shitty. If you're into collecting afx releases for the sake of collecting them, then get this release. If you are expecting something new and innovative then steer clear. The remix is just drill 'n bass with annoying vocals. It doesn't even compare to the drill 'n bass on drukqs which are 10 times better. The last 2 noise tracks are shit. If you like good noise then stick with Merzbow. |

thanks. ive read that some are getting it already from warp *i really wanna hear it and make my own decision, all afx is great, just different tunes for different times i used to be turned off by the the first men01 because its kinda cheesy, now ive been listening to all 3 songs most of the day |

you`ll be trully dissapointed . ◘ |

i went to the store to buy it but they said it was sold out.....so i guess i'll buy it on ebay, months from now... A lot of things reveiwed as good on this board are things that turn out to be terrible, so keep those bad smoj reveiws comin', i cant wait to hear it! |
||||||||
|

let people make there own choices dammit, just cos one person thinks it sounds like a stylus being dragged over a turd doesnt mean other people wont like it |
||||||||
|

|
|
MEN1 was a fantastic dancefloor smasher. MEN2 doesn't even compare :( |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
"A lot of things reveiwed as good on this board are things that turn out to be terrible" really? any examples? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i agree that men1 is better than men2, but i still think men2 is worth it for the gabbercore ragga stylings of track one, lets face it, it's a marmite release |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, i actually dont dislike that bug remix, but its not that great either (better than lots of other music tho!) those 2 noise tracks are just like that bonus high frequency sound (not much better) which i never listen :) but yeah could be someone actaully likes this release... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what is "a marmite" ? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
marmite is stuff you spread on bread to eat, some people think it's disgusting, some people love it, must be a uk product, but you get the idea |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I am really dissapointed with the fact that I ordered it before release time...and today they havent even shipped it |
||||||||
|

|
thanks! nacmat...did you get it from soulseek yet? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so it was released june 16,june 17th in the states? correct?/incorrect? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, i finally heard it and "eh" is my official review. the remix is just "ok" nothing smashing. i kinda like the original better. kinda. the "noise" tracks are dumb. not exciting. wankery. throw away. not good by any standard. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i reckon there is much more to the remix than on a few listens - it's pretty imaginativley crafted - you miss it on the first few listns |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, im starting to feel it a bit more now. i like the part around 3:03 where the beat drops and then comes back in, the bass really takes over. |
||||||||
|

i've finally listened to this ep it deffinately has the sound of an ep; music that just doesn't really belong on an album. i like the drill n bass track, its pretty crazy and the vocal effects are cool but my jaw didn't drop or anything. However, i don't think RDJ's intention was to break much new ground with this anyway. again, it's just an e.p. one thing i don't get is all the comparisons to merzbow. just because these afx tracks are noise doesn't mean they are anything like merzbow (at least not what i have heard of merzbow) All the merzbow i have heard is clearly analog while this is obviously very digital. the noises are crisper, sharper and the effects are more precise. i'm not saying i like these tracks much. its hard for me to form an opinion as i've never really been a fan of straight noise but, i don't think they sound anything like merzbow. infact i really do hear the humor of aphex twin in them. i.e. it sounds like something he would do. again, not cheering for them just sayin... |

it's being sold on mns 7 something dollars i believe |
||||||||
|
|

|
the ep is stinking pile of dog nuts |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I saw in the release .nfo file that came with it that it was release by WARP - is this perhaps his infamous "last record" for them? maybe he's just going out with a...well not a bang, thats for sure - more like a digital fart. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

No it was released on MEN, a sub label of Rephlex... I wish people would stop moaning about it, it's not that bad. If you don't like something you don't need to bitch on about it day after day, especially over a cheap EP. |
||||||||

i'm happy that AFX fans can say, with confidence that 'smojphace' is shit. i haven't listened to it yet and thanks for everyone's honesty, i'm NOT going to buy it. i will download it though. that's how much i'm disrespectin' this release!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's handsdown the worst thing richards ever done by far... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
smojphace kicks ass, its a nice little ep. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
smojphace is basically like the snares man 7" clearance bin but less clever |
||||||||

Tolstoyed: I'm glad you got your old dog avatar back. Maybe you didn't even change it, it might be my imagination. Ah well. (off topic: bought classics a while ago. i know it's one of your favourites. i think it's awesome also. why don't people appreciate this album??) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
bad recording, glitchy, even the well recorded songs seem repetitive. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
No! Classics is the album stereos were made to play. And tell me...what is a similar album to Classics that is not of Aphex Twin? Well? No, that's right - you can't tell me. There isn't one. |
||||||||
|

|
when i go home tonight ill listen to classics this weekend for ya, there is a record show in omaha, 45 min away, ill listen to it a few times. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ok. it's just so...so...unique. It show the roots of the man. I just like it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no no, i did change it... people were bitching about how i dont fit with erykah pic so i changed it back to my dog one...everything for popularity :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's not out here either..and it sucks. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i agree, as an afx historical record, classics is, well, bitchen. but i also agree that it is a bit repetative. i think the smojphace bug remix thing is at least as good as some stuff on classics. but shit, there are some fucking great tracks on classics. like polynomial C, good gawd 'yall! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i kinda like the "smojphace" ep, it's like RDJ saying "Fuck you", "like it". |
