  1. Agreed I’ve tried to lure Joyrex to spill the beans a few times but no luck. I genuinely think that Joyrex was under an impression he could reveal it soon or it would be revealed from some other source. Don’t know why he would only point out that '' I know something you don’t''. He can’t be so cruel. The answers to these questions are in the OOR interview that was transcribed by Herr Jan. Seek and you shall find wisdom Oh, thanks. I'm really lazy at reading interviews. Will try to find my wisdom. I guess I didn't make myself clear. I was talking about the Steinvord mystery and not the ending of Rephlex with those lines you quoted. That interview didn't really have anything new that hasn't been talked here before or then I missed something again. I was actually in a wrong thread, I thought I was on Steinvord specualtion thread...Maybe my words would have made more sense (?) there. It's my fault since I shortened Pissflaps original post. I Should've paid more attention anyways. Sorry

Don’t know why he would only point out that '' I know something you don’t''. He can’t be so cruel. Maybe there were some plans to release another Steinvord release on Rephlex like Grant hinted but the time run out. If Steinvord is now past for good, why can’t Grant or Joyrex (c’mon man you know your musics so don’t claim you don’t know anything ) just say that there isn’t any new stuff coming that they are aware of? Keeping things hidden still only keeps us in hope of getting new material. So some kind of an announcement would be nice, if not too much asked. I’m not actually so much interested of who/what Steinvord is but would love to know if there’s any point to wait anything from the project.
  4. Oh maaaan! Really enjoyed C2 track 4 in full. The snippet was lovely sure but hearing the whole track turned it to a beast. Like it was the case with English Electric those short YT snippets don't make right to the actual tracks. Really hoping the EDM set will be ready to go soon. Thanks Retrig for sharing this! There were lots of other interesting pieces as well. Could someone tell me what was the Vibert track? I'm Not really a fan of Vibert but loved the tune.
  5. I was more wondering if Wisp will ever be releasing anything under a label or create an own bandcamp etc. If I haven't missed anything there is only soundcloud available ATM for possible new Wisp stuff. Somehow got bored with Shimmering Hour but remember being more interested in those souncloud tracks. Thanks for reminding though, have to go to check them out again. Shit I forgot to put Scirem on my combo list. /Important post
  6. Well, it’s not necessarily that desperate situation. When thinking of it Monolith has three EP’s coming, CN released Nu, AP has put out quite amazing amount of Colundi Sequences and Jodey has been active with EDM and Black Narcissus releases. Grant has been involved with the two latter mentioned artists and hopefully he continues to work with them and help to release some new stuff. As for other artists like Wisp and D’arcangelo don’t know where they’re heading if anywhere. Will there ever be new BW? Has been mentioned a couple of times but would really love to see Mu getting some Rephlex artists. I, for one, would love more this kind of stuff. Had an eargasm last weekend when listened to Steinvord tracks, Drukqs 2 track promo, MEN1 + Mangle 11, those added with Jidomatix/Jodey drillz like Coronet and Archive. Was the perfect combo I’ve had for a while. Pure bliss .
  7. I seem to have dropped something...oh here it is No but seriously, much respect for Joyboss
  8. Joyrex doesn't know who Steinvord is/are but what it is (whatever is the difference). if Steinvord is a collaboration or a split ep, that makes sense (knowing what it is Vs knowing who it is), well talking about making sense in a Steinvord thread is a difficult task Yeah I got it, don't really know why I wrote that last statement. IMO if Joyrex's post didn't somewhat clearly indicate that Steinvord is indeed a collab then I can't really come up with what else it could have meant (animals, extraterrestrial lifeforms? Nah). Like, why not simply use ''who'' but use ''what'' instead. So I guess that Steinvord is indeed a collab or umbrella project. Reading all these theories make me dizzy though, don't know anymore what to think. LOL when thinking the insane amount of Steinvord threads and posts etc. in the interwebz. Quite good for a 5 track EP release.

  10. Ignore my post. It was the xltronic post, thought it was on basefook.

    APHEX TWIN - SYRO

    Something drags me to listen to this again and again. I'm really enjoying the dream like soft tone of the album. Also the previously unheard tracks begin to grow like I expected. Really digging Circlont14 and Syro. Last time I had this teletubby effect was with BW's Good Programs last year. Want more albums like this!
  12. And in what kind of context Grant mentioned about that Steinvord bit? Was it asked or did he just happen to feel an unstoppable urge to share some Steinvord facts out of the blue? I should really stop hoping for the Steinvord album/comp/whatever. Maybe it's somekind of a mental condition.

