catchpazuzu Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 We should offer The Chosen One a fan made tribute album. Even if all the tracks are just fart sounds played on a different scale. I think he'd like it.

Acit Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 Weird that no one has even mentioned this yet: Aphex is not about innovation but all about quality. None of his albums introduced all-new elements to their genres or invoked new (sub-)genres themselves. His impact on all sorts of electronic music is based on that unique quality, not production quality alone but rather the quality coming from his immense talent at making music. That being said not every single record of his is gold, of course not. I don't think he even tried to achieve that. But I'm going back to SAW 1&2, RDJ Album, Drukqs, Tuss stuff and especially the Analords and always discover new things layered deep below the surface. He's a master. Do not ever doubt that.

lumpenprol Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 really? SAW2 was pretty revolutionary. Hangable Autobulb was definitely revolutionary. RDJ album also pretty revolutionary. I'd argue a lot of the other interstitial and alias works were not. And I don't think Drukqs or Analords were (duh).

Silent Member Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 (edited) WAT Ok, druqks, the analords and the tuss are probably like that, but everything that came before those releases was definitely miles ahead of anything else released in the same period.

And I don't think Drukqs or Analords were (duh). In which way exactly was SAW2 revolutionary? Don't get me wrong, I love this record. But I don't see him on that record as a pioneer by any means, except for its quality. There were lots of similiar Ambient records before SAW 1&2. Same with the RDJ-album coming out 1996. There have been producers and enthusiasts for new harsh electronic music such as Breakcore all over the place by then. Breakcore was big in 1995. Nothing RDJ has ever done stood out by being something really new (perhaps with the exception of Didgeridoo). He just takes on relatively (!) new or the current fresh things in a very classy way. He found gold where others digged deep in shit. The real pioneers are mostly forgotten. Nah, Aphex is not the father of any (sub-)genre or style or movement. He inspires by raw quality, that's it.

Guest Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 Yes, SAW2 is good, but not groundbreaking. The Eno ambient stuff is arguably better. You have also have Uwe Schmidt and Pete Namlook taking ambient to even more interesting directions at the time and afterwards.I'd say Hangable, RDJ album and Girl/Boy EP were truly Richard's with little else sounding like them at the time. Really special music happening there.

r2c Posted January 18, 2014 Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 Is it LEGALLY possible to relase another aphex twin album? Maybe this has been addressed (so forgive), but what's with the first analord release (10) being under Aphex, and the rest under AFX? I'm sure there are theories, but I don't know them. The onlyl thing I could imagine was that some legal dispute came up where he couldn't release as Aphex for some who-knows-why reason, and so he released all the rest as AFX? Am I crazy? Uninformed? Or maybe he didn't want to deal with the publicity. But you'd think he'd 've thought of that before releasing the first one.

goDel Posted January 18, 2014 Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 Agreed. It's been discussed before, but I cant remember the details. It was either about Warner Bros or Warp, or both even, having rights over the use of the Aphex Twin. Not sure whether those rights still exist. Joyrex should hire a legal expert to find that shit out. Or we should learn to befriend illuminati and they'd do it for free.
