Did 'Muttley' ever make it beyond the four or whatever copies of the Caustic Window album? Just wondering as it's always cited by the actual song title. Can't find it in any discographies.

 

'Muttley' was just the name Mike P gave it when he described the songs for joyrex.com way back when (aah, those were the days), since it contained samples of Hanna Barbara's Wacky Racers cartoon - they're all untitled tracks, with the exception of the Phlaps song that also appears on it, since it was released and was given an offiical name.

 

Cheers Joyrex. Yeah, that must be the article I found after my initial post about 'Muttley' (with a track-by-track breakdown?) Man, it was tantalising reading that!

Yeah, that was one of the things that put joyrex.com 'on the map' as it were... that and the revelation that the Brad Strider EPs were indeed Richard and not Sepulveda.

You think you could link me to this article? If it still exists, that is.

ps. the music i speak of in my previous post was the one with a violin, simply perfect.

 

'kick ass violin solo' omg thats like one of his best songz evar d00d! peeple say he rote that after putting in a bid on sum rare sheet music by baytoven

Actually, Outside kick ass violin solo is by the artist "Outside" (Thus the title of the track), I feel bad for him, RDJ got a lot of credit for that track.

  AlexPallas said:

yeah theres four other caustic window songs as well:

popcorn, r2d2, phlaps and cunt

 

alot of the songs from the ep's got renamed when rereleased

 

this is rad stuff, but personally i'm more into Polygon Window, since it fits the mood more often

 

Actually, they didn't get "renamed", they were all untitled tracks when first released, and GWC and RDJ named the tracks for the compilation.

 

"Popcorn" and "R2D2" still are nameless, and didn't appear on the compilation due to sample clearance issues (R2D2) and doing an unauthrorized remix (Popcorn). They got by releasing these tracks on the original vinyls since all the Caustic Window EPs were limited to 1000 copies each pressing, with the exception of J9ii (300). Anything under 1000 copies is usually not worth persuing for royalities or copyright infringement (at least back in 1992 when these were released).

yeah! that's good! ;-) thanks 4 ur some in4mations! ;-)

Propulcid, Schmart, ... r the old names the firsts in their EPs Joyrex J4, Joyrex J5, ...

after Aphex has changed the names 4 the compilation...

whats the one with those star wars samples ?

r2d2

  nene multiple assgasms said:

r2d2

im not sure if were tlaking about the same track im tlaking abuot the one with a darth vader quote at the beginning and stuff

im pretty sure that'll be one of those crap hoaxes floating around.

u'll know the real r2d2 song when you hear it, its reminiscent of the popcorn remix

LOL prank phonecalls by Rich

Listen to production and also some of the drum sounds that have been sequenced or whatever... you'll notice a lot of them are also used on SAW 85-92 and other albums. That's how you can still tell it's RDJ but he always does something new so of course nothings going to sound the same.

As I said before... the tracks were always untitled - the names you mentioned above came from the infamous AFX FAQ, which was hosted by WARP Records for ages, and was created by Gonzi Marchan and Alex Parry (sp?), and then took over by Chris Miller. Alex and Gonzi also made up the tracknames for the SAW II tracks, and those too are untitled (officially).

ok! thanks! ;-) don't know 4 SAW II tracks! ;-) thanks Joyrex!!

So Alex and Gonzi are the blind bats who named the SAWII images?

Yes, that's right - mind you, they knew Richard personally, so take from that what you will - I have an interesting article on the co-creator of SAW II who explains how the photography by Richard and his graphic design combined into the overall concept of each image's size is representative of how long the song is on the release. Brilliant concept.

Hey Joyrex.....I think it's Alan M. Parry not Alex Parry. He ran the old electronic music mailing list in the 90's.

The design concept of SAWII is almost as good a reason to own it as the music itself. One day I'm going to get myself a vinyl copy just for that reason.

Incidentally, yet another query. Do regular copies of SAWII (from any country) still come with any credits insert? My UK version didn't. I prefer it without though, adds even more to the album's mystery.
