hehehe just got higgins and defluxion on vinyl and it's so beautiful. i was sitting there listening to side a of the defluxion 7" and i just sat there like "this is what i've been looking for. this is what i needed." like i had just realized how long i had been waiting for someone like aaron funk to come along and give me exactly what i wanted with out even knowing it. i love everything. |

I really dont' get how this guy has a following I've noticed you're quite into him.. why? do you really feel his degree of artistry and talent measures up to that of richard james, autechre, squarepusher? I honestly want to know what draws you to him.. what is it about venetian snares that deserves any attention/money(<--?forget about it) maybe you'll convince me .. who knows |

roygbivcore i know what you mean mate :) theo, when i listen to snares really loud like at a party or in a club, it turns me into a monster and i freak out, same as when i listen to aphex in the same situation, its harsh, nasty and fast but at the same time very thoughtful, the guy knows his shit |

some how i knew you'd be the one who posted :P it's hard to explain really. i kind of like how it seems completely random, but then when you start to get into it, it all just clicks. and i definately like how incredibly hard it is. i dunno it's hard to put into words. but i just think you have to really want it. and then it becomes this part of you that you can't really explain in words, but with facial expressions (and not grimaces). there's some of his work i don't like that much (most of songs about my cats) but theres just these tracks that make it all worth it... i also like how it feels like he evolves with each album, like most artists of course, except he does it in such a small amount of time... like doll doll doll and songs about my cats. done in the same year, but there's such different techniques and feelings in them. i hope that helped :D a bit long winded |

Whatever you do.....pirate or buy. Listen to the whole album at once, concentrating on it. Do this a few times. If you still don't like it, that's fine, but I didn't get into/see what all the fuss was about] snares until about my third listen to higgins. I've been hooked since. |

the beats are so relentless, i remember going to see doormouse and there was a dj who played 'cobra commander' and we were dancing like lunatics, and then it just goes sick with all the lazer gun noises it just sent me mad |

believe me, I really gave WITBOAS a chance.. a few at that.. and there were some that really developed into some fascinating pieces.. but ultimately I felt like I was on the outside not wanting to really infiltrate my way inside. like with many other artists of thier respective genres, I can appreciate their artistry or their talent, or parts of (or entire) their songs.. but they're just not groups or artists or genres I want to associate myself with.. or invest all that much time/money into.. I cast a relatively wide net when searching for new music.. but I regard my record collection to be an exclusive one.. I'm very picky w/ that.. it just wasn't something I wanted to own.. (don't ask).. I just dont identify w/ it or the person behind it.. (I regard arron funk as a black/death metalhead who one day stumbled upon a sequencer, and a genre with few icons of great influence and importence)... many albums or works of any kind for that matter, initially keep the public at arms length.. this just wasnt one I wanted to really penetrate (unlike Confield, or say, the vastly underrated Windowlicker equation song for example) I also understand that this only represents one side (an unusually dark one , along with 'find candace', as I understand it) of his repritoire which can at times be quite upbeat and has a charm to it.. I'm interested in hearing "making orange things," as I imagine that's the path he'd be on if he hadn't stumbled upon the aforementioned sequencer and the subgenre attached ;) (which band did he record that with) and , of course, his sex album w/ hecate.. that should definately prove to be an interesting listen |

WITBOAS is definitely not a starter album. I haven't heard all of it and so far, I really don't like it that much myself. Listen to Doll Doll Doll for a real taste, then try moving on to other albums. |

i still haven't been able to get into witboas, mind you it took me a while to admire songs about my cats for what it is. |

making orange things is straight up breakcore gabba i guess it's not metal |
||||||||

oh it isnt'? hmm.. I thought I read that somewhere. can u explain breakcore? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
it's like drill 'n' bass but the bass drums are more like hardcore, and it's just more harsh sound to it i guess you could say 54 cymru beats is breakcore, or drill 'n' bass or whatever, it's just a name, call it what u like |
||||||||

I certainly can't explain it, but another way of putting it is "Industrial Drum 'n Bass," if that helps. |
||||||||

breakcore.. hmm ok, well as we know, a breaks are little parts in the song where the drums change for a few beats, usually before something new happens in the song break core is basically made up of breaks, changing constantly |

|
|
I think breakcore always involves a sample, right? |
