Richard D James SoundCloud - A Gift To The Fans

What was that databse website with all the Richard David James publishing rights information? Wonder if there's been a batch of new compositions added recently.

It looks like Syro's tracks have been added and maybe a few others? Certainly not a hundred.

Sams Car is such a tease with the chord progression going on. I keep waiting for that "finished" chord progression bit

love that though

Cannot stop playing ACH. Absolutely relentless.

Just came here to post that. Realized playing it in my car late last night during a rainy night drive. Fucking Lovely - sounds like a Polygon Window (SOSW) outtake.

And many thanks to whoever made the torrent of the 320 version of the files - grabbing it now, will seed for a long ass time :)

Just realized that Green Calx samples could be heard at the end of Japan.
I'm amazed

I got round to playing it on my amp/speakers on Friday night instead of on headphones or in the car, such a banger! By the 5 min mark it is truly hypnotic.Good start to the weekend/end to the working week.

39 fnkmg could have easily fit onto the Mike/Rich EKT release

got a hint of Melodies from Mars on it as well

During the weeks running up to Syro I pretty much played nothing but my rdj collection non-stop. Replaying old tracks was long overdue and felt great. I was abroad when Syro arrived at my house so was a week behind hearing that one but have more than made up for lost time. I've had all my afx stuff on shuffle throughout December and then CCAI came out and now this. I really don't think I'll want to be playing any other tunes for months.

Yeah, it's the third iteration of every four that has the last two chords in it, which is pretty unexpected. It takes a while to wrap your head around, but sort of makes sense once you get used to it. I think it's one of those exercises in lateral (or naïve) thinking that makes the music a bit harder to get into at first, for the first few listens, but keeps it interesting afterwards, once it's familiar, once you're at the point where most music gets too predictable.

But I'm probably reading way too much into it. :)

I really wish they'd release a better quality version of this track

ditto. Been a total RDJ renaissance, One of the most fun parts to the whole CW/Syro hoopla has been revisiting all his old tunes. So much fun.

Paradinas seems to be pretty keen on the idea of getting back and making music with Richard again seeing as he retweeted this comment on 14 07 b:

Really it would be cool to hear him collab with anyone at this point. I think an album with Vibert would be great though he was also talking about potentially working with Derrick May too. While I certainly favor his solo releases I do think that Mike & Rich is probably his most distinct sounding release to date.

Looking through the list. If I'm reading it correctly, there are some extremely interesting recent additions.

Hoping that a Vibert / Aphex collab will materialize someday, my #1 dream collab basically. Hearing Aphex talking about wanting a collab with Mueller makes me moist too.

From Planet Mu's website back in the mid-90's I think. Therefore the 64kpbs quality, would love to hear this in better quality too! A shame they never included this one :)

Someone may have already said this, but what is the possibility that this SC bounty is all leadup and promo for a forthcoming "Unreleased Aphex Backcatalog" compilation, coming from Warp in the not too distant future?

Is there any chance that these are tracks that "just didn't make the cut?"

maybe a reissue of his backcatalog ? (on, donkey rhubarb, ventolin, girl/boy, drukqs)

Selected Ambient Works Vol. 'Tree'

Hangable Autobulb 2&3 (Although two was already released originally)

Credit for a bunch of covers.

it's allways like that. You think you've heard all aphex and then boom! new track. thank you very much, Icct.

Richard said he hated Mike&Rich album, he was pissed while doing it, and he was pissed by releasing it

But i think thats a really good album, considering it was made in a week

i did nothing in this week, thanks James!

For real? That kinda sucks to hear but I believe it. I recently read an interview with Mike and he said when he first submitted his work to Richard he said something along the lines of "Yeah, it sounds ok. But it's all b-sides. You have to make some a-sides, ok?"

Brutal.

Even my parents didn't hate EKT, and they normally run screaming into the night from from electronic music of any kind.

LOL, except Dad also said EKT sounded like a Frank Zappa rip-off, just like Milk Man.

Definitely brutal, but with all due respect to Mike (someone who's music I like but never loved), it's a pretty good way to summarise AFX vs Mu-Ziq

Brutal thread is brutal

Just to clarify - when Mag says Richard was pissed, he means drunk/high (or both) - Mike also has recounted that they were both "under the influence' when making Mike and Rich. I think it was done for a laugh more than anything.

Yeah, I mostly agree with that sentiment though I do believe that he has improved and more than earned his acclaim. I guess the reverse is true for Mike with regards to building a label and promoting artists, however.

Hey, at least you can say Mike's label ended up being a success in the end!

Kinda the vibe I got from it as well which is why it surprised me to hear that. Maybe not an outright joke, but it didn't seem like they were going for anything serious. It's got a goofy saturday morning cartoons on LSD thing going for it but overall I still think it's a fun listen.
