is it just me or is Cylob one of the most continually consistently bizarre and unusual electronic musicians making tunes these days? His music has a pop sensibility but it always has very unusual dsp and synthesizer work. At one point in time, somewhere around the Diof 97 era i considered Cylob a follower/imitator of the afx sound, but now to be perfectly honest his latest music sounds more fresh than the most recent output by rdj. Music System Volume 1 & 2, Spider Report and the most recent live set are all excellent albums.

albums? are you joyrex or something
and i think his last great thing was lobster tracks, but i think he's got more shite tracks than good ones, as cylob atleast - the kinesthesia stuff is grand though

lobster tracks is probably my favorite, that one track off it (forgot the name) where the entire melody is derived from the stuttering/re triggering of the snare drum is one of my favorite tracks of all time.
I think his newest is fantastic. You dont like? Yes he does have a lot of miss tracks but his overall sound i find to be more creative and daring than many of his predecessors sound today.

I think you mean "Smash Up The Pram". Cylobotnia is well underrated check it out.

I loved all old Cylob but the latest stuff does seem a bit flat in comparison. Maybe it's like David Bowie and Iggy Pop, where Bowie was so jealous of Iggy that he fed him loads of drugs and kept him locked away so he wouldn't make any more music whilst Bowie stole his act. Perhaps Rich, recognising 'Lobs potential greatness, has him in his basement and says to him "OH yeah, that sounds really good, release that *snigger*" ... whilst feeding him lots of drugs.

yeah, it's that or maybe he just releases records because he's friends with Richard not because his music is particularly good. Which I sometimes think for more rephlex acts.

He should do more "pop" tracks with vocals, 'Living in the 1980s' is brilliant

finally someone praises cms1&2! i dont know where all the hate comes from. Imo cylob surpassed almost everybody on Rephlex long ago. he seems to be the only one concerned about true braindance on the entire label actually. there is nothing cerebral braindancey, or creative about the overwhelming majority of the current rephlex catalog.
That recent live set recording that was posted on xltronic is the only electronic thing i've heard since 'Hello Everything' that has been on constant repeat in my car and at home.

I find a lot of the Rephlex stuff bizarrely uninspiring these days, too. There's bound to be plenty of stuff you don't like on a label, but their recent output just seems to be really lazy, like they're taking the piss out of their poor, helpless record buyers. Oh, life!
