Guest nick5745 Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 this was a comment thread for Movement electronic music festival (formerly known as Detroit electronic music festival) when they announced this year's lineup. I think I'm more bummed knowing that the issue is him not wanting to play (at least in the US) rather than promoters not trying to book him....although it doesn't really surprise me. Hopefully he makes his way back to the US one day.

Brisbot Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 He took out his handy dandy calculator, calculated how much money he wants divided by how much he makes per show to get how many shows he needed to play. There, set for all life. No more Aphex. He will be living on the moon. Last man in SPAAAAAAAAAAAaaaace....

delet... Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 /decides that he would rather not pay to see richard's yee olde android band so doesn't book a ticket for when it comes through town. But then dleetr finds that his android has booked a ticket for him so now he has to go. Apparently it made a facsimile of my visa card and used the virtual currency that that produces thanks to the fractional reserve system to pay for my attendance at the drill and bass drumline puppet show.

delet... Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 The future music show i went to annoyed me a lot, the music clashed against my ears as i didn't like the choice of hip hop and i don't like gabba. The rest was a mish mash of whatever, and then he'd get into a bit that made my mind dance and it would divert into blarg again (the light show was quite something though). The time i saw him with vibert was pretty fucking funky. Ar well i'm sure the people that went to listen to a festival filled with mediocre dance music found it fascinating. I'm jealous of the people that heard him at bang face. Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide all signatures A member of the non sequitairiate.

Hugh Mughnus Posted April 30, 2014 Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 He probably has a thousand or so unreleased tracks. Lets take Mike P, for example, who apparently had to go through a couple thousand unreleased tracks to compile Somerset Ave. Tracks. Surely Aphex has a similar if not even higher amount. Albeit, probably only 10-15 songs per album worth (presuming 15 tracks each album) are actually WORTH releasing. We could make up figures all night I suppose haha. As an example, I've got 558 completed tracks. And I'm absolutely nobody and make shitty music.
