Music From The Merch Desk (2016-2023) [compilation]

After having a little SAWII break, back to listening 

Warp still aren't acknowledging this release, heh.

official bootleg ?

Maybe his contract with Warp, only one (or two) albums is owed so they are waiting for the big juicy one. Something like that. These are cool tracks but not top tier stuff. Bleh it's 5.22am and my brain is foggy. Something like that.

The first five tracks from 2019 are braindance 

I think just based on those five tracks sequenced I like this more than blackbox ep.

Let's hope so!

iTunes says it's on Warp:

Released 17 Dec 2024

(P) 2024 Warp Records

Agree on the love for the 2019 ones..in particular for me Soundlab & pretend analogue are 2 of his best ever tracks.

Always said Field day lp was hella underrated as well so hoping more people discover their awesomeness with this release 

The biggest suprise for me though was how much I enjoyed the Houston tracks, I only had them in pretty bad quality & didn't think that much to them before but very much enjoyed listening to them here..proper off your box in a dingy sweaty club vibe, love it.

It'd be cool to get a vinyl release of this of all the best tracks

it could be a sold exclusively on the shows

i don't really use streaming platforms so this comp doesn't benefit me, but i think it's really neat that this stuff is now readily available for everyone else! and the artwork is fucking genius, what are y'all talking about?!

as a side note, it's interesting that the bleepstore exclusive tracks still made it to this compilation. makes me wonder if things like rushup edge and the expanded versions of icbyd, come to daddy, etc. will make their way onto streaming services at some point, seeing as rich has essentially handed over those tracks to warp.

it would, but i think a soundcloud 'best of' vinyl would be so much cooler

they should release/do both! 

 Wonder if it will make it on Bandcamp? 

yeah streaming no thanks...

anyway, if you're on mobile with a free spotify account and get understandably annoyed by the fact that it shuffles your tracks just open it in your browser instead of the app...

Can't help it ... [sketch0.1b] is just so nice. Makes me happy : )

I cannot for the life of me work out why this is up on streaming but not available through the Aphex store, Bleep or Bandcamp. It's not streaming only as downloads are currently available from iTunes and Boomkat. What's going on?

I just jope more people get to hear the story of the Staircase remix because that is an oft-forgotten legendary afx story and an absolutely stomping track Nightmail is v special to me too as i first heard it at an early gig decades ago and it blew me away and forgto all about it... before he played it at DFN in Houston and i nearly die

d.. THEN it comes out on vinyl as merch.. what a ride

Also --release the 2019-presetn tracks oin a "new" new album PULEASE

was hoping it wouldn't have that shrill high tone in it anymore but seems like that was part of the original recording. great track nontheless

pretty common as far as I know. several oneohtrix releases that are the same. just a streaming play i guess. 

like this:

Imma wait till it drops in the aphex store, maybe there will be some bonus trxxx, maybe not. 

Either way it's a dope release man and i'm happy people can enjoy it cant wait to revisit the whole thing

I'd buy physical or digital of this, for sure.

btw also on Beatport : https://www.beatport.com/release/music-from-the-merch-desk-2016-2023/4821327

but damn son, Beaport's lossless 43,50 € vs Boomkat's 10 £. Randomness intensifies.
