That tune from the Manchester Gig this month

If people care that much, there's plenty of footage out there that could be patched together to form a good facsimile of the show. It wouldn't be complete but it would be better than nothing.

The guy who posted that long vid doesn't have the full set either, but he has a fair amount of it.

Hello to you all

It's truly excellent. Sounds Plaid-ish to me as well (probably not to anyone else though).

You're right yeah, it does sound Plaid-ish.

Those visuals in that youtube video of AFX dropping this tune..

it had some cool visuals. Found the visuals through someone's youtube profile who was "VJing" that night:

skip to 1:46

That is a pretty cool track, I wonder if we'll see it on future releases....?

This track is amazing. Very much on par with the best from Rushup Edge. I can only hope this sees a proper release.

Let's take heart from the fact that people used to post and beg for the release of what we now call Synthacon 9

mmm, i don`t know, the fact that he releases tuss stuff with his own voice...

wait. what's that choir sounding noise at 2.05 & 2.12. "aaaaaah.."

man i'd kill for a good quality recording of this!

Yes, we can all wait a couple of years for a quality recording/release

Maybe I should listen to more plaid, but as I was listening to this repeatedly yesterday I came to think of that long untitled last track of the warp 10th birthday gig (2000). it's 11mins something..

I really do think that the "chords" used in this song in general sound really bocish, and please hate on that yeah :P

Actually judging from this, boc and aphex oughta do collabs to some extent. Then again I'm afraid this tune kicks that boc live track's ass

oh brother

at least you got that part right

well at least admit you wouldn't have guessed it would've been rdj if it had been completely unknown etc.

eg. that sample 01:01

(and yeah I should shoot meself for mentioning boc in here bla bla bla, end)

Too right this tune deserves it's own thread. Sounds very Aphex to me, but I can also see (and hear!) the BOC and Plaid comparisons! Anyways, whatever, it is genius! Love it, thanks for posting!

You can tell its richard for so many reasons if you listen to tuss a lot and the details which it has.

for example, it only happens once, but he adds a lot of hi hats before the next drum beat triggers, you can hear this at; 2.43 exactly.

rich has always been together with melody and variating it a lot... he's obviously been working more on this side recently and its so nice that he is.

also, i cant be sure, but it sounda like he's using a key out of C at 1.41, even if not, notice how the melody changes mood for a darker feel yet it still flowing perfectly with the one before, then switching back at 2.20, it's seamless and really quite nice.

I reckon it will get a release at some point, but not likely to be released under AFX/Aphex Twin.

I just realized this sounds a bit like that 11 minute BoC track from live @ warp10

Thought I'd bump this topic as that track from the Manchester gig is the best thing Aphex has done in a long time. Tuss-tastic!

oustanding track

it gave me a full-on robot chubby

afx going plaid-ish. wicked
