delia gonzalez & gavin russom - the days of mars

Anyway, I hear linear development -- you don't. 'Nuff said, I guess.

As for the Aphex thing, my point was simply that the same thing was said about him w/ respect to gear. And frankly, a lot more of his stuff sounds boring in retrospect than people would care to admit today. Perhaps I'm making your point, however...

right, the notion that people still genuinely like alot of his music is impossible, they just don't care to admit it's boring.

The Aphex Twin thing is on some serious omgwtf shit though. Just because two artists made their own gear doesn't mean their music sounds alike, or even if it does, that there's a necessary universal love of one to the exclusion of the other. Some people will love D&G because they made their own gear without actually listening to the music. Some people loved RDJ for the same reasons. This doesn't mean appreciation of that fact means you'll like both artists, or either, or that you can't enjoy the music and also like the self-made approach. Or hate the music and, etc etc.

And amon, perhaps you could take this a touch less personally -- Matos was the one I was jibing, it was in good fun/jest/etc., and frankly, it was based on what now appears to be someone who was just making fun of his posts here.

Re. Aphex, I'm just saying that there's a good argument to be made that a lot of Aphex's music is a lot less compelling today than it appeared a decade ago. I'm saying that some people may not be jumping to say they loved it then and feel less enthused about it today because some people just don't like to admit when they're wrong.

And this was related to Delia and Gonzalez only in the sense that if people were using their "building their own gear thing" as a mystique-builder, well, I think we can all agree the mystique's been peeled off Aphex these last few years. So let's just save us all the trouble of rehashing it for these guys. Who are fine, but hardly Aphex at his apex even.

Ok?

Ok.

i just think it funny to say that to like aphex's music you must have some ulterior motive ("they were wrong, blinded by mystique, they won't admit it yet") and yet delia & gonzales detractors must not understand the music ("they just don't get it")

God, you're so unwelcome in Miami!

Anyway, my point is that you're completely by a few universes missing the point of dG&gR, so climb off your super-rocket.

This is exactly why I like it! Early analogue sequencer TD and terry Riley are awesome.

I think they did a one off for Kosmiche radio show in london last year but it went under my radar.

might solve the presets and left the room debate.

I know there's a DFA night in mid-november sometime

NOV 12 2005: Metz France w/CocoRosie @ Salle Ochs

NOV 18 London England w/ DJ Tim Goldsworthy & Tim Sweeney @ Plastic People
NOV 19 Glasgow Scotland w/ DJ Tim Goldsworthy & Tim Sweeney @ Glasgow School of Art

I totally cant wait.

If i had my druthers..Id go to the art school.

but them and optimo at the artschool might be too orangey for this crow.

it's like that but not as interesting or good. which isn't to say it's bad, it just doesn't do anything for me that early kraftwerk/td/oldfield/Jean Michel Jarre don't do.

Also they have a live show worth listening to here:feed://feeds.feedburner.com/ourdisco

Ha ha that's great. This is a track that always makes me think "wait, am I hearing a remix?" It's so current sounding.

Christ I hope it does. The "ABA"/"#5" part is hands-down my favorite part of the Holiday Mix.

What's the Baby Ford mix sound like? I've never even heard of them before,
