Does anyone know the date of when Richard made the rest of the last batch of Soundcloud uploads downloadable?

I've been listening to all of these (current count 152) tracks for days and I still can't get over how amazing it all is. Since I know RDJ is at least somewhat browsing this forum thread I gotta say: When I was 16 I saw him perform LIVE at Clutch Cargo's in Pontiac, Michigan in 1997 (as headliner of the now defunct Orbit Magazine birthday party) and it was one of the coolest, most life changing events I've ever witnessed. The dancing bears, the fact that the audience never saw his face, the weird old guy shaving his head on stage mid-show and later running around naked at the very end. Shit. It was all unreal. I'm a fan for life and for me the Soundcloud release of all these tracks ranks up there with that night. Cheers.

Not all but most, and yes.

Thanks SO much for this. This is exactly what a lot of us were looking for. I downloaded it this morning, it perfectly imported into my iTunes with the original order, artwork & comments, and I've been jamming to it all day. I had to log back in tonight to show how much it was appreciated. You da man! Edit: I just noticed you edited your post. Did you originally have these tracks changed to the names on Soundcloud and then later change them back to the file names (since I know some tracks downloaded with file names that were different than what was on Soundcloud)?

Best fucking week ever. In one week RDJ just gave us more than anyone on WATMM would have ever imagined. I think it's ridiculus that some people are posting they're sad it's over or they want more. DUDE, he just gave us over 100 tracks! I think his post on Twitter was confirmation that he's done uploading. This isn't time to be sad it's over or want more. It's time to enjoy all of this amazing music for weeks, months, and years to come. The party isn't over. It just started. Commence braindance (Lol)

man, I cant thank you enough girl boy https://mega.co.nz/#!L9lDGTyb!7q2YIYYAPCulFmN0pF4NeK2j9Qq2EK-rYQZy1-Ha8Gg i hope im not violating, right? if so ill delete the link next second Thanks for uploading this! It seems like this is the one "missing track" that many people are missing. You da man!

Perfect artwork! Lol Damn this has been an awesome week so far. Thank you Richard!

A poor mans Alcofribas review. 1/10 Agreed (now that I actually read it). I guess I'm just trying to kill time and distract myself while desperately waiting to find out if I can get into the damn Chicago listening party! for real, it's like a 23 year old Gawker intern read Alcofribas posts here and thought it would be a fun exercise to rip him off Ironically I looked at it quickly and posted before really reading it the same way many sites probably quickly looked at Aphex's ridiculous new "electronic fartist" bio on Warp and just posted it. Looking at it again some of it is kind of funny... 01. minipops 67 (source field mix): "...It’s basically just a 4-track recording of Richard James plucking the same ukulele note over and over again while an anonymous assistant rubs sandpaper across his greying beard...." 02. XMAS_EVET10 (thanaton3 mix): "...Imagine taking drum & bass, halving it, multiplying it by Flying Lotus, and then adding three-fifths of an ex-Napalm Death member who now dabbles in techno..." 05. 180db_ : "...Comes with a free sticker-book and set of six mauve pencils." 07. fz pseudotimestretch+e+3: "You know that second track on Autechre’s third EP? The one you pretended to like as a student? This is basically its sequel, with a more foreboding subtext of strained aquatic grief." 09. Informer (Radio Mix): "A surprisingly faithful rendition of Canadian reggae star Snow’s 1992 chart smash."

Unless trolling this could be the first track by track review... http://spinalbap.blogspot.com/2014/09/exclusive-track-by-track-review-of.html

Has anyone received an e-mail for the Chicago event yet?

Desperately hoping for a Chicago post like this!

THIS.

