So some peeps are finally going with my theory that RDJ is slipping out a few tracks on these releases? Do you really think he'd let another Rephlex act upstage him on his own label? If I remember, didn't he delay a Bogdan release until he put something comparable out? (I believe it was around the Drukqs period).

I first listened to these compilations a couple days ago and could instantly tell which tracks were aphex.

GM, Coronet, Heidi Kann Brauchen, and Men Part 2 are particularly obvious. Data sync sounds like Aphex Twin but has some elements of Amen Andrews or Vibert in general (the glittery noise and big dub bass in some parts).

'fraid not

fraid' yes actually.

aphex is boc

I would put down money that none of this is aphex.

 

I WOULD, however, but down money that all of this is Jodey Kendrick.

 

It's all really great and takes more than a little inspiration from the tuss but whatever, it's really good.

 

And GM was already on Jodey Kendrick's youtube channel in 2011 (half of it anyway)

i also 'would' (but won't) wager that these are mostly JK, and that JK is a real person.

same lol

 

All I'm saying is my ears haven't been wrong yet. I've heard Jodey Kendrick's music etc and quite simply I know what I'm hearing isn't 100% Jodey Kendrick.

 

What I'm hearing is a collective of rephlex artists with tidbits of pure Aphex'isms!

 

If you can't hear that Data Sync and Coronet are Drukqs b-sides then you quite possibly aren't familiar with the AFX library..... =/

 

And Heidi Kann Brauchen is 100% Aphex twin. End.Of.Discussion!

I don't think anybody who's listened to a lot of Aphex twin and Rephlex stuff could possibly get on board with this theory because as Grant has said 'use your ears'. Although Grant has also lied and said the Tuss and Steinvord are not RDJ projects when they clearly are.

Jodey Kendrick is very good at doing tracks in an RDJ style but none of them actually sound as technically and musically accomplished as any of the RDJ tracks he's trying to evoke, that alone tells me they aren't aphex. Even the dark sort of a-melodic stuff on Steinvord has more aphexy vibes to it and it's almost totally devoid of traditional melodies.

they don't sound like Drukqs b-sides to me, they sound like someone with modern software centric tools has done a very good job evoking the same stye. The only real Drukqs b-side that exists is the Steinvord track Untitled on the myspace page. Stylistically the EDM B2 stuff fits but production wise it's very far off the mark. There isn't a lick of the unique way Aphex processes things happening, instead there are much more familiar 'glitch' sounds and fills. Aphex (and Steinvord) are fond of their speciality spectral glitch/time stretching effect, which zero of this has. To me that alone is a dead giveaway it's not aphex, he just wouldn't do glitching in a way that's not uniquely him. Even on Death Fuck his newest proven drill song, it's just beyond pretty much anything else out there. All im saying is it's not aphex twin

Actually, thinking about it, I'm starting to agree with you.

 

If there are, supposedly, going to be 26 issues in this edm series, then it can't all be Jodey Kendrick, right? I mean, that's a fuckton of music by one person, or maybe there won't be 26 issues, since recent rephlex sub-label press releases have been a whole lot of bogus, who knows.

 

I still think it's not impossible that some of these tracks weren't created by someone other than afx, but thinking about it logically it's not out of the question.

 

I can't believe I'm fucking talking about this.

well don't we already know that some of the tracks are not by Jodey Kendrick but by the potentially female poster on this board Spunk Monkey? I thought it had already been established that him and his girlfriend contributed, at least to the 2nd compilation. Unless the whole girlfriend thing is a hoax

I remember hearing something about a spunk monkey on here.

 

Although I highly doubt that anybody on this board is Jodey Kendrick or his girlfriend.

yes just like it wasn't Clark who came in to defend his use of compression in the Turning Dragon thread, but was his 'close friend'

can ones sounds not be adapted slightly to achieve a specific character? an actor or actress will do this repeatedly; why not braindance? quite an obtuse angle for test tracs and experimenting with the public; fun for reading on the intergnats . i'd say the rephlex con has become a dream within a dream within a dream. many of the layers will never be

revealed and we will soon be lost forever; we will not know the difference between waking and sleep. my question is this; why was this process not planted as seed long ago? although, perhaps it was and we have already been dreaming for quite some time now?

I think the seeds have been planted a long time ago, electronic musicians playing with aliases originally maybe just to exploit contract loopholes to release on multiple labels. But then out of this the question of identity becomes interesting in itself doesn't it? Especially how deliberately muddying the water of aliases, labels and marketing relates to the dubious authoritative judgements of the music press or obsessive fanboys (I plead guilty) on sites like WATMM who claim to simply 'know'. It just goes to show how many people rely on being told what to think.

 

One of my crazy theories or reasons for why I find all this bullshit fascinating is that if technology, language and artistic expression are all merging into some kind of, uh .. 'telepathic format' then:

I'd argue that there are a load of stylistic similarities to a lot of Tuss/Analord material in a heck of a lot of these tunes - enough for me to toy with the idea that some/all of these could well be the man himself. To dismiss them as not being Aphex purely on the fact that they don't sound identical production-wise to other Aphex would be a bit short sighted in my opinion. I agree that perhaps they sounds a bit more software/digital orientated but who's to say that ol' Richard wouldn't dabble with that sort of stuff?

I just don't think he can be eliminated from having at least contributed a few tracks to these CDs.

On a slightly unrelated note however i've seen people claiming this to be RDJ in the last day or two... I don't know about that but could well be EDMC2 material maybe? Very recent upload ... like the video too
