Aphex Twin who here likes erik satie

[Fred McGriff]

because aphex twin told you to do so?

[Guest Rook]

I knew about Erik Satie before I knew about Aphex Twin. :confused: In fact, a review of Drukqs said that aphex sounded like erik satie, and convinced me to buy it.

[Fred McGriff]

i invented the piano

[Guest Rook]

[Fred McGriff]

what a bad ass.

 

 

also, who here owns seefeel's polyfusia because aphex twin told you to own it?

[Guest HokusPoker]

After having bought a tank, I can't afford any more music.

[Fred McGriff]

well i bought a bank so it's like funny money see

[Guest Adjective]

i just sold my Yamaha GX-1 because i've got a great replacement in Arturia's CS-80v

[Guest Caustic]

i like Squarepusher because PRi.chardJAMS told me to.

[Guest HokusPoker]

When Stockhausen died and the German television was full of "He's strange, but he must have been some kind of genius" reviews, I thought:

Wow, they know that guy that Aphex Twin told me about!

 

To me, it was like a bit of RDJ was in the news, and that, in a way, is quite funny, but weird.

[brian trageskin]

how about Debussy?

 

[Zephyr_Nova]

I like Eric Satie because I heard his music and it was nice. Simple, yet stirring.

 

PS: I haven't listened to much debussy, but the song in the youtube vid Brain posted is incredible. When I go on my classical music binge, he will be top of my list.

[kaen]

so bloody beautiful

 

[Guest CATS]

satie is dreamy minimalism/ i've been listening to french pianists longer than i've been listening to aphex

 

btw: move this to gen banter

[Beholdapalehorse]

I've had Satie's stuff for a long time. Richard has not persuaded me to do anything, except wear that cool "weakest punch" T-shirt.

[qnio]

listening to Gymnopédies right now. liking it.

[Guest CATS]

because aphex twin told you to do so?

wait... are we supposed to hate satie because mcgriff is telling us to?

[enki]

Can't front on the Gnossiennes. That shit is tite. There are some biographical/personality similarities between RDJ and Satie that I find quite interesting, not least of all their shared dislike of discussing their own work.

[Guest Adjective]

i've had this vid favorited for a while, (since that mp3 you sent me of someone's version of this)

[triachus]

richard told me to get some john cage

 

 

he never talked to me about satie tho

[Fred McGriff]

because aphex twin told you to do so?

wait... are we supposed to hate satie because mcgriff is telling us to?

 

you're definitely reading into that too much. i just happened to make this thread while i was listening to satie yesterday. i like satie and only knew about him after drukqs. i do whatever RDJ tells me to do.

[pcock]
