bubbhasdance Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 Alright folks well I'm back with another sickeningly fanboyish idea. What if we listen to the entire AFX discography over the course of a few weeks/months and discuss about it periodically. I like going to shows to listen to music WITH other people, and sometimes me and a buddy will sync up a track so that it starts at exactly the same time and discuss how awesome it is. Its basically just a splooge of Aphex fanboyism but if this had to go anywhere, the AFX forums here on our own Watmm is the place. I'm thinking we listen to an album for like 3 days or so, and then move on to the next one. Just the idea of knowing that all the other AFX fans on here also have the same RDJ album (lol pun) as me going in rotation. Also we can talk about the albums one by one while we do this and discuss what tracks we like/dislike and what tracks we've grown to enjoy. The only rules would be that you have to listen to the ENTIRE album cumulatively within the period for everyone. We could negotiate the rotation period obviously but the basic premise stays the same. I don't think there is really much point to this, just a fun and interesting experiment but would you guys be down for making the epic RDJ journey together? Here's a list I picked up, feel free to change as you please: Week 1: Analogue Bubblebath Vol. 1-2 Week 2: Bradley's Beat / Bradley's Robot / Pac-Man EP Week 3: Digeridoo / Caustic Window Compilation Week 4: Surfing on Sine Waves / Quoth EP Week 5: Xylem Tube EP / Analogue Bubblebath Vol. 3 Week 6: On EP / On Remixes EP Week 7: SAW 85-92 / Analogue Bubblebath Vol. 4 Week 8: SAWII Week 9: I Care Because You Do / Donkey Rhubarb Week 10: Ventolin EP / Ventolin Remixes EP Week 11: Analogue Bubblebath Vol. 5 / Melodies From Mars Week 12: RDJ Album / Girl-Boy EP Week 13: Hangable Autobulb EP / Mike & Rich Week 14: Come To Daddy / Windowlicker Week 15: Drukqs Week 16: Smojphace / 2 Remixes by AFX / 26 Mixes for Cash Week 17: Analord EPs Week 18: Rushup Edge / Confederation Trough Are there any albums I forgot? Not sure, don't think so. It runs a little long, but RDJ has more albums than Ae overall I'm sure, and 4.5 months of listening to AFX isn't bad! Any tips on switching the albums or compressing, would be great!

Guest JohnTqs Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 can we take out xylem, digeridoo stuff and just use classics? and can we cut bradley's/pac man?

Dale Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 (edited) I will have a go at this The ae threads were pretty good and I found myself sticking to it right til the end - I'm sure I can do the same with afx. I feel as though I have deprived his music for a while. edit: I suggest you wait for a few more replies until going ahead with this. It would be good to get as many people taking part in this as possible. I remember the ae threads being around 6-8 pages of replies for each cycle which was a good turn out.

bubbhasdance Posted March 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 (edited) yeah it's probably best to wait quite a while, so people can find this before it starts (the afx forums have been a little deserted as of late), I agree. that's a good idea, I'll just push Classics. if everyone wants to cut out Bradley and Pac-Man, sure so if everyone wants to cut those: Week 1: Analogue Bubblebath Vol. 1-2 Week 2: Classics / Caustic Window Compilation Week 3: Surfing on Sine Waves / Quoth EP Week 4: Analogue Bubblebath Vol. 3-4 Week 5: On EP / On Remixes EP Week 6: SAW 85-92 / Mike & Rich Week 7: SAWII Week 8: I Care Because You Do / Donkey Rhubarb Week 9: Ventolin EP / Ventolin Remixes EP Week 10: Analogue Bubblebath Vol. 5 / Melodies From Mars Week 11: RDJ Album / Girl-Boy EP Week 12: Hangable Autobulb EP Week 13: Come To Daddy / Windowlicker Week 14: Drukqs Week 15: Smojphace / 2 Remixes by AFX / 26 Mixes for Cash Week 16: Analord EPs Week 17: Rushup Edge / Confederation Trough Edited March 8, 2010 by bubbhasdance Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide bubbhasdance's signature Hide all signatures THATS HOW U NO U GOD WHEN YOU GOTA MODEL AND SHE THROW UP ON YO DICK BECAUSE ITS SO BIG AND YOUR IN A LIMO GOING TO A LIL B CONCERT - Lil B Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/54096-synchronized-afx-album-cycle/#findComment-1263545 Share on other sites More sharing options...

bubbhasdance Posted March 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 Yeah, I figured splitting them in over 3 weeks was good enough to digest easily. I haven't heard a whole bunch of Richard's music lately, and I think this would be a good way to get excited about him again, and synclistening is always good Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide bubbhasdance's signature Hide all signatures THATS HOW U NO U GOD WHEN YOU GOTA MODEL AND SHE THROW UP ON YO DICK BECAUSE ITS SO BIG AND YOUR IN A LIMO GOING TO A LIL B CONCERT - Lil B Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/54096-synchronized-afx-album-cycle/#findComment-1263559 Share on other sites More sharing options...

bubbhasdance Posted March 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 Oh sorry, I didn't even see that when I copy/pasted this. Seems like over at the ae forums, they did it weekly, not sure about the 3-day thing. You guys want to listen to albums weekly, or over a 3-day period, and spend the remaining 4 days talking about it or whatever?

Guest JohnTqs Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 aight how about this: Week 1: Analogue Bubblebath 1, 2/Classics (1.8 hours) Week 2: Compilation/Surfing On Sine Waves/Quoth (2.4 hours) Week 3: Analogue Bubblebath 3, 4/On + Remixes (2.3 hours) Week 4: SAW85-92/Mike & Rick (2.2 hours) Week 5: SAW2 (2.7 hours) Week 6: ICBYD/Donkey Rhubarb/Ventolin + Remixes (2.3 hours) Week 7: Hangable Auto Bulb/Richard D. James/Girl Boy/Come To Daddy (1.9 hours) Week 8: Windowlicker/Drukqs (1.9 hours) Week 9: Smojphace/26 Mixes For Cash (2.6 hours) Week 10: Analord 1-5 (1.5 hours) Week 11: Analord 6-11 (1.8 hours) Week 12: Confederation Trough/Rushup Edge (less than an hour) i cut out 2 remixes, analogue bubblebath 5, and melodies from mars. some weeks seem dense (week 7) but they're all roughly the same length. each week would be a legit week, not a 3 day period.
