nice! :]

Fun!

Pretty sure this track wasn't made in 1992:

Aphex Twin – 1992? – ‘Gabbro Rod Fix’

Yeah, sounds more H.A.B. era

Gabbro Rod Fix was indeed made around that time, and was played at a live show.

Luvley jubbley!

Nice one, thankyou.

I'm really digging this supposed Afx remix that isn't properly released or mentioned anywhere else on the internet LMAO

**links removed

I'm also enjoying this supposed Mike and Rich tune that sounds fairly reasonable as well lol

**Links removed

forgot that's against the rules here, don't want to get banned for posting potentially leaked Afx tunes.

1992 - it was a show where Paul Nicholson (dancer/designer of the Aphex Twin logo and font) performed as well... I can't recall off the top of my head the name of the show at the moment, though.

That's incredible! That track is WAY ahead of its time....

Thanks for the info

Jesus Christ, lol at the prank phonecall to the radio station about making windows. Marvellous stuff.

And "Gabbro Rod Fix" is not an official name, either.

Oh, yeah I never thought of that. Speaking of I'm going to go listen to some 4-Lom...

This one is also new to me, I'm very curious:

DAT recording made by Richard of his friends in Sams’ car (Saman-Tha?). Includes some audio trickery.

Nice site, very comprehensive, hope it expands as much as possible. Speaking of unofficial names Joyrex, do you know anything about Martin Trezzider/Martin Tressider as a Universal Indicator alias? Supposedly it's some Cornish pirate reference? I've seen it crop up here and there.

This was apart of, I think, the playlist at the Aphex 97 US tour. I think the track is from 95 and after but I could be wrong, it sounds too drill n' bassy to me. He he didn't release much jungle stuff until the Ventolin ep which had some quasi-jungle stuff in it. Like I said i could be wrong but it just doesn't sound like 92 Aphex to me.???

OK this makes me interested, what's the real track title? I had an Aphex 97 US tour playlist compilation some years ago. That Gabbro or whatever it's called just seemed to fi into that 97 playlist quite well, again I could be wrong and sorry if I am but...???:)

Discogs is a very useful site.

Also what the fuck is drill and bass?

Yeah, that's a pretty advanced breakbeatfuckery that would be totally out of time in 92, no?
