I'd love it if he'd upload some drukqs era dnb tracks i would fucken shit my pants if that happened since drukqs is the greatest thing that has ever happened to music for me

Those tracks are so complex, I think he likely included all of them on the album.  It would be hard to put that much effort into something and then not release it.

I feel like these are much more recent ambient tracks that maybe he made specifically for his live shows? Either way, they are all beauties.

Knowing rich he has way more shit from that era. Yes they are complex but i wont believe that he only made 9 complex tracks in total. But you might be right when you say all of the really long track made it onto the album idk

Expand  

Yeah most of these are either pp pieces, remixes or short dnb tracks. Thanks anyway!

There's definitely more of those tracks knocking around, Cylob played a bunch of stuff that sounded like that era in my mates gaff after the gig we brought him over for many years back. I can't remember them that well, maybe some of them came out in the dump already, but there was a load of them, so I doubt he released them all.

Quite enjoying the COVIDCLOUD Dump.

Love to hear prememory100N pt1!!!

i think richard said somewhere he had a ton of drukqs era stuff but it got lost. girlfriend stepped on a hard drive or lost on plane or something

Ah yes, the infamous MP3 player lost on a plane.

Over 9000 tracks. 

These tracks are all new, right? Not saw ii era and maybe not archived works. 
He mentioned in the SoundCloud comments that most of them still reside in his live rig but I’m assuming that it’s just data and he’s tracking and uploading them one at a time. Tha2 for instance had no drums and when someone mentioned it, the world scam mix appeared the next day.  Would be amazing if he’s literally recording them and putting them up shortly after it’s done.

tha2 live already had drums, and cooler drums than this world scam mix... :^(

Coming home after another crazy stressful day as a key worker, sitting down the garden with my shades on in the warm sunshine with a cold brew and listening to new Aphex Twin.

Thank you Richard, even though I'll never meet you, you're still as close as it gets to being a best friend.

Wondering about this too. Thought these tracks were new, made for the live shows, but who knows. We should ask him. 

Still jamming out to Raindrops on Roses... love that early shit!

I can't believe he put tha2 on SC.  I just found these today and have been blown away.  When I heard them live, I thought that was next full Aphex Twin album level quality.

RIGHT!? Forever more PBoD!

I have noticed something about these old DAT tracks though. It seems the SC ones are a bit slower, for instance Q-Chastic "CAT 002" on the CD is pitched faster than "Symbonsad" from SC. Same with "Popcorn" when it was on SC for like 2 mins. The recording on Joyrex J4 is faster? What could be causing this. Is the motor or belts (Idk how the fuckin thing works) in the DAT machine off or are there controls that you can vary pitch or tempo?
