for me, i've stopped using the joyrex MB, even though i'm a big fan of his page. But Phob has made this MB even more user friendly and he's kept the style and simplicity which is important. are you all "ex-joyrex MB posters" or do you still post on the Joyrex MB regularly? -respect. |

I used to post on JR occasionaly, I've always been a .nuer tho, I just love the simplicity + the crowd. I must say tho, the news/facts/literature section of the joyrex mb is much more complete and updated than v4 (no offense phob.) Its kind of like Joyrex is more the Aphex Twin Resource and AT.nu is the Aphex Twin Community....oh wait =) |
||||||||
|

I've never really posted on that board, I've always been very content with this one, always been very accessable in my mind, plus it was the first aphex twin site I found when I first got into his music. |
||||||||

I posted a lot there. But uh we will not need to discuss that any further. Before it was different, there were far more idiots posting here because of the lack of "security" here, but not v5 is in place, its idiot free and obviously far superior. |

i've never posted on joyrex but i try to read it every couple weeks. seems like almost no one ever posts there. i like this one much better. |

today i visited that board for the first time to see if i could find there jupiter or mike to see what they could be saying... but i didnt find them... anyway I agree... nobody seemed to post there and it was a bit confusing that thing of separating the topics |

Don't like it, won't use it, like people here, not there, good navigation here, not there, don't need to start more rivalry, they suck, this rules, etc |

Joyrex is a great board, cool people nice interface... but this one just happens to be better. ;-) Nacmat, Jupiter DOES post there now, as On. And they're giving him a rough time... dunno where Mike is. |

I've never posted on the Joyrex board, but from reading it occasionally, it seems to get a lot less use than this one. And I LOVE the v5 layout... |

How did you get to knoe that he was ON??? you are a detective or something?? LOL |

Yeah. this one looks and works a whole lot better than that one. This one is totally custom and built from the ground up which is amazing and just awsome.... that one is not. |

i bet joyrex will read this thread. while i'm at it, i just want to note that i find him to be really silly for not liking drukqs. (yes reflex i realize you're not a fan of it either, but you don't run what is arguably the best unofficial aphex twin web site.) |
||||||||

Hmmm I dont like drukqs. Im not trying to bach Joyrex or anything, its more a matter of opinion. |

I have to admit that Tune and Phobia have done a great job with this board, and while I'm really not out to compete with Phobia, our "friendly rivalry" has made both sites better I think. This new board is probably the best thing that has happened to this site in some time, because the quality of the threads here has gone up considerably, which is what matters. I use an 'out of the box' board because I am not a proficient Perl programmer like Tune, nor do I have access to one who has the free time to help me out. I like the features, speed, and ease-of-use. One thing I will point out to you though is a lot of the features Tune and Phobia have incorporated into this new board is strikingly similar to the 'out of the box' messageboards. Food for thought. RE: DrukQs - I never said I hated DrukQs entirely, just I was very disappointed by it as I expected something different. There are about 3-5 tracks on it I really like, and the rest, like many have said, is more like 'filler' material. If you all understood some of the reasons behind why DrukQs was released, you'd look at it differently too. As for me running an Aphex site and not liking one of Richard's releases, I think I am better for it and so are the visitors to my site - if I said I liked DrukQs even though I actually did not, I'd be no better than a manufactured website run by some record label. If you all like it here more than my site/board, then great - support Phobia and help him make the site better. It's the least you can do in return for all his hard work. We're not running these sites to win some popularity contest - we do them to provide YOU the Aphex fan the information about your favourite artist. |

how dare you assume what i or we do or do not understand. that's highly pompous of you. as for drukqs, it's not just *one* of richard's releases - it's the latest. as a site keeping up with his current music and performances, it seems highly strange for the webmaster to not even appreciate the latest offering. i'm not saying anyone who's heard the album should be head over heels in love with it, but you of all people - it just doesn't sit right. |

Times ago, when V4 was full of Clones and Trolls I took make bags and I moved to joyrex mb. After 2 months I came back to aphextwin.nu 'cos it was my first aphex site, phobiazero is a friend, and I was sure about the improvement of v5. Anyway Joyrex mb was funny, but was slow for my old modem 56K... I like Joyrex as webmaster, he's a nice and kind person and he knows everything about Aphex Twin. He always gave an answer to my questions and so sometime I go to visit his site. I hope aphextwin.nu and joyrex.com will remain for long time on our web. WooÆ’er nyway I was born in .nu and |

titsworth-your last post is very interesting. you make a comment relating to joyrex's disapointment of afx's newest by using the word silly. I hear silly used a lot with parents talking to their kids. your thinking seems to be that because joyrex runs an afx website that it is silly for him to not to appreciate it. it seems to me that one can first be dissapointed(JREX's words) with a release but also appreciate it for what it is. like maybe expecting a record that flows like polygon window but insteading receiving a collection of old tracks with some new ones on it. anyway it seems that you made a snide comment thus luring him in than blast him for defending himself. maybe one shouldn't reply to your insults? if that is true your sense of entitlement is amazing. As to afx.nu vs joyrex- I'm content with the thinking that two afx boards are better than one. |

