remember... the postman gave me the pack, i opened it, i put
cd in my stereo....What I think of it? Well apart track1 this ep is totally a fucking boring noise shit but still worth it because I can use that noise to so much fun like killing my neighbours cat, using it in DJ sets calling up random people playing the noise etc etc etc.
And yes I laughed. No offense, I'm a simple faithful fan, you're the
genius and you like to joke with people but please Richie do NEVER change alias back to that BORING UTTERLY CRAP
Polygon, Caustic Window (wich sounds so dated and boring) and the cheesy shit GAK or
Bradley Strider. Please keep on giving us innovative new improved highly detailed fantastic hyper mental stuff like Drukqs, Run The place remix and AFX 2 mixes, I wouldnt mind some nice ambient tho ;). Keep give
us the best electronic music we all fans needs like u always do.
Archrival your humble fan.

Aphex can do what he wants for cash...don't give a damn. As long as his music is good, I will still wan to listen to him. In this case (Smojphace) though...the music just plain sucks.

I hate people that just say sucks, without substantiating.
Sucks = lack of dynamics + no song structure + desultory music + a seeming desire to slack off and make money while he sits in a bank and buys fuel for his tank.

the fact that you all hate it makes me want it even more.....
he took crappy styles of music like drillnbass and piano solos that in my opinion have only been done badly by everyone else, and he made them great....i cant wait to hear what he did with noise....

do you know why richard is so popular?
1st: 'cos he's an incredible great electronic musician, probably the best
2nd: 'cos he's really able to create controversials and divergences of opinions with music always different and particular.
after last "normal" release as windowlicker ep, 2 remix by afx, drukqs and 26 mixes for cash... what better of an ep of noise music for confuse all fans and magazines? it's all fuel for his fire...

coz every release is different....with almost every artist ive heard, you buy any 2 of their releases and you can tell instantly they are from the same person, but not with rich.....i doubt he will make a noise album, or even do noise ever again, hes always changing....

"Dearest cousin smojphace, how we toil in this bleak Russian winter, like an orphaned child, left wanting the sustainace of a mothers love. I fear the tszar and tszarina have forgotten our plight here in siberia, the place if ice and wind. I fear for Natasha: for her consumption grows stronger just as my heart grows weaker.
My only comfort is to hear that your coachman are dispatching you to see us at once: we can drink vodka and eat beluga, remembering better times of afar. I look forward to your writings, but more so your attendance cousin smojphace. fair thee well,

oops, wrong style of letter: lets put it this way, he probably doesn't really care what we think in a letter he will almost certainly never see: he is making and releasing the music he wants, so your opinions aren't realistically gonna change his thought processes.
b.t.w. if he was a pure money grabber why would he play the "warp 10" concerts for charity or turn down the vast amounts of money madonna was offering him to produce her?

yeah he gave us what we wanted.
in fact id say that this is the first release that lacks in some way.
some thnigs about the remix are just great i must say though:
the voice-tweaked bassline and the other voice mash ups.
i want to have this e.p. but im gonna see what the price says...
in london you could probably get this one cheap pretty soon.
does anyone know how many copies there are?

there is only 1 copy, but it is capable of meiosis, so if left at 27C with a suitable algenate nutrient supplement it will multiply by a factor of 2 every 20 minutes.

its a great few tracks, why do u have to expect a new aphex release to change ur life?! it was only supposed to be a quick release i reckon, hence the april 21st date, not like a major new thing u lot have made it out to be!
and the DJ Smojphace@rephresh blew my fucking mind, better than his set at ATP for sure
