every tracks on this release lacks in some way for me.
i like some parts of the remix, especially the new "bärng bärng" bassline and what rich did with the voices. but the drill was done very crappy imo. sounds like a messed up amen, sounds like evryone could do it. i got to admit that the first time i heard it i had to get up and jump to the beat. rating: maybe 5/10
ktpa1 is good. im not much into noise but this is what it let me feel: min. 1: oh this is noise but my ears are fine. felt kinda whoaa aggressive! later: interesting sounds later: nice noisy "rhythm" almost wanted to dance or at least nod the had in quick spastics later: i had to laugh at the end of the song i went through all these moods and thoughts, which is my prove that this song is worthwhile listening to. i had to think of a complex mathematical equation and though
i didnt know why i somehow believe i had similar feelings in
those songs.
kpta2 (gotta listen again) mediocre after one listen (too high noise)
i dont think this is a very good release, think about NOT buying this

matter of fact, im about to start a new topic right fucking now about Smojphace!!!!!
Chill!!! let everyone start a new topic about smojphace if they want to its a fucking new AFX release we talking about for christs sake (its not like me making a new review about my best friends independent unreleased rock ep its the king of electronic music for heavens sake).
NOW LEAVE ATOP ALONE (and everyone else making smojphace topics, we need to discuss this one, its good for our mental health, its much better than porn and shit topics like that)!!!!!

we don't have to discuss it in 6930000036000 threads!!
it would be intresting if people were pointing out new stuff or intresting thoughts but every new thread are (negative mostly) personal reviews of the release

I think the key to understanding the MEN label is the amount of DJing that AFX does nowadays....(as DJ Smojphace etc...)...
He's making tracks to play out...certainly not to make any money from (anyone seen any promotion anywhere???)...
and these are tracks he personally loves (and are worthy of the AFX treatment..)..
Even the ktpas work when you consider them as part of something to be mixed with, rather than listened to as an individual piece....listen to the end of RTPR and you can hear noise used it that way (and I do love that ending as the noise takes over...)...
Anyways...just a couple of thoughts as this feeble mind tries to put the ep in perspective....

I go with Jand it is a personal release, DJ Friendly Mix. A white label.
O.K. He could release it under another name, but I think his sound is so distinctive or people would 'out' him being such a big name. The fuss would be taken away from the music and the hype/speculation would become major issue.
We all know this from the past heavy speculation of anything vaguely AFX sounding. You have got to remember and respect it is the first time he can release purely what he likes unlike the constrains on Rephlex / Warp (Be more DJ fashion conscious if you like). Without worrying about the label 'sound' or respecting the other artists on it.
I was a Sonar 2001 (Plus the Lighthouse party) and will be going to Glastonbury expecting the same Hardcore DJ mishmash / Wall of sound. It does work the 'noise' thing loud and mixed as Jand rightly says. It was not conceived for you bedroom jockeys just to get your parents to tell you to turn that shit off.
Peace

You speak sense Jand. First time I listened to it I was thinking how nicely you could mix it with some other stuff.

I should add that how easy would it have been for AFX to release it on a limited 12" or white label that everyone would end up paying 100s for on Ebay...
Props to ya, Rich...long may you continue to confound & stretch, and walk your own path...nothing worst than an artist who listens to his fans & tempers their work to some tiny niche....Something I don't think anyone could accuse Rich of...
