"laughable butane bobby on 18:19 01/29/2002 a lot of people in the so-called 'idm' (stupid label) genre, are just like rock fans, people tend to want to hear the same thing over and over. i've read that people say that Amber was the greatest album ever, but that Confield is total shit. Or that Alberto balsalm was the greatest fucking track ever while Ventolin and Aphex Airlines were the worst shit ever, like Richard would RDJ even release such total shit. To me, all these tracks seem to fit the character of the artists, and Aphex and Autechre and squarepusher would seem incomplete without hearing all their different sides. what i find so very odd is that people like to brag and label themselves, that they like non-mainstream experimental music, and bash "commercial" acts as boring and sell-outs, but then get disturbed when Autechre and Aphex try something different, like it is too experimental or dismiss it after one listen as total shit. if you claim to love these artists, at least try to understand what they are trying to do, and face up to the unpleasant reality that the world does revolve around your ego." i had to do this.......... peeps suck----its just music, who cares if it souds like this or that or this or that. catagories are just a game that humans play selling out means more peeps get to lisen to the music-thats good staying underground means the music is just amonst the friends-thats good moral of the story..its only music, the best thing in the world... |

I guess so, but there is a fine line between bashing an artists' work due to its over-experimentation or whatever, and intelligently criticizing a track due to its flaws. I mean, I love the Simpsons, so I can't say "Wow, that episode sucked" without watching it 3 times to understand what the writers are trying to do? B.S. I do give everything RDJ puts out a chance, but have you listened to Aphex Airlines more than once? It's tough to do, and there's nothing that deep to delve in there. It doesn't really bother me that he released it, I just think its garbage, and would not be impressed even if it was made by an mp3.com artist. Its because we love RDJ and other artists, that we have to criticize the crap they put out. If we had to have unconditional love and pretend we love every aspect of RDJ's music from Ventolin to GAK (which granted, some of us do), it would be just as pretentious and false as it is to criticize a work that you haven't given the proper time or attention to. You're right, its just music, but RDJ (usually) makes it something much much more. -x |
