Aphex Twin vs. Fatboy Slim
 

rob fragilenine from laughable butane bobs house on 2001-05-28 04:16 [#00007342]



I know it's an unfair battle, but I'd like everyone's view
on what would happen if Aphex Twin had a musical 'fight'...
come on wizards teeth, make me laugh...

No comparison at all. Fatboy slim is as mainstream now as
Bonjovi or Moby, its frat music now, cock-rock we call it,
just very very weak stuff. I pray to the powers that be that
Mr. James never ever goes mainstream, any artist that ever
does seems to turn to shite shortly after. You would figure
all that money would give people more time to do what they
want, but im telling you, if I ever turn on the radio and
hear "Aphex Twin is Fucking in Heaven" its over, the 7th
seal has been broken and the apocolypse has begun. I'll grab
the first 8 AFX disks, some food and water, a gun and meet
you guys in the hills. Before you know RDJ will be
colaborating with the Fatboy and remixing Robbie Williams
tunes. MY GOD MAN!!!! Then, realizing his inferiority and in
desperation, Mr Slim kills Mr James and replaces him with a
kinder, more Top of the Pops friendlier RJD, bulit in a
clandestine Pop bunker by no other than Maurice Starr, the
same pop-guru that brought you the anti-christ known as New
Kids on the block.BUT IT DOESNT STOP THERE KIDDIES! Fused
into this Robo-AFX is a miniscule sliver of the mainstream
Lucifer Himself.....DICK CLARK!!!! Using his strange
superpowers to defy aging and becoming immortal, Dick Clark
passes his agelessness onto the Robo-AFX with one purpose...
TO KILL ALL INDEPENDANT MUSIC AND THOUGHT... You guys, there
isnt much time left, but we are not too late.. If one of
your mates puts on a Fatboy Slim record at your next
university party, just go ahead and hit him, take the disk
out and smash it, or we will all be eating cold beans in the
Alps listening to SAWII and remembering the good old days...

Aphex twin not only kicks the shit out of fatboyslim - but
adds to the pile by shitting on him afterwards,..

I like fatboyslims music but think that he is becoming too
mainstream,.. but I still like a lot of his older stuff,...

santa cruz, acid 8000, and How Could They Hear Us will
always be personal favourites of mine,.. no matter what
happens

and If aphex twin did become mainstream,.. I pray that it'd
still be inovative electronica and not shitty pop rock


 

Clobe Smith from over here on 2001-05-28 07:53 [#00007353]



in my own amateur / newbie opinion, aphex twin would lay
down a snare drum rush that would annihilate fat boy slim
(but only in my own amateur / newbie opinion).

It's not too unbelievable that Rich might like Fat boy slim.
If he does, he'd probably make cool remixes/collaborations,
if not, he'd pull the first tape out of his pile of junk and
call it "---insert fatboy slim song here--- (Fatboy slim is
a useless peice of crap mix)".

I used to kinda like Fatboy Slim, not at all now.


 

po{e} from the uk on 2001-05-28 19:16 [#00007381]



one phrase sums it up.....

Aphex pisses on fatboy slim from a great height



 

po{e} from the uk on 2001-05-28 19:17 [#00007382]



that evil glare stare thing would freak mr slimout
hehheheheehhe


 

TuffPriat on 2001-05-28 20:50 [#00007393]



Wouldn't it be great if the music that AFX did was provided
not only to a minority, but to the majority, so that
everyone in this world could enjoy real music for a change?
What difference does it make to the sound if many people
have heard it?

Your only tits that want to be first, but you know what?
Your never first and you never will be...


 

po{e} from the uk on 2001-05-29 00:57 [#00007409]



exactly right


 

Leo DeBoe from somewhere in the States. on 2001-05-29 02:21 [#00007421]



They would probably shake hands, have tea, and lay down a
collaboration. Fabtoy Slim uses an Atari for Christs sake.
Good times.


 

wizards teeth from Three inches from a Sausage on 2001-05-29 11:16 [#00007433]



The Day Fat Boy Slim creates something good will be the day
I French Kiss a Horse or a Crab.

I do find that video funny with that funny man doing that
funny dance in a funny building.



 

Glitch from New Zealand on 2001-05-29 11:37 [#00007434]



Christopher Walken likes to dance :)


 

TekN010G from Australia on 2001-05-29 12:32 [#00007437]



please Don't base you're judgement on the popular songs,..
they are the shittest of them all,.. download "acid 8000"
and "How Could They Hear Us" and then make your judgment,..


