    No internet and finding out his music via record stores for such a long time sounds really nice 

    Yeah it was a realy nice time!

    Realy gave a rush coming home after travelling all day for some cd's, lighting a spliff and diving into unkown warp or planet mu records.

    I still often dream i'm at a record store looking for albums, mostly it's blackmetal bands and albums that dont exist. I cant seem to let go of that genre 🧛‍♂️

    to celebrate the end of summer aphex tour

     

    what are your stories/memories/influences/favorite songs/favorite afx shows/wisdom of aphex twin

    write your piece about aphex as something fun for rdj to read and see how much he's really made a difference in our lives

    thanks rdj!!!

     

     

    Ok

    afx learned me to rave and enjoy electronic music

    i liked daft punk, chemical brothers and stuff, nothing much else and was mostly into black metal, hiphop and grindcore

    i didn't have internet yet back then so i looked for new music in cd stores or concerts.

    Me and a bunch of friends were gonna do shrooms at a friends house who was gonna try it for the first time, so i went to the record store to buy an electronic album to chill to on the shroomies and i blindly bought drukqs. (i knew some afx songs from mtv)

    oh boy when we peaked i put on that album and the first track had me by the throat (still one of the greatest songs i know) and then holy shit.... what a journey,

    those small different moods, then to get catapulted back into pure insanity. hellish and beautifull

    i imagined an insane composer who locked the door on his house, threw away the key and just went berzerk 24 hours a day for a year on his machines.

    still the best album i ever heard and that friend who took shrooms for the first time went this year with me to his show at best kept secret.

     

    after that i was on a hunt by anything this man made. Got icbyd, then RDJ album and was blown away at how different each release was a few years later i scored the tuss and chosen lords ( didn't have internet yet so everything i bought was on cd)

    when i finally had internet in my farmers hole, i learned about this project called steinvord that might involve afx so i joined WATMM to find out more.

     

    Had great times here on WATMM and then thanks to Joyrex we all bought the caustic window album, that felt so amazing, the power of music fans.

     

    When he did the sounddump i became... obsessed! the legend was true, this dude had 100's of (amazing) unreleased tracks, my jaw dropped.

    there he was, the music legend, giving out free music on soundcloud, chatting with his fans and he's just a normal human being like everyone else lol

     

    went to 2 of his shows this year with friends and had the best time ever, i'll always go to his concerts in the future and try to get my hands on anything he releases.

    i could type for hours but i'll stop here. Just felt like contributing to Diatoms his post.

    i don't need a card cause he already gave me one, this nice ass rave wizard saved one for me on field day.  You have my eternal thanks Diatoms, you legend 🥲

     

    and yes RDJ thanks for all the amazing music and good times.

     

    also, release the ploink and waffleland tracks afx nerd!

    pls

    i do think the irony here is that you two are in hyper granpa mode with this one

    valorizing a trap album that is filled to the brim with nothing but genre conventions as indicative of what is "weird in hip-hop" is absolutely bed pan levels of the octogenarian 

     

    I heard the album over a 100times 🧛‍♂️, you havent even heard it once yet go full rage mode.

    Are you ok man? 😆

    My dad says i have a terrible music taste for liking ae btw 🙃

    don’t be daft m9

    like what you like, I’m just pushing back at a common kind of music snobbery where people claim that others are too old or closed minded to understand the music you like…especially if it’s an extremely mainstream hip hop album with (imo) very tired lyrics and played out trap beats that are like a decade past their 

    It's a fresh album in the genre and most people called it trash when it dropped.

    Been listening to the album for more then 2 years so imo its a great album

    the album is basically entirely composed of cliche, is massively popular, and has received acclaim by basically every mainstream outlet.
