hehehe :-) ok let me star over: I am newbie TO THIS BOARD. I loooooooove RDJ's music (for years and years now) and i heard something last night that sounded like him but was released anonymously on "Who is behind the mask" #3. To get all the superfluous questions out of the way: 1.Its no ME and has nothing to do with ME 2.WBtM#3 is so old none of the online record stores carry it so i can't find you any mp3's if you don't know what i'm talking about. 3.ITS NOT ME :) To summarize :-) if you have it or know what i'm talking about let me know what your opinion of this track is it sounded suspiciously like analogue bubblebath#4 kind of style to me. please reply if you know what i'm talking about :-) I am not trying to sell you anything I've just gotten curious who some of these anonymous artists are.

As we just had a nice little argument about, this is an email list, and message boards are evil. But don't worry; it's a newbie mistake and you're a self-proclaimed newbie, so it's OK! :D

Well, I haven't heard the track, but if it's untitled, it could be (a) a track he made and submitted a long time ago for whatever that record is, and for some reason left his name off of it or (b) a track done by someone else aping RDJ's style. Not hard to do a few years ago, back before the RDJ album came out, or (c) an unauthorized copy of a more rare RDJ track you haven't heard. All are possible, sure, but I doubt it's him. Why? Most of the RDJ stuff, even the stuff under really weird names, has been found by now. A while back, every questionable release from Warp, Rephlex, and a few other labels were instantly given the title of "by RDJ under a new pseudonym." It was easy because there wasn't a lot of publicity for these other artists. Heck, people even thought Global Goon and that Johnny guy was RDJ. And if you listen to older rephlex stuff, or even older warp stuff, a lot of it sounds like the Analog Bubblebath record. Sadly, there's not a lot unique about the record other than being a damn fine EP. Now, if it was a dead ringer for something like "logon rock witch," I'd seriously consider it, but techno-styled tracks are a dime a dozen. Anyway, sorry to rain on your parade, but enjoy the list anyway! :D derek ------- eggytoast.com ------- coming soon: eggtastic.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
