the one in the download attachment page just sounds like one of the eleven that i have.

 

mine:

3:24 (the one that starts with very simple beats)

4:19 (Fingerbib)

2:26 (the one that sounds like an organ)

4:14 (The one that sounds like it could be on SAW 85-92)

5:18 (Starts with the shaker type sounds and has bouncy beats throughout, with bits of light whistling)

3:58 (High pitch squeel at start and various parts)

4:05 (The fast video game sounding type track)

4:33 (logan rock witch demo)

5:12 (The one we can all agree on being the one that's usually this length)

1:30 (The one that was posted, early girl/boy type sound)

3:01 (the one with noticeably crappier quality)

I got this set, too

Wow I forgot how much I liked MFM

Sorry to bring this old post back, but does anyone know how the mfm tracks got leaked?

They didn't come from Mars if that's what you're asking.

MFM got leaked when cassette demos of tracks from it was being passed around between WARP and Rephlex heads - it should be noted that while the leaked tracks did have Melodies From Mars written on them, there were tracks that eventually ended up on the RDJ Album (Fingerbib and Logan Rock Witch), while the others ended up on the Melodies From Mars test pressing (CAT087) on Rephlex.

Markus "Notch" Persson (aka the guy who created the "Minecraft" video game) owns the last known test pressing of MFM which was bought directly from Rephlex in 2014. He is also the owner of the Caustic Window vinyl test pressing (CAT023) that was used for the Kickstarter we did and was sold on Ebay with half the proceeds going to Doctors without Borders.

It is unknown if there are tracks on the test pressing that are not in the collection of tracks from the leaked cassette - I keep meaning to ask Notch, and always forget to...

so i am not the last one using winamp ?

Always wonder how something like that happens, you would expect them to be more careful (of course we're happy they weren't), makes me think it's intentional.

Very interesting, was/is Mark Persson close to some of the guys of Rephlex or is he just a fan spending incredible amounts of money on these records?

If there are other unknown tracks on that testpressing I hope he'll have a proper mfm release for them... Would be supersweet!

Do I have to sacrifice my nutsack with fire to the wicker man to get this released?

Markus is just a fan... a fan with loads of cash thanks to Minecraft (and Microsoft).

Joyrex rather rudely ignored my question, looks like my nutsack shall be lowered into a pit of burning embers

Not ignored; just not worth replying since any plans to release MFM are up to RDJ.

just having a laugh joyrex, I know you're the watmm topcat

I believe those track titles were made up by some discogs user, there are no track titles on either the cassette or the test pressing.
