...so, you may not like his new stuff...or maybe it is not quite what you were expecting...but still he has in the past released awe inspiring stuff, he still has his moments. I haven't heard this new track yet, I am waiting for this one to hear the CD when it is out...the problem with being a pioneer in most peoples eyes is that when innovation begins to slow down people stop appreciating you for what you have acheived. |

Yeah he's great and everything, but I'm finding that I can only listen to one or two of his tracks in a row and I have to be in the right mood. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah! Leave him alone! |
||||||||
|

I have listened to everything he has done to death, and with a music scene as rich as electronic music is, with new stuff always available, I don't listen to him that often any more myself. But every so often I will put a track on and the feeling is unbelievable. |

who heres badmouthed richard? APOLOGIZE !!! |

i concur. rich has contributed much to his genre of music, and just because he makes a release you don't enjoy should mean nothing - almost EVERY musician has put out something subpar at one point or another. not everyone can please you all the time. rich has contributed much to his genre, and i think more people need to appreciate that. aphex, i FUCKING love you. |

I just never heard what the big deal was. and I will keep putting him down (which I don't think I have been doing, btw) if I want to. now grab a tissue and dry off your tears.. |

He's probably going to go down as one of the most important artists of our generation... He's got that REAL musical prodigy thing about him - Very rare. I know it sounds like I've got my toungue firmly up RJ's arse and I should be ashamed - But I honestly can't think of anyone who's produced work as utterly original or musical as that man. Maybe Brian Dougans is in the same league of genius, he was also writing music far ahead of his time in the 80's too. |

if people don't like it they can go ahead and say that I don't think anyone in their right mind would say that he hasn't been important to electronic music. (double negative) |
||||||||
|
|

^foreal. I think a lot of his new stuff is rubbish and his attitude (or how he lets himself be percieved) doesn't help, but no one in their right mind is gonna say he hasn't been important to electronic music. and he HAS made a lot of brilliant music |

brian eno>>>>>>>than afx but afx, one true innovator, ill give him that... |
||||||||

|

Really? I've actually never found a Brian Eno track I really like too much - I always prefered Bill Laswell for that kind of ambient stuff - I'd still rate RJ head and shoulders above all of them though. |

I've not had an ill thought of Richard D. James. |

I think a lot of the bashing is because of people's dissapointment with his last couple of releases. 26 Mixes for Cash was nice but not exactly what people had hoped for when it was first talked about. There were some glaring omissions from that release. Smojphace was a more or less pointless release. A remix that could easily have been put on The Bug Ep or single or whatever and two noise tracks that weren't exactly good examples of the genre. Drukqs was an excellent release in my opinion and I still listen to it regularly. I listen to all my Aphex a lot of the time. I listen to Aphex practically everyday. I love his stuff and he truly is a great musician that pushes the boundaries. But I do feel pissed that he's not releasing anything as good as before. I just feel that he's doing it to piss off fans. |

Ricahrd is a god amongst IDM producers. He has the skills to conquer anytype of genre he wants to. I've been listening to ALOT of Aphex Twin recently. There is no denying that he is brilliant. Has anyone ever thought that the noise tracks could have been inspired from his tour with Merzbrow and Satanstornade. Yeah maybe it's not what we expected but every artist has had his dodgy moment. I thinmk these noise tracks are sincere. So just wait people, just wait. |

i think that what makes his stuff so good, that he is so diverse and i don't think i'd call a dodgy moment, it may not be every ones cuppa tea, but he experiments and learns and moves forward and in my opinion any artist should experiment and push boundaries, its all part of the process of creating yr art. |

The problem is the people on this board, anything they consider to be slightly iffy and they go into hysterics, christ it's just music for fuck's sake, get off his back. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
everyone is entitled to their own opinion and i think that becuase his music is so diverse some of it just isn't going to appeal to some people. |

my thoughts: smojphace = shit richard d. james = fuckin' brilliant genius, best electronic artist of all times |

RDJ is idm, he is ambient, he is drum'n'bass, he is drill'n'bass, he is piano, he is techno, he is the scary guy with the evil grin who drives a tank, he is the cool guy who doesn't care and takes it easy not considering his job as work and releasing just what he wants, he is the windowlicker pimp, he is the lazy and neglected guy who never knows what day it is and forgot an mp3 player on a plane with loads of untitled tracks, he is the prankster who throws water baloons on ravers, he is the everything (or almost : ) ). Murray > lol... good caption ^^ ecnadniarb > which "new track" are you talking about? one in Smojphace? |

No the new one on the reflexations CD that people are talking about :D |

my thoughts: ''smojphace = shit richard d. james = fuckin' brilliant genius, best electronic artist of all times ''' My thoughts are a carbon copy of Woofer's. The Aphex Twins have that special something that Autechre will never have. An intangible. The Beatles had it, Kubrick had it, and by fucking golly, Richard D. James has it. |

smojphace = NOT shit |

I agree completely with what you've said. I don't think we've seen the last of his genius yet... even if he continues to release "average" music for a couple of years, he'll pull another windowlicker/drukqs/ICBYD out of the bag at some stage. |
||||||||
|

"bashing richard"... so that's what the cool kids are calling it nowadays? i'm quite fond of bashing richard actually, and i can't see myself stopping anytime soon. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i wouldnt call death on him cos he released on record you don't particulary enjoy - it 's a good record imo - the noise tracks are good as well but don't diss it cos you didn't enjoy it cos it's only a lo-profile single - no press or anything |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
if i had titties and a vagina, i would stalk richard day & night. |
||||||||

|
|
kid 606 .... cant go wrong there... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
heck, i'll stalk him anyway. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

haha word to that. :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what does "word." mean? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Word is ghetto speak meaning "I agree totally with what you just said" |
||||||||
