No way. Aphex Twin category in a cd shop? If I would ever ask electronic music in my local music store, they would be like. WTF M8

HMV? They really know music there... Twins, lol

Head in Bromley, actually. Been meaning to photograph it for a while.

I was gonna say the labelling looked Head-esque.

 

To be honest, most of the record stores I've been to usually have an Aphex Twin section, whether it's a chain or an indie shop. HMV Cardiff even has an AFX section filled with HABs.

wow youre lucky, where you live

 

in several years, i was only able to find tuss EP in "house" section, and RDJ LP in..."Pop", right after madonna (was pure luck).

Head, that's what used to be Virgin right? I wasn't even aware they were still going.

 

One of my local HMVs had I Care, RDJ and Syro in the vinyl racks last time I looked

It's an independent chain like Fopp and Select-a-Disc used to be, which came about from the remains of Head Entertainment which was the administrative company who bought out Zavvi (formerly Virgin)... I think.

Yeah, that sounds familiar, I'd forgotten about Zavvi. Speaking of Fopp, the Nottingham branch has gone really downhill, I used to enjoy a visit to discover the odd £3 bargain and unusual finds the big shops didn't carry but it's like an hmv now, hardly surprising since they own them

I've found legofeet rerelease cd, caustic window compilation, MOT, and some other stuff at Zia's in southwestern US - my shock when i saw these = (big number), + TH/Exai vinyls

Was listening to 180db this morning with it's massive sounding drums and now that I've heard CCAI2 it got me wondering if they were computer controlled here as well?

sounds like a classico drum loop to me.

xmas_Metz though, i'd say that one *might* be looped from his robot drums.

That's what it says in the gear list on the cover, anyway.

That track is 10 years old and I don't think Rich has had his drum robots for that long, so I'm gonna go ahead and guess nope.

I agree that sounds more like a sample in 180dB, but RDJ just revealed that he was playing with solenoid beaters already on Drukqs.

There was a soundcloud clip in syrobonkus review of that HAT part in xmas_eve. Should be floating around somewhere with the rest of the tracks from the interview. The first time I heard the said part in Xmas_Eve I too thought that it might have some HAT magic. One of the few times I've actually been right about something. It's a sweet bit in an awesome track!

http://www.mediafire.com/listen/knt7l8r5xjjsd7m/12+-+metz+pa+hat+break.mp3 seems to have been recorded from off a speaker or something? doesn't sound very good

He explained that bit in the interview, how he played his breaks when soundchecking before a gig to hear how it would sound on a massive PA system, then record that.

ah, right. all that reverb and such kinda kills the possibility of sampling it, which i'd love to do.
