It was a surprise to me to find this site still "up and running". Anyone remember this? I don't. Is your name on the old community list? Let's discuss this. Don't forget to answer the two questions above! |

Look at all the awards! And these were won in 1999. But yeah, for 1999 (from what I can remember) that site has got a very nice layout, just like this site does. |

typo [in my last post] / correction : I'm not sure they were won in 1999, but they were won before the year 2000. |

Check out this review of an Aphex Twin liveshow in Las Vegas (written by 'Kim'): "at this point i had never seen the cool dancing bears with rdj's face on them, so i didn't know what to think... the three bears came out, and let me tell you, they scared the hell out of me. i certainly didn't expect this. they were dancing around to the music and simulating sex and other silly things. then, a girl dancer came out and she was also simulating sex with the bears, which i found quite amusing. as the girl continues dancing she starts to lift up her skirt and shirt and to my surprise, she wasn't wearing underwear! so she continued to dance bare naked with the bears and eventually a security guard comes out and pulls her off stage, being that it was an all ages show. he gave them a ticket or sitation or something and the guy with the pink bear suit came out in only his pants again and ripped the ticket up, put it in his mouth and spit in out all over the stage." wow! Are all aphex-gigs this good? that seems like a great show! Read full review: |

heh I'm having fun reading through stuff at this old site (when what I ought to do is either go to bed or finnish my essay)... It's funny how things sound different today than before, e.g. when RDJ saids (in this '99 interview) that his last "proper" single will be "Windowlicker", and how he hasn't released anything like it since. |

fun to read this old interview with rdj and richie hawtin "RJ: Yeah, I'm in the studio messing about. I'm gonna release two more albums and that will be that. Sweater: What do you mean? RJ: No more releases. Sweater: You're retiring? RJ: [Laughing] Hardly. I'm just over the whole music business aspect of it. I've made more than enough money. I really enjoyed all of it; meeting so many industry pricks and winding them up has been immensely entertaining, but its gotten old. RH: Tell me about it. After five years in the business, you figure out who's cool and who's not and you meet everyone you want to meet. RJ: It affects the music, too. When I think in terms of singles and albums, I work differently. Like "Come To Daddy." That was something I put together really quickly without even thinking about it. Music like that is such a cop-out. It's too easy. There's no challenge there. That was just me being aggro." |

Hey thats a good read! |

another quote "RH: I heard that you live in an old bank these days. What's that like? RJ: It's great. A really solid structure, as you can imagine. It's in a great area, mainly because everyone else seems to think that it's shit. RH: Why's that? RJ: It's not trendy at all, and it's quite grey and industrial. But I like it that way. No one bothers me, and I get left alone. It's a challenge every time I go outside. This guy tried to kill me a few weeks ago for looking at him. RH: What? RJ: I was eating dinner at this restaurant and I was sitting by the window. This guy walks up to the window and just stares at me. I was already in a pissy mood, so I just stared right back at him. The longer I stared back, the madder he got until he just started pounding on the glass. Then he shattered the window. RH: So what happened next? RJ: Security had to come and haul the guy off. I could've averted the whole thing by just looking away, but it was just like fuck him, you know?" |

PRINCO! I hope you're reading this... I'm not sure this is the track you were talking about the other day (with the "Fuck you and Fuck your brother"-sample), but the track "Who the Fuck are you" by Bass Inc. contains that sample (aswell as other samples). It's included on the compilation tolstoyed made a link to. I actually bought Napalm Rave 4 - years ago. From what I remember it was really bad (it's the only CD I've ever thrown away). But this compilation is quite good (have just begun listening to it). |

A bump for princo (--> read my previous post in this thread) Anyway. Was this server the 1st server to store xlt? When did XLT get it's own server? What server (in order) is the new server going to be? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
xltronic was located on the same shared server as aphextwin.nu for a while -- but only for a few days. about a year ago we got our own server.... and now we're getting a much faster one. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
can we seek refuge there while xltronic is down? |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
no :-D |
