Which wife? I heard he was an interstellar alien who came here to teach the plebes how to make a noise. He is said to have 10 wives on every known planet that has life. He admits to saying the single-celled life forms put out the best.ZenPunkHippy wrote:Numanoid wrote:So he basically is in need for quick money to pay alimony?[decipher] wrote:he mentioned the songs are basically old songs that he just fixed up for this (and more) album(s)

I guess there must have been somebody around eventually, that prevented him making a follow up to "Come on you slags"ntom wrote:Which wife?

I never listened to this guy but from what I've heard of this album, it's just bunch of non-hooky nonsense. Not danceable in the least bit and that's what people look for in electronic music otherwise it's just boring.

You're probably at the first encounters with non club electronic music. But, as the Twin said, it's the right way that people start with the more accessible electronic stuff and hopefully they will get to his music someday.deathwish wrote:I never listened to this guy but from what I've heard of this album, it's just bunch of non-hooky nonsense.

The irony here is that AFX is "the more accessible electronic stuff".e@rs wrote: You're probably at the first encounters with non club electronic music.

I guess the chart exposure and MTV videos help.

I'm talking about the music itself, not the exposure or notoriety of the artist. And even in that department, Avicii, Guetta or Skrillex beat him big time.

I'm talkng about his music. In the UK at least, he used to be one of the artists that you'd hear at student unions and the kind of pubs/clubs that play a mix of music and don't play a specific genre all night. He'd be one of the first artists many people getting into electronic music would listen to before getting into other stuff.
And this was all before anyone had heard of Avicii or Skrillex. "EDM" hadn't happened when AFX was getting popular.

And we are at 'Syro' chapter, what he said in a interview not older than a few months and what artists he competes these days. Not what it used to be back in the days.

The impression I get from this album (as with most of his stuff) is that you have this guy with a million ideas and a million more bits of gear and, unfortunately, he's decided to use them all at once. And I fecking hate random bleep chopped up glitch crap.
But I do think he's good because somehow he still manages to get me to keep listening.
