yeah...so like why does AFX seem to win all these awards and get on charts and Ae is left in the dust? im not saying in this thread that Ae is better or whatever or that AFX is better...im just wondering why ae seems to be really...away from everything...like no one really notices them...does anyone actually care about Ae? |
||||||||
|

because Aphex is pretty and both of Autechre are ugly bastards..................oh i'm sorry mr. autechres, i didn't mean it................ |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
afx is not too noticed after rdj album imo |
||||||||
|

I love em more than any band and I like em to be underground. I hope they stay that way. But hey, they're not getting ignored by any means. heck, they're curating ATP 2003. |
||||||||

ae's music is probably just too out there for most people to get into, and afx's music like windowlicker and sawI are more listenable |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
( Ae ) they don't put gimmicks into their songs,.. they dont strive to create interest,.. no,.. they get the listener to do all the hard work,. most people can't be bothered,.. but remember th first time you heard "ventolin" "come to daddy" "powerpil pac man" "windowlicker",... they demand attention,.. force you to listen to them,.. which means that more people take notice of AFX,.. this I think,.. is why |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
do you wear a hearing aid? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
AFX gets more media-attention - this has grown through the years. AFX was seen as the 'mozart of electronic music' etc. etc. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
cos Ae don't make music remotely accessible to 99% of the population. i'm not faulting them for that, they're obviously doing what they want and don't care about winning awards. but yea, don't be surprised people haven't heard of or intensely hate Ae since it's not easy to get into at all. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, i'm too working class to like Ae |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
come on.. its not that hard.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
not for you and i but i don't think i'm off the mark. 99% is of the total world population, if you want to narrow it down to people between 18-25 in all continents except africa and south america (this is getting silly, isn't it?) then i'd say Ae is inaccessible to just 75% of that population. my point is, we're very biased about the music and it's hard for us to distance ourselves from it and see it from the eyes of, say, the grammy's (now THERE's the bastion of good taste in music, hahaha) or your average 16 year old. i'm not saying Ae is the least accessible group on the planet, it's just very inaccessible to almost everyone. |

I agree on what titsworth said. we're such a small percentage...lol im sure in the end awards won't matter when only like.. 3000 people voted for against the what...millions who vote for grammies or whatever...or those vote by phone/website shows... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
okay.. I hadn't gathered you were looking at the entire world population.. I agree. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
wicked sweet |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so they don't win awards because theyre not accessable or 'difficult' to listen to? not becasue theyre dull & repetative then? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
:O are you calling ae dull and repetative?!?!?!?! SWINE!! Ae should win an award called: Award for "Most cool cause its so incredibly inaccessable". a bit of sarcasm there but you know what i mean... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I agree about the ''gimmicks''... a lot of AE sounded the same to me, at first... there weren't any really obvious hooks. You really have to get to know the tracks, and then they take on a life and identity of their own. Tough to get into, obviously. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
thats how a lot of AFX seems to me.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
thank you ophecks |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ae's music is its own reward... :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ae rules awards sucks if they had one they will suck a little so i hope they ll dont get any :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i wonder when the grammys will start recognizing electronic music in thier awards... by the time they get around to it, all the inovators that deserve the reward will have passed, and they probably wouldnt even know that they were the innovators |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that's an ignorant attitude, glass_eater Zeus: the dance category in the grammy awards is a joke |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
then again, their nominees for every category are a joke. when the grammy's start giving awards to people based on their artistic merit instead of their record label pull with the judges and the album sales maybe then i'll take their selections seriously. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh shit, i didnt even know that there was one! whos won? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i wouldnt mind winning an oscar for a film score though... that would be pretty cool |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i dunno who's won, i bet the official grammy site has past winner lists tho oscars tend to be less driven by bullshit but obviously it's still a very contentious fare |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i like the way u juge me titsworth its funny! ignorant is my ass... :pp |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah but i just think it would be "cooler" to win an oscar for a film score, then a grammy for whatever say what you will, but if i could win an oscar, it would rock. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The Grammys are ridiculous... Homer Simpson had the right idea when the B-Sharps won a Grammy and he tossed it out the hotel window. God bless you Homer J. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i said it's contentious, i didn't say i disliked the academy awards.. especially for film scores, special fx, makeup, set design, etc. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i looked at grammys.com the only thing i saw that was close to an electronic catagory was "Remixers" give me a break and i never heard of any of them pffft tits: sorry, misunderstood you |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
they have a best dance category, keep trying.. if it's not there then look up a grammy web site on google that might have most lists |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
heheh,.. homer rules |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
found a site "Dance recording: Who Let The Dogs Out - Baha Men " oh my god |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
That's not a very funny joke, IMHO... ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
is it a reasonable assumption that some of the world's most talented artists are unmentioned? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Reasonable, but unmentioned by whom... :/ |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ROTF! @ Zeus!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
interesting question... I care about ae... they are my favs |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well in 2001 Janet Jackson won Best Dance Recording for All For You. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Because most of the popular music press acknowledge RDJ's skill, whereas as many magazines seem to genuinely think Autechre are a) Noise and b) Taking the piss. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
they do both so well though... |
