He still has a record deal with a release schedule, ya' know

Yeah... so does BOC. Give that some thought.

And let's not forget the Sonar track which he stated was earmarked for release... I really hope he's going through with that, that track really deserves to be pressed on some good fat vinyl!!!

It already was pressed on vinyl by Grant probably somewhere in the early 00's, but Squarepusher was very opposed to releasing it. That's what Philie-T said in this thread (an insider) a while ago (as well as confirming it's a track by Squarepusher). I'm still leaving the option open of it being a collab because at one point Aphex said it's earmarked for release, but yeah, Squarepusher.

Btw, Cylob played two other tracks of that exact acid white label too, in this set from 2003:

If I recall correctly, Squarepusher played all three (!) tracks at the Warp20 gig, a gig he announced as him digging through his old unreleased tracks archive. He even segways one of those Cylob acid white label tracks into the "Sonar" track.

And I know about the yes & no post Aphex made on soundcloud regarding that thread, but everyone interprets that completely different so it's pretty much a useless statement.

Well, you could ask some people to do the boring stuff for you. Right?

I understand what you're saying (didn't know about Phillie-T's remark, thanks for that).

Still can't help but wonder why rdj would post something like that then...

Anyway, hope that one way or another the track will be released, simply because it's fucking great. Don't care who releases it...

Why woudn't he? spreading desinformation is fun sometimes.

Let's all confuse people, why not?

I can emphatically state that Redruth is NOT Richard. He's somebody though...

We've got tracks from that dump that we would never have attributed to him.

 

yep

 

 

 

Actually do not agree with this...

To me this is perfectly Aphex... the drums remind me of AB tracks, the melodies on this are so fucking great remind me of rdj album and AB ep's (like for instance AB5's A1 track), melodies that bring vast horizons visions to my mind every single time...

Maybe the only thing is the minimalistic approach to the song that could be doubted (and even this wouldn't be that surprising since at the time he was making music with Glass) about but other than that... It's pure Aphex genius.

 

the use of samples in it isn't very afx to my ears. neither are the melodies, they don't sound anything like anything off rdj to me.

lovely tune though.

Hi, this is my first post. Been following the SC dump since the start and checking here for news.

I remember Richard saying that he'd had a lot of requests for headphone recommendations and he mentioned some that he thought were the best for making music with. Does anyone remember the make/model? It was one I'd never heard of before.

Cheers

He claims to use Sony MDR-7510 and some type of Audeze Headphones with the price tag of 999999.99GBP

just want to say thanks richard for the sc. amazing thing. made me think of learyan re-imprinting as described in cosmic trigger a few times.

i have a good memory and it was the Audeze ones, i remember looking at them.

The Audeze LCD 2 are really the nicest open back Headphones you can get, had them for a while (990€) , but sold them because I'm not rich. If I someday will have again 900 euros and dunno what to do with them, I'll definitely buy them again. Dont care about LCD 3 or LCD 4 (I tried them both and IMHO it is not worth the 1000€ more)

Highly recommended for those who are restricted to making/listening to music on headphones (cause of shit neighbours or sth else).

Oh man, you remembered me how great these cans are and now I'm looking on ebay for used ones again. (makes no sense, i got no money, hahaha)

Yes, it was the Audeze, thanks! Looks like I won't be buying those anytime soon... The Sonys look all right though.
