AFX's worst song
 

Krendo from Leicester University on 2001-11-30 14:17 [#00057063]



RDJ has released some damned good stuff over the years, but,
Christ, some of it is really pretty bad. For example:

Tha (SAW)
The last 2 tracks on SAW
The 2 Mescalinum United remixes on Classics
Digeridoo
Most of the Caustic Window stuff
The Polygon Window track on AI2 - it was shit!
Track 21 on SAW II
The 2nd and 4th tracks from On
The third track from Ventolin
Wax the Nip, and Cow Cud is a Twin (ICBYD)
About half of the stuff on RDJ Album
Milkman
Donkey Rhubarb
Come To Daddy
Vaz Deferenz

He has really made some crap music, don't you think?



 

Mer from j on 2001-11-30 14:47 [#00057066]



I do not agree with any of that. The only Aphex track i have
serious problems with is Logon Rock Witch.


 

The kize from glasgow on 2001-11-30 14:54 [#00057068]



apart from that,wot av the romans ever done for us?!


 

IronLung from Dark Side of the moon on 2001-11-30 14:56 [#00057070]



Cmon....Digeridoo
is a wicked track...very loud with headphones?....cmon,
cant get better.


 

Chrispy from UK on 2001-11-30 15:00 [#00057071]



I like Logon Rock Witch... The tune is really nicely hidden
amidst the deaf artist noises!


 

m i f f from c y m r u on 2001-11-30 15:06 [#00057072]



i think you must be having a larf. m o s t of the caustic
window stuff is gggreat as tony the tiger woul tell you.


 

SlopJ from Cincinnati, OH on 2001-11-30 15:09 [#00057073]



I like a lot of the tracks you mentioned, but no way
anyone's genuinely going to like everything he puts out.

Can't believe you left out track 2 from AB3. Maybe at 3-4
minutes it would be tolerable, but if memory serves it's
like 8 minutes long.


 

Dirtypriest from Denmark on 2001-11-30 15:28 [#00057075]



You´re kinda saying: HATE ME, WRITE STUPID POSTS TO ME

krendo fella.


 

Ophecks from Nova Scotia on 2001-11-30 16:05 [#00057086]



I love Digeridoo, I love Caustic Window, I love everything
but GAK. I actually even like THAT a little...


 

dan from stan on 2001-11-30 16:34 [#00057093]



i hate aphex twin.

whats wrong with sade?


 

The_Funkmaster from Newfoundland, Canada on 2001-11-30 17:30 [#00057102]



yeah, with any artist, no matter how much you love them, you
aren't gonna love everything... I love most of the stuff
I've heard by Aphex Twin, but from each album theres
probably a song, or two at the most that I don't like...
with ICBYD its Ventolin, with the RDJ album its Logon Rock
Witch... with Come to Daddy its probably funny little man...
anyways, you get the picture...


 

s from s on 2001-11-30 19:03 [#00057117]



wanker.. tha was the masterpiece ambient for its time you
shit4brainz


 

Ophecks from Nova Scotia on 2001-11-30 19:07 [#00057120]



Who are you referring to?


 

evolume from at work in bothell, north of seattle, USA on 2001-11-30 19:09 [#00057121]



everyone knows that aphex twin just rips off pearl jam and
greenday and robert miles.
his worst song by far is "sweet emotion" off of Appetite for
Destruction
of course no one can forget the beautiful track, "cum on
feel the noize;" a classic tribute to the great paul reiser.


 

Ophecks from Nova Scotia on 2001-11-30 19:16 [#00057124]



Hmm... have I been listening to the WRONG Aphex Twin?


 

The_Funkmaster from Newfoundland, Canada on 2001-11-30 19:36 [#00057133]



heh, yeah Ophecks, I guess I have been as well...


 

Ophecks from Nova Scotia on 2001-11-30 19:49 [#00057139]



Appetite for Destruction... hmm... wicked guitar solos,
looks like he does more than just fiddle on an IBook.


 

The_Funkmaster from Newfoundland, Canada on 2001-11-30 19:50 [#00057140]



yeah, I had no idea Aphex Twin wrote Sweet Child of Mine...
I always thought that was Guns and Roses... hmmm, guess I
was wrong...


 

Ophecks from Nova Scotia on 2001-11-30 19:52 [#00057143]



Us stupid maritimers are wrong about EVERYthing... sniff...

Richard looks good in glasses, a hat, and long black
rock-idiot hair. Good guitarist.
Ditch the little annoying singer and he'll be alright!

jupiter from kansas on 2001-12-01 05:13 [#00057272]



If your gonna insult AFX like that, then you need to stay
away from this web-site for a cernury, ass-hole, the richard
d james is one of his best albums, i know i said i don't
like drukqs, but RDJ ?