Joyrex you seem to be a good person, nice to read you. but here at this MB I feel good and thats why I wont try yours (not yet at least) BTW i love drukqs but I am sure you understand a lot more than i do about music... you said that if we knew certain things about drukqs we ´d think other way about it... welll tell me what is it? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

I think that everybody has the right to express his thoughts... even a webmaster. thanks to that we know they are saying what they really think when we ask them something... as joyrex says if he lied then his site would be like a recor label´s one |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Drukqs was a disappointment for me as well. I expected more from my God... and like Joyrex said; 4-5 tracks are really great, especially the older ones. I can't see why my personal opinion would be bad for me? Thanks for all your positive feedback. The good news is that it will be even better soon. As for the lack of FAX-related updates - sorry I've been busy - the Moderators will have the ability to add news and other info later on. |

Basically, we're fans just like you. FAX = AFX btw...hehe |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you are fans just like us??? well I am sure you know a lot more about afx than i do... and thats why I tend to believe anything you say about him... or use to take note of your advice about any music |

Nacmat - what Joyrex meant was that Aphex Twin only released a bucnh of track to get out of the warprecords contract (not his best track etc). |

yea something i had heard... thanks archival... anyway i like drkqs a lot |

Ive said it since day 1, I was dissapointed by the new CD because it didnt resemble his old style, predating RDJ album I mean, Im talking AB3 and Caustic Window stuff..... probably even Quoth and who can forget Polygon window! I dont really enjoy the way he went, it was... typical I think. |
||||||||
|
|

perceptor- i used "silly" as a neutered word cos i like the guy. i explained better the 2nd time why i find it pecuiliar that he doesn't like it. i don't think i was being snide, and if i wanted to i could've been completely juvenile about my opinion on the matter. i found HIS claim to be juvenile. unless he knows some starting piece of information that hasn't been in any of the interviews or articles (and i mean any of them at all) i don't see where he gets off dictating what i do and do not understand or know. polygon window IS a collection of old tracks btw. i don't understand your point there. |
||||||||
|

| |||||||||
|

well what can ya do I guess.. If he doens't like it..he doesn't like it! I like how joyrex and phobia are great sports and they aren't competing. I had doubts about this new member system but i've grown to like it! this board HAS gotten better, no more dumb kids hiding behind other names talking shit to people. |

Some of what Archrival said is true; DrukQs was mostly a contract-ending release for Richard, and I think it shows. Contrary to popular belief, a LOT of those songs are really old, and you can clearly see the difference between the old and new tracks. I had knowledge of this long before DrukQs was formally announced, and when it turned out to be the case, I was disappointed. It's not like Confield (another love-it or hate-it album) where everyone was expecting the same old AE and they went in a totally different direction, this alienating some of their fans. I agree with Phresch's first comment about "simplicity being important". Since you die unless you evolve, there will be some changes to my board, and you all are welcome to frequent this one or mine as much as you like. As Perceptor said, "two boards are better than one", which I agree with entirely. I read this board almost as much as I read mine. I'd be a fool and ignorant to ignore the great source of information that lies here. |

Whether or not Drukqs isn't entirely new stuff, I still think it's in a different league than his older stuff. Polygon Window is simple and boring compared to Drukqs, and not simple in a ''SAW2'' way... it's good, but it's just not in the same league as Drukqs. Now Drukqs may not be a big step up, it may be a step BACK... but it at least fixes one of the problems I had with the RDJ Album... short tracks! Ziggomatic is flawless! And I've got about 250 posts over at Joyrex, plus I read it a lot, it's a great site. Different strokes for different folks, though... and that is one cute kid you got there! |

my music knowledge and the fact that I know aphex since not more than 2 months ago, dont let me give an opinion on what you are saying about drukqs... anyway I like it a lot, i like the way it changes from one track to another... i like everything about it... but i must admitt tha i havent got the perspective in time to see if this is old or new material... confield i love it by the way |

As far as this thread goes, I really feel there shouldn't be any rivalry between the two sites. I have visited both sites for some time now, though I usually post at Joyrex simply because I found it to be more worthwhile in engaging a dialogue between others that are fans of Aphex Twin. Not that this board doesn't have it's share of knowledgable individuals, but because I can address the 'type' of topic I would like with more catagorization. For instance, I can talk about anything that comes to the top of my head in a General Discussion forum, the latest Rephlex releases in another, my latest music making endevours in yet another - etc. This seperated catagorization of information is very useful (there are many boards that do this, not just Joyrex). In general, Joyrex is, imo - the most comphrehensive RDJ archive on the internet. Phobiazero's information is certainly nothing to overlook and quite informative, as well. Both sites compliment one another, in actuallity. And both sites Webmasters are to be respected, as are their communities. Peace. |

Wait for V5, man. It'll be far much better and comprehensive than V4. Chris Miller will manage the discography, or at least have the ability to correct and update the new disco. Chris is pretty famous himself. |
