AN APHEX TWIN BLIMP IS FLYING OVER LONDON

I remember a few people not liking drukqs when it came out, not sure about one year on though..

Druqs is what got me into Aphex Twin. I found RDJ Album to be more "difficult" to get into (which has since become my favorite AT release). But I wouldn't say I ever disliked any of it.

I highly doubt it's a troll.

 

Considering "Aphex" and the Aphex symbol are registered trademarks, someone at warp would have caught wind of this and probably served someone some legal documents by now, as false advertising/marketing could be damaging to future sales blah blah blah and the "Aphex" brand.

what happened to those shirts with aphexes face on them that some black rap guy was making his own and selling?

 

 

..........

It's not just "some black guy" It's a brand of clothing called Hood by Air, and both the company and the shirts are still around.

 

 

Where are the shirts for sale? Quick search and I can't find them except for ebay.

 

It's "high fashion". they don't keep product on the shelves after the season ends for the most part. I just meant that you can buy the shirt if you wanted to.

there are too many coincidences going on to determine whether this is all mere coincidence or not.

well. this is interesting.

Yes based on squarepusher's release schedule (appr every 2 years, his early years being an exception) we are due for a winter squarepusher release, if not early 2015.

Pleasantly surprised to see that the AV Club took some time out of their weekend to report on this: http://www.avclub.com/article/aphex-twin-releases-new-blimp-over-london-208239

This stuff is getting a lot of attention now. I can't wait to see where it all goes next.

StephenG is referring to people like myself, who thought that Tomorrow's Hype was all bollocks, and that the album was a bit naff. It was still naff 6 months after release, it's still naff now StephenG.

For the record - in my opinion, this is clearly real, and (so far) hasn't turned pathetic like Tomorrow's Hype did. fingers crossed it stays that way.

this is guerilla marketing at its best

Like I said - the best album BOC ever made, ever.

That pic with the date is shopped from the Radio City Music Hall stencil. All the little black concrete dots in the pic match up.

If this leads up to re-issues I'm going on a table flipping rampage.

I wouldn't mind a drukqs reissue though

.. and maybe a come to daddy 2xLP

they don't need this PR work for a reissue, or for a big festival gig, or a compilation

but it can be for a massive world tour,

my bet goes on an album

too many guys that are close to him said the new shit is coming, his recent activity, the joyrex conversation etc ...

Surprise gig in NZ/OZ please!!

ahhhh EFFEX TWEENUHHHH

edit: while I do agree with most of what is being said here, I don't agree with everything that is being said here, thx

This is exciting.

"As far as we know, Aphex Twin’s James has not released any music, under any name, since 2009, when a series of bonus tracks were made available to those purchasing his Analord EPs."

Music journalism these days seems like a pretty sweet deal. Apparently you don't even need to bother trying, just use the literal equivalent of the shrugging of shoulders and that's accepted as 'good enough'.

lol true, not like as if they wrote a article about the tuss or anything
