liner notes.. heh ;) my comments were from a combination of conversations with him, articles i've read, and from video clips of the de9:ce final scratch discussion/demo he did in new york not too long ago. http://www.music-mag.com/News/2001/sept/hawtin_video.htm At 9:52 PM -0800 11/6/01, FC3 Richards wrote: were you hired to write the liner notes to the CD??? my opinion on the CD?? since no one has asked i am going to give it. i like minimal. i like techno. i like this CD. there ain't no g0ddamn arguing about that. jeff -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, November 05, 2001 12:08 AM To:M.

Re: [313] Hawtin + Aphex Twin - NY Times
I'm sure someone will think this is a great article, but with lines like : ___ One song, Kladfvgbung Micshk, uses a prepared piano for both the rhythm and the melody, and this suggestion - that a rhythm instrument can have a melodic value, and vice versa - creates a sense of ambiguity that hovers over the whole album: we're often not quite sure whether we're hearing a beat or a tone. ___ WTF! Of course a rhythm instrument can have a melodic value, considering the writer is paying close attention to RDJ's use of the piano, he/she should at least know something about the piano, or maybe the guitar, bass, drums, etc. All rhythm instruments have tones, a beat IS a tone. I would really like to know what Final Scratch had to do with DE9 2, besides being an influence on it (whatever that means). The best part of the article is definitely: (the author is speaking of Hawtin's use of a Phillipe Cam record) ___ It's a shame there aren't more surprises like that. Too much of Closer to the Edit rushes by without making much of an impression; its amalgamated thump never shows any signs of letting up. ___ Glad someone is paying attention.

[313] speaking of hawtin... (was Re: [313] Hawtin + Aphex Twin - NY Times)
No one mentioned anything about his set at Nikita last Friday in SF. I just wanted to drop a quick mention of it, and I must say, as someone who has critized Richie's more recent (read: '99 up to present) sets, I was really impressed. About an hour to an hour and half of bangin' (but not the drumcode-stiff type bangin', more inna funky vein), and then almost two hours of beautiful, deep, minimal, bliss. One of the most emotional sets I've seen him play...There was actual melody! And no 909 stupidity. I really felt like he's started trying to take people on a journey again. I thanked him for it afterwards and he said that he was really into it that night as well. Maybe the final scratch thing has had a positive effect on his programming...it was definitely reminding me of the richie of old... -eli - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

he said that was probably the best time he's ever had playing in SF. his set the following night in LA was quite similar.. came on, floored it for a while, backed off and played some de9:ce tracks, and then wound up banging it out again - but more funky, like you said. he snuck in that You Spin Me Round remix, as well as a rework of Coffee Pot, which kept a little humor and a lot of screaming fans going for it from beginning to end. they gave him an encore and damn i wish i knew what that track was!
