Richard D James SoundCloud - A Gift To The Fans

Yeah, PAE2B is mega dope. Loving it on first listen (haven't gotten to the others yet). I agree this has got to be more recent!

Did you see the comment "yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa soooooaoaaaaaahhhhccie" on D14?

Pretend Analog...Tuss era?

God the two newest are soo good

Pretend Analog Extmix 2b

 

Good god. Instant favourite.

Seriously. Can't believe this kind of quality is just being thrown up there. Amazing tune. The gift that keeps on giving! Getting the vibe it was recorded around the time Fenix Funk and XMDA was.

 

actually after the 2 minute part, some aspects remind me of the midsect in xmaseve. I'd throw a few on this one being post 2000 with you.

I'm not sure when tamclap2 was made downloadable, but it's weird having to retread to make sure I can get the higher res versions every once in awhile. Is there any rhyme or reason to this?

Sounds almost Syro-esque to me...

Seemingly not. And then even more randomly adding comments to old tracks.

Does anyone reckon all of this free music is, in part, a reaction to Aphex's music on Spotify/streaming services?

I noticed some drukqs tunes had been removed from YouTube, having been up for ages prior to this year.

 

Really annoyed those were taken down. All those comments and views are gone forever now. I can say for sure that a good percentage of people would never have become fans of Aphex if they couldn't listen to his tracks on youtube. All it ends up leading to is people pitch shifting and time stretching the songs so they can bypass the copyright filter, which always sound awful.

 

highly doubtful the removal of the youtube tracks had anything to do with RDJ himself, probably just Warp

Pretend Analog.... whooaaaaaaaa

Pretend Analog! Analord era w0000000t!!!

i can keep up, pliss don't stop

RDJ being relatively tight-lipped on the timing of the tracks that seem to be recent, right? He seems disinclined to identify tracks as being post-2000...

I wouldn't be surprised if "Pretend Analog" was far older than 2005...

its the'...' that makes me think you know this as fact.

My guess is Pretend Analog is recent. D14 and Phonge I have no idea. D14 and Soachie in the name make me think more recent.

its cute when Joyrex acts like he knows the actual eras the tracks are from sometimes, as if RDJ would be giving him completely accurate information

or alternatively joyrex is a badass who already heard a bunch of these tracks a while ago

My opinion on that differs depending on whether his opinion suits my own : )

Funny how Aphex fans very often think his music came much later than it actually did. That's what happens to most trailblazers because they are fucking with our concept of time.

^ this

obviously Aphex fan here, but I don't think the newest track is 2014 or even 2005, sounds like an improved Universal Indicator to me (improved because most of UI was a bit boring)

this at least has the melody n variation n stuff

I have a fairly strong feeling these were made around the same time as Fenix Funk.. which maybe wasn't made right before releasing analord10.. Maybe he made them in 1979 and sat on them until 2005 because he finally deemed them ready for public consumption.

Is it just me, or has his comments section disappeared....?

Edit: appears to be soundcunt glitchery...

Sometimes I feel like Joyrex just likes stirring the rumor/speculation/misinformation pot.

*Edit by sometimes I mean pretty much all the time

D14 - must be ages old.

Pretend Analog extmx 2b - I'd hazard a guess that it's made around the same time as the analord stuff.

edit: and jus biked in again to say that I fucking love PAE2b. good lord how did this not get pressed up.

you can tell afx made rushup edge by those lush pads on pretend analog. what a tune
