hey misc, if this was a reaction to my post: i didn't intend to be rude at all, i'm also against this forum being just for praising rdj. but what bothered me a bit was how everyone was posting that the track wasn't inventive and could be anyone else's work and some even started questioning if he could still make good music these days.. i think that went a bit too far :) and since, in general, we know that aphex' music only gets better and better with multiple listens (i almost "hated" analord the first couple of times, and that wasn't the only release i felt this way about) i just think some people were judging too quickly. plus all the music-theoretical-philosophical posts just are in the wrong place i feel, only a couple of days after the new track has been released. it feels like this is a very common procedure here on watmm if something new gets released:
first, a new EP gets announced and everyone goes wild. everyone posts that he's hoping for insane ziggomatic- cockver- drill n base insanity - which im pretty sure took the most people loads of listens to really enjoy. then the first single is released, wich almost ALL the time turned out to be amazing in the long run, yet people always judge it right after zapping through it the fist time. and all of this while everyone emphasizes how much he loooooooooooves the soundcloud dump seems a bit phony.
all in all im just happy that cheetah instantly hit me and i loved it from the 1st listen, and im completely for constructive, good discussions here on watmm.
