"The IDM end of the electronic music spectrum has a rep for darkness, nihilism, and impenetrable abstraction." From a review of Mouse on Mars' EP compilation |

ehm, hehe, they couldnt come up with a better one? stupid... :) |

I don't see how people could call a lot of rephlex's stuff "dark". It seems quite tongue in cheek to me. Even the evil laughter in Astrobotnia is quite funny... |

Ceri: Can you explain a foreigner what the expression "tounge in cheek" means? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Its fuckin disgusting, best not to ask |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
"tounge in cheek" basically means its just something you can smirk at, something not to be taken seriously. |

Sorry mate, we posted at the same time :p I would have let you carry on your sick joke otherwise |

Some aspect in a concept blowing out of proportions so that it becomes in a special way funny. A bit of self mockery I guess |

||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
rephlex aren't idm from their site i quote it's not "intelligent", it's not "dance", it's not "music" it's so much more... it's "braindance" |

pitchfork sucks big time, i'm surprised anyone here goes there still, i guess its good for a laugh though... haha yes have you read the Royal Astronomy review well if you havent no prob but that just knocked me off my foot |
||||||||

defifnition sucks a lot of dic... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

all this pitchfork sucks buisness - what you really mean is pitchfork contains the perspectives of alot of different writters who's words i may not occasionally agree with ... it's a bit smug to expect to agree with everything everyone who writes for pitchfork says in the hour or so a day they get to knock out a review .. if everyone agreed then life would be fucking dull anyway |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
nope, i've read a few reviews on there its not the fact that they have different opinions, its the way they write the reviews and the reasons they give that make people (or at least me) have the opinion that they do indeed suck. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
because you don't agree with them.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
erm... no. did you even read my post? do you work for them or something? you seem pretty upset that some people here don't like pitchfork. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I don’t agree with Pitchfork either. :> I mean I really don’t agree with them. But I like to form my own opinion of music anyway from samples available to download. I guess reviews are not my thing. I want them to review track 2 from SponCD1 however but this is an in-joke for my own amusement. I’m stoned too so I’m gonna take it off-line soon. }:> |

|
|
yes i did see your post in which you verified mine |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no i just think rationally and have an understanding of things |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
Oh and that 'crumpets and tea' review of Windowlicker? … ugh … *shudders* Not for me. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
exactly... and astrrid: whatever |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so yuo admit you don't agree with them - that is to say you don't see the music you love from the viewpoint they do... absorb.org is better btw or the bbc site which has a much broasser range www.bbc.co.uk/music |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
*sigh* no one is going to agree with them 100% of the time and I cant stand the way they write the reviews, which is the main reason why i don't like them. and yes the bbc site is good, i've been there before, some nice reviews. I'll have to check out the absorb site, thx. |

I like their style. Their review of Moby Play and 18 was too harsh though. |
