Youngsters these days...

Stephen you are being rude. Please don't make me call the Prime Minister.

Shaking the habitual is awesome. wtf.

 

Agreed.

 

I really didn't like it, but that's because I was hoping for a follow-up to Silent Shout, not Tomorrow, In A Year (which is what shaking was, really).

The Tuss is certainly no-one other than Richard D James, for anyone that has ears.

 

 

says the man who thinks this is a good example of aphex's amen use

Don't forget this one as well :p ...

That violin is a CLEAR example of Aphex's use of violins for anyone who have ears.

That steamingturd.gif is a CLEAR example of a StephenG for anyone who has mind

O gosh, never knew that aphex was into making middle of the road electronic music.

 

I heard DJ Aphex made this mix as well, btw:

 

awesumzzzz!!! :D :D :D !!!1

90% of his released work in the early 90s is "middle of the road".

 

It's not like everything the guy touches is gold. A lot of the analogue bubblebath tracks are shit. A lot of his early EPs are shit.

 

A lot of his music is incredible.

You werent listening to this stuff in the 90s, were you?

Exactly.

When I first heard ON in 94, it blew my fucking mind. I quickly gobbled up everything I could find by him and all of it was leaps an bounds ahead of anything anyone else was doing at the time.

I highly doubt anyone who heard RDJ's early 90s stuff, when it was new, would say it was shit.

Even by today's standards, I still completely disagree.

Keep smoking crack, StephenG.

 

Easy killer.

Maybe at the time yeah it was ahead of the game. I didn't start listening to this type of music until a bit later than most of you. I think RDJ album was my first "IDMzzz" album but that wasn't even at the time it came out.

Yeah, a lot of his work is "middle of the road". Even classics like Isopropophlex or didgeridoo sound extremely dated, compared to all of the music we have access to now.

If you're comparing tracks like "Elephant Song" to rdj's most recent work like the metz track or any of The Tuss.... Well then I don't think it's me smoking the crack! lol

It's pretty unsettling stuff. I just prefer the first one. No particular reason.

Don't you have something better to do? Go spend time with your kid or something.

Dial 000 it goes straight to his red and white phone with the beaver on it!

lol

y'all end up listening to the star wars remix... yay :B

Anything and can possible do!

This is the prime minster speaking, stephen, wouldn't it have been easier just to be wrong the first time rather than going on for pages and pages subtly qualifying a shifting target. heh .. LUDD was gently prodding at your occasional but obvious misfires.

plz don't get mad, but yaknow. That's kind of why i said it, cause you would, but maybe this time you'll think, hrmm, why. And then a wave of all good will wash over you as you sympathise and align with the wisdom of the board ancients.

Thanks Prime Minister Harper and also thanks for not arming Syrian rebels.

Not 'arming them or secretly arming and harbouring them when they come back for an holiday break at all.

I hear original stuff all of the time. But when you think: "Man, I think all of the spectrums of possible music have been covered." You're immediately feedbacking yourself since you aren't thinking of something original on the spot for yourself, and you're using that as evidence for your proposition that it isn't possible to be original anymore. I know the feeling though. It stays there until you hear something new and you realize that you needed that.

I would agree with that. Seems very defeatist to think that it isn't possible to create anything new any more. It is possible, just hasn't happened yet, or maybe it has and it hasn't been released. Things come and go in cycles. It'll happen, the question is when. Aphex and Autechre et al will probably still be making music when they're OAPs, so there's still time yet. Difficult to imagine what stuff will sound like in 40 years time. Remove all influences that you hear now and that's probably the only way to originate something genuinely new.

lol, ^^^ that avatar. The most animated I've ever seen the man as he Thom Yorke DJ-points to the crowd.

Short answer: Yes.

Long answer: What kind of fucking question is that?

Longer answer: Yes.

Exactly, of course it's yes.

It's so yes, there isn't even a need to ponder on it not being yes.

Imo :P

Flash forward 20 years and some other young StephenG-type posts in a thread about how The Tuss and the metz track are "shit", "middle of the road" and "dated".

Yes, somewhere the notion of "historical relevance" seems completely lost. A result of living in the instant gratification age?

Probably! Most music isn't "timeless" in any sense of the word.

I'll get off your lawn now. lol

Not really. Just because I understand something's importance and historical relevance doesn't mean I MUST appreciate it above everything else. I'd rather have a 2005 vette' than a 1960'. Both beautiful but one is clearly a better performer. Loose analogy, I know....

I'm sure your home computer isn't an apple 2 or something just because it had historical relevance.
