Is now available for order - shipping January 4th. Head on over to http://records.watmm.com/index.php?/orders/ for full details. Thanks to everyone who patiently waited for this, and for all the support in getting the compilation out. My apologies for the spam-ish message, but since this is about good electronic music, it doesn't matter what forum or site it appears on, eh? Cheers and Happy New Year, Joyrex |

I expected such a reply from you - if you honestly think that pirating a small release such as this is a good thing, then there's no hope for you, and you're only hurting the artists trying to establish themselves. |

I was fucking about...chill homie. Are there samples anywhere before I set about handing you the cash? |
||||||||
|

Very slick |

checking now |

|
|
the 1st mp3 cannot be found. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
listened to all the samples (well.. except the 1st one, obviously). File Under: Generic IDM. nr. 17 being the obligatory and equally shameless BoC-ripoff. in short - not my cup of tea. |

Flashbulb : Link not working. Beans Haricots : Boring early 90's style Aphex ripoff. Dane Jacobs : Not bad but not feeling it, it lacks energy. Cell : Not a bad mid to late 90's Aphex ripoff. Buz : A worse mid to late 90's Aphex ripoff. Dead Eros : OK, Aphex ripoff, I quite like this one. Electric Flux : Boring BoC ripoff. Greenbank : I quite like this one. Entorwellian : I suppose if you like ambient this is OK. I don't. Kabal : Not enough to comment on. I suppose if a kicking beat came in somewhere it could be good. Rushden : Another early 90's Aphex style track. Synthetrix : I think I'd like the full version. Ampersand Music : Trying to sound like Snares...fails. We Are Legal : More ambient noodling, which sounds effortless. Emily Apple : Fun, but the percussion is too repetative for the style of track. Zmalloc : Another BoC wannabe falls short of the mark. Chaos Machine : And yet another BoC wannabe. I liked this one though. Overall : Bland, forgettable. Not one of the tracks makes me want to buy the album. It would have been good if you had some more energetic tracks in there. Good luck anyway. |

2 more happy customers! :) |

don't get me wrong. I admire Joyrex for doing this...it's good to see. I don't know how the selection process for the album was done but there are a lot of middle of the road generic IDM tracks on there, and I know frm listening to stuff on the EKT board there are people there making awesome tunes. |
||||||||

ill try and buy this somehow |
||||||||
|

you should know, there's a story behind my track. it was made as an april fools gag.. this was before the old tunes tracks, etc, had made their presence known. i managed to fool just about everyone (including members of this board.. there's a thread if you search) into thinking it was a boc track from a tape i bought off ebay.. when i finally revealed that i had actually made the track myself, joyrex offered to put it on the compo. it was fully intended to sound exactly like boc. there's no samples, or anything, though.. made purely in fl4. |

I knew I had heard it before :) It's a good track. |

good packaging. |

Joyrex does have an impressive package. |

i'm just sayin' is all.. |

I appreciate your critique... the page does tell how the tracks were selected (blind vote by the community), and the samples do not do the complete songs justice, IMO. I've fixed the first track (apostrophies got converted into "/" in the filename and at 4AM I somehow missed this :) BTW, this is an actual pressed CD, not a CDR, with professionally printed artwork. Proceeds from this will go into Volume Two, which I cannot wait to hear what everyone submits as so many people (including the artists on this compilation) have grown so much musically. Details about Volume Two are coming soon... I just have to finish a few more sections of WATMM Records before I do that. Plus the rest of WATMM... |

you should talk aphex into 'donating' a song for the vol.2 - that would sure make me buy it. you can set the price as high as 40 quid too. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
higher probably, if it's just one track! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
beak would sound good on volume 2. he posts on watmm right? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, i would need a sample to decide if the price would go higher than that. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Fact: Joyrex has always nice and unusual avatars. I don't like the frame on this one tho. A simple one is nicer. |

You might have been better just selecting the tracks yourself...or choosing two or three people with different tastes to do the selection. I know it has been mentioned before but there is a slight bias on your board towards the Aphex style stuff and on this board slightly more towards Autechre or Glitch style stuff. I just think it would have been good to try and push the envelope a little with the tracks. I suppose the long lead tme between conception and release haven't helped much, but I expect you will have a better time with volume 2. Good luck again. |
||||||||

|
|
i think that's a great cover... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
aha the flashbulb track is an aphex rip off too |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The Flashbulb one is well produced, but yes another Aphex rip off track...sounds really good though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the same thing happened with the Autechre remix thing - weirder, maybe more unorthodox tracks quickly disappear. a recordlabel should release what it deems to be most interesting (seeing as you won't be in it for the money - excepting Rephlex ofcourse) - a recordlabel by vote sounds dodgy. |
||||||||

I like it for what it is - a community based collection of tracks. I'd like to buy it, but would feel better if it was 10.00 dollars instead of 13.00. overall, good talent is there. funny how some of you people are so quick to judge and compare. hehehe. lame, but not surprising. looking forward to hearing the tracks in full length. |

i like your avatar a lot. what is that picture from? |

Don't be a prick. It is a business venture for Joyrex. I, along with other people, aren't going to hand over their hard earned cash for something they don't feel is worth it just because it is their community release. When reviewing/commenting you naturally compare them to the artists they are attempting to immitate as that is the natural benchmark. Plus $13 is fuck all, about £6.50, so what are you moaning about, for a full album, that is fucking cheap. |

how can beak be not on it? |

I'm sorry, I buy a cd for the music on it, not the community behind it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I buy Cd's for drink coasters. Its more of a status symbol than anything else really. |

You're just a spoilsport, mister. |
||||||||
|
|

|

a spoilsport with a Generic IDM-less music collection. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|

The worst kind of spoilsport. |

If you like IDM, you have to like this compliation. No arguing! |
