I'd have to agree wholeheartedly. This always reminds me of those
discussions about how all modern painting sucks; I could have thought of
that, etc. If so, _why didn't you_!!! If you can really produce stuff as
good as AFX, (and I don't doubt that you can) why aren't you getting this
out there? I'd sure like to hear it.
As to the general point of this discussion, I'd have to refer to an alt.rave
poster's argument about why I think AFX is great. _Who else_ has done the
volume of _excellent_ tracks like Richard? In my case, I ask: who else has
done as much stuff as good as the following:
Analogue Bubblebath
Digeridoo
(the 1st track on xylem - damn! i'm not near my lp's) Polynomial-C or
something - you know the one before Tamphex
1st, 8th, and 11th tracks off AB#3 CD
Ageispolis
Green Calx
Blue Calx
Hedphlegm or whatever
Polygon Window
Quixote
Quinophec
That's 13 amazing trax...
