So that they can lay claim to their sound being the sound of the future and no-one elses, of course... :) they're not even londoners. (but i do like their music tho) -- Ben Coffer Hybrid Productions http://www.hybridgame.demon.co.uk/

Oh boy, you just seem to have a chip on your shoulder towards each other, or what? Bitter people, you artists, aren't you? Now, if we only got The Future Sound of London's blokes to this list too, so you could all start bitchin' against each other ;) Hey guys, Love Is The Message :) your pHinnish mate (we pHinns are experts in organising peace summits, y'know :), ekku the maintainer of pHinnWeb - everything u ever wanted to know about Finnish techno scene but were too afraid of the reindeer trerra@uta.fi | http://www.uta.fi/~trerra | http://www.sci.fi/~phinnweb

Phlangeface is a prankster, and every one of his posts to IDM is a troll for people who take him seriously. Ken Downie does seem a little high on the bitter and twisted scale, but who am I to judge... And given the brevity and indirection of Ken's reply I'd say he showed great restraint and good humor. I'd love to see a good pissing match on IDM between these two actually... the problem with flame wars is they're usually dreadfully dull. A real barn burner of a flame war between combatants of equal skill and intelligence is a thing of beauty and a joy forever. Check, if you're curious the Analogue Heaven archive for the Mr808/DAC Crowell wars of 1995 .... --------------------------------------------------------------------- "i love the smell of new carpet. it makes me dizzy. just like when you fall in love." -- Mike Dvorkin Home Page, featuring Reagan on Black Velvet, the EMP Compilation CD, samples of my music, etc http://soli.inav.net/~kent/ Kent Williams kent@inav.net CADSI 2651 Crosspark Road Coralville IA 52241 (319) 338 6053 (home) (319) 626 6700 x 219 (work) (319) 626 3488 (fax)

Hi Erkki, > Now, if we only got The Future Sound of London's blokes > to this list too, so you could all start bitchin' against > each other ;) Wicked! what a party! :) I know it's childish, and I should know better, but my mischevious side revels in it. sorry, if you've taken offence. yes, five years down the road and the name "FSOL" *does* sound a little contrived. But at least they're still putting out material that they believe in. They could have easily gone down the "shamen" road to pop stardom, but chose not to. That means a lot to me. They're not my particular cup of tea, it's true. but they're still as deserving of your hardearnt (imho), as any stuff put out by dick. ...was the point i was trying to make.

Because they thought of the name first. Why is the 'Aphex Twin' the 'Aphex Twin'? There's at most one Aphex Twin, and he has nothing to do with the manufacturer of the Aphex Aural Exciter, Dominator, and other fine audio tools. Will London, in the future, sound like FSOL? Does it already? Does it matter? And are you one of those girls for whom time stops once a month? It's M A R K E T I N G. --------------------------------------------------------------------- "i love the smell of new carpet. it makes me dizzy. just like when you fall in love." -- Mike Dvorkin Home Page, featuring Reagan on Black Velvet, the EMP Compilation CD, samples of my music, etc http://soli.inav.net/~kent/ Kent Williams kent@inav.net CADSI 2651 Crosspark Road Coralville IA 52241 (319) 338 6053 (home) (319) 626 6700 x 219 (work) (319) 626 3488 (fax)

You mean the blokes that pointed out in a Sound On Sound interview that the Aphex Twit's vaunted "homebuilt" instruments were nothing more than a bit of stock analogue kit run through a distortion pedal? Maybe it's because they realize that hype will take you a lot farther than talent in the music biz. Chill Che

Somebody called my house today who I said I would show around the hood so he could check out the local shops. Please call me again, your message left on the awnsering machine got deleted. (sorry everyone else) afx wrote:

Speaking of DAC, has anyone heard from him lately? an e-mail address or any contact info would be much appreciated. Feel free to take it off-list, if apropos. Cheers, - Steven J http://barkingcat.org/

Oh, this mailing list is getting better from day to day. Maybe the rest of us should all shut up and we should only let the artists do the talking. This could be such an enjoyable place. I`m really looking forward to this. Please get the FSOL guys and the Hartnoll-brothers too. Where are you?????? Heiko
