ok, can someone please clarify this once and for all(Grant or someone else). Evidently Synaptic has gotten some info from the label(rephlex) + distributors that Global Goon = AFX. Furthermore, it seems like it sounds like RDJ(see below). I haven't heard it yet. But I thought Grant posted that Global Goon is not RDJ. I'd appreciate it if somone cleared this up. thanks for your time take care andy On Sat, 7 Dec 1996, Synaptic Records wrote:

I thought this album was disappointing. AFX or not, it's not as good as the RDJ album. I think it sounds somewhat like AFX but if I had to guess I'd say it *isn't* him. A little bit too amateurish. On Sat, 7 Dec 1996, Andy wrote:

amateurish. I totally agree with Julius on the last adjective. Been said by my record retailer it was James Roommate effort.. ??? ********************************************************************** Eric "Aleph6" Neurom-X Interactive Communication *********************************************************************

Can someone please e-mail me or post the tracklistings for the viynl & CD versions for the rephlex discography. Haven't gotten my copy yet. Will trade for naked pix. Back to Spymania, _____ / ,-,_) /,_) (/ RESHSPY Live & Direct from the G-Spot, Orange County, California, USA

Actually, I like Global Goon a lot. It's different from the RDJ album, but then his style varies a lot. It sounds a lot like the Mike & Rich album (and a few of his other side projects) and the singing sure sounds like the singing in the RDJ album. (Not one of his strong points, that voice, but it is pretty distinctive.) One other thing, this isn't an AFX album, it's a side project -- he often breaks out of his standard AFX effects -- this is a lot more like the stuff he's done with Mike Paradinas -- similar to the new Gary Moscheles stuff. Different from AFX, but I'll be really shocked if it turns out it's not RDJ. (Mike & Rich could probably also be called "amateurish," it's less hi tech, less highly processed --anyway, hope all you IDMers will give it a listen, I think it's an interesting progression in his work.)
