http://www.rephlex.com peace to all the haters on this site, ain't worth saying something unless it's positive |

so we're getting massage-a-rama by the loungejays re-released which isn't overwhelmingly good, but i hope the other stuff is. i'm intruiged to hear it even if it turns out not to be as good as newbuild. |

yep exactly the kind of "everything is soo booring " answer i'd expect from this site which is why even though i really like and enthuse about electronic music i just don't visit here any more it seems that the people that use this site have an extremely negative attitude and don't really like electronic music much planet mu message board used to have this problem and it's got better but the people that use this board are much worse . see ya. |

"ain't worth saying something unless it's positive" - that's not strictly true, now is it? I think people are a bit jaded with current releases, and you can't deny Rephlex has reissued a lot of quite old stuff lately, so it's hard to get enthusiastic, especially about 808 records I listened to the first time they came out. If there was some genuinely thrilling music I think you'd have all sorts of ecstatic posts, as it is, there's not much apart from tired regurgiated ideas and faded facsimilies of past glories. Sorry for not being really enthused about some old reissues and some distinctly dated and ropey sounding dancehall grime. |

but earthleakage it doesn't say anywhere on the site that it's reissues of loungejay or whatever does it? |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|

I think, correct me if I am wrong, the Lounge Jays are mentioned in the article about 808 State, but no, I don't think the are re-releasing that single. |

dog belch i personally think the releases are the best they have been and i wouldn't have heard the 2 3 rereleases they have put out ie newbuild tik and tok and black devil also i'm not sure what dancehall grime is but the bug is pretty fresh and got the accolades too - as did the grime lp which is really fresh to my ears and the more i check out of that stuff the more i like it . I liked pierre bastien and victor gama too - hardly old and tired, that stuff, totally fresh and you really should admit it . you should also admit you never really heard much music like the bug or grime too, especially as you don;t know what it is "dancehall grime" indeed. i think your're probably the jaded one , which record are you actually referring to that you bought the day it came out exactly ? from what i can make out the prebuild stuff hasn't been released before - so again negative assumptions, and if you bought black devil you must be way into your 40's by now . i don;t hear any facimiles of past glories at all - i think alot of idm is definitley going over the same ground and has done for the last few years and the better labels like planet mu warp and rephlex are addressing that, planet mu with it's rereleases of remarc, it's broad look at idm which includes alot of styles and warp with it's taking on of hip hop and post rock . rather than releasing stuff that sounds a bit like aphex autechre or squarepusher, or venetian snares but with none of the emotion, melody or ear for atmosphere, cos that's all i'm hearing from alot of so called idm today, show offs. and no i'm not astrobotnia /as far as i know that's ovuca - i;m just a punter who used to come here but now rarely does cos of people like dog belch |

it doesn't give a tracklisting for prebuild but it does mention it. either i dreamt that the loungejays track was going to be on it or i read it elsewhere. we'll have to wait and see if it turns up on the release. i was not a fan of the loungejays track but i was a big fan of the gerald stuff, the born in the north 12" with ed barton & chapter & the verse, and thre hot lemonade lp. the other 12" of this era, 'let yourself go' has already been re-released by warp, and excellent track but unfortunately missing the carpenters 'top of the world' sample from the end. perhaps they couldnt get permission for it the reason for the delay of this release so far as i can tell was getting permission from arthur baker for the confusion remix. fuck knows why it takes 6 months for someone to sort something like that out. the black devil and tik & tok releases are great, btw, but i could never get into the victor gama lp, but i really liked the pierre bastien lp, i liked the idea of him making his own orchestra out of mechano, an interesting listen. |

Wooooah wooooah and a side order of "stop right there"!!!! I think you'll find most people here give everything Rephlex release a chance, but if it's not good, or that interesting, you can't blame people for being disappointed. Or do you just want empty, fullsome praise about EVERYTHING? I am glad you are enthused and enjoying the music, as long as it's genuine, but don't get pissed because other people, it might just be me, think the lastest releases are weak. The reissues are interesting, but they're just that, reissues. If you want to know what record I bought when it came out then learn to read an use your eyes to examine the phrase I employed "especially about 808 records I listened to the first time they came out", do you see the little clue I left there. That's right, it was Glen Miller. And what is this "you should also admit you never really heard much music like the bug or grime too, especially as you don;t know what it is "dancehall grime" indeed. " - Have I got the fucking label wrong, is it actually Mashup Ragga, or Ardkore Grime, or 2-Step Jungle, or DnB breakzzz, whatever you call it is is very fucking dated and uninteresting. I don't see how it's different from a lot of other music in (I'm not even going to try and second guess what you've decided to call it) genre of music. I tried to be nice to you but now I hope you, being a presumptuous fool, fuck off and post your unloved bilge on the planet mu board. |

i like what i've heard of the cylob music system releases. hope to be receiving them soon in the mail. overall i'd say rephlex is pretty weak. but that's just my opinion. they are a pretty roots label. when it comes down to it astrid, it's all opinions. |
||||||||

He's allways the same. He gets paid to promote rephlexes things. I loved Tik Tok for retro reasons but some of the new things are too living in the past for me. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
aye i remember hearing that. so it's true he works for rephlex? |
||||||||
|

what's this then, rephlex innit? |

astrid cannot see clearly due to his job. i think thats all. it's funny how he defends the boring pile of shit rephlex has become. |

I must say that i admire these following quotes from Dog Belch which were directed at Grant. Wooooah wooooah and a side order of "stop right there"!!!! I think you'll find most people here give everything Rephlex release a chance, but if it's not good, or that interesting, you can't blame people for being disappointed. Or do you just want empty, fullsome praise about EVERYTHING? I will chime in with i whloleheartedly agree with this. Perhaps they have recieved too much empty praise? Followed up with: Have I got the fucking label wrong, is it actually Mashup Ragga, or Ardkore Grime, or 2-Step Jungle, or DnB breakzzz, whatever you call it is is very fucking dated and uninteresting. Once again i find myself in agreement with dog. |

coincidentally, the only folks who do not share these views seem to work for this very label. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
So it seems. I think they are losing their touch. Just my opinion though. As their years increase, their taste in music changes. As it does for everyone. I believe they are unable to recognize quality currently and settle for quanity (see Amen Andrews 5 volume snooze fest) Again just an opinion |

I wrote a reall long response but it rambled. I don't know anymore, the thing is I am out of touch so I shouldn't try to judge Rephlex's current releases. I like inventive, electronic music I can listen to at home, they used to provide that, and now they don't. I think they are serving someone else now... who knows what the "vibe" is in the east london club scene, what the cutting edge underground graphic designers are listeing to, I am sure there all fucking lapping up vintage acid rereleases, course they would, the fucking witless cunts. Or this dark edgy ragga grime malarky. It smacks to me of pandering to fucking bald headed multimedia artists living "on the edge" in Hackney. Well they're fucking welcome to it. FUCK YOU ALL! |

I just thought of something. I dont think its quite fair to judge us for having negitive opinions about the "rehashes" as they have been refered to as. The same fanbase that is being addressed here in this thread became fans through music like Aphex. This was an aphextwin.nu message board. With that in mind, I think it is quite fair for people to be disappointed with Black Devil as it isn't really all that compairable with aphex style music. Notice how people are buzzing over the analord series. We are all fans of aphex and that is what brought us here. I dont think it is fair at all to judge us for not necessarly liking Tik Tok (although i did find it interesting) I think it would be nice if astrid-gil-botn would still come and inform us of future releases instead of acting boarderline childish about this whole situation. |
