I checked my skepticism at the door some time ago but I still get the feeling that some of these tracks don't sound like any of Richard's previous work at all. I know he is incredibly versatile and is one of the only artists who could undergo such transformation, but damn. There are quite a few previously unexplored avenues of sound being displayed here. At times I wonder, at the very least, if some of this material was the result of collaboration. If not the work of someone else entirely (shots fired?).

One thing i took from all this was that his stylistic phases have been very well represented in his official releases. I haven't noticed anything in these tracks that is drastically different from what's covered in his albums/EPs/remixes, and his signature sound is all over all of it. Whoever runs that rare afx site needs to get their ears checked. (I haven't heard the last 20 yet... might be some uncharted territory in there.)

damn man... fmsubbass sounds like it'd be quite the banger... : /

Oh dear me, this new batch is incredible! Those acid riffs, those vibes!

omg.

i keep thinking im gonna be bored of MORE saw85-92 style tracks and then put on phase acid or bob morgan and BANG!!! straight back into the saw85-92 stuff again. can never get sick of this :):) new tracks are amazing.

It was prolly my least favorite from today's batch, I snagged the 128k before it disappeared:

Trying to remember. I put it in correctly on the google doc but someone took it out of the main list and may have changed the number

EDIT: Found the order, '9 wind squidge', 'Fmsubbass', 'bob morgan'

EDIT2: Fixed the google doc

So are all the tracks available in 320 now? I'd been grabbing them in 128... Should I go back and re-grab them all?

Not all but most, and yes.

I must say the occasional tape degradation on the 88-90 era tunes adds a pleasing William Basinski-esque quality to the tracks.

MOARRR???

*faints*

Like 2 more albums? I'm going to need more drugs.

Dulc Dub, such a banger (as if all weren't)

Can someone post a list of anything that was deleted today? I'm scared to be missing something

This is all so amazing holy shit

Holy fuckinncfdskl

Fuck Warp right now!

Richard D. James kills Soundcloud!

Edit: highlights for me on this round are water and Sekonda thru Bradley echoes. Water takes the cake, sounds so familiar and fits perrrfectly alongside 14 07 B and slightly with 12 space beat

It just hit me how seemingly personal this is..

RDJ could have charged YOU $100 to have these tracks. To listen to his music, he could easily have asked for money... And we all would have happily thrown it his way.

We're talking about 100+ beautiful tracks.

Instead 0 money is exchanged. Here I am listening to new(old) AFX because HE took it upon himself to give it to each and every little boy and girl.

Like every day people play music for each other for free, duh. But how often does someone at that level give away so much?

Really hits me. I mean I'm sure he's got more money than he can spend, or would care to spend..Probably doesn't need more. But it really feels like such a kindness from a place where that is so unusual.

Cheers man, thanks for the great tracks.

Or maybe he can't charge because fuck warp or whatever, that's cool too.

why is it 130 now and not 110 the neweset are not ontop I'm confused? wtf?

320 are you kidding?

Looks like he's been deleting some older uploads, I'm counting 20 new ones but SC says 114 tracks total.

Will probably be burned alive at the stake for this kind of heresy, but I can see where the folks over at rare afx are coming from.

Regardless of my suspicions we're definitely awash in a sea of undiluted AFX acid here, and this will indeed go down in the annals of IDM history as the most baller move of all time.

 

 

Long Live the King.

 

Read the rules.

I'm just getting wind of the new batch!

Now, can anyone tell me...

Since the Future Music/Vibert track, how many total have gone up?

My count is 20 new ones. Is that right???

Is there a maximum sound length you can upload?

If your sound is over 6 hours and 45 minutes long, our system will not be able to transcode it.

mmhmm
