is it just me or when he's talking about Rephlex on the ITW it smells a bit bitter and anger ?

 

here is what he said

"Is that what Rephlex - defunct since October last year - the muffler has done that collective band?

"It will not have helped, no. However, there was more. I felt bad about it. Anything that is not a
standard release, is a fucking headache. When I ask something on Warp, there is a whole team
behind and everything is calculated correctly. When Rephlex I asked [bosom friend and companion]
Grant [Wilson-Claridge]. Grant, we'll collect 12 inches in a band? And yes, we just did. The Fuck it.
Do not hesitate, do it! Every time I opened my mouth, it was two weeks of work for him. I have to
watch it. With Warp is different. During our last meeting, they told me, you can do what you want,
you can make it as crazy as you want, we calculate it simply by the retail price. I believe they last a
deluxe edition with Brian Eno did that cost 200 pounds. As far as I would not want to go, but I
would not mind to do something special that's worked out. To perfection As long as it says in the
sleeve how much everything costs, so that people know that you are not 200 pounds for a piece of
plastic, but paying for a quality product. "KOEN Poolman "

rip rephlex, totally mental label really. The Philosophy Of Sound And Machine should have got the attention of AI series but i feel like they all won out. Serious back catalogue and as mentioned they stuck to what they believed instead of chasing the coins. respect and love

 

sad though, im guessing its because of afx possibly no longer wanting to back it financially. Sad because warp will take their sweet old time to get music out with their big schedule and method of promotions, but yeah itll reach more people ultimately

Could mean that they'll be more rephlex parties and such.

If you should believe any of the interviews, you could assume that he's finally back in the schoolbanks. He updated his fb with adding a College of Arts to his educations starting from 2014 or something.

2011 marks 20 years of Rephlex...

Nice you noticed, cheers… It’s been a 20-year gap year before uni while I work out what to do there! Achieved all the original objectives plus a few more by now.

I finished school, and I was waiting to go to university (you have about a year in England that you can take out) and I started Rephlex just for a laugh for that year. 23 years later I’m still here so, yeah, I’ve still got to go to university but… (he laughs)

 

http://www.improvearts.net/planet-rephlex/

Also from those interviews you can conclude he was working towards an end, sort of.

  Quote

But regrets — have you had a few?

No I don’t regret anything. Things could have been done better but they could have been done worse too. A lot of Rephlex action depends on other people too. 20 years so far is a good run and our catalog is among the best, for just one label, in my opinion.

 

Ironically in that Improvearts interview he also asks why Aphex should still release anything, because he'd done everything already. Now Rephlex quits, partly because of that reason, and now Aphex releases again...

true, but Warp's budget means that the packaging can be nice, there are enough copies to go around, etc. Sure, it's mostly about the music, but I thought Rephlex's packaging was a bit of a letdown, personally. I mean, shit, look at the Steinvord label art.. Verdana, really?

that produk 29 video is also from a "fake" aphex accounts

 

remember brain tregaskin and tuss myspace thing? was it most top level imminent technological shit? no it wasn't.

was it richard taking a piss about himself and his fans trying to emulate his work? yes it was

 

why is it so hard for you to understand that he actually can write bad tracks on purpose and just play with us, he is a regular mortal men, he's not always producing ultra hits for idm kidz. He writes simple and goofy tracks too and always did! It's just this time you need listen more carefully, cause it's not that obvious and you need to dig deeper. +there were hints in interviews

 

I honestly starting to think that you guys are just deaf...or its a big conspiracy and you already know everything and just no one talks about it cause it's super fucking secret))) anyway Im dazed & confused

I like the Yen price on the import version for Japan (AKA US or EU domestic release), nods nicely back to the early Aphex Warp era :cool:

(also lel at the product page including the translation-jumbled press release, bet there's a few heads being scratched over in Japan)

btw he haven't actually said Tuss was him, right? Because if we read interview, he only says bout his last record was released in rephlex, and the thing with [tuss] is just interviewer ideas on what was actually released, like [grant wilson claridge] later in text. it's like translator's edit in books, you got idea. thx to organka