    APHEX TWIN - SYRO

    I’ve now listened to Syro twice with thought and played some random bits here and there, so here are my first impressions ( I guess that all has been already said so I’m not really bringing anything new to the table). I was expecting this to be more in the Tuss vein which was based on the preview snippets I had listened to. Yet it does contain some similarities but still there’s something different and new in it. I did find the overall tone of the whole album suprisingly mellow especially when compared to Drukqs which had so many edges that it could accidentally poke your eye when listening to it. I had similar feeling when I had my frenzy but brief affair with Autechre. Oversteps did have this soft tune in it when I was used to the soundscapes of EP7 or Draft 7.30. I can’t find similar tones from previous Aphex releases as Syro has. So this is something new to me. Feeling very sorry for those who cried after ‘’something new’’ and couldn’t find it here. And like most of Aphex albums the tracks will evolve when you get to know them better and get to deeper into their layers. I’ve only scraped the surface so can’t say anything infinite about the album yet. As for the favorite tracks I must be little lame since I really can’t help but to love Minipops and PAPAT4, don’t care how many times they’ve been heard before. I don’t hear anything wrong with 180db, I think it’s great. Also loving how the Produk29 is subtly bowing towards BoC (no matter if it’s intentional or not). If Basefree is the most Aphex-like song from BoC then this is the most BoCish song from Aphex. But instead of children from Sesame Street you get women restroom chat. As great as aisatsana is, it’s somehow out of place as the final track. It sounds so much different from the other Syro tracks that it somehow emerges too much. It’s more obvious in the Japan version when Marchromt40a takes you back to Syroland after aisatsana which could be seen as the actual closure to the album. Could the difference feel more subtle if aisatsana was fair and square somewhere in the middle of the album and giving the whole thing a little breather before the other half? Dunno. Well it doesn’t bug me too much, just thought to mention it. All in all Syro deserves a golden star from me.
  14. & Archive & part of the Penryn Space Agency set. Heidi denied that Jodey had anything to do with Steinvord yet listening to those does make me wonder...
  15. Yes! My track titles were messed up; that's what I meant to say. But that ''pad could be about any pad'' j/k I spent one evening glancing through every page of the thread so yes it kinda does. But don't be so possessive. We the new members wan't to be the part of WATMM steinvord maddness of speculation too! You can't have all the fun for yourself I sold it years ago. I recently listened to District Line II (recommended in this thread) and I don't remember even hearing it before. Back in the day Ultravisitor didn't keep me interested long enough so I just listened to the beginning of the album and passed the rest. Tried to get into it again but there's just too much jazz bass diidle duudle and other strange compositions which I'm not really into so I guess I'm not going to buy it again. I'm digging myself deeper here ain't I?
  16. I'm not certainly as rough on him/they/it but quite the contrary since I love Steinvord. Steinvord has been the closest thing to Drukqs from all the music I've tried to dig up. Can't really tell who (or what) Steinvord is but it doesn't bug me a bit. If it's Rich and Tom then fine but I love it as much if it's someone else like say Odan - another artist that has sadly gone missing. I'm kicking myself to head for not grabbing Charlbury Gardens when the net lab had still their archives available. Last time I ckecked the link to their download center it wasn't active anymore. Only got Voltek. I was under the impression that the Steinvord record Grant talked about was this EP which was originally supposed to be released at the same time with Welcome but which was delayed (and delayed and delayed). Was there some announcements after that? After all this time there still seems to be much interest towards Steinvord so it really should deserve a re-release or something though I'm really sceptical of that happening. Would love to get RulesthereadII of the unreleased ones. Again defying the golden rule of ''if you can't swim stay out of the pool'' but have to say that the first time I heard the beginning of Maelstrom Gwarek2 sprang to my mind and partly it still does. I didn't know that I was this suicidal. /runs to cover
  17. Have to take your word for that since I don't know a shit about sampling or making music in general. Simply jumped to conclusions based on how it sounded to my ears and thought I had spotted some similarities. It was 100% IMO type scenario and I wasn't trying to speak any universal truth. Anyways thanks for clarifying!

