Y'all probably want me to run the website now?

"Omnii created a support request" Omnii: LOL i forgot i filled out a ticket when i tried to delete the thread Joyrex: It was an email but w/e \Make it public again, honestly my reasoning in the ticket was BS, i just figured it would work. I only wanted it down because like i said earlier, it backfired and had not become entertaining yet.

LOL i forgot i put in a ticket when i was trying to figure out how to delete it.

I made some shirts/hoodies using some of my album art if anyone is interested in wearing obscure clothing or whatever. https://teespring.com/stores/dollarstore-keyboard

Anyone could claim to be a part of Cult 48 though. This person also made this post the same day they joined Twoism so i give it 0 credibility on that alone. Also what this person writes on Twoism is: "The person making the allegations was never a member of Cult48." which does not contradict the alleged claims against the group. The person who claimed they had their music released as Cult 48 was indeed NOT part of it and was not even informed. Seems like that was the problem.

Haha oh, sorry, i TOTALLY misunderstood what you were getting at.

OK. You want them to weigh in on how "there is nothing to talk about"?

You did a great job!

To delete the thread to keep people talking about it because nobody would pay any attention based on the merit of the music itself? Damnit, you may be on to something here.

I had forgotten just how blatant they were with RTR. It's possible the label chose the track names for the project, that happened with Cult 48. Artists submitted music but the label ended up naming them on the final release. That's why the track names are so cheesy and 'on the nose' such as "Peyote" and "Salvia Divinorum".

" your music is way worse" You resorting to insults this quickly couldn't be more hypocritical if it was written by a Christian Scientist. I disagree. Spi's music is pretty good. Also it's fairly original, it feels sincere and has an identity of it's own. Spi is quite blunt, sometimes he is reductive and it annoys me but usually i appreciate his candor. I don't think BWE is nearly as bad as this new AF release, but it's OK at it's very best. What's frustrating is the fact that so many people will believe that successful artists would release a watered-down version of their own music on a small label with a terrible reputation. What's even MORE frustrating is this new trend of labels like FE and AF soliciting tracks from underground artists to release anonymously instead of trying to develop artists. This pulls all attention away from the idea of artists and artistry and makes it all about the label. I REALLY want this trend to stop as both an artist and a fan.

I don't think Aphex finding and commenting on a song tagged AFX makes them friends.

This whole 'anonymous artist' trend just feels like Qanon for IDM fans. He?????? You disagree that BWE was tagging their songs as #AFX on soundcloud?

I get what you are saying but taste is subjective. Those artists being good is your opinion. BWE got off light after starting a Soundcloud that was trying to pass off as AFX and even tagging songs as #AFX. RTR was promoted by the label as being Steinvord, not necessarily the artists fault. I'd say the label did the artist a disservice on that one. I feel like this current incarnation of "anonymous artist that we are hinting could be from Warp" from AF is the same issue. This place is synonymous with shit talking about electronic music to me. What you are describing is the very spirit of WATMM as i have understood it since i joined in 2014.

It's all good, i should have assumed something like that was going to happen anyways. Don't expect to hear any of my releases on AF anytime soon, especially after this ?

If i say too much this thread will be deleted too but whatever. This place sucks. Cult 48 is another "anonymous" group similar to this UNSEEN release. The only real difference is that Cult 48 has been explicitly marketed as being an "anonymous Board of Canada" release to get attention. The songs are all 1-2 minute long simple analog synths over a breakbeat. It sounds like Brainwaltzera to me, which would make sense considering Brainwaltzera is also an anonymous act that is capitalizing on the success of popular artists and sowing confusion. Also Brainwaltzera songs follow the same track formula. Cult 48 is definitely more than one artist though, and not all of the artists consented to being on the release. The difference is that Cult 48 is at least palatable. It's "meh" at it's worst. It's not absolute garbage like this AF release.

No i didn't delete it. I didn't even think that was an option. I actually wanted to delete it the first day because it backfired so bad. Someone assumed it was MY music (since i authored the post) which was quite depressing. I know my music isn't groundbreaking but to compare it to this release is horrifying. I couldn't figure out how to do it though. Then the thread got really entertaining. I rarely visit this website these days. The Cult 48 threads being deleted didn't help. What good is WATMM if i can't even talk about how overrated and cheesy collectives like Cult 48 are. I can't even put in to words my disappointment in how many people buy into this crap. Cult 48 is the MLM of IDM. Lets say i'm changing the subject with this last statement. I think people have a right to know about content theft, might impact their buying decisions.

Now this we can all agree on!!!

Yeah, it's pretty much just sad. The imitated has become the imitator.

This might be my mistake. I think i mixed up UNSEEN and WITHOLD because this is literally a carbon copy of what Furthur Electronix was doing with their own 'anonymous braindance series', except the music was decent on WITHOLD. I can't believe they even went all caps on the name, pretty blatant stuff.

I'm probably guilty of it myself but at least i don't lazily try to pass it off as the real thing like Brainwaltzera etc ?

Thanks to labels like Anilogical Force they will stay unknown too

Have you listened to the previews? Does it sound like Dollarstore Keyboard or does it sound like a weak impersonation of Aphex? That's putting it nicely. First 2 are actually cringeworthy.

Did you listen to the preview?

Analogical Force and Furthur Electronix have teamed up to release a new anonymous series to make you think "who is this? is this someone i am familiar with trying to sound like Aphex or is it someone i'm not familiar with trying to sound like Aphex?" If you are put off by the quality of the first 2 tracks, check out the 3rd!
