Same here. I find the material he released on Soundcloud to be significantly different than most of his commercial output. It's like a sketchbook or sonic diary. -
All I want is more material from the vaults. Been going deep into the Soundcloud tracks and there are many which are among my favorite things he's ever done.

True, some of their new stuff is just too random and structure-less for me. It just sounds like the audio equivalent of modern art (which I hate). a splotch of paint on a blue canvas etc.. I saw Autechre live in 99' and it was amazing. Saw them a couple years ago and it honestly just sounded like any random set you might here from a guy noodling with his modular set up....completely disjointed and unstructured bleeps and bloops. But I stand by my observation that younger people are really impressed by over the top complexity. I used to be a little like that myself at one point.

I second that. This is arguably the best music they ever made IMO. I honestly don't like much that they did after the 90's and their earliest material is the best....first few releases. For me, over complexity has no place in music and only serves as a sort of novelty and takes away from/dilutes any real substance that might be present or potentially created. I find that younger more inexperienced listeners are highly impressed by said novelty as is the case with many of the members of this and the Aphex Twin message boards.

People saying that vinyl is naturally noisy is not true at all. A brand new record or one kept in good condition should have zero surface noise such as crackles, pops etc.. It's not until a record becomes well worn, scratched up, not well cared for that it develops that kind of surface noise.

I'll take em off your hands.

RDJ was making those sounds long before BOC.
-
Would be nice. In my opinion its far more bold and more challenging to create a really memorable, minimal piece of music than to do complex and virtuosic music. I'm not even sure RDJ could recreate something like S.A.W II if he tried. Music like that is almost more channeled than it is performed.
-
Once again you don't understand how music works. Albums like S.A.W II, ICBYD ....actually all of Aphex Twin's early work is timeless. It has nothing to do with when it was made. Great music spans time and is appreciated by each new generation over and over again. Where as the most "advanced and ground breaking new music" will be played out and dated far sooner. The world top underground DJ'S are still playing Aphex Twins work from the 90's....they're not playing stuff from Druqks, Come To Daddy, Tuss etc.. I can't stand people who treat music like it's sports.

Anyone post this yet? https://www.facebook.com/warprecords/videos/245113319539929/

Abundance is my fav so far. Has a bit of classic Aphex vibe it has.
-
Ahh so that's where he got the idea

Wav is better than flac. Don't know why anyone would choose flac when you have the option for wav.

that's not good news to read. Mine still hasn't shown up. I pray to the acid gods. Let it come to me properly. Let it come to me. Let it come. I pray. I'm in the U.S and my cassette came packed in that weird cut paper.

which naks deck do you have, i have a 1000,paid £100 for it, bought it from a helicopter pilot instructor in england lol Not familiar with that deck but a quick search shows certain versions of the 1000 series being sold on Ebay for several thousands of dollars. If there were no issues with it the guy must have been really stupid to sell it for that. Either that or he didn't take the time to look up what they go for and just figured it wasn't worth anything because it's old technology. Which version is it, ZXL, II etc? Mine is a BX-150 ....nothing near that range but many have said it performs incredibly for a two head deck. Supposedly sounds as good as much more expensive 3 head decks. At any rate it's the best sounding tape deck I've ever owned and I grew up on cassettes.
