Once you announce something, it's in the ether and people report on it.

 

That's about all there is to say about that.

 

I'll go with the drunk theory.

Hah, how is that possible. We're lovely.+ I don't like the idea that he's a snob.

How was it determined that Cylob was to be a featured artist?

 

Cylob has an extensive back catalogue, and was one of the big names in the electronic music scene in the 90's when his peers Aphex and µ-Ziq and Squarepusher were redefining electronic music as we knew it. He's a great musician, even if some of his later output was a bit too tongue in cheek (IMO) versus the sonic masterpieces like Flicklife, Diof, and my personal favourite, Kobal. His Ventolin remix is one of the best ones out of the set.

When you say extensive back catalogue... do you mean it extends beyond what I see here on discogs:

 

http://www.discogs.com/artist/Cylob

 

I only ask because I figure there are a number of artists with similar or more technical merit, were equally or more so influential to the scene, and, if that rant was indeed directed at WATMM, more deserving of any free promotion efforts.

 

Before coming to WATMM, I'd never heard of cylob aside from his appearance on ventolin - the remixes and being part of cylobotnia. After coming here I went through his back catalogue on discogs and was thoroughly un-impressed. My personal opinion aside, I've seen others share my opinion of him on WATMM in various snickerings about him being featured...

 

If he hates WATMM so much, maybe its time to replace him with another featured artist.

 

Edit: as unimpressed as I was, maybe it was a hasty first impression. I value the opinion of watmm as a collective so I'm going to re-visit his material. I still stand by it though, if he's really that ungrateful maybe we can give the featured spot to someone more deserving. The true fans will take the 17 seconds to type in his URL daily if they care.

Who are they in your opinion?

I think Mouse on Mars RE the technical merit + they were around in the early 90's, doing their business, though they were maybe not as far reaching in terms of influence (maybe due to low exposure on the label they were on?)

 

I think Vibert has influenced tons of musicians, even Aphex' analords series were inspired by the lovers' acid album, right? The wagonchrist moniker has inspired tons of artists including DJ shadow, Kid koala (I read that in some interviews a bit back, will see if I can link).

 

I guess everyone has a different idea of who is influential or deserving a featured artist spot, I just figure if Mr Cylob was going to be rude about it/unappreciative maybe someone else deserved some limelight.

 

We should have a poll for it.