Excerpts from 20 minute interview The Fader had with RDJ: http://www.thefader.com/2014/08/25/aphex-twin-syro-interview-excerpts

Regarding some of the new fake tracks that some people believe might have been produced by Wisp: I know WATMM members created some of them but if I remember correctly didn't Wisp did once confirm that he produced many of the other fake tracks by The Tuss that appeared across dozens of fake Myspace accounts for The Tuss? http://www.myspace.com/thetussofficial https://myspace.com/thetuskmusic https://myspace.com/1073686 https://myspace.com/briantregaksin https://myspace.com/cat189 https://myspace.com/thetussmusic (and many more) Since many of the accounts listed other fake accounts in their "Myspace top 8" I assumed that was all Wisp stuff and stuff not in the big circle of Top 8's was WATMM members & other randoms, or is it the other way around? I remember back then imagining a conversation between Grant, RDJ and Wisp with them telling him, "If you could go ahead and make like....100 fake tracks for The Tuss that would be great. Thanks."

I LOVE IT! Joyrex: The track names was a nice surprise. Thank you for all your work on this!

That's what WATMM had, when it had a site proper attached to it... I'm... working on it That would be great! So yeah: Since the CW LP seemed like a pretty straight forward rip process that happened last Friday can you clarify what is still going on this week that is holding up the release?

It's unlikely they'd have the extra hands on staff to be doing that - besides, it will be just the record spinning on some very high-end equipment, I imagine - not terribly exciting, IMO. Maybe that Taiwanese outfit that does the CGI reenactments for news events could do one? Joyrex: Thanks for the reply. Sounds good about revisiting this later. I'm just happy to help if it works out. That would be hilarious to see a Taiwanese CGI reenactment of the rip! Hahaha

I THINK A VIDEO IS A GREAT IDEA. Since there are a lot of excess funds I think all the Kickstarter supporters would love to see a professionally shot and edited video that shows the the package containing the record being opened, the process of it being ripped, and even an interview with the professionals that rip it to explain why those chose the equipment and process they did. Audio (potentially from the rip) could be added in during editing. If hosted on YouTube or Vimeo it could stay there indefinitely so we could all look back on it years down the road and remember this crazy adventure. If people like this idea I'm thinking Joyrex could get estimates and demo reels from a few good video production companies in his area and pick the best one to produce it. Maybe an interview with him could be in the video too! What does everyone else (especially Kickstarter backers) think of this idea??? White I appreciate the enthusiasm, the logistical realities are unfortunately there: The record won't be recorded until after the Kickstarter closes and is funded (aka money in the hands of Rephlex) The studio unfortunately won't even allow attending the session - just how they work (which I respect) I won't have the record until after the first two events happen, and at that time I'll be busy getting the digital distro set up and ensuring everyone gets their download codes. You are Grant Wilson-Claridge and I claim my 5 pounds! I also agree with osci. Cause it's more sensible and less of a fuck around. We really need a quick turn around time on this, plus we don't have the ability to muck around with the money very much cause it's going elsewhere. Still though i like the concept, even if the application is a little beyond us, well unless someone wanted to volunteer. Perhaps after I get the record to put on Ebay, I can put together a little video - no promises, though. Joyrex: All of your points make sense, and I totally understand that the thought of adding one more thing to your plate doesn't sound appealing. Since the Kickstarter is in your name I assumed the money goes to you and you cut the check to Rephlex. With that being the case it seems like it wouldn't be too much of a stretch to list the production of a short video as part of the Kickstarter expenses (since most Kickstarter projects do have videos). I work in video production full-time and would be happy to volunteer my services for free because I still feel that something nice and professional could be created despite the logistical challenges you listed. I live in the Chicago area so I wouldn't be able to help with the filming but I'm happy to produce, direct, and/or edit the video so you don't have to deal with the hassle if that's what you prefer. It would be nice to hire an experienced, professional video crew in your area with a great cam, lens, lighting, and audio equipment to film interviews and cool shots at the ripping studio (even if they can't shoot the actual ripping process), and the studio may even appreciate the international exposure. Since I'd handle everything else for free the filming crew would be the only expense, and I'd estimate that that would be less than $1,000. If I'm editing the video I can get you a quick turnaround if that's needed. I truly believe a lot of backers would really appreciate a quality video keepsake archived online to celebrate this unlikely story about "one of the holy grails of Electronic Music". It would be a great added bonus for all Kickstarter supporters and a true testimate to what the WATMM community achieved. Let me know what you think.
