Another dark soundcloud (after them announcing paid subscriptions as well as being almost bankrupt):

 

http://www.factmag.com/2015/08/12/soundcloud-is-suspending-peoples-accounts-over-music-that-they-own/

youtube wouldn't let me upload my own music stating that it was already licensed, even though it wasn't licensed and yep, pain in arse, much pain.

Forgive me if this has already been pointed out, but '11 Donkey Rhubarb Remix' is now '11 Donkey Rhubarb rdjchild Remix'.

Perfect response from a guy who's been asked to make his tracks downloadable at least 800 times since January

And he's got a point. Can't download the track.

lol thanks, will check it out.

someone seriously needs to explain Soundcloud to BoC! ffs man, if BoC released ~300 of their early tracks on Soundcloud I'm pretty sure I would literally have a heart attack and aneurysm at the same time

highly doubt BOC has anything near the amount of unreleased tracks as these guys

Richard's being a softie, he could take a below the belt shot about how _________________

If he did it wouldn't change the fact that soft-batch Ricky _______ ___ ______

What's all these bits blanked out? It looks lame as fuck.

unless they're lying in their interviews, BoC have been making music basically full-time since the late 1980s ... they lived in a commune (for most of this time) and made a ridiculous amount of music. i'd guess they have roughly as much stuff as RDJ.

and even if they have less, i'm guessing it's higher quality than a lot of this Aphex soundcloud stuff ... I worked through most of it today and obviously 2/3rds of the tracks are crap (which is fine, that still leaves ~100 quality tracks; thanks Richard!).

i find that incredibly hard to believe, and I've read those claims in the interviews. It's true though that when i first read it about Richard I doubted it too, so i guess anythings possible. Im curious to hear some of their early live recordings, I remember reading they would do these epic psychedelic rock jams with drum solos. Sort of ironic that pretty much entire sub genres of music later appeared which were essentially people putting a psychedelic alt-rock spin on the BOC aesthetic

Any examples on the psychedelic BOC alt rock?

you went through 17 hours of music today and judged most of it to be crap?

 

(hi pbn)

literally listened to the tracks all day (I was excited!) while working; obviously if I wasn't feeling a track I would skip around a bit or just delete it, but I think I literally spent 8-10 hours listening to Aphex

[hello!]

You're not supposed to listen to the entire archive in one sitting. It's no wonder you got bored of it.

Spread the material across a few sessions. Maybe limit yourself to 20-30 tracks a day. Don't skip anything unless you're really really not enjoying it. Then do the same thing again some other time. Alternatively, you could listen to the dump on shuffle now and again.

There are some absolute gems here which completely blow his 2015 releases out of the fucking water. In fact, I'd regard some of it as his all-time best work. You need to give this material a fair chance, and eventually you'll reap the rewards :)
