Mr. Men? I loved those cartoons. How did you work this out though? Were told this by the "powers that be" then Joyrex?

Those KTPA tracks sound like DATA, not actual audio. I'm surprised nobody has found a way to decrypt them yet. The KTPA tracks are unlistenable IMHO. The sound of a ZX Spectrum loading was more interesting to listen to.

Agreed. I feel the same way about 95% of Merzbow tracks. NOBODY can move to that music. Including the composer. Shit, I can't even call it music with a straight face. Thankfully the one time I saw RDJ there were no noise tracks in his set. Merzbow however, doesn't move anything but his mouse. What can you move to that shite?

I seriously think noise tracks are a joke. A terrible, godforsaken joke.

Yeah, it's got to be data. Otherwise they're pointless really shit tracks, they're like putting your ears through a cheese grater.

The KTPA tracks are better than all the tracks on the unreleased MD (bar Praze-an-beeble).

Mike P and I were discussing it ages ago (around the time he broke that Brad Strider was Aphex), and he also mentioned a few other less-known aborted projects he had the fortune of hearing and knowing about. Supposedly he had a follow-up track to PAC-MAN called 'mind the gap' about the London Underground...

Another tidbit I recall: Back before R&S put out SA 85-92, the songs consisted of C90 audio cassettes he gave to his mates to listen to in their cars - there were quite a few cassettes, and the best of those got compiled into what is now SAW 85-92. Some of those cassettes still exist... and think about how many tracks could fit on a double-sided C90...

Hmmm..... Interesting. Wonder where those tapes are now? Unreleased tracks too? Cheers for that Joyrex.

I'm willing to bet all the songs on those casettes are released now under one of his monikers.

the KTPAs sound like analog noise to me, not data

that's what i thought too.. sounds like he's just messing around with a couple of synths running through loads of distortion, or something heh.

ABSOLUTELY. synths.

data doesn't sound like that.

well, data can sound like anything, but data that's meant to be decoded doesn't sound like that.

yeah.
