hey I called it!

 

2014, big year for WATMM!

[YELLOW]

Joyrex, thanks for doing all the heavy lifting regarding this. Pretty crazy to see WATMM get this much attention, but then again, RDJ is one of the most important musicians of the last 30 years

[bopslayer]

ha. from billboard:

 

"(UPDATE: The disc has actually been up on Discogs for five years, as shown by comments dating back to 2009.)"

 

they don't understand discogs

I don't get it, yesterday you were all negative nancy about a 20 year old record that probably wasn't any good, and comparing afx with someone like Kanye West or Lil Wayne, and now you're suddenly all for it? Had a bad trip ?

 

Anyway, glad you changed your mind.

patience buddy.

 

"soon"

[beerwolf]

No way Aphex will have all this commotion without a new album coming. Otherwise it would seem trading on past glories.

[YangYing]

I dunno man, Richard is not an easy person to predict imho

[beerwolf]

yeah, let's not start counting aphexian chickens just yet lol

[YELLOW]

I dunno man, Richard is not an easy person to predict imho

[secularlove]

I'll gladly pay for a spot if there's one open.

[delet...]

yeah, i ain't on the new album train either. Lets just be happy for something, digest that for a while.

[BCM]

i started out sceptical, then went to denial, but must admit i am now pretty bloody excited. thanks to joyrex for sorting this out!

[pissflaps]

 

I don't really get exactly why they agreed nicely to do this. This can only mean they need the money? Maybe they will invest it on the label and get us all the stuff that has been on queue for a while? does this mean newer Monolith, new EOD, Steinvord digital release, new AFX on rephlex, more website updates..? or will they keep doing it wrong stagnating everyone's career that they sign?

The Discogs listing said "a chance to share the music...." which is exactly what this is.

 

Yeah, and what need do Rephlex/Richard have to want money off this 20+ year old record unless they really need it?

All im saying is, if a portion of the money goes to the label, will they put it to good use? Because everyone they've signed has barely released anything, thanks to the label not being active. What im wondering is if this will speed up things and get things done. Meanwhile the website hasn't been updated in years, a Steinvord release was announced by Grant 2 years ago and still waiting for any new Monolith. No news whatsoever on anything. I just get the feeling they stagnate people's careers (specially newcomers) because they are so incredibly slow to get things done and obscure in terms of promoting what they release. If it wasn't for this forum I wouldn't even know EOD had a Rephlex release.

[Ivan Ooze]

i'm still hoping afx will be like:

haha, it was a joke to promote the release of my new albums you guys, they are finally marrinated

here download the lp for free!

 

the hype is 2 big

[delet...]

It's people like EOD that should be picking up the grammys not the seat warmers in sequin and bakalite tuffies in terry towel that walk up for the gongs every year. It's a shame really. I hope that they would somewhat promote their stable of ace blokes a little more than they do.

fuck the grammys.

 

people want shit music let the media provide it for them.

 

if people want EOD, then the media will have to provide EOD.

 

personally, I like it how it is.

[Ivan Ooze]

this is my fucking soundtrack to this whole devil whoreshipping ordeal

yeah great, the people don't know what an EOD is because you need a huge marketing budget to tell them. You can't rely on the music press to know anything or be a discerning disseminator, as they have so ably demonstrated with the worth of the bulk of the content in their stories attached to this CW whirlwind. So you have an unconnected listening market, in this ironically (or is that purportedly) highly connected world. Doesn't, after a while, this get you down a little, make you hope a little, for a topsy turvy alternation of the status quo? Don't you want the little guy to win once in a while?

 

Sure the grammys are nothing more than a gift fest to mark the annual marketing achievements of the vampire squid. They are worthless and do not in anyway mark achievement in the fields in which they give away prizes. I agree that none of that crap matters, even if you just consider it on a philosophical level as a grading scale for people's clarity in focus tapping the movement emanating from ley lines around the infinity tree.

 

But wouldn't it be nice for once, after all these years, occasionally pure art and society align, wouldn't it be nice if it happened again soon.

 

nwae, no offence, you know i mean and i know what you mean.

man the space thing really fucks my head up, mainly now that I noticed it.

I agree, someday in the future maybe, many famous artists were never recognized during their lifetime.

 

then again... we do live in 2014, people's tastes in music are so diverse and the power the media has on most people is so strong that.... iunno.

 

guess i'm tired, sorry for rambly non-coherent posts.

[delet...]

It's ok, i should be in bed too. heh.

 

What's the space thing, you got an ocd?

 

where you do
