What the fuck are Warp making of all this?

they're fucking pissed

 

How does these label deals even work? Surely you don't sign away all your material when doing a deal and you can release outtakes whathaveyou however you want? Or?

Why isn't he releasing these tracks on vinyl instead of giving them for free?

yea but he must bust be like "cmon rich, I thought we were mates. Couldn't you spare ones for warp? ffs"

As I posted above, it really depends on the deal. These days contracts are very varied. Some artists opt to sign away all of their output to a company, and in return they'll receive distribution, marking, and funds for mastering and studio time. Often the funds given are a kind of a loan to be paid back through revenue so they have to keep outputting work to pay back the cash. I imagine with an artist who works as different as RDJ, the contract is a bit "different" too, but who knows.

I think that track is an early version of Every Day, yeah.

"Aphex thinks he does a lot if he does five interviews he’s done a lot in a campaign, so it’s nice to almost see how little he can do but yet reach lots of people with online communications."

Master of passive aggressiveness

All the vocal samples are from an old documentary series called 'Children Talking'. You can find the complete audio of the series online.

This stuff should have been released on Rephlex.

remember in some of those interviews how he expressed frustration with how long it took for warp to put out music after he handed it in? and also how releasing stuff helps him put a line in the sand to not go back?

Yeah Sean said in the AAA thread that the whole AE was Warp's "property".

Long time lurker, first time rules reader. Almost signed up during the Syro buzz but it was enough to just watch things unfold. This time though...last few days have been surreal and awesome, and I had to voice my appreciation. Hoping that we get another load today, I've had many "It's probably over now" moments but it kept coming, so I'm holding out hope. C'mon Ziggomatic 16!

On a side note, is WATMM "partnered" with any other sites? I ask because after signing up, I automatically got a profile image that I happen to use, or have used, on a couple of other sites, but haven't uploaded a single image to my WATMM profile. Weird!

Late to the party. 28 organ is a masterpiece. My heart is full.

That's probably your 'gravatar', but you can choose another one if you like.

That's it, I remember messing with gravatar for some other site a while back. Cheers.

IT BEGINS

21 Forgotten

MOAR!!!

New track up

How you guys organzing things?

I've tagged my tracks in terms of how they fit with releases and alias:

Tags are "Caustic", "Polygon", "AFX", "Electro", "HAB", "Ambient", "Analord", "Drukqs", "?"

There's lots of The first three above, not much druqks/analord.. but that all fits with the nature of these archive tracks I guess.

Its great anyway!!

Just a quick note: https://soundcloud.com/somadrilis uploading tracks.

 

He's the guy Richard said he was "skinning up" with and smoking it, you know. Worth a peak.

wuts the watmm hive mind consensus on this?

 

ha, 6 pin sin

 

Just skimmed a few of the somadril tracks, sounds really good but I don't think its AFX.

Also somadril is tagging his tracks much more carefully than afx does.

Its notable though that Somadril is the only account followed by user48736353001. Maybe afx likes it.

Nice! Back to 89-90 going by the description. Sounds like a classic already. Buckle up, the ride is back on.
