Just been going through the old releases on Warp and got up to 'Quoth'. What a shift! You just know something changed forever when this record came out on Warp. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
So many people praise Quoth as being amazing--but to me, it's just shite. |
||||||||
|

marlowe, Yeah but you've really got to appreciate it within its context. I don't think its the best Aphex record, by any means. But its the importance of it which is key. I get the impression sometimes that people who have just got into Aphex (not suggesting you have) etc find lots of old electronic records too simple etc to get into. I think that if you were listening to this stuff back in the early nineties you appreciate it more whereas if you go back from now people may find it hard to appreciate. |

one of the best track name ever and quoth is sweet marlowe put your head under fresh water thats my advice for today ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Don't worry, Promo, I'm not one of these new kids to AFX :) I've dug him since '92, but I just never got into Quoth--it just sounded so bad to me :) But I'm aware I'm in a minority, so I won't push it :) |
||||||||

Its been a while since he used his gills, Im sure he appreciates you suggesting fresh water as opposed to stagnant water with low oxygen saturartion. |

we cant forget about early dancefloor oriented aphex stuff- it may sound shitty by modern standarts but this tracks are really essential and classical (talkin of "didgeridoo" for example) and quoth is a fantastic dancefloor-bomb, witch builds up the tension in a very professional way ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
he can use stagnant water as well who cares ? not me! *hides in d bushes* |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Both of those tracks are novelties. Motivated to tire people out with high bpm monotony. |
||||||||
|
|

I rate all of Aphex's tracks. I do agree with marlowe 'Quoth' isn't my favourite track. Wasn't my favourite at the time, I did find it a touch dull. But revisiting it it feels right. I mean I've heard it so many times now anyway. Steamtank, I don't think Aphex's early stuff sounds shitty as you put it by modern standards. Its sounds to me like your new to Aphex to say something like that (no offence). |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
quoth is average and boring no matter the context meaning etc |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
god it is for YOU ! i love quoth, for me everything i know from afx is perfect, thats the music i was made up to listen... even aphex airlines.... :I |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
aphex airlines is magnificent. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i've never even heard quoth. ooh what a surprise. i'm almost too angry to be posting. sorry guys. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, quoth is ok, but... aphex airlines?! PLEEASE :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
mr promo i am talking about the production site of early aphex works- even saw 85-92 sounds shitty in digital-sound-processing era but it is sweet and have this kind of analog magic :) (btw i ve been listening to afx since "come to daddy" ep so you can say i am pretty new to his stuff) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
angry... why so? go look at the sky, it's vast and magnificient |
||||||||
|
|

whats up neetta ? tell me tell me ! bad new years eve celebration? :( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"shitty" may be not a good word for what i was trying to say- "archaic" or "oldschool" would be better |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

sweet analogue dusty breathing oldschool stuff |

Steamtank, I thought you were new to Aphex. I guess I don't know what its like to just get into Aphex and then try and get into his old stuff. Perhaps your right, perhaps for those who've just got into electronic music its hard to appreciate the older stuff. I guess in the same way its hard for us older guys to appreciate all the new stuff. Interesting. |
||||||||
|

i'm super-bored and alone and i didn't even celebrate, just sat home and alone most of the night listening to a freaking war and did i tell you i was bored as i am now and i'm gonna be 3 months without pot and now finally when my bf and the other lads get here they go to the garage to smoke 'so it wouldn't be so bad for me'(like a was some kind of narcomanic!) and i have no computer games to play because my bf did not install me a dos emulator although he promised weeks ago and i'm not skilled enough to do that and i have nothing to read. i have the flu, but not bad enough to be REALLY sick only annoyingly half-sick. and it's -30 outside so i'm sure as hell not going there, not even to look at the sky. and i'm so bad at playing nintendo i can't play mario :( and i have used all the stuff i bought to make shirts during the holidays so i can't make shirts anymore :( to summarize this rant: I'M TOO ULTRABORED AND LEFT WITHOUT ATTENTION I WANT TO (almost) KILL SOMEONE |

i can appreciate his old productions and i am doing it actually- i like "ICBYD" and "SAW2" albums more than "Drukqs" or "Windowlicker ep". although his stuff is much more complex nowadays. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"windowlicker" wasnt a good example... "annou" is fokin brilliant piece. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
drukQs is a step back to the basix... like Draft 7.30 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
:( beuha neetta... try to kill a piece of fourniture at least :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
windowlicker is brilliant. but i don't like druqks. i try and i try but i don't like it. why am i saying this? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
cos its pretty correct... and youre bored you said it... smiley lady :))) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Steamtank, Honestly you don't have to justify it. I guess I can appreciate what you saying you get use to a certain standard of complexity in tracks and going back things can sound primitive in comparison. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
wait some time and you'll see it's a first step to something wonderful and new... it's evolution, baby. it's not necessary that you like all the by-products |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i dont think so mr skyfarmer- "drukqs" is staying in the same point in which mr james ve been standing since his "richard d james" album with a little step toward satie-style piano pieces. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
shit that sentence is so false...!!! *removes from the topic* |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and the synth analog thing like astrobotnia/ovuca stuff or mr wayout thing i d/l yesterday is a step back. a step back with a great style |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
steam, there's some amount of decay there... positive decay... I mean, he won't keep doing these drum things forever. He's going somewhere otherplace while avoiding direct minimalism |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I must confess I am finding it hard to appreciate a lot of the new stuff. Like everybody seems to rave about Venetian Snares and I've listened to it a few times I think its good but he just sounds like a good Squarepusher copiest, thats it really. I mean I wouldn't not listen to it. And Richard Devine again interesting etc but I mean its difficult to get into 'cause there is no music really. I don't know I'll keep trying I guess. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
if you mean druqks? if that is evolution i'm glad to be old-fashioned |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
drukqs old fashioned........ mmmhh i know that is the 2003 computer's bug !!!! kiddin' thats really not one of my afx favs neither, i still like it very much |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well i think he WILL be making a lot of drill complex stuff in the future but he will probably release more piano tracks. and mr promo- i had the same problem with mr snares- i was thinking of his as of a less-talented copy of jenkinson... until i have heard "winter in the belly of a snake" and this album with numbers in the title- he has pusher-like style but he is very very good- and i am sure that i like his works more than jenkinsons last ones. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i dislike them piano tracks. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
evolution makes mistakes, and goes harsh sometimes. drukqs is an example of a temporary by-product... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
druQks is almost best thing ever!!! Quoth has energy, its heavy and raW, I like it Windowlicker EP is quite fantastic! The only bad afx I have heard is on AB3 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
piano tracks... I like Kesson Daslef, it's classic, but the rest just has no point to tip me with I wish he releases some more complicated piano stuff... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
AB3 is nice kiddy techno and I like Avril14 too... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i ve read somewhere that he made more complicated ones. maybe he will release it on MEN records? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i like piano tracks as paino trakcs; chopin for example is highly enjoyable. but i don't like richard doing piano tracks. |
||||||||
