Richard D James on the Planet Mu Message Board

thats exactly wat i think about analord on planet mu?

you got me there. my only proof is that someone else (in this thread i think) says it is.

well, in one of the AH posts he signs as "Richard" instead of eric. he also knows an awful lot about the gx-1... says he and his mates used to drive around with a 303+606 connected to the car radio... lol, i want to believe :embrassed:

also, i think it got mentioned in there, these posts are around the time the analord series got released

Yeah, that sounds credible if he did sign it as "Richard" on accident on one occasion. Or are you thinking the planet-mu board? If he did it still might be Rick van der Linden heh.

Also, yeah, whats up with all his posts behind around 2003-2005 and then its like he dropped off the face of the internet.

Except for that one recent one on That Other Site™.

true but what about yourself, you know and you should be the most important

listener shouldnt you?

and with analogue klobber or any klobber for that matter ,its what it

looks,feels and smells like as well that will make you use it a certain way.

I think an instrument that doesnt so good and looks the part can inspire me

to want to use it and put me in the right mood more than something which

sounds better but looks boring.

2005 is when the panflet account got rumbled.

I'm sure he has a new one now.

Check the age of this thread btw.

LOL

you should go and listen to some techno by the people who invented it

 

early detroit techno like:

derrick may,

kevin`maser reese`saunderson

model500,

blake baxter

 

 

because those demos are truly awful and give the word techno an even badder

name,sorry to crush your vibe,i know you just started but do a bit of

research and do us all a favour

I dont see how being honest is undiplomatic?

ill save you the earache on my music.

thats why I gave a list worth listening to.

Really he could just sign up to something as himself and say and do as the rest of us now, as he probably does, and no one would belive it was him.

There was a "scotsman" signed up in the thread where we were all bitching about the cost of the Analord binder. Gave us all heaps of shit for being tightwads. That's my #1 most likely to have been Rich WATTM post(s).

lol

*sings the x-files theme*

seeing how as the analord binder sold out, i'd say that scotsman wasn't on top of things.

if rich does check in here i hope he doesnt see these fanboy threads, instead i hope he sees the threads that bitch at him for not releasing the archives

You have to believe the archives exist

  rocky path said:

isnt this whole website for fans of good artists and music?

Rich mentions the unique phrase "pretend synths" talking about VST's on the planet-mu forum and the panflet alias also mentions "pretend synths" I think before the planet-mu thread. Proof.

paraphrasing: i recall he said part of the, er, beauty of analogue setups is the pitch drifts. you'd come back an hour later, and think you're mental, say, "i didn't write this!!"

was that what you meant?

no

it was in the same thread

but it was something like him talking about his tracks like:

"crying in your face: wonderful tuning on that one, wonder how that was done"

but i dont recall the details

Have you heard some of the acid riffs on analord,fucking amazing

I mean it sounds like a 303 but then again I dont think it is.

I want to buy my boyfriend one for valentines day!

 

it sounds like a magic 303 to me

Where`s your girlfriend has a really werid tuning on it?!?

the untitled track sounds unlike any 303 ive heard.

and mc4 acid totally magic 303 sounds....oh and xmd ,mental acid!!!!

there's no physical quality to the instrument to define the "original" from the "fake."

 

ha its so funny when people think they are soooo right and yet sooo wrong classic

Never mind that panflet described the making of GX-1 Solo (right down to the word "prick") 3 years before anyone knew that track existed.

thanks boris

There's also the discogs account.

Yeah
