i mean, if stereogum or pitchfork framed it as "afx is releasing an album every few days"

then it would look different to the world

 

i think this says something about the perceived value of internet music

if he released a ~15-disc box set then it would give some perspective as to the actual significance

but for whatever reason uploading single tracks to soundcloud doesn't seem to mean the same thing

I'm completely on-board with the whole "most baller move by a musician ever" thing and I am also most certainly grateful for what Richard is doing here, but I don't think you could justly frame this as AFX dropping albums left and right. I love a lot of these songs, some make me wonder how they never saw an official release, but if I'm being serious with myself I'd say that a fair amount are a bit below his usual standards as well. I think he definitely could put together a few albums here that would sound cohesive and warrant remastering, but I think most people (including the media for a change) are correct in their line of thinking. We're simply being inundated with a bunch of tracks. Some are awesome, some are not-so-awesome, some sound like unfinished ideas, but for the most part they're simply good. But yeah, still the greatest thing ever for an Aphex fan like myself.

i think it was from a syrobonkers interviews, right? (just checked - wrong) or some other in the same time, i kinda remeber this story already... he probably just cut that part and pasted in Sekonda description cause it was "that other track off microdots" he was referring.

thank you ri chard d jams

This is the deal with Richard and what makes him awesome. Not only are his tunes the greatest but he's also a cool character with funny and amusing stories. I think that's always added to his allure, at least for me. Most electronic musicians aren't that interesting are they? He is the exception.

He's just an ordinary guy with extraordinary talents and is probably also slightly crazy. Like the rest of us

so 18 new tracks and that saw track few sec longer, or did I miss more?

He's living in a bank

He's riding on a tank

He barely even sleeps

He's herding lot of sheeps

He's got a pretty hair

For cash he doesn't care

He's got a famous grin

He's Aphex fucking Twin

I wish MS Short was MS Long.

 

Loving this batch - so much variety!

This! You took the words out of my thoatie.

Please the long version. Loving those acid baselines with them dreamy pads. :D

+plus loving the new batch. this is quality stuff!

Since it's fair to assume F means fade-out version, slo means slowed down, Un means unfinished?

Beautiful

Also surprised but happy some SAWII-sessions tracks have popped up. Would have expected more in the dump unto this point. But happy nevertheless!

I'd love some moar!

Yeah, it's kind of incredible - I never thought I'd get to hear SAW2 outtakes.

:music:

Hello braindancers. I´ve been busy the last weeks, and haven´t had time to follow the thread. Can someone point me to the last upload of the soundcloud stuff? I only have the first 111 tracks before they were available in 320.
