wtf is this guy saying????

worst fuckin article I have every read.


Aphex Twin is half of a symbiotic set of siblings consisting of Richard D. James and an invisible, robot-like musical machine revolving around him like an orbiting ghost. Sonic ideas and identities bounce back and forth between these schizophrenic antipodes like elastic sunshine as never-before-heard soundscapes are stretched, distorted, destroyed in the ears of surprised listeners. And in that vacuous abyss separating biological from mechanical, old sounds become new sounds, and new sounds become validated by vaporous spasms of beat and bombast.

LOL LOL LOL

well, at least he is enthusiastic. It reads like one of my posts! (At least I have the decency to wince when I read it later)



Let me see if i can paraphrase:

Aphex-Twin to virgin ears, will destroy any mental boundaries you had concerning sources of sound or inspiration, and the treatment of them. He fucking rocks.

I dunno how long that avatar will last - I'm already starting to read my own posts in a Kenneth Williams voice and it's scaring me a bit.

A very funny read. It's so absurdly written that I doubt it was meant to be taken seriously... monty python style. :D

Jesus. I've read and written my share of promo copy for bands and happenings, which are usually even worst stuff than actual reviews. But. This is a bit painful to read, since I don't have a sense of humour. The songtitle "Eclectic is Another Word for Shit" sums up this sort of thing nicely.

Electronic trance music is both a reaction to the anti-intellectual pretensions of institutional ensemble rock and an extrapolation of the wilder forms of Muzak, exotica, easy listening, and space music—forms which are, unfortunately, often dismissed by rock consumers and by the trivia experts who pass themselves off as rock critics.



sorry, are you still talking????
