  1. too bad our pineal glands are all calcified by now
  2. wot the hell are you guys talkin about, anyway?
  3. when this comes out, ima buy 2 copies. i'll break the cd copy in half, and sharpen the edges to make a shiv. then, with the vinyl copy is playing at insane dB levels, i'll do a full on seppuku with the aphex shiv right at the most climactic moment but dont try this at home kids, only true fans can get into aphex-nirvana
  4. i just cant wait to see what it sounds like... and what ekt is gonna sound like for the next few years
  5. yeh i actually just thought that. it is true, he does seem to be happy. but then are edited videos taken out of a context and cherry picked out of a person's life a real indicator of who they are? i dont know. on the other hand at his site he himself lists his quirks as a list of 'issues' and 'problems' which he wants to get rid of. so i think the idea that this is a guy who's perfectly happy with his extreme isolation is seriously questionable. he seems to be making some improvement but its like what about bob's baby steps. nobody can know but him and maybe his family i guess but i personally wouldn't be surprised if he was severely depressed. i think not being able to look in a mirror says a lot too.
  6. am i the only one who, even though i sometimes watch his videos out of curiosity, his extreme quirks sometimes almost piss me off? yeah i know he probably can't help it so that's why the key word there is almost, but then again i think to some degree he could help it and in fact i think if anyone could help him the main person would be himself, which is probably true of anyone. i know my shit aint perfect but god damn if the hell he's built for himself isn't possibly the most overly elaborate, nonsensical, and completely arbitrary one anyone has ever made for themselves, with his videos each serving as log to the world of its detailed design and execution. he literally imprisoned his own mind in bubsy3d for a billion hours. a game so shit that surely even the developers who made it knew it was terrible and wanted to forget all about it and move on and probably thought nobody would ever play it let alone want to live there.
  7. i'm gonna side with JE here because even though i've never used any eventide stuff, the 3-4 parameters at a time automation limit seems pretty consistent with midi stuff i have used and i was about to make a comment about it myself. those tracks just have too much going on, too many changes in the DSP happening too fast to have been sequenced all to play out like that, live in a single pass through, as you hear in the final product. maybe multiple eventides/samplers could be used to jump back and forth between bits, but at that point it's pretty arbitrary to go that far out of your way to avoid using a PC DAW just so you could say you didnt use a computer, even though you actually still did use several pretty powerful computers. it'd be more time consuming, and less smart than just using a DAW to edit, which would be the best tool for that kind of job. i wouldn't be surprised to see RDJ or SP saying they made an album by programming it entirely in machine code while they were asleep, and i wouldn't be surprised when half their fanbases believed it
  8. i preferred their politics being veiled behind a few layers of sarcasm/irony. funny or die are a bunch of fucking retards by comparison. great. does this mean we're going to have sam hyde dressing up as paul ryan so funny or die can explain to us why democrats are the bestest?
  9. 99% chance imo that some sensitive group who got offended called the PC police, bitched to youtube and youtube complied since they are fascist fucks cant let any special ppl get their feelings hurt now can we
  10. that IS awesome! Any chance of getting a link to the article? well that would be cool if i could brag about this a little bit more completely and drop that link but that would involve me revealing my true self to the forum at large and my social anxieties/paranoias would not permit that, probably.
  11. just got an email with an invoice, which i almost deleted thinking it was spam. turns out its an invoice for a magazine article i wrote almost a year ago now, but which just got published a couple months back. at first i was told by the editor i would get paid when he requested/suggested i write it, but nothing else was said so i assumed there was no pay. but i figured even if i did get paid it'd be like 50$ or something at most. and mainly i just thought it was pretty cool that i could say i was published in a (well known) mag, which i kinda accepted as good enough. then bam! suprise money (along with apology for lateness)! lets just say it was a niiice little chunk of moolah. easily enough to make the decision about that microbrute i was on the fence about getting... although now im wondering if i should get the ms20 mini instead... OR BOTH AND that was only for the first part! (its a two part article) sweeeeet
  12. Not all digital doohickeys are computers the ones used to produce this album were
  13. well considering that any kind of digital doohickey is a computer, if he used a digital sequencer, then no. its not the case.
  14. that kickstarter is retarded on so many levels. who is this person, how and why do they think they can get access to all 3 of those vinyls, and why don't they tell us what their supposed connections are and how they think they can pull it off? why 75,000? there just seems to be 0 assurance that this goal is even possible, even if the 75,000 were obtained, and i reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaally don't see that happening considering that this person is giving zero info, seems to have zero credentials, and no explanation why it would require that much money. as it is, it's really a joke and imo not even worth the time i spent typing this much. as far as the quality of the rip, in my opinion it's about as good as should have been expected. especially considering the material. the caustic window compilation (cd) is full of stuff that has varying levels of quality and is usually fairly raw and rough sounding, and i always took that to be part of the sound. but most of his other stuff from the early days was like that too. i mean yeah this has that added layer of vinyl sound over the probably already rough masters, but so what? it suits the material 100%. i like to think of that as being part of the official release, and yeah the fact that rich checked it out and ok'd it makes that the case whether some nitwit likes it or not. its pretty arbitrary with this kind of material to say 'ok yeah its gritty material in the first place but this extra layer of vinyl sound ruins it and needs to be minimized as much as humanly possible and since im a freak who obsesses over minute meaningless details im really never going to be happy with any rip ever anyway so why is anyone listening to my opinion at all' its like christ, just listen to the damn thing or dont
  15. im just playing devils advocate here, but he may have ripped trax from vinyls to dj the files with because he liked the sound of the vinyl...
  16. its going to suck like 99% of every other fukin thing hollywood makes they make movies for the international market now, and ever since that market has been making more money for them than the domestic market, the movies have gotten 5x more retarded. which says some things about the idea that americans are the worlds stupidest people, doesn't it? at least, it should if we're being honest here. fuckin transformers cockfests are what the world wants. and its what theyl get look at robocop. the original was this very unique, dripping satire of various things all at once. it had the superficial plot and the gore and the effects, but there was this whole other layer of messages under that surface. did the remake have any of that? well, it had blatant, paper thin right wing colbert-esque satire which everyone loves, and that worked out really great and artistically didn't it? like when hollywood took moore's v for vendetta and turned it into commentary of american right wing politics. the world loves that shit. so does a sizable chunk of retarded americans. but it doesn't have any actual depth, and it wont be remembered. but hey as long as this shit keeps making hundreds of millions from those other countries that are so much smarter than america is, it's all were gonna get.
  17. nice surprise in that i expected the album to be almost all like the cunt and phlaps tracks, and the compilation stuff, but instead there's a nice bit of variety in there (more than on comp, imo). i even think i like this kind of stuff better than if you took 14 tracks from analord at random and made a playlist, tbh. thanks to joyrex for dealing with all this which i'm sure was a bit annoying at times, and to rich/grant/whoever else for finally letting this out! the rip is great, everything came out perfect on that side of it, in my opinion. fukin sweet.
  18. does that pizza come in a box or will u just shoot it straight into me from a cannon
  19. i just heard a rumor that deer is a neo-maxi zoom dweebi? not sure if true but pass it on
  20. to be fair to joyrex, i don't think he said it would be released friday, but that the rips would be done/files in rephlex's possession by friday. and to be fair to rephlex, i suppose if it were me, and it were my album, i would probably scrutinize those files quite a good bit before OKing them. dammit.
  21. i just got an email saying my penis is too small to ever satisfy a woman and i need pills for it :( but also one from the prince of nigeria saying he wants me to help smuggle out some stolen diamonds and i'll get a cut if i help out :)