    Finally received my copy Echo Echo Echo Echo Oh, old news, you have moved to other things. Continue
  19. I haven’t really been a big fan of Squarepusher so I couldn’t fully get why some people were so sure that Tom was involved with this. All I had heard were Hello Everything and Hard Normal Daddy which aren’t necessarily the most Steinvordish stuff from him. But since you brought it up frequently I decided to give it a shot and holy shit what I have missed! Go Plastic!, Feed Me Weird Things and especially Big Loada are awesome. Selection sixteen and Do You Know Squarepusher have their moments too but they are not as mind blowing as before mentioned ones. The jazzy bass stuff drove me away from Tom’s work so I didn’t really bother to look more of his stuff until now. So now I understand better the Squarepusher side of the Steinvord speculation. It has been mentioned to death but My Fucking Sound and Maelstrom have their similarities. Also the beat from Boneville Occident from 0:41-1:19 could be the twin to the beat in Backyard. Just give it a little speed and add a break. And the beginning of Tundra versus beginning of Ontrackv2 sound quite similar to me. But still it raises a question why would he sample himself and not bring anything new to the table? There’s no denying though that there are some strong similarities between Steinvord and Squarepusher. I know you guys have known this all for ages though but I’m slow…
  20. LOL, BoC on Rephlex would have been like snail riding a turtle
  21. Interesting, thanks for sharing this since I’ve never heard of such possibility. All I’ve heard is that Mu was interested of Steinvord. Seems that they chose the legendary status of Rephlex over the functionality of Mu, but how did it work out in the end. Well Venetian Snares knew better. Wasn’t Rephlex interested in Aaron or have I been severely trolled? See Herr Jan, not so far-fetched idea.

    The first 5 seconds of the Japan bonus track sort of resemble dry farts. Maybe that was his way of saying "this is what it actually sounds like, before I get a hold of it" WATMM wanted Metz, Manchester and Richard farting on a snare so he delivered. No more speculation needed. This is indeed Richard’s gift for us demanding fanboyz. IMO there's no reason to keep looking the Japan version from ebay. You can find it from discogs with more reasonable price and you don't even have to do any bidding. Wink wink. Some ebay sellers tend to do some heavy over-pricing. I've always found what I've needed from discogs with better price.
  23. Yeah there are possibilities beyond Mu. I have to clarify that I was thinking Mu because they usually tend to release stuff on multiply formats so no one (or should I say I) wouldn't have to bitch about that. Have to confess that I haven't been too excited of Mu releases this far. Not really my cup of tea. I'm quite confident that there will be something released at some point. There hasn't been any indication that he would be done. I was really looking forward to ''Touch Me''. Have to wait and see if it will ever turn out. For some reason I think that he would release something under a label than doing it AP/JK style. About that Monolith bandcamp have to say that if Rephlex didn't teach me anything else they surely made me to re-evaluate the meaning of the word ''soon''. Oh and Warp too => Steve Beckett in 2009: ''new BoC soon''.There should be a own time zone for electronic music artists, some IDM GMT. Soon=within the next couple of years (but may take little longer).
  24. Watched again those live tracks from Dave’s Bangface set on Youtube and I’m really loving them. Actually all the Rephlex bangface stuff has been a goldmine for me when wanting to listen to some unreleased NWOBBD (New Wave Of British BrainDance ) goodness. In general 2014 releases have been unraveling the unreleased Youtube gems like Aphex, JK, AP and Beatwife etc. C’mon Dave it’s your turn. Wasn’t Welcome more of a compilation of older tracks than an actual album? Maybe there were plans for more to come but sadly Rephlex went down. Well, we did also get Photodementia stuff so maybe I’m being too greedy. I’m little bit worried though that my CD shelf won’t be seeing another Monolith album. Said already in the Rephlex sub forum but have to point out again that please Mike P take the Rephlex roster under your caring wings!

    APHEX TWIN - SYRO

    No leaks for me. I still have to wait 'till the 26th. I should get a true fan medal or something. Nah, just kidding. I guess I’m too lazy for pirating plus I want to get it as fresh as I can once I’m finally holding it in my dirty hands. I couldn't resist the samples though. For what I’ve gathered from you sweethearts Syro seems indeed to be more of a sequel to Tuss than to Drukqs just like I suspected. It also fits to my view of different Aphex periods and if there’s any truth in the interviews this will be the end of this current era before he moves into some new direction. Have to wait and see how radical changes there will be. Blah blah blah, enjoy Syro. I know I will.
