it worries me when ppl say they don't want to be such and
such - they might be like that already and they know!

'sounded like a cheesy bastard'. Ah, for lcc, spot on.

Or maybe he is just pissed off at someone trying to
piggyback on their hard work and success.


I was thinking the same thing.

My personal opinion is that ThomasRhombus is overly
infatuated with the fact that he made a fake. All it did was
cause confusion to those who didnt get the real deal. All it
was was an inconvience for those trying to hear the real
thing due to impatience.

Overlooking the situation most people were disappointed in
the fake. That shouldnt even come as a surprise because
although it seems like autechre to some.... people that know
better knew it wasnt.

Its kind of like a drunk man being attracted to a
transvestite. He thinks its a girl at first but through
further investigation he realizes that this girl isnt what
she claimed to be. Causing horror and disgust.

To this point i still dont understand what the big thing is
about making a fake and then being an attention whore about
it is. I know many people here (myself included) that work
hard to make their own original tracks. Alot of time and
thought and personal ideas and feelings go into these
things. When you make a fake not only is it not original but
there is nothing behind it. Its like cracking a peanut shell
open only to find nothing inside.

This ThomasRhombus guy will be forgotten in months to come
when the real album comes out to those that didnt listen to
the fake and more analords flood our ears. BOC is on the
horizon and in the end this fake will have been nothing
other than a waste of time.

well I wonder if they liked what they heard, beyond the
issue at hand...

-gl0tch-

I am assuming that you are joking that a talented duo would
be awe inspired by some generic ripoff? All that was aquired
was the run of the mill "15 minutes" and thats about it. Its
all downhill from here regarding this issue.

Hopefully down the line ThomasRhombus will go back to making
original material. I think everyone would appreciate that a
bit more.

-Is that necessarily a problem? I'm sure Warp doesnt
think so.


although it seems like autechre to some.... people that
know better knew it wasnt.


-Lol, are ya sure? I could probably query several posts
that would prove otherwise... Plus, a handful of us knew
they spoke of investigating newer things with this album.
That's the point with Autechre you never know. (reread the
interview for proof)

to make their own original tracks. Alot of time and thought
and personal ideas and feelings go into these things. When
you make a fake not only is it not original but there is
nothing behind it


-You should realize these tracks were NOT written
specifically as a fake. They are nearly 2 years old, on an
album, and obviously original. Luckily, he doesnt take
himself so seriously.


This ThomasRhombus guy will be forgotten in months to
come...BOC is on the horizon and in the end this fake will
have been nothing other than a waste of time.


-Who's to say he hasn't already written the faked version
of that album too. (considering it would be MUCH easier to
fake)


I am assuming that you are joking that a talented duo
would be awe inspired by some generic ripoff?


-No. Are you serious? I never said awe inspired. I
said 'liked.' Big difference. If AE represent the
end-all-be-all for you, you still don't think they are music
fans at the end of the day? C'mon. There are some really
good ideas going on in Fluorescent Grey's album. It seems
you're just too wound to realize it.


Hopefully down the line ThomasRhombus will go back to
making original material. I think everyone would appreciate
that a bit more.


-Again, please do you research.

I'm with Sean on this one. The more the merrier. How could
you be pissed off that someone put together a fake Untilted
album and let people download it. You shouldn't even be
able to hear the real thing until it's released anyways.
And for the people that thought it was Autechre....what were
you thinking? The production and ideas were nothing like
Autechre put out. It was like a mess of lukewarm gruel to
my ears. Best approximation. Citars anyone? Get real.
Were you ever aware before Sean came right out and said it
in the interview that they try to dissociate their sounds so
that you're not listening to "this thing [i.e. a citar]",
but just the sound in itself? Well, I've yet to hear the
real thing. So call me a dick if you want.

Personally i think your too much of a fluorescent grey fan
boy. I can say that my opinion is balanced as i am not the
biggest autechre fan out there.

What research is there to do? He makes/made music that he
tried to pass off as autechre's. It needs to sound like
autechres music to pass as a fake. Therefore the music no
matter how old you would like to say it is, is unoriginal.

My opinion sparked because i noticed this guy tooting his
own horn for something as lame as making a fake. Him and a
couple of accounts sprang up to sing praises of what a
wonderful job of spoofing the community he did.

my point is that i had a legit promo before i heard his
version. To me i can tell the difference between autechres
talent and a developing artist.

overall i respect people that make music for themselves and
dont market it in some bullshit fashion. I mean i never
heard of this guy until now. I could imagine him not getting
well recieved and trying this ploy to garner more listeners
and hopefully generating a fanbase. This perfectly coincides
with lee's earlier comment of "...someone trying to
piggyback on their hard work and success. " which i think
summed up the situation quite well.

Do my research? On what? In my viewpoint i believe i nailed
this one on the head. There is nothing extravagent about his
work. I'm sorry to be the first one to speak my honest mind
in a negitve fashion.

These posts of mine arent supposed to be flames/insults and
i hope they are not taken as such. I am merely adding
commentary to the situation in a "no holds barred" fashion.
By being honest, upfront and blunt.

As for really good ideas on his album... i am sure there
are. I am not saying directly that his album is completely
void of originality but its hard to desipher when there are
thousands of electronic artists doing similar things.

Wow, I wonder if they were thinking that when they were
writing Confield and working through the blatant tabla
sounding structures of "VI Scose Poise" ?

I don't get why spreading fakes is such a big deal either -
for the faker I mean.

so it's easy to spread fakes using p2p-networks. wow, as if
we didn't know that already.

it's easy spreading fake information through the internet
period.

why go to the trouble, etc.

At first i was gonna tell them i was gay to get fired, but i
soon realised that wouldn't work.

The fences aren't that high.
