yeah a proper MFM release was possible by the end of the year iirc

where do you have that from? :)

rich said it on sc a while back, company that presses wax for warp was like swamped or something said he had to get it in soon. also a little birdie told me we would have another release before the end of the year

At this moment, all I can think of is to just stop buying physical bullshit alltogether. All that physical crap makes it more elaborate to release stuff. It's a waste of valuable resources. Not only time, but also natural resources. The next artist I'll see preaching that Western society is being unsustainable and at the same time wants to press his work on pieces of oil ... Well... He or she deserves a bitchslap. To say the least.

maybe so, but it's not going away anytime soon. people have a hard time knocking tradition. and since it's the hip thing to collect vinyl these days that'll only make it harder to change. i don't really care about it either way, i only have digi minus a few cds these days, but i can see the appeal of vinyl so whatevs

i'm totally opposite, i hate downloads doesn't feel the same as something physical

if afx released a blank cd/vinyl i'd still pay whatever the asking price was

Hey pretty much did with the MACHROMT3a single!

was listening to some live stuff apparently unreleased afx from a cylob set. we are in for some shit when he starts sorting it all out some more

meanwhile, triple d is great. organ follows it amazingly

when did cylob play these? they're sick but ya sound like the rome stuff, but those should totally be released

 

idk, i got that from someone around here

the posts from afx's facebook page are deleted and the latest one is from 2012. why did they delete?

I was already afraid of the government, and wary of terrorists, but now I have to watch out for psychic attacks? Jesus...

ConSec is here

Isn't the "new afx 4" song there off the squarepusher warp 20 set?

=/

It definitely sounds like squarepusher anyways with that little synth guitary plucky bass dealy..

yeah, I added a y to more words than necessary there. wot

I replied to Ivan's comment on Soundcloud, but it looks like Rich deleted it! And then replied himself! Pretty sure this is some sort of psychic warfare.

wtf? what was it? i'm scared....

Only told you which perk you needed to avoid the wife's attacks. I don't think Rich likes Fallout :(

aphex twin is pretty good.

Dude Ivan you're all buddy buddy with the afx now. 50% of his replies are to you.

I'm still amazed, and confused even, at how these two were accepted in a completely homophobic timeslot. ( not implying the current time isnt homophobic, btw) People werent that naieve, right?

Yes they were, and they were so up to very recently.

24 Tsim 2 confirmed for best sc track of all time

Imgaine say some people from Coventry U.K or Texas shot loads of people in China, would you also agree it was ok for China to bomb Birmingham or Texas?

Totally. As Isis declared war against France, bombing isis HQs & their training camps makes perfect sense. That's war is about sadly. i never thought someone who had been smoking pot for 25 years & who read nothing but sequencers manuals would write anything smart but that's fucking stupid... That said, i wound not listen to acid tracks made by geopolitics specialists. Each to his own.

Oh no.

Agreed!

I'm not the one to believe bombing will solve anything. In fact bombing is part of the problem in the first place. However, this comment, at best, is a horrendous oversimplification of a complex issue. Those refugees that Rich mentioned were being housed by some of his mates fled from the same group responsible for the Paris attacks (or the other group fighting them, or the other group fighting both of them etc etc). Also there's a big difference between criminal violence and political or terrorist violence i.e. u can't hold an entire country responsible for a serial killer but you can hold a country responsible for an act of war. In any case, ISIS is not a country. It's a religious fundamentalist terrorist organisation which in its effort to become a caliphate (or empire) is taking over other countries. Many events and poor decisions of many countries (western and middle eastern included) have led to this BUT that should not leave ISIS off the hook, neither should it make them appear any less responsible for their violent and despicable actions.

In any case, given that political and metaphysical comments are being posted more and more often on his account, I would suggest the creation of a different thread for this conversation (for whoever wants to participate) and keep this one about the music.

Sincerely, ur in house geopolitical expert who comes here to get away from that shit

your comment leads me to believe that you are not very geopolitically expert, keyed in to the true subtleties of the current US backed proxy army sometimes called isis.

secondly, i am of two minds about separating rich's comments on his soundcloud from a thread specifically about his soundcloud. Yes, it does take away from the music discussion that this thread was initially about, but then again is it really taking away, rather it's added another dimension to the matter that is still perfectly on topic, given that the comments are nested within his soundcloud account, and creating a separate thread would be to confuse both users and the flow of conversation and marginalize rich's feelings.

As to what richard said, there is this sovereign country that still exists that is called Syria, no foreign power has a right to perform any military action within it's borders without the permission of that country. So when the US goes in to do resupply airdrops for isis (i'm sorry, i mean the 'moderate rebels'), or israel bombs Syrian army munitions dumps, or now france does whatever, these are all illegal actions and warcrimes under international law. Syria has invited Russia into it's country to clean up isis, and Russia in the space of a few weeks has been wiping out ISIS/daesh/ISIL/whatever you want to call this despicable mercenary band. This is in stark contrast to the illegal US bombing campaign (US generals were complaining that they didn't want to be ISIS' airforce) that stretched over a year and an half that only saw isis gain territory and influence, sell more oil etc.

The concept that these areas in the map don't belong to anyone and western powers can just do whatever they like with them needs to be erased from the minds of the western public. These western nation states are acting as terrorists. So richard is right, in a sense, when he writes that the west shouldn't bloody go in there, because they shouldn't, they've caused enough terror in the middle east and should fuck right off.
