Without going into it a great deal, there has been a lot of discussion (especially with the release of smojphace) that Richard is ripping off the fans. As in Smojphace was a junk release just to prove that his fans will buy just about anything that he'd put out. What is you take on this? Do you agree/disagree? Do you think smojphace was made for our (fans) mockery? I am really not so sure about this belief. Why would Richard mock his loyalists? I think that he is just trying out new things. Being innovative instead of rehashing the same ol` same ol`. |

Just a tip. If you want to provoke a thoughtful debate, leave out your opinion on your first post. Otherwise these topics tend to turn into a big love-in of people agreeing with the original post. |

But to answer the question, I don't think he's taking the fans for a ride. He's a bit of a prankster but I don't think he'd go that far. I'm not going to buy this release. If the B side were an instrumental of the A side I probably would have, though. |

and what was that about "fuck off trainspotters" being aimed at us or collectors? I read something somewhere where it said that etched on the side (?) it said "fuck off trainspotters". Later on in the thread there was talk about how that might have been aimed at obsessive fans? |

I tend to think of that release as a one track EP and the other tracks are something that needs decoding or ignoring or whatever you fancy. If you think of it as a one track EP it doesn't seem such a waste. Unless you you don't like the one track of course. But I like it. The other two tracks contain some interesting sounds in occasional places, but I think that's just just serendipity and the second one is better than the first, probably cos it's over sooner :D I think he'd definitely go as far as to put piss-take tracks on his releases, but I don't think he'd put out a release that was entirely a pisstake. If I was in his position I'd do something similar for sure just cos it'd give me a laugh. But that's just me. |

so to talk about smoj its rude as stuff. my favourite thing of his yet. just the instrumental idea of it.. ive said that before.. you can look at it cynically, and say that possibly it is an attention seeking thing.. but what music isnt in a way? so no im not so harsh as to bag aphex as i might sound. i guess im bent on a live sound :D its been the best fun doing this with ryan, hopefully well pull one more jam before he goes to euro.. |

I really like the first track. It would be cool to see RDJ do an album that is dub mixed with his classic AFX style. I would like to see where that goes. Is there more to come form this guy? Or do we have to wait 1,000,000 years? |

I think Smoj was perfectly timed! Think about this... 26 Mixes for Cash was quite an accessable release - I have heard quite a few (pseudo anti)fashionable indie studenty types talking about it as if they'd been listening to RJ from day one - So - Obviously, after such an accessable release he goes out and does something completely the opposite. I think RJ's managed what so few have in any scene - And that is to become HUGELY successful, yet never accessable enough for the masses of tragically unhip indie types to latch on to him - Which is perfect! Also, he's got everyone talking again, fueling his fire - It doesn't matter what you thought of this release, EVERYONE's going to be waiting with baited breath to see what he does next... |

Well I'm sure they'll be some new trend or take on things soon by Aphex. Things evolve all the time. |
