generation"...

The lyrics are quite intelligent:

"Here comes the sound,
Worth a million pounds!"

And:

"I cause a riot on the stage,
Like a lion in a cage!"

Because lions are well known for causing riots in captivity.

in your opinion do you reckon the ratio is like this:

51% squarepusher 49% aphex tiwn

or more like 90% squarepusher???

The sound of the bullets entering Lennon's back have more
musical merit than a Scooter song.

I like it how H.P. Baxxter isn't looking for the
Kraftwerk/Numan android look, but he pulls it off as if he
was born of wires and not woman.

He does a fine job with that pitched "dont fear the reaper"
riff.

aphex better imo
he is the true genius of electronic music

squarepusher is a jazz cliché
too complicated
maybe hes reached a dead end now
the way to tell is in his writing
it's so complicated when it doesnt need to be
i reckon he carries over that pretentiousness to his music

old ceephax is epic win, the most simple stuff with lovely
melodies and strange musical behaviour

kraftwerk had it down good
not too simple not too complicated
good porridge, just right
pure aesthetics
good melodies and harmonies
not really so much fashionable
nobody really come close to it, none of the copies have
captured "the feeling"
but kraftwerk is over now. aint expecting anything new to be
good from them

with aphex twin
maybe his best is yet to come
we'll see
hes like the CAPTAIN EXPLORER of electronic music
like nobody thought america existed
world was flat
then they explored and found it
then aphex twin is the true explorer and the true genius

ye maybe i disagree with squarepusher some other things
his philosophy is more selfish, just believes in teh
individual not the community
seems like he considers the subjective too much and thinks
the objective is a joke
maybe this is wrong i reckon
the reality must take more consideration
and he shuoldnt be a cwnt to his fans inthe club
it just shows the weak points in his character there
shouting and swearing @ his fans
like christian batman bale

hehe who is cwnt to judge? lol bre. it is just subjective
junk transferred to comptuer screen by keyboard. krelm. bre.
s cwnt afe. ruke. krelm krelm krelm

i havnt listened to square pusher in ages. dont get me wrong
ive got fav tracks but somethings not right with toms sound.
i was painting a room with my mate he used to like square
pusher a few years back. then red hot car came on and he
said 'yes nice i havnt heard this in ages'. 2 minutes later
we both kind of turned it off and he said 'its fucking
awful....why?'
i cant stand red hot car just the thought of it playing
right now makes me feel all cack. that took me by surprise.

aphexs sound is warm. ive seriously overplayed all my favs
and they still remain unchallenged by anything ive heard. no
one makes em like wet tip hen ax

It's because you can't comprehend how fucking amazing it
is.

At least they actually release their music.
