Richard D James SoundCloud - A Gift To The Fans

"Over a 100 Aphex Twin demos, some of which date as far back as the '80s, were uploaded to SoundCloud by James earlier this year.

well no shit, there were over 200 actually. What fucking lazy writers. They don't even mentioned the other two EPs after syro and CCAI and they don't even mention any of the MFM speculation either.

That being said, I can't wait for more information about SAW 1.5 to come out !

i'm superhiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiipe

when's the last time santa clause brought you some shit? i got the same feeling for imminent new afx surprises

when's the last time santa clause brought you some shit?

LOL

yo guys

and what about that comment he made on shroomdot to this guy that said he heard him play it on his first squarepusher gig in blue note, a bit weird innit?

is it the daddy? maybe he'll start uploading 2

eeeeeeeeeeeee

I'm pretty sure I'd be happier with Tom's unreleased tunes than I'm with Richs.

And that's something already.

What a fucking baller.

Who is even remotely on the same level as Richard is in doing this type of shit? Nobody. except for Mike Paradinas

Concur. Certified baller move.

I keep beginning to type a sentence saying that I'd prefer older/newer/noisy/melodic/whatever, but I just don't. Fuck, I just want to hear these tapes!

I wonder if he'll give some idea as to how the tapes are organized that they are coming from.

Lanner B4 Ardkore: 1990 not the greatest track but worth noting that when i made it, there was no jungle or hardcore, was first to my knowledge and there was no other dance music this fast! the fastest track that came close was by 2 kilos and that was a little afterwards

Still digging the AB6 tracks. Really cool, distinct sounds from the others. Also the full title of track 6 needs to be "Step Up to Cornwall (and get knocked the f&%k out!)"

It'd be pretty crazy if he was storing Druqks tracks on tapes

I suspect he has far fewer Druqks tracks than any other type, he said himself those were the tracks he spent the most time on(I think that interview was pre-Tuss/Minipops tho)

DATs are tapes too.

carry more songs though. but you're right.

Even more pedantic you can get 15, 34, 64 minute DATs lol, plus he prob records several mixes of each song so I reckon we're going to get 6 songs and they are all mixes of Untitled-7-Dat-Experiment

It's free, vintage, rare unreleased Aphex. I don't care what era given how generous he's being. I'll enjoy them regardless of what era they are from.

Good one...

Love this shit!

this is (hopefully) gonna fuck the votes up good style! can,t wait!

+ more versions of p.e.? yes please,love that track!

Been listening to these tracks quite a lot while working for the last few weeks and gems keep popping up all over the place. Gonna have to do some tweaking to my votes at some point I think. And more on the way! Bring it on!! :D

Yes, I sorted mine originally between ones I liked and ones I didn't. I have moved several across but it is one way traffic. There are none going from like to dislike.

Been thinking about cramming my plane full with money bills and drop it on RDJ's porch. With an extra note on top saying: "yours if you master the entire bunch of sc-tracks and release them digitally". He's still in the music for cash business, right?

Serious question:

.........all this SC stuff is amazing BUT how many think its pure ultra modern marketing effort by Aphex's hidden management posse?

Sure it has the veneer of a musician-with-integrity-touching-base-with-fans.... but could it all be just another music industry charade?

Does it even matter?.... if its all about the tunes anyway?
