| __________________________________ [Sep 2,2009 11:50am - brian_dc ""] Slightly different, but yeah...close. bennyhillifier |
| __________________________________ [Sep 2,2009 11:51am - brian_dc ""] now this is an awesome version of The Bad Plus totally ripping of Aphex Twin...wiiiink bennyhillifier |
| _________________________________________________ [Sep 2,2009 11:54am - the_taste_of_cigarettes ""] Whoa...that Bad Plus song is pretty close, too. That's like my favorite Aphex Twin song, too. Oh well. |

| __________________________________ [Sep 2,2009 12:19pm - brian_dc ""] They covered Flim. Flim is an older Aphex Twin song than Avril 14th. I hear some similarity. So, I guess Aphex Twin was pretty close to sounding like Aphex Twin |

| _________________________________ [Sep 2,2009 12:21pm - Martins ""] People like Aphex Twin? |
| __________________________________ [Sep 2,2009 12:21pm - brian_dc ""] Some of us were in high school before Brand New was the shit. |
| _________________________________ [Sep 2,2009 12:27pm - MikeOv ""] Martins said:People like Aphex Twin? You say that like it's a bad thing. |
| _________________________________ [Sep 2,2009 12:35pm - Martins ""] Because age has to do with liking (shitty) electronic music? I just don't get this kind of music. There's no feel. If I'm in the mood for electronic music, I'll just throw on some BoC, or Kraftwerk, or Bibio, or Helios or all the other electronic artists that do it better. Just sayin' |
| __________________________________ [Sep 2,2009 12:36pm - brian_dc ""] you listen to a song like flim and hear shit? |
| _________________________________ [Sep 2,2009 12:37pm - Martins ""] Given, I haven't listened to that particular song. I'm at work and can't but I had a friend that got hardcore into Aphex Twin and would show me stuff all the time and I hated all of it. |
| _________________________________ [Sep 2,2009 12:38pm - MikeOv ""] Boards of Canada = lol Listen to Autechre or Donnacha Costello and then talk to us about electronic music. I never understood the "getting it" argument. You either like something or you don't. |
| _________________________________ [Sep 2,2009 12:41pm - Martins ""] Not getting it = not liking it and lolling at BoC? lol |
| _________________________________ [Sep 2,2009 12:43pm - MikeOv ""] Can I ask, what is there to get? And LOL at thinking BoC is a shining example of electronic music. The only decent album was Music has the right to children. So yes, LOL. |
| _________________________________ [Sep 2,2009 12:44pm - Martins ""] lol at us lolling at lols about eLOLtronic music. |

| _________________________________ [Sep 2,2009 12:49pm - MikeOv ""] Technical? Haha, I judge electronic music based off of mood and feeling. It transports me to another world, so that's what I get out electronic & ambient music. |

This kinda shows just how clueless you are about the whole subject. Pretty much every aphex twin album is completely different so there is a good chance you might like at least one of them. We're talking about one of the most prolific electronic artists who has experimented with just about every genre of electronic from acid house to ambient.. Autechre is probably my favorite artist of this genre though. Seeing them live at the middle east last year was amazing. Aphex and all his other side projects are a close second. |

At least have an educated criticism and not the retarded drivel that is making my fingers type this post. |

| _____________________________________ [Sep 2,2009 1:06pm - quintessence ""] hahaha, yeah i was pretty spun out. |
| ________________________________ [Sep 2,2009 1:10pm - MikeOv ""] It's also pretty obvious he used analog synths just by being familiar with the "Analord" series. But nah, that's not a dead giveaway. |

| ______________________________ [Sep 2,2009 1:21pm - Slag ""] I was at that autechre gig with Arkturous. I'm going to go out on a limb and say Aphex's best album is "I care because you do" with the Hangable Auto Bulb series and SAW 2 in close succession. |
| ________________________________ [Sep 2,2009 1:24pm - C.dEad ""] "Melodies From Mars" is up there. |
| ______________________________ [Sep 2,2009 1:28pm - aril ""] Ok, here are some of my 2 cents, or at least a half of a cent. Keep in mind I didn't really read this thread but LOLed at what I saw. You think metal has a bunch of sub-genres? Look at electronic music. In fact, I think the history of electronic music may even be more fascinating than the history of metal. Why? Because it's gone in so many different directions and has been all over the musical spectrum - and then back again. What REALLY irks me is people that listen only to Trance, and then claim to be huge fans of electronic music. Electronic music usually relates to the technology at the time, and can also be extremely trendy. We all remember when Trance was hugely popular and a bunch of tools thought they were so cool for listening to "techno." Electronic music, like metal, is a vast universe of sounds and musicians, but people only really listen to the tip of the iceberg with it.. unless they're real fans. To mock or underestimate Aphex Twin's achievements and accomplishments within modern electronic music is intolerable. I'll leave this thread shaking my head in disappointment, Martins. |

| ________________________________ [Sep 2,2009 1:49pm - Martins ""] Have, it was stupid. |
| ______________________________ [Sep 2,2009 1:50pm - Slag ""] I disagree with the above statements by aril and C.Dead. I don't like reason... but Fruity Loops is the easiest sequencer to use, hands down. Reason is limiting in that it forces you to use the synths provided with the software... Fruity Loops allows VST and DXi plugins. Fruity is not a cheat to use vs. any other software (Cubase, Logic, etc).... and allows great functionality in conjunction with hardware midi devices and synths. It's a good tool for what it does. |

I was always opposed to programs like these. Just makes shit way simple and takes out the fun for me. Fuck, I never even recorded digitally with analog sequencers/drum/bass/loop/whathaveyou machines. I am not one of those analog elitists either (though I do prefer it), I am just broke and analog is always the cheaper, easier way to go. Thats just my two gay cents. |
| ______________________________ [Sep 2,2009 2:59pm - aril ""] I'm pretty much on the same page as C.dEad . It always felt like the computer/sequencers did all the work. Making electronic music to me was always fun because I got to experiment with sounds, samples, and all that jazz. I don't like when the software does all that crap for you. |
