Richard D James SoundCloud - A Gift To The Fans

yeah those good old dial-up days hahhaha

was on a 56k modem back them, took me fucking hours upon hours to download an album, max speed was 2.5-5 max. back then i thought 128k was the nuts.

I think the 128k is great beacuse it lends to that era when 128k mp3s were the best you could do.

yeah exactly

it suits the lo-fi demo tape feel - wouldnt want a lot of this stuff to be too pristine.

it just needs to read our reviews to see if his music always good and recognize the tracks that have most affected ... especially know the tastes of his fans ... it allows him to move on, to go further and get rid of his old tracks to go ahead for new sounds and new music: the need to be innovative? Yes, and with our comments and ratings! ;-)

thanks!

Thanks for this. Working right now on my own set, using the big mega .rar as a starting point, re-tagging with custom artwork where present, using aphex twin as artist unless it's clearly a pseudonym, and using 2015 unless the notes list a year/range.

what`s this all about https://user48736353001.bandcamp.com/album/strepsipter

that's strange, 'cause i don't have this corrupted file and the full lenght i've it's 4:30... strange but true after En Ex confirmation... 'cause i've not dwlded this corrupted version... i would like to listen it to see the difference...

I missed the error initially, but yeah, the longer one is corrupted. I thought it was a different edit at first, but now I see what happened and why Richard reuploaded it. The 4:30 track is the correct version.

Interesting that the name got a slight tweak, though.

obvious fake shit that, by using the name aphex twin like that, is borderline criminal

yeah, i'm confused, 'cause... even if it's free, how can we enjoy Richard's success?

http://www.theguardian.com/music/musicblog/2015/jan/29/aphex-twin-soundcloud-dump-shock-and-delight?CMP=share_btn_fb

Certainly a fake, but I agree with some others in that it's an impressive fake in its dedication to early RDJ style

Yep - there are quite a few that ended up appearing as officially released tracks with slight tweaks...

yeah, i was thinking it was most likely some copycat. thought i`d put up the link though cos you hardcore aphex heads will have a better ear for this stuff than me

oh man... japan is so crazy...

Lackluster is so funky. Haven't even listened to more than ~7 tracks. Just what I needed during exam preparation time. Incredible.

Thanks, Richard.

So the consensus is that there have been 111 tracks uploaded, and 2 taken down?

I have 111 and don't see any doubles, knew that the dark girl/boy song had disappeared after i got it.

I'm curious what the other missing track is.

yeah, dunno if you saw earlier, it's a remix of a Soft Ballet song "Sand Lowe" under his Polygon Window alias on a CD in the 90s. Really fucking lush, Rich always seems to know how to work female vocals into his music so well.
