Is it even possible to produce a new Aphex Twin album?

hey guys... no news yet? fuck!

Yesterday i listened to The Tuss and Selected Ambient Works 85-92 : i hope Afx will release again because he's too good to remain silent.

I hear original stuff all of the time. But when you think: "Man, I think all of the spectrums of possible music have been covered." You're immediately feedbacking yourself since you aren't thinking of something original on the spot for yourself, and you're using that as evidence for your proposition that it isn't possible to be original anymore. I know the feeling though. It stays there until you hear something new and you realize that you needed that.

whats important is to listen to music and dont worry about who made it at all.

 

thats how our music hero would do it i reckin.

 

oh, and was the tuss a collaboration?

sometimes i wonder if squarepusher is in it, especially when listening to death fuck. tuss albums have a stylistic cohesiveness in a similar way that squarepusher albums do.

not this shit again. no it wasn't a collaboration.

i think it fits better in squarepusher's discography than in rich's. if you acknowledge that squarepusher probably had access to a gx-1, is known to share unreleased tracks with rich, and might have registered tracks under rich's name as a joke, especially tracks that sound like they could be rich and that he played in dj sets, do you have any evidence that richard is on the tuss at all?

Stop being a troll. Read the rules, then read the threads here on watmm. The discussion about The Tuss's identity was settled years ago.

The Tuss is certainly no-one other than Richard D James, for anyone that has ears.

When did I ever say it was a "good" example?

I just said it was an obvious and CLEAR example so hop off my dick

Edit: also I think I was pretty clear when I said a lot of his breaks are just derivative, you know, just like basically 100% of any artist out there. Maybe in your old age you struggled to read that or you're developing Alzheimers and already forgot, I don't know.

Pretty obvious and clear, and I hate to break it to you, but Q-Chastic wasn't released, only the track CAT002 on the Philosophy... comp was. These tracks aren't Aphex.

Is this even legit? Doesn't sound like Aphex to me.

EDIT: Question was answered. Nevermind.

Bah that doesn't change anything.

My assertion was simply that aphex twin used the amen break and that was all. So I used an example floating around in fake discographies in ADDITION to the several I pointed out that are legit. So what? That track was dated quite old and I haven't even listened to most of his back catalogue because quite frankly a lot of it is pretty shitty. Doesn't make me any less familiar with his modern aesthetic or techniques.

And the Tuss as I pointed out is very obviously Richard so this doesn't even need discussion.

Is it possible to produce a new Tim Hecker album? Yes, and he did..

Is it possible to produce a new Autechre album? Yes, and they did.

Is it possible to produce a new BoC album? Yes, and they did.

Is it possible to produce a new whatever album? Yes.

Is it possible to produce a new Aphex Twin album? No.

Case solved.

im not trying to troll but lately i've been thinking about this and skibby asked. i believe that rich is in it, but squarepusher being in it also would explain why all the tuss stuff has a thickness to it that's different from all other rdj stuff, and the albums having a unified sound which is more of a sq characteristic than richard. the bass part that starts at 1:05 in death fuck sounds like squarepusher's midi bass pops and plucks. the muted notes and rhythm of the bass throughout synthacon 9 remind me of squarepusher. the bass part that starts at 2:35 in rushup i bank 12 sounds like it could be midi-bass.

i could be wrong, please don't be mad at me.

^ no Tuss material sounds like Squarepusher's production to me.

I don't mean to be a caustic window prat but these threads are poison. they are unhealthy for the continued development of a person's musical tastes. this becomes more apparent when you're away for a while and then come back to the same old discussions pondering where Richard is at and what he's gonna do next, if anything. he'll do whatever he'll do, just move on already and enjoy the shitloads of good new music out there. 2013 was the best year in ages, just go and get lost in the new stuff already. or go backwards in time and unearth the roots of your favourite musical styles. there's no excuse not to, really.

the sooner one leaves their little IDM cubbyhole behind, the better.

Better to open ones mind, innit?

I agree with you wholeheartedly. There are tons of incredible artists out there. It's weird to dwell on one.

The Tuss = RDJ

Moning on.

i'm not mad but i'm afraid you are wrong and also it sounds nothing like squarepusher.

I think you're all boring for deciding that Squarepusher ISN'T on any Tuss tunes, it's forever been a common thing for pals to be in the room transmitting vibes or flourishes to tunes without them ending out requiring a collaborative credit.

Maybe every Aphex Twin tune ever has someone in the background pulling a string here and pressing a key there.

It's not unfeasible and is more much more unlikely that all AFX tunes are 100% solo efforts.

So, ner?

Pretty sure The Tuss was Steinvord