Are u mad ???

this web-site should say all crack-heads follow the arrow,
then it'll take you to the moby message boards, good idea
huh ???


 

Primo from Colorado on 2001-12-01 05:23 [#00057273]



hrmm

AFX rox you buttdawgies!! I love the shit from SAWII and
RDJ album rocks,and analog bubblebath rocks and holy shit
the only song i dont like is ventolin! He isnpires me to
write tracks, same with cylob!!! AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! You all
are entitled to an opinion, but you can't be entitled to an
opinion of shit!


 

Krendo from Leicester University on 2001-12-08 16:56 [#00059063]



Yesss... I tell people that I don't like every single track
by AFX and suddenly I'm a Moby fan! Moby, let me tell you,
writes slow, banal, asinine tunes that helped contribute
towards this sudden commercial flowering of "Chill Out"
albums, most of which are half-full of tracks by Enya and
Groove Armada. Let me be clear - Moby, give or take a tune,
is a heap of shit. AFX is my favourite artist, by a long
way. I do think that Caustic Window J5 and J9 are mostly
rubbish, as well as a couple of his B-side tracks. But then
loads of you guys are telling me Drukqs isn't that good.
Drukqs is an excellent album, way better than the RDJ Album.
Classics, too, and SAW II are great albums, much more
ambitious than I Care Because You Do and Come To Daddy. It
is only when Aphex releases stuff like this, or such stuff
as Ventolin and the equation track, that he actually does
anything genuinely new and exciting. The rest is good, but
could have been written by just about anybody on the Warp
label in the last ten years.


 

Xanatos from NYC on 2001-12-08 17:01 [#00059064]



My aphex tastes change all the time.

I make it a policy not to make mixes but to burn complete
CDs in order. It forces me to listen to some tracks I
wouldn't have liked a month ago, but are now my favorites...
I first got drukqs, thought there were only 3 good tracks
on both cds. Now I realize there are at least 8!

Keep an open mind. Except for Ventolin =) Ventolin sucks


 

D@RTH /@DER from An Imperial Cruiser on 2001-12-08 20:03 [#00059084]



HA HA!
lol at "The Kize"


 

Loogie from UK on 2001-12-08 20:43 [#00059088]



I hate "My Teapot"
I think aphex designed that track purely to annoy the fuck
out of people


 

aperson on 2001-12-08 21:11 [#00059092]



Elephant song

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
KILL THE MOTHERFUCKING SCREECHING
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH


 

MO 2 on 2001-12-08 23:15 [#00059102]



yeah, most of the songs you listed are damn good - half the
RDJ album?!!!??


 

Contour Regard from airport on 2001-12-09 00:33 [#00059105]



Aphex Airlines, plain and simple


 

Quadrapelegicrobotikev from mp3.com/quadrapelegicrobotik on 2001-12-09 00:35 [#00059108]



elephant song


 

1010-1111-10 from St.John\\\\\\'s Newfoundland, Canada on 2001-12-09 03:05 [#00059115]



some of the polygon window is hard but for its time.... I
respect it and actually like most of it as legit music.

the analogue bubble bath has produced some annoying songs,
yes track 2 on abb3, jesus y is it so long!!!!!!

The elephant song is almost the same damn loop over and over
minus a few minor effects, when some funky drums kick in at
one part it souds cool and you think hes gonna go with that
but they just fade off... poo


 

Aktium from bat country on 2001-12-09 04:37 [#00059120]



krendo, you should be shot in the back of the head


 

bumblefuk on 2001-12-09 06:45 [#00059144]



AFX is your favourite artist but all this stuff you list is
utter shit? bizarre. is there no grey area? no sense of
perspective? no sense of humour? for the most part you
seem to have drawn tracks outta a hat, set some in the great
pile, the others in a shit pile. bizarre.


 

analogFX from austria on 2001-12-09 07:11 [#00059145]



to kendo: hate all or nothing!
i love every track of rdj



 

1010-1111-10 from St.John\\\'s Newfoundland, Canada on 2001-12-09 07:11 [#00059146]



yes i was discusted to see that u put the last 2 tracks of
SAWII

sure the second last isnt great but holy shit man
matchsticks is amazing. A very powerful song, one to make a
person cry if played at the right time.

Half the RDJ is bad? What were you thinking? And besides,
did you not think that he was ever going to write some bad
tracks? He's not perfect you know.
