Holy fuck, Ibiza Spliff. Such an amazing track. So lucky and grateful that we finally get to hear it.

 

Yeah. Another side of Richard we never really got to hear.

calms the bejesus outta you

 

Just what i was imagining

thank you friend sagan

 

edit: i seem to have spelled beach wrong in all my excitement this morning.

 

 

 

I read through the comments quickly after returning home from work, but don't even recall reading yours. Odd that it would stick with me like that in my subconscious only to reveal itself when I began visualizing what the song reminded me of. Couldn't have been sheer coincidence as I actually typed something along the lines of "8-bit nature gif" in my search bar.

That picture must be 16 bit though. Here's eight:

strange, user48736353001's page is now a different account

and the other account is now 8user48736353001

That's just the caustic window account jumping on a now unused username.

Top trolling, basically.

Fuck sake, I'm trying to hold off listening to any of these until after an exam tomorrow. I know what I'm doing for the summer anyway.

More 8 or 16-bit animated gifs paired with RDJ birdies please!

Trippin balls over the ibiza spliff purple water cave thing :)

Wat

But it is an anagram.

ha, he's just posted a comment saying he hasn't received his grammy yet, but when he gets it he's going to keep it in the toilet.

this person seems like an afx fanboy who is trying to convince ppl he is afx by copying richard's comment styles and tags etc, posting tracks when he sees that richard is posting. the music sounds like it was made recently, and is largely software, or at least mixed in the box. lots of bitcrusher plugins / modern glitch effect plugins and other stuff that richard quit using 10 years ago. some cool tracks tho.

 

this. very little musical personalities are discernable from all the other user****** accounts.

We did some heavy investigating back in February and it seemed like https://soundcloud.com/ogieand

were somehow involved

 

The brainwaltzera account has a ton of greek letters/writing, or as ogie himself commented on one track "macedonian" which fits with his profile

 

I downloaded a bunch of the brainwaltzera tracks early on and their actual names were very different, suggesting repurposed tracks for the hoax, one of them ("leesa waar") had "mis-bit" as the artist name and "mis-bit music" as the genre or something

 

One one of the tracks with Mad@nn@ in the title had a comment where ogie said "u r 2 mis-bit :)" which is extra suspicious because after i mentioned it on watmm he took the comment down

 

It looked like maybe multiple people got their tracks together to get this going

 

The art style is not very afx

 

There's a lot of cheesy sounding percussion here and there

 

If afx made a track called "Ten Ton Fenix" it would probably get its own vinyl release and maybe a video

 

The comments are not very aphexy

 

The april 14 track is just a cindi lauper song slowed down to an hour, try it yourself (time after time), doubtful afx would do this

 

Also brainwaltzera had given up for a while pretending to be afx and started pretending to be u-Ziq, and now can't seem to decide-- he used to post after AFX posted, then he switched to following u-ziq and now he does it with AFX again

 

The tone of the writing is very different between the accounts, from track titles to comments

 

Compare these two comments on the same subject, different writing styles, concerning sounding like boards of Canada:

 

Brainwaltzera:

dont fink i had heard of em yet when i did this but i def see where ur coming from

 

afx:

id never heard of them when i made this, ha

 

again, hadnt heard of them when i made this, I think when I did it put me off doing these kinda tracks actually, not knocking BOC either, love a lot of their music

 

Brainwaltera is saying "fink" every two seconds, not Rich

 

The various comments from Rich have better vocab, grammar and spelling in general compared to brainwaltzera - brainwaltz comments seem like maybe english was not their first language

 

I don't think afx would ever call anything "brainwaltzera" himself too cheezy

 

Richard has hardly used a single greek letter and brainwaltzera was pretty much bleeding greek lettering for a while

 

When you really think about it the track names are nothing like the ones on the confirmed account

 

I could go on and on, but if Richard or Mike were secretly involved I think it would be a little more of a refined production, better track choices ,names, comments, more elaborate hoaxing and trolling, etc

 

Sorry about the stream of consciousness debunking but i'm trying to remember all my thoughts on this

 

 

 

Excellent deductions mate. Once again internets, you've pwned me. Fucking bastard...

Yet still, like the poster in Fox Mulder's office, I want to believe...oh well. Still like a lot of those tunes though.

Again, I personally love the music on this account, been following it and champioining it from early on and always hoped there was something behind it (yes i wanted to believe and that def clouded my judgement). I feel vindicated thou that RDJ himself has expressed his affection for the music (twice) and it suprises me that people are conveniently skiiping over that minor detail...I mean I'm sure he wouldn't semi-endorse a blatant "afx fanboy" who's just ripping him off with cheap software.....there's got to be a million of those on Soundcloud and youtube, why brainwaltzera? people went nuts over the few other accounts he complemented (how many are there total? one more?)....but hey everyone's entitled to their own opinion, even Rich. In any case....it's definitely not RDJ IMO, thus the discussion belongs here: http://forum.watmm.com/topic/86497-good-soundclouds-used-to-be-possible-rdj-soundclogs/

Plus the new uploads on the user confirmed account are unbelievable right now. let's focus on that

Happy who, like Ulysses, has a beautiful musical journey [...]

Justin Vernon alledgedly keeps his Grammy awards on his toilet too. Must be a recent craze.

he's changed his bloody name again!

ah, his birthday...

I got scared then and thought he'd deleted every last one

Cornish Spreek5b is one of those tracks I seriously don't understand wasn't released in some way. It's far better than anything on AB4 (apart from maybe cuckoo)

Would I be correct in saying that there are currently 32 tracks in this latest batch? (from Triple D to Cornish Spreek, and discounting the 'watery' dupe)

Just wanna make sure I'm up to date with everything.

Also, his neverending username changes are shitting all over my tagging system haha. Think I'm gonna just rename the album/playlist to 'Soundcloud Stuff'

The reason why diamonds are so valuable is because their availability in the market is artficially controlled and restrained. In the same way, I think Aphex held back on all these tunes cause it would have been too much and we wouldn't have been able to absorb and appreciate his music (that's sort of happening to me now with all these amazing tunes). As prolific as he is, he also has a great sense/taste for curation and his albums and EPs (even thouh he's often mocked them as a medium) are balanced and cohesive bodies of work. At the same time, any other dude would simply put out a greatest hits or grammy recap collection with "rare unrelease b-sides" or whatever. He opted for this instead....good on ya Rich!