 

TekN010G from Australia on 2001-05-29 12:34 [#00007438]



oh yeah,.. and WT (french)kissing a horse or a crab is not
very far from the truth either


 

TekN010G from Australia on 2001-05-29 12:44 [#00007439]



oh yeah,.. and just for a laugh,.. I'm going to construct
this so called "musical fight" (if it were possible in real
time)

11:01 RDJ: Starts off with a simple melody ala Alberto
Balsalm

11:02 FS: Brings in a screechy rock/synth Noise

11:03 RDJ: Richie complements this with a tune off his
own,.. the result is beatiful

11:04 FS: Decides to put a breakbeat in (just when things
were getting good)

11:05 RDJ: comesback with a furious snare rush

11:28 FS: Finally finds a pattern in the beat and adds in
more rock/synth noises as well as more pad noises

11:31 RDJ: Mocks Fatboyslim by counter melodising his new
melody and making tones with the high hat to create more
pad/ish noises

11:31 FS: becomes stunned and leaves RDJ to do his thing

The End Result :
An Aphex dominated song with the occasional synth sound
shoved in,..
nobody downloads it because it's too bloody long,.. Except
for the aphex twin freaks who then remove the fatboy samples
with sound editors anyway,..


 

dBomb_Fragilenine from Australia on 2001-05-29 14:27 [#00007449]



how can you like Santa Cruz?????? Just the same riff for
about 2 minutes

anyway, fatboy will damage aphex's ears with loops followed
by flying LP's, but they are blocked by Aphex's intelligent
and unpredictable drums and also some twisted vocal samples

yeh, though, fatboy's old stuff kicks ass, like song for
lindy and everybody needs a 303. Some of his stuff on You've
Come a Long way baby is also quite good.


 

\/\/ooÆ’erAttack!!! from Milan on 2001-05-29 14:32 [#00007450]



09/06/2001 - Fatboy Slim will play in a discotheque here in
Milan.

Naturally, I'll go to take a look, I'm curious to see what
he is able to do.
The problem is that after I read this Topic when I'll see
him I think I'll laugh a lot... Are you Fat Boy Slim? Yes?
Ahahahahahaha...

I think Fat Boy Slim compared to Aphex Twin is only a "Funny
Little Man".

What "truth" is French Kissing a Horse / Crab not very Far
from.

Does anyone like mouse on mars ?

I enjoy them more than Aphex Twin.

i have mouse on mars audiotacker...


 

wizards teeth on 2001-05-30 08:58 [#00007532]



po{e},

What you mean, you have mouse on mars audio tracker ?

This sounds quite interesting


 

hevquip from a foxes wooden leg on 2001-05-30 22:05 [#00007546]



it's not audiotracker, it's audiotacker. it's a cd of
theirs.

(it may be called arnold thatcher, but only by a blind
equestrian in slacks of mouse hips, wizards teeth)


 

Ross from can on 2001-05-30 23:57 [#00007571]



obviously fatboy slim would win! By ripping off various
samples from anywhere he can, he would dice and chop aphex
to pieces..while Aphex, the wank! Would use 'random beats'
that would just make him look foolish ;)


 

Ross from can on 2001-05-30 23:58 [#00007572]



wizards- MoM rules...good music, i think they're up there
with afx definitely


 

Quoth from Lincoln on 2001-05-31 02:36 [#00007587]



LOL. You think Fatboy Chunky ass compares to AFX? let's just
put it this way...one person sold his soul while the other
one ate it.


 

TekN010G from Australia on 2001-05-31 04:57 [#00007599]



I know that fatboy barely compares to AFX in talent or
skill,... but I just like his sound,.. and It's not like he
just popped up and tried to be heard,.. he's been in the
music industry for quite some time,.. he just doesn't take
it anywhere near as seriously as most IDM artists do,..
which is why his music is more mainstream,.. because he's
not trying to make a new incredible sound,.. he just out to
make some enjoyable music

And If you think he loops to much,.. take another listen,...
there's often extra stuff added in each bar


 

od from perth on 2001-05-31 07:52 [#00007612]



'sides, who cares is stuff loops anyway?
its not like its criminal or anything.
autechre loops a bit dont they? (i mean im not an autechre
head so i wouldnt really know....)
its,,,yeah its just basic music to dance to...you dont have
to concentrate at all to listen to it and sometimes that
better. hence i always listen to that when im sloshed


 

mu-ziq_fan from Melbourne, Australia on 2001-05-31 10:01 [#00007630]



How can u compare RDJ with Fatboy SLim? They r 2 completely
different artists in opposite musical directions.

RDj has almost attainted God-like status in electronica
music scene. BUT fatboy.. is like another commercial artist.


RDJ Kicks ass! Case closed!


 

Glitch on 2001-05-31 10:41 [#00007634]



Fatboy is Older and Considerably smellier than Dick, and I
have heard that Fatboy writes all his songs sitting on the
toilet playing sink the submarine. and thats just
disturbing. while richard writes all his songs and sleeps
for 2 minutes then wakes up for another day of making tunes.


 

Ross from can on 2001-06-01 00:50 [#00007790]



Guys!! I was joking, hence the ;)
i was actually taking a sarcastic piss on fatboy..the
samples thing, he does that all the time..

while aphex fans are rabid and loyal, they are far
outnumbered by fatboy slim fans. by 2132, when people are
drunkenly swaying to "retrox" in da club, someone will yell
over the dancefloor noise: "HAVE YOU HEARD OF APHEX TWIN"
and then someone else will yell back "NO"
