The Tuss

That it flew under the radar is actually brilliant imo

That he recorded maybe his best work under an obscure alias is fucking genius and totally in line with the trolling 

His Tuss material is absolutely brilliant and indeed some of his best work!!

I literally think my favorite RDJ material is the Rushup Edge EP

Who's with me.......??

Lush Acid > 2019+ material > Syro Era > Soundcloud > Tuss > pre 2000 > Drukqs

Still sealed??!! Jeez, it wouldn't be if I'd have gotten one. I'd be playing on a regular basis!

Same here too, so thats 3 of them accounted for haha

I still need to track down a copy of Confederation Trough.

I know it'll never happen, but it would be great if Warp would repress his Tuss work. I mean they did repress Squarepusher's Rephlex album.

Like a lot have said, this is some of his best work and still sounds fresh to me. Can you imagine collecting all of it together as a special album (all original ten tracks that is). Man, that would be amazing!! (I can dream)

just press deathfuck on a translucent neon 360 gram vinyl... fuck me death fuck fuck me to death amazon af..

I spy with my little eye...

The fact that The Tuss completely flew under the radar of the music press was a tragedy. Maybe Richard didn’t care at that point.

p sure he cared & it was intentional tragedy ((::  iJsut the anti-marketing, anti-hype, f da system/music industry, mystery school of rephlexology; a similar eg. being the drukqs 2 track promo ep : total focus on music & pressing alone - "music for those who know" to quote underground resistance, who aslo released work in such manner, eg.their waveform ep from 1991

Then anything ‘Aphex Twin’ plus Warp seems to have strayed quite far from the anti-marketing, anti-hype ideology by now

Seemed to be in the air at the time. Radiohead doing the tent tour with no logos, Naomi Klein etc... 

Probably not an influence on Richard per se but seemed to be the thing at the time.

I highly doubt that any of the Rephlex material afx did will ever be released on warp. Its the whole point releasing it under his afx alias separated from the aphex twin oeuvre

a rushup repress would prolly be like €100 in 2023
