Finally, the Windowlicker scratch intro mystery has been solved!

 

@chris-lockwood-14: yeah i think i gave the master to cunningham and it got lost, not sure,will check, btw its all me inc. the scratching, people kept asking me is that Luke? if it was luke i would have credited him, funny how people like to assume wht you can and can't do.

 

And that 11th track from the Joyrex tape was a collab with Cylob apparently, and he is just as keen on Richard as he is/was on watmm...

 

@asergh: that was with Cylob so i'd have to ask him, did a few with Chris back in the days when he used to talk to me, he's got some petty grudge against me, miss hanging out with him.

i didn't think it was him scratching either haha. Thats interesting if he can scratch that well he's never done it on another track,. has he?

sorry if this has already been covered but just reading some of his new comments.

he has confirmed that this video was his and was 'recorded in the bank'

which means that potentially Rushup Edge was sequenced mostly on a Yamaha RS7000 squarepusher style?

I can't find the other sister video to this one but I could have sworn it was the piano riff being played from Rushup bank 12 from an Rs7000 sequence

I'm pretty sure that video was made by someone from watmm to demonstrate how easy it was to make it look like he it was Richard playing separate tracks of the song, mainly because of the scepticism towards the authenticity of that original video (parody being the obvious 'shoe-shot').

interesting, so the first video is real but the 2nd one is fake. I love the internet (seriously things are going to be soooo confusing for everybody in 10 years, like to a psychedelic degree)

I used to feel 100% certain that the Aphex in The Tuss's studio video was a fake. Looks like I was 100% wrong.

Heh, and they failed. The real video sounds like a stem, and the fake one is just the actual track lowered in volume.

 

And regarding that little link in his description... oh boy. I mean, I can see it now.

 

Interviewer in 10 years: So why did you quit releasing music on 5/1/2015?

 

Aphex: Some guy thought I was crazy for posting about UFO conspiracies so I took it all down and said fuck it and fuck them.

 

My advice would be to not bring it up at all. Either way it'll only cause argument and possibly less music.

Has he enabled 320 kbps yet on the newest batch?

Wahhh to no official downloads yet! [didn't realize I had my SoundCloud extension turned on so I thought he had enabled] Eeeeee to slothscrape...so beautiful.

 

So what as the Cylob beef on WATMM?

I though you said "newest biatch"

I don't like how the comments on tracks have become primarily a way for people to say "Richard, richard, post this" or "what do you think of this" etc instead of "This track is great especially at 2:54 when" etc

i agree. the tracks themselves are almost being taken for granted. instead we (myself included) are just craving more, rather than appreciating what we've already got

Pretty dull, no?

 

"I like that snare at 1:31 as it reminds me of when Uncle Jimmy used to slap me for working his shaft and balls too vigorously"

yes pretty annoying

On the plus side - new track up! Woot! Piano-y one.

Got to say, really loving the direction the uploads have been taking. A new batch of classics in the making, should never have doubted.

Ooft!

What era for the new two tracks, do you think?

Winding Road sounds a bit more recent to me, in fact some of it sounds very recent. Haven't a clue about Flabbard but I'd guess at mid/late 90's.

3 Slothscrape is fucking amazing!

DAT NUMBER 14

Another oldie (89-90), excellent!!

Those other new tracks are lovely too, I've ran out of superlatives a long time ago but damn...
