Aphex Twin‘s Caustic Window Kickstarter

[hubb]

I don't get how people could not rate this stuff

Who was this aimed at?

[DiegoSapiens]

nah the tuss stuf is miles away from afx

[hubb]

as in Davis, right?

[Genevieve]

Aphex Twin's best shit

[hubb]

It's definitely not this but fun to see how afx still pays attention to dance music.

I own that release. It's 10 years old now though.

One of the reviews on discogs is pretty funny.

Now, I'm not a huge fan of ragga, but ragga-jungle-drill 'n' bass? I think it's a genius combination, one that only the demented mind of Mr. James could discover.

Or Alec Empire 10 years before that release? And the gigantic scene of mash-up ragga breakcore he spawned? IDM kids are funny.

[hubb]

Exactly.
Although I know remarc was very much into squarepusher, so there's sort of a circle thing going on.

[DiegoSapiens]

squarepusher has amazing tunes but also other incredibly wak and tacky

[hubb]

it's easy though it just anything newer than ultravisitor

same with venetian snares, from dada whatever and on

[hubb]

tbf squarepusher has tunes so good they should form parts of the 'human canon'.

[hubb]

Genevieve, you dont happen to have any info, sc or recentish tracks from that 'repeater' dude (peace off etc) do you ?

[Genevieve]

Exactly.

Sources? I believe it, though. They were doing similar things back then. I consider early Squarepusher pretty much jungle.

It's not that I don't think Aphex Twin or Squarepusher or any of those folks didn't contribute to jungle or drum & bass. Just the fans who single them out as inventors. They were mostly bandwagon jumpers (which is fair, most musicians are).

Genevieve, you dont happen to have any info, sc or recentish tracks from that 'repeater' dude (peace off etc) do you ?

Haha! I used to host a breakcore night in my old city and we had Rotator play one of them and I asked him about Repeater. Apparently, Rotator's been BEGGING Repeater to release more tunes, but no dice. He's just not into it anymore.

To people wondering who we're talking about:



One of the sickest ragga breakcore producers.

Fedora please

[hubb]

I dont think i've ever agreed this much

We used to have a connection with shitmat, wrongmusic and bangface, relating to bookings. I spoke with remarc and squarepusher was apparently the magic word.

Repeater was so fucking dope aaarghh

It's more of a fedora notion to discount the times we're living in. Like imo Lil B is an actual deity, squarepusher is the alienjazz bass god and that's fine.

[wolf89]

There's so much total shit by squarepusher too though

[hubb]

Did you just happen to read the word repeater and then that post just had to be made.

[wolf89]

you are getting far too excited over someone who has a really inconsistent back catalogue though

[hubb]

Ok, i'll take cues from bloodhound gang man now.

go dj somewhere

[hubb]

he's got the frontdog backcat !
