hi idmers,
last night as i skimmed through the 2nd global goon lp (pink girl on
cover) i thought to myself "this has got to be the aphex twin!"
it sounds like what would have been the softer side of richard james
from 1993-1995
the tracks also sounded older than the first "goon" lp
any theories on this? is it DEFINATELY NOT rdj or just maybe his
supposed ex-roomate?
i also had a quick listen to afx's 'hangable auto bulb' 1 and i
thought to call the whole schematic, choc ind.,MAS worm
interface..movement 'clones of autechre' seem unfair as this e.p. must
of had just as powerful an effect on today's hype-rprogrammers.
melodically autechre is probally the greater influence as the twin's
melodies are a bit too exuberant compared to the clones, but the rythm
programming on h.a.b.1 must of been a huge ifluence on these guys.
also on this subject...i probably would have bought the new solar x lp
but a friend played me some tracks off it that were such rdj rip-offs
that i felt mad at solar x for being such a copy cat. seriously, there
is a track that sounds exactly like one of the darker tracks on rdj's
'girl/boy' ep. there's a fine line netween being influenced by someone
and being a wanna-be
peace to all- adrien
