------------------------------------------------ I like AUTECHRE, µZIQ, SQUAREPUSHER, BOARDS OF CANADA, etc... very much, but here I'm speaking of a different thing, I'm speaking of a man called Richard D. James who make everything alone without any help, we're speaking of a man who start to write Selected Ambient Works 85-92 when he was 14 years old, we're speaking of man who changed his music in ACID to TECHNO to AMBIENT to CLASSIC MUSIC to DRUM'N'BASS to HARDCORE GABBER to DRILL'N'BASS, etc... and now he's working with high frequency sounds. Everything he do is great... Try to Listen AFX' live to Sonar in Barcellona and you'll know why is so great... everything he does is cool... he could remix a fart and it would be a masterpiece... In music everything Richard touch become gold. ------------------------------------------------ WooƒerAttack |

"he could remix a fart and it would be a masterpiece..." quote of the day. Woofer: i couldn't have said it any better. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i totally agree with everything you said in this topic, he's just amazing... |
||||||||

Pigeon street not cool.... you an old daddy and saying that!!! lol |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I am ONE too.... ;o) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
tell me what makes it cool then? and being an old daddy doesn't mean i have to be sycophantic. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I is feelin that mon... *fake Jamaican accent* Yeah, its not often you can hear of an artist who changes their music style so often and successfully. Not many can argue with Aphex but there is always mixed feelings on Radiohead's Kid A. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
HE IS THE BEST |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Well stated Woofer.... I dont think it could have been said better.... ALL respect to RDJ |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
uh, it's cool because it's short... :-> nah i was kidding, are all old daddy easely irritated? lol ps : what does sycophantic means? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Woofer didnt write it, buts its pretty funny. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
watch it, you lurking troll! i will SQUASH you! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Woofer didnt OPEN this topic?...Hmmmm My bad... |
||||||||
|
|

|
afx xould release more music more often rather than being so precious with it? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
someone should just break into his house, steal his harddrive, and release his tracks into the murky world of MP3 file-sharing |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
When pidgeon street comes on after all the other caustic tracks it is cool. The twin knows how to put things in perspective and not be too trite. Druqkz is a case in point. The sequencing is sublime |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i don't know what he meant either, Iron |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i believe that afx xould write one album a month for the rest of his life! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think it would sound better if italic eyeball just went straight into astroblaster, rather than the 10 second bilge that is pigeon street (i remember when i first downloaded it, i was well looking forward to an afx remix of that classic kid's tV theme - so maybe i am biased in this matter) :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well gary barlow wrote a million love songs! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes and barry manilow sucks, but thats not my point if we all love his music so much why cant he be a bit more generous with how much he releases? Mike paradinas lives in my home town and can be seen walking the streets, why they dont they get together and do a mike and 2 album |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh good I am not going crazy.....=) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
does Mike Paradinas have nice hair now... after he cut of his dorky ponytail? RDJ could be a little smarter about making some money doing what he likes (soundtracks, remixes, singles, releasing unreleased stuff). I just hope he doesnt burn out, and 20 years from now he will just be a fat drunk on the "dole", bragging to other drunks about his "salad days". RDJ seems a bit lazy to me. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
lazy is the good word... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Richard is the master. There is no one better (IMO). I love everything he has released. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm happy to see who we're all agree about Richard D. James. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Pigeon Street is much better than tracks like Bit, Bit4, Aussois, Knievel, Respect List, Bonus High Frequency Sounds, etc... isn't it? But AFX is always AFX... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
RDJ is awesome... all hail the king!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah Woofer, you are in right. AE, BOC, µ-ziq, these guys are cool but AFX is the King, no doubt about this! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
*refuses to place AFX higher than 14th on his favorites list* |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Come on Aperson, have you heard all the AFX-tunes? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think everybody has his personal music taste, but Richar D. James is the best, imo. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I like BoC a bit better, but no doubt RDJ is the king... he's been so influencial, and has done so many styles... BoC are just starting out pretty much, and I love their style so much... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
BoC has pretty much one style and one mood, and they work it for its worth.... RDJ has such timing, such a deft hand at contrasting sonic elements to create emotion, whatever the so called style, it always sounds like him. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes that's true, BoC have stuck with the same style... now mind you, each song is different, but it's a similar style... kind of like with a guitar band... they use the same instruments for each song, but some bands manage to make each song sound different... not that BoC uses the same sounds, but they definately have a style all their own... the thing with BoC I guess is that if you like the style you'd love anything by them, whereas if you hate the style you'd hate them... I for one love their style, and their music... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
he's definitely unlike any other artist out there, makes some pretty damn good music, so he's alright in my book. Long live RDJ! And release some more stuff too. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
He isn't the best at snooker or pole vaulting or mountain climbing or caligraphy or topory. That is me;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

I consider a musician the best only after a deep valuation about what he created in the past and in the present. I listen a lot of different style of music, techno, trip-pop, lounge, industrial, acid, rock, etc... but I never saw a polyedric artist able to surprise me everytime as Richard D. James. It's the only one and it's the best. Anyway my fav album is AMBER by Autechre but I'm not able to say who Autechre are better then AFX only for one album. WooÆ’er |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
woofer, respect list is hardly to be considered a "track" is it! :P anyways, it's hard saying who is best -- because how can a person say "afx is better than bach"... i will say that afx is by far the best electronic artist, for sure |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"afx xould release more music more often rather than being so precious with it?" AGREE AGREE AGREE!!!! Why dont he release a album a month |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
aren't we all being a bit selfish? give the boy a break! quality not quantity! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
he should release every song he ever made... imagine if he did that in one year, we'd be buying albums of his forever... :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i wish so bad that he/someone would release his live stuff - i had them on MP3, and the live versions of bucephalus bouncing ball were awesome! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I dont understand tha much mentioning Bach... ok he is one of the greatest but come on...Mozart, beethoven, chaikoski (I know it is badly spelled) wagner... i like them better... and if you like pioneers then talk about vivaldi who mad one of the biggest steps in music |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think AFX is the best in rhythmic electronic music. Nacmat: No one has ever beaten J.S. Bach at musical counterpoint. The only one that came close was W.A. Mozart and he learned a whole lot from Bach. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
WORD! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
beethoven and chopin are underrated masters of bachian methods - mozart reinvented the opera and did some nice masses - i'm not that keen on him as a whole -- now bach is untouchable in the genius composer stakes - examine some bach fugue sheet music - it could drive a person insane with its eery complexity and juxtaposition - i can trip out listening to a bach fugue... |
