What interests me is the number of posts saying "if this is aphex, its crap", while (many of) those who think its not aphex seem to quite like it... personally, I think thought it was pretty shonky, some good(ish) dsp work but pretty lame musically. That being said, its just my taste... whether it's aphex releasing some bad material (and according to a lot of people, he's been doing worse than this...) or someone trying to get attention by sticking the name aphex twin on their track, its a bad thing either way. There's been a lot of this 'put (autechre remix) after your trackname' type stuff on napster to promote people's music, which is kinda lame, but makes sense marketing-wise... after all, how many people would never have heard marumari if not for the so-called 'boc-marumari' tracks? I suppose what I mean is, I don't mind so much, as long as its actually good. Oh, and if this does turn out to be aphex after all, I'm going to be laughing for a long time... Anyways, sorry for the long post, at least it was on topic :) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
