    i think a key piece of information to signify how good this will be is who is the cinematographer.

     

    one of the key elements to the original was the amazing cinematic shots, without that the film will disappoint

     

    He used Roger Deakins for Prisoners and he's fucking solid.

    Who doesn't love a nice biker gang shoot-out: http://nyti.ms/1Fs8G9Z

     

    Pretty wild eh. We got the Highwaymen in Detroit who got raided several years back for drug distribution/murder. Some folks that were supposed to testify unfortunately were "unable to do so". Their club was shut down on Michigan ave., but they secured a new club right after on Michigan Ave. It's funny to me, when one drives Michigan Ave., everything is tagged to hell on that road except their building, which is a pristine black. Respect.

    Pretend Analog Extmix 2b

     

    Good god. Instant favourite.

    Seriously. Can't believe this kind of quality is just being thrown up there. Amazing tune. The gift that keeps on giving! Getting the vibe it was recorded around the time Fenix Funk and XMDA was.

     

     

    actually after the 2 minute part, some aspects remind me of the midsect in xmaseve. I'd throw a few on this one being post 2000 with you.

    this person seems like an afx fanboy who is trying to convince ppl he is afx by copying richard's comment styles and tags etc, posting tracks when he sees that richard is posting. the music sounds like it was made recently, and is largely software, or at least mixed in the box. lots of bitcrusher plugins / modern glitch effect plugins and other stuff that richard quit using 10 years ago. some cool tracks tho.

     

    this. very little musical personalities are discernable from all the other user****** accounts.

     

     

     

     

    We did some heavy investigating back in February and it seemed like https://soundcloud.com/ogieand

    were somehow involved

     

    The brainwaltzera account has a ton of greek letters/writing, or as ogie himself commented on one track "macedonian" which fits with his profile

     

    I downloaded a bunch of the brainwaltzera tracks early on and their actual names were very different, suggesting repurposed tracks for the hoax, one of them ("leesa waar") had "mis-bit" as the artist name and "mis-bit music" as the genre or something

     

    One one of the tracks with Mad@nn@ in the title had a comment where ogie said "u r 2 mis-bit :)" which is extra suspicious because after i mentioned it on watmm he took the comment down

     

    It looked like maybe multiple people got their tracks together to get this going

     

    The art style is not very afx

     

    There's a lot of cheesy sounding percussion here and there

     

    If afx made a track called "Ten Ton Fenix" it would probably get its own vinyl release and maybe a video

     

    The comments are not very aphexy

     

    The april 14 track is just a cindi lauper song slowed down to an hour, try it yourself (time after time), doubtful afx would do this

     

    Also brainwaltzera had given up for a while pretending to be afx and started pretending to be u-Ziq, and now can't seem to decide-- he used to post after AFX posted, then he switched to following u-ziq and now he does it with AFX again

     

    The tone of the writing is very different between the accounts, from track titles to comments

     

    Compare these two comments on the same subject, different writing styles, concerning sounding like boards of Canada:

     

    Brainwaltzera:

    dont fink i had heard of em yet when i did this but i def see where ur coming from

     

    afx:

    id never heard of them when i made this, ha

     

    again, hadnt heard of them when i made this, I think when I did it put me off doing these kinda tracks actually, not knocking BOC either, love a lot of their music

     

    Brainwaltera is saying "fink" every two seconds, not Rich

     

    The various comments from Rich have better vocab, grammar and spelling in general compared to brainwaltzera - brainwaltz comments seem like maybe english was not their first language

     

    I don't think afx would ever call anything "brainwaltzera" himself too cheezy

     

    Richard has hardly used a single greek letter and brainwaltzera was pretty much bleeding greek lettering for a while

     

    When you really think about it the track names are nothing like the ones on the confirmed account

     

    I could go on and on, but if Richard or Mike were secretly involved I think it would be a little more of a refined production, better track choices ,names, comments, more elaborate hoaxing and trolling, etc

     

    Sorry about the stream of consciousness debunking but i'm trying to remember all my thoughts on this

     

     

     

     

    Excellent deductions mate. Once again internets, you've pwned me. Fucking bastard...

     

    Yet still, like the poster in Fox Mulder's office, I want to believe...oh well. Still like a lot of those tunes though.

    but you also think that jessica is someone "in the know" so idk

     

    Have no clue who "jessica" is, just know shes all over both accounts in the comment section. That fed my belief that the other user account is Rich's collab work with other kats. He made 2 separate accounts for his solo/collab work. Just my opinion. I hear things that make me believe it. Hear paradinas type shit in there & some Tom shit.

     

     

     

    I gotta listen to it some more. Some of it doesn't jump out as vintage Aphex/AFX, but then again, the same can be said for some of the user48736353001 stuff.

     

     

    Right on. Just a topic for discussion

    Wait a minute... Is https://soundcloud.com/brainwaltzeraalso Rich? I guess it is judging by the comments, equipment, and the music itself? Sounds great no matter who's behind it.

     

     

    And is THIS Ric... ! ???

     

    i've been banging on this for awhile. Both users use 8673 or 8736. Many song titles of 8673 have acknowledgements to past works. #tags for afx/tom/mike etc...

    Comments posted about said songs & to other users are Richard-esque. "Fanks/fink". some tracks date to early 90's supposedly.

    I'm thinking it's his collab work with all the greats in their sparetime over the years. There's a lot of synths/sounds in tracks that allude to this.

    If not, it's someone who was around at the same time & got skills. Not buying the troll thing. It's not throw away 1/2 ass music. Unless Rich is the troll.

    comments on 9vcoff echoplex

    1990 (i fink)
    1st (probably) physical manipulation experiment
    VCO, VCF, Tape, Scissors, real chorus/phasing effects, Echoplex and random radio sample on MPC60 added years later
    Unreleased for a reason, should be more of these.
    Tis funny how tape hiss was normal yet undesirable//today abnormal and desirable

     

     

    user 0000008673 has got to be rich & friends.

    QUILAT SPRING 1 outtake reaaaaalllllly sounds like him... I'm not getting the feeling from the others, though.

     

     

    I don't know, I'm hearing some synths off syro in shinigai funk before the 3rd act. not sure which one, but you'll recognize the sound. also referring to tuss in a couple of tracks. I'm going through more tracks. But this kat got skills.

     

    And really, there's some stuff on Rich's soundcloud that don't sound aphexian at all but are.

     

    Mike & Rich collab shit?

     

    Thought that too but would have been outted by now no?

     

     

    Something is up with this account. Pro user/ #afx #tom/ most everything started 3 months to now coinciding with richs dump...

    I mean shit, listen to tomi jen Quinn +son. There's some trickery up in here. something...
