it dawned on me today that our dear mr. james has a discography spanning over 20 years. that does a few things for me:

*makes me feel old
*impresses me
*makes me glad that much of that work still sounds fresh
*makes me wonder where it'll lead to

the thought interested me because so many of our EM influences have died over the last few years and i don't feel like there are many contemporaries that i personally feel influenced by. what are our musical successors going to be influenced by in 20 years? will it even matter by then?

I had a gig at state-x festival where AFX was performing also. I was before him so i could listen to his set. It was kind of rubbish. Only the last 20 minutes were good, well freakin good. But overall my impression was that of disapointment. OK hello he uses LiveSlice... the algorythem of the plugin does not always work out well. And yes mr aphex had lots of stutters and even skipped in the middle of a track, without raising an eyebrow...

i think i just got really tired of his spastic fruitcakeyness. him and tom jenkinson both. yes, you can play very fast we get it that is very complicated. i miss the days were people were more mellow and not trying to out spaz each other. and besides none of them, even rick james, can spaz out like masonna anyway so there's no point in trying.

i'm going to go to sleep now listening to sawII as i have been doing for probably almost 10 years now
