  1. Really nice to have the chance to sit down and revisit this unappreciated release, I can't have listened to it more than 10 times since I first heard it 15 or so years ago. I always quite enjoyed it but some of the good feeling was tarnished by a very arch mid-90s easy-listening and almost big beat vibe and the nagging feeling that both artists were just noodling about here and selfishly saving their best melodies and ideas for their own later solo releases.

    but now a combination of factors, (the aggressive remaster job, the charmingly dumb bonus tracks, finding out it was actually made in 94) have really made me enjoy it a lot more. I can hear Perrey-Kingsley in there, and similar ground to the soundcloud trax of that era.

    Mikes strange little reverbed sine melodies playing utopian supermarket musak mixing in with Aphex's sloppy crunchy distortion works a treat. Mr Frosty sounds like Jake Slazenger remixing Acrid Avid Jam Shred, Eggy Toast is subdued but with a serpentine AFX lead. It is very tongue in cheek insofar as Mike & Rich both know thier listeners know these synth lines are cheesey as fuck, but I believe now it comes from a real non-ironic love of cheesey as fuck synth lines.

    I must have listened to it ten times last year!

    Did anyone notice that knob selling the tape on discogs for £20000 or whatever it was

    Listening to it on Spotify. I am underwhelmed. Where is the innovation? It's music by some 40+ guy who ran out of ideas.

    Underwhelmed in an absolute zero kind of way. All hail goes to Ae who are still interesting.

    I need to stop being disappointed. I am surprised how much praise there is for RDJ still after all his mini-mediocre stuff.

     

    What a load of shit. This EP is just as fantastic as the rest of Richard's music, if you don't like it stop listening to it mate.

     

    and you don't have to get touchy about someone's opinion, if you don't like an opinion, stop reading them m8

  3. Bandcamp app is amazing, fact and I can get vinyl with flac included and streaming wherever without a sub is great. Also makes me feel closer to artists interacting with them directly.

     

    Lolled at Aurora Halal for messaging me asking for more postage for Shapeshifter EP as she messed up the cost when posting. (Paid it of course)

     

    In Richard news, I see he was sighted going to see Russell Haswell at Café Oto the other day. A few pics on Russell's twitter machine.

    Shapeshifter you say?
  4. I had a dream where nobody posted in this thread until there was actually something meaningful to discuss...

    Try the jaiPaul thread on kanyetothe, cept the admin wouldn't never go near that thread, he just lets all the users moan there's no interesting posts being made.

     

    Generally consensus is, any posts is good posts.

  5. just noticed this on his profile...

    New status on the SC, good to see some activity and a very good point made at that

     

     

     

    Martin Niemöller: "First they came for the Socialists…"

    First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—

    Because I was not a Socialist.

    Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—

    Because I was not a Trade Unionist.

    Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—

    Because I was not a Jew.

    Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

    you can swap jews for muslims now and then you realise we are in grave danger.

    check your inbox Richard ;)

    u didn't!

     

     

    I did :P Gotta keep the door open.

     

    Anyone who wanted to throw in, pm me

     

    bruuuh, that is a nice gesture but very foolish, you should have asked him first, i mean who knows what he's planning to do, maybe he wants to start a new account or even leave soundwank forever

    you do get your money back if he doesn't accept it right? right??? :mellow::catcry:

     

    Ahh leave him alone, Richard thrives on this kind of thing, the gesture alone will be enough to secure YEARS of new music, you know that.
