Well, as it turned out there were other reasons for the long silence... You'd think BOC would fully embrace doing a livestream or something along those lines as it is highly controllable and they can 'curate' the experience to their liking... but really nothing they do/have done (on the surface) makes any sense to us... then again, it doesn't have to! And for self-employed folks like Richard and BOC, I don't think there really is a dividing line between their 'work' and 'retirement' in the traditional sense - as I said, they will absolutely keep making music until the day they leave this mortal coil, but whether they release it for commercial consumption or not is another matter. It will be interesting if his kids follow in his footsteps - although they might already have and we know nothing about who they are...

Let's hope I am wrong (again) - would certainly love to be in this instance! However, another factor some of you may or may not appreciate - Richard, BOC, AE, Squarepusher are all of an age (as am I) where entering or getting close to being 50 years aged, and entering new phases of life - I don't think any of them will ever stop making music, but the desire to release it, tour, etc. may be waning and now that children are in the picture and growing, the life they previously have led may not be fully compatible with their current life, or in a more positive view the current life has taken on a greater importance.

Oh, totally agree - and that's going on 5 years old now!

While I somewhat agree with this, electronic music artists seems to have a higher quality level overall when it comes to their output versus traditional musicians - I'd say even Richard's rubies and sapphires are just as desired as his diamonds are (to continue with the metaphor)...

Yeah, sorry to be a downer, but I can't help but think that way - maybe it's just the fan in me getting impatient... I suspect WARP got cross with him releasing all that for free which makes it harder for them to monetize it since most fans who really want it already have it and physical releases aren't what they used to be in terms of money makers. I think this is it, really - electronic music artists aren't like traditional musicians, so really this is par for the course - I mean, we basically waited 13 years between DrukQs and SYRO (although to be fair he did release a lot of non-Aphex Twin stuff in the interim). For awhile after SYRO, it seemed like the "good old days" (aka early 90's) was back and Richard was releasing stuff at a regular clip - but now it seems to have slowed down yet again. Who nose...

Going to start Series 3 of Lost in Space (Netfilix) and see if it sticks the landing, and The Expanse (Amazon Prime) Series 6 premieres this Thursday... Just finished the latest series 13 of Doctor Who - the best so far, but not perfect. Hopefully Russell T Davies taking over in 2023 with a new Doctor will make a difference. Guilty pleasure: Young Sheldon (I know)... but it's cute and funny Looking forward to Series 2 of Raised by Wolves and I need to watch Blade Runner: Black Lotus and binge it once the last episode comes out.

Kinda odd he hasn't released anything lately, eh? Collapse was the last official release (not including the live performance whitelabels and the Peel Session) and that was 2018, and it was 2014 for Syro. Granted, he's nowhere near BOC's record for lack of output*, but I wonder why such a long gap? We know he's making music (or working on his back catalogue)... why not release any of it? * As far as I am concerned, I fully suspect BOC have retired, and are not going to release anything and simply live off the royalties their existing catalogue produces. If it works for them, then great - not so much for fans wanting more output from them. Who knows - this could apply to Richard as well - I am sure he's financially comfortable to the point he doesn't have to release anything new and instead on making music for himself...

That is a HUGE pisstake

Just curious how most people here listen to music these days - for me, I find I do most of my music listening in the car via my phone/streaming...

Apex Tin?

Added a few more goodies... more to come!

So I have a lot of stuff that frankly I don't really need anymore, really don't collect anymore, and I certainly don't listen to physical media (haven't for ages). Would prefer to have this in the hands of collectors who value these items more than I do. Prices are based on Discogs recommendations, and I am willing to ship anywhere and depending on the deal, I may pay the shipping. I'm flexible. Payments via PayPal are preferred, but contact me if you can Zelle the money, etc. I'll update this as I have time and I would prefer a PM about an inquiry versus posting in the thread so I can track offers, etc. Because I am lazy, I will add Discogs links to the items - Unless indicated, it should be assumed all are mint/unplayed. https://www.discogs.com/release/14160194-Aphex-Twin-London-14092019 - $190.00 USD https://www.discogs.com/release/14163495-Aphex-Twin-Manchester-20092019 - $135.00 USD https://www.discogs.com/release/10452636-Aphex-Twin-3-Gerald-Remix-24-TSIM-2 - $190.00 USD https://www.discogs.com/release/694551-Boards-Of-Canada-Trans-Canada-Highway - $50.00 USD https://www.discogs.com/release/263510-Global-Goon-Family-Glue - $10.00 USD https://www.discogs.com/release/8414-Bochum-Welt-Feelings-On-A-Screen - $20.00 USD https://www.discogs.com/release/15608-Aphex-Twin-Words-Music - $12.00 https://www.discogs.com/release/384196-Global-Goon-Pure-Rock - $32.00 (number 48/50) https://www.discogs.com/release/1651763-Various-WarpVision-The-Videos-1989-2004 - $17.00 USD https://www.discogs.com/release/4826212-Various-3Lux-The-DVD-Collection - $90.00 USD https://www.discogs.com/release/11262391-Chris-Cunningham-The-Work-Of-Director-Chris-Cunningham - $15.00 https://www.discogs.com/release/360077-Aphex-Twin-Come-To-Viddy - $28.00 https://www.discogs.com/release/360082-Aphex-Twin-Windowlicker - $10.00 https://www.discogs.com/release/8692888-Various-Future-Shock - $15.00 https://www.discogs.com/release/1323863-Various-Motion - $18.00 https://www.discogs.com/release/238302-Squarepusher-Ultravisitor - $10.00

I would NEVER harm such a precious thread... you think me a MONSTER? Perchance you think I too am possessed by Satan's minions?

Returnal now offers a sort of save for your run if you have to stop...

Goddamn it... I should warn you just for having me scroll through all that crap. Time to re-institute the # of images limit methinks...

So you choose another background and it doesn't switch? Ah, okay - There is an add-on that can do this - would anyone else have an interest in a feature like this?

Save posts? you mean like a "read later" feature? I reached out to the developer (again) - let's see what he says
