  1. I recognised some samples from the movie Matilda (yes, another Roald Dahl flick...). Still looking for the relevant youtube clips, but I'm fairly certain he sampled the crap out of that movie. edit: or some Roald Movie apart from that Chalrie Wonka thing. also, i'm in bed with a fever so don't expect ready made answers. i simply can not be arsed. but if you think about it, the relation is obvious: he has a thing for Roald Dahl.
  2. King Of Limbs. I'm sure it's not a problem if I go into the album-titles section?
  3. There aren't many dutch speaking members, but whatever...
  4. sorry, the best trailer made is still the original Alien trailer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEVY_lonKf4 Seconded. That's even better than the entire movie itself! *boner*
  5. The behavior comparison is irrelevant unless you're comparing the records, because you could have said that it was like people being disappointed about the new Radiohead album, or any such situation where there was disappointment for a release that a lot of people were apprehensive about. You chose three brilliant, initially misunderstood releases by RDJ though, which, whether you intended it to or not, is saying that this is on the same level. I don't blame Monolith by any means, because he is talented in his own way, and he doesn't deserve this. It's Rephlex's fault that it's been received this way, and Rephlex's alone. They set it up as a big release, put it out near the end of the year in an extremely sparse year, and it just wasn't good enough to stand up to the pressure. Let's talk again in a couple of years and then decide how relevant your current 'insights' are. And what makes you think that Rephlex set it up as a big release? Have I missed some billboards? Commercials? They must be marketing wizards having no cash to spend on marketing, but having people to believe their releases are big anyways. Brilliant work. Perhaps they're being run by the holy Steve Jobs. In stores soon: the new iRephlex. I have no idea what it does other than giving you some sense of being ridiculed.
  6. Are you fucking kidding me? You're honestly comparing this to Drukqs, and you're accusing people disappointed with Welcome of trolling? Drukqs: timeless, intricate, beautiful, still holding up like it was new after 10 years Welcome: basic, fun for a laugh and bit of dancing, already sounded dated on the day it was released. It's not like Welcome is going to sound better with time, so that is totally ridiculous. Listen kids, I wasn't comparing records. I was comparing behavior: the bitching right after the release of drukqs. And specifically the behavior you punks are displaying in this thread. Now please get on with your lives, because I really don't have the time to listen to your whining about this record anymore.
  7. Christmas '21 will finally see the release of the Family James electronic orchestra sonata's. Those would be some fucked up Jingle Bells.
  8. Tough crowd. Remember the bitching after releasing Drukqs? Or the Tuss releases? The Analords? The pattern is obvious. The trolling tiresome. *watches clock...* O, it's that time again
  9. If I didn't know better, I would have thought you implied the father, the sun, and the holy spirit were one and the same. And thus, Dave is Richie? But I know better. I believe.
  10. Seconded. For me, this is not a one-sitting album. But the individual tracks definitely match the expectations. There are so many things happening in the individual tracks, listening to everything in one sitting just creates an overload. My feeble mind just can't handle al the twists and turns. This album is a grower. I don't understand all the negativity in this thread, really.
  11. So much so that it has got to be the real plot, imo. It doesn't seem like something someone would pull out of his/her finger with the goal of writing a prequel to alien. No way.
  12. #932 arrived. First thing I did upon arrival: download a rip from my favorite supplier. Mental note: 24bit96khz flac still sounds like crap when sourced from crappy vinyl.
  13. Funny, I always assumed there had to be an Enya influence in there somewhere. My IDM-dar must be working alright!
  14. ^^^ this. The original was a favorite of that album, but I can't help but feel underwhelmed by this remix.
  15. Awe's mom should be the spokesperson of the Autechre subforum. If we're looking for a definitive opinion on anything Autechre related; look no further than Awe's mom. She can cut those boys into pieces with those words of steel.
  16. O dear, I accidentally pressed "buy". Crap. I guess I'm one of the "happy few" now. :-/
  17. What! No clip of the other track? Ridiculous! *complaining is an art*
  18. REally digging Moby's remix of krakpot atm. Apart from the basskick it hasn't got much to do with the original (which is a classic by itself), but this track has all the ingredients what made Moby good in the beginning of the nineties. This track oozes euphoric xtc. This fits right up there with Go. edit: disappointed with the "mixed into one track" albums. you might as well activate cross fade in itunes. basically the same.
  19. i was in the middle of my teenage angst period and very susceptible to anything which had three cords and depressive lyrics. and like a true idm'er couldn't fit in with the grunge crowd. the drunken jesus look just wasn't mine to wear. but looking back at it, it had some empowering effect on all the potheads, i guess. in an instant they all became musicians in one way or another. which is always good.
