has anyone created a zip file or something for the cover art on tracks that have them? I would go nuts filing thru 230 tracks.

Anyone got an up to date zip? That link a few posts up is missing the last 20 or so tracks. Was holding out for HQ downloads, but just want these bits stored on my computer now!

Was reading some old interviews for a second time and found this quite funny to read after all thats going on right now.

You’ve been previously thinking of putting out a DAT with four hours of your music for free, with no copyright on the recordings. Have you changed your mind?

"(laughing) Yeah, it’s a bit of a contradiction, I think. But if you gonna bother to release some things you may as well rinse it to the maximum. It depends on the tracks I reckon because with other things I don’t care what happens to them. When I said that I was gonna release a DAT of four hours on it I meant older tracks that I wouldn’t ever really release on an album. In that situation I wouldn’t have really cared whereas the ones I lost were all new ones, none of them were more than two years old"

and...this!

Why is the album coming out now, five years after your last album „Richard D. James“?

"(laughing) The reason I release this actually is that I lost one of those mp3 players and I had 282 unreleased tracks of mine on it and 80 unreleased Squarepusher tracks and I left it on a plane. I was with Grant (Wilson-Claridge, Rephlex owner) on a flight to Scotland to do a gig about four months ago. I’ve had the mp3s for like six months and he was laughing at me saying „Are you going to lose that?“ and I was like „I’m never going to lose this!“. And then five minutes later I left it on the plane."

282 tunes! 30 made it to drukqs release...252 unheard of tunes left.

Fixed ;)

Clissold Crescent sounds like it was definitely written with Mike P.... no? The chord progressions and palette sound like royal astronomy, then with some afx beats and bass thrown over it.

New comments on 4 Red Calx [slo] and They're Here Aahha with new artwork on that track as well. did he update the info to 1889-90 or was that there before?

  Did you know Tod Dockstader? Some brilliant concrete/ambient works from the early 1960s:ubu.com/sound/dockstader.html

  @cyclotron: why of course, I remember first playing sean booth some of his stuff on my tour bus..way back

  @user18081971: soz, had to mention that, ha, anyway RIP Todd you are amazing mate, massive inspiration

edit: 1889 as it says on track info

Maybe he's trying to tell us he's a secret time traveller and he wrote that while visiting one of the Paris Universal Expositions. Also that Ghosties track mentioned in those comments is quite funky.

Collabo or he was doing one in Mike's style, love that one.

if it was RDJ must have stepped in and said 'hey mike can we just dial the reverb decay down on this one? I promise you can keep the decay up to 20 seconds on all the other tracks, i just want a conservative amount of reverb on this one, thanks

"

there was a nice review of the tracks in the newest issue of the Wire magazine, its about half a page long. Not surprisingly the Wire actually took the time to denigrate (slightly) 'IDM' era of his as not as exciting as the Ravey period. Otherwise the review was very complimentary and also points out how Richard might have been the first person to make a 'fast' techno tune.

Nice one, was looking for that!

Also, description to SallyVingoe I didn't see before, so it might be jazzband / Chris Cunningham Beef:

1989ish

this track always reminds me of driving around cornwall wiv me friends at night, especially driving to the Bowgie club from Lanner, was so lush going to an amazing club on loads of country lanes, to a club on the cliffs by an awesome beach, lucky we were.

My fave way to listen to music, in a car at night with mates, hoofing around cornish lanes with a J, especially when they are high cornish hedges on both sides.

Who edits the googledocs spreadsheet....

He still has't added the note to "Floating..." that it was played at Forbidden Fruit ...
