Is this a joke?! I noticed it is now playing on the frontpage of the warpsite... but this has got to be one of the most boring things i've ever heard from aphex :-s I hope the other 25 mixes are going to be a bit better than this. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
its really not that different to the original, is it!?... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
very different. and yes, its kind of boring. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the cow bells are definitely a joke (and a bad one too i might add) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i kind of meant aphex style different... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It's still recognisable as windowlicker if that's what you mean. The cowbells don't even annoy me so much, it's more the fact that it's so repetitive... nothing happens, nothing interesting at all. It also sounds like at the end the warpsite just faded it... the album-version lasts longer, no? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
AAAAAarrrrrghhhhhhhh not the cowbell sample.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I like the fact that its easier than hell to take samples from. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i agree, it is pretty boring... they disagree on boomkat tho-this is taken from their review: "Plus, of course, the new Acid Edit of Windowlicker (yes, it’s ace)" if this is sarcastic or not i can't judge :) imo, certanly one of his weakest tracks (perhaps it will grow on me) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i dont think so. not one of his most cerebral tracks. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"is this a joke" i also thougt that when i listened the first time. oh well i could say the only time too ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
like it :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i mlike its simplicity, and i think its very well done. really like it in fact |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The NME review was the best, they called it "spectacular"! Laugh? I nearly wept |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i so much wanna dance to it right now boum pok boum pok pok boum pok waawww mmhh 70's beats feeling is always good and the bells are awesome |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I like it. Well, I say I like it. I tolerate it. Well, I say 'tolerate', what I do is... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It's kinda scary that one of the two newest track is so bad. What about that SAW-remix? Har Richie lost "the touch"? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
come on if anyone here had done something like windowlicker acid edit, we 'd all be like waaww thats a great track !i like simple beats with great movement, i think its one of those. i cannot wait for that album to come |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's nice as a simple track.good for partying i guess. i take it everyone here hates that bowie/glass cover as well? hmph. i likes it, somehow |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I like the Acid Edit. It's nowhere near as good as the original but if I had t on vinyl it'd be great for mixing in over the top of something but not for playing. I think it's missing something. I like the Bowie thing. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Eh the Acid Edit is nice. Easy on the brain. The bowie track is nice. I love the orchestra sounds in the back. Makes me think of Final Fantasy 3 flying around in the air ship.... nice song. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i don't think it's any less a joke than his last 'album.' (which could have made an outstanding ep, without all the horrid fiddly crap filler on it.) it is rather a 'dumb' track, but it's fun, nonetheless. .l. . . . |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
come on, drukqs is awesome! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
This should have been left off the Album... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i really didn't like drukqs, ohter than a small handful of tracks. it just felt like masturbatory crap that he only released because he COULD. i just didn't like it. .l. . . . |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
just listening to it now....... this is exactly why the vinyl shoulda been pressed........... cos this is a tune for mixing. His windowlicker version on the primaverasound set is great though! |
||||||||

Okay, so i'll do what all the moderators and webmasters seem to want us to do, and also use this thread to talk about how i feel about 26 mixes as a whole (bought it earlier today, now listening for the first time). "zeros and ones, aphex twin reconstruction#2" is playing at the moment, and this is awesome! Very dark and atmospheric and i like it alot :-) Another one that immediately stood out for me was the glass/bowie remix. The orchestration there is fantastic. I never heard the original, so i have no idea who exactly is responsible for what... but it sounded so good and so dramatic... i loved it. The vocals sound really seperated from the rest of the sounds, which for me totally changed the feeling of this song. I mean the original david bowie song, that one always sounded euphoric and very uplifting to me... the aphex-version sounds sad and depressing. (in a good way). But... so far so good, i'm liking this album alot more than i was expecting to :-) |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
ok.. is it worth 22 euros? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I only paid 18 euros for it (got one of those scratch-card out of a bag of Lay's Crisps... if you know what i'm talking about. Gives you 4 euros discount at free record shop). But yeah, had i paid 22 euros for it, i would have felt it was worth it! Especially if you (like me) didn't know any of these mixes yet. Man, the beauty of being numb is incredible :-) What a cool atmosphere, it sounds like music being played in a moody and dark bar in the very late hours. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
At the Heart of it All is one of his best tracks imo |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Wow... and the highlight so far is definitely "let my fish loose, aphex twin remix" Goosebumps and everything.... that girl's (?) voice is so beautiful. Does anyone know nobukazu takemura? Is his other music anything like this? Wow... i love this track :-D I can't get over it... it's so moving and delicate. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'm gonna get a couple of his albums soon, i'll let you know what there like. I've been meaning to get some of his stuff for ages! All the Japanese artists i've heard so far have been excelent! Yokota, Boredoms, Cornelius etc. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the reason it is there at all is to SELL the album. it lets them promote it as containing new material. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"i'll let you know what there like" Yeah i'd like that very much! :-) Thanks. I had never heard of him... but it seems i've been missing out :-p Coincidentally, i also bought a cornelius-cd today :-) (fantasma)... it's crazy but wonderful. It sounds like my entire cd-collection is condensed into this one album :-p So varried... and so many different musical-styles are combined as if they had always naturally belonged together. Hm... the 2nd disc of 26 mixes sounds alot harsher and more agressive than the first. It's pretty good, but i think i preferred the 1st. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Deep in Velvet is awesome, one of the best tracks on the second disk! I think 26 mixes is one of his best albums so far, some brilliant tracks on there. I think the acid edit is prob the weakest though, its like no effort went into it. I've only got point by Cornelius, i'll have to get fantasma. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's not boring but yes it's simple. but must it be bad cause of that? I think its a floooorfiller!!!!!!!!!! killah disco fevah baby!!! yeah! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
is it just me or does it seem as if Richard hated the original "You Can't Hide Your Love" song? :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I love it. Quit bitching you fannies, because if I like something it IS good, and hence you all have bad taste in music if you disagree. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
While I haven't heard let my fish loose yet, I can tell you that Takemura is pretty incredible, I own scope, which is a crazy melodic album (maybe ep it only has 5 tracks, but they are like 15-10minutes long) you should look into his stuff |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
okay I have bad taste yay |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think this song rocks. i've been listening to the loop all morning. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
its not horrendous or anything, but it just sounds like someones got bits of windowlicker straight off the original and put them against a pleasant beat. i reckon the original could have been taken apart a bit more and new harmonies and bits of melody and other interesting things put in! not a bad album though... like the seefeel, the NIN, the wagon christ and the nav katze #1 the best. also the new SAW mix is nice. i think its the one off the peel session. i recognise it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ps. you cannot badmouth the cowbell! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
What the fuck? It's fucking mint man. I took it right to my head and kicked back. A great Aphex track and the chox where nice too. You gonna tell AFX what tracks to put out? or just enjoy? |

I like a lot the "You can't hide your love" remix, also the Wagon Christ remix, and i'm interested to hear the Nobukazu Takemura remix but... I'll bought it cheap sometime in the future in eBay can't wait for the pre sale of Draft 7.30!! |
||||||||
|

I only paid 18 euros for it (got one of those scratch-card out of a bag of Lay's Crisps... if you know what i'm talking about. Gives you 4 euros discount at free record shop). damn! why didn't i think of that!? i always threw these stupid things away, cause i thought: "what am i going to buy at 'freerecordshop' ?" i paid 22,50 .. still i don't regret it, there are lots of great tracks on it (and i would've bought it anyway since i collect all afx stuff) btw surrounded: what happened to your head? you seem so.. so.. upside-down .. :D |
