Aphex Twin The Caustic Window LP (CAT023) Kickstarter FAQ - LIVE NOW!

why isn't there an Aphex Twin wiki? like a super in depth discography (incl live shows/bootlegs that exist, outtakes, comps, remixes, etc etc)... with ability to comment and discuss on these releases? it'd be an awesome reference.

 

Wonder if we could create something like that at WATMM, and have that function as a subpage?

That's what WATMM had, when it had a site proper attached to it... I'm... working on it

An IDM wiki would be great. There's soooo so many tidbits of interesting info scattered through this site... I don't want to be the one rescuing them from 10 year old threads tho

Should throw up a WATMM Wikia setup or something simple like that. Most featured artists have already been fleshed out and you'd just need a few contributors to round it out.

That would be great!

So yeah: Since the CW LP seemed like a pretty straight forward rip process that happened last Friday can you clarify what is still going on this week that is holding up the release?

I would imagine that it may be to do with sorting out the final distribution of the files. of course, whatever server will be hosting the content will get battered to fuck upon release, so it needs to be a service that can stand up to the demand.

I would hope that Joyrex hasn't chosen Bleep to host the files...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I remember reading that it might be done through a Bandcamp page? That was a while ago and maybe just an idea, though. If it's not Bandcamp, I'm with you in hoping that whenever server the files are being hosted on will be up to snuff for handling the traffic it'll get on release day.

No, Bleep is not hosting them.

LOL @ the "lineage" - CDr as source? so if it went vinyl to CDr, that means the audio was capped at 16-bit/14400, right? Then, reduced again by FLAC conversion? Wouldn't that make it less than stellar (I personally don't care THAT much about audio fidelity, but some here do)?

Edit.

If it went straight from vinyl to CD-R, that suggests to me that someone used one of those shitty all-in-one Crosleys or whatever that let you burn a disc straight from a rip. Obviously the popular AB5 rip does not sound bad at all, so I suspect this lineage is erroneous. At any rate, even if a CD-R was involved at some point, the files are 16-bit/44.1kHz anyway, so nothing would have been lost there.

Ah, I see - yeah, it doesn't sound bad, but still wondering.

so any word yet if the chosen lord has put his sigil of approvement on the digital rip, joyrex?

you don't seem 2 deny there will be bonus material, do you

soooon!!!!!

I'd be far more worried about what equipment s/he used to rip the disc with (what turntable/preamp, audio-in settings, post-processing, etc.). The technical specifications don't matter to my ears because if you can tell a difference past about 256kbps and 44.1kHz you're already inhuman (most people have a hearing range of up to around 20kHz). I'm just an autistic archivist, so my interest in quality only runs as far as statistic data. My ears don't care as long as it's at least 192kbps.

Remastering it could also make this re-release of AB5 unique and different from any other rip.

I feel it guys

It's coming.

It's his birthday in a couple of months, maybe they're gonna delay and release it then instead, cat23 for his bday43

maybe some take me for a aphex twin-hater but i have masturbated 8 times today to keep the anxiety down !

i masturbated 4 times yesterday. pretty much the highest since last summer.
