I can bet not a single track in my top 30 will make it to release. On the contrary, I'm fairly confident I can tell you with 90% or so accuracy which tracks will get the most votes.

I'm more than happy with what has already been shared, the whole thing is still unbelievable really. I'm thinking there will be more in the future...either free or perhaps in the form of a box set or something. Especially since one of his comments said "not even near that lot yet" when asked about Druqs era material. Funniest comment...when asked about Grammy - "haven't got it yet, I want to throw it in the bog"

Not sure if anybody here saw this yet...http://www.factmag.com/2015/05/07/aphex-twin-deletes-soundcloud/ There's a Youtube account with 200 of the tracks (who knows maybe new ones will show up there). Also a dl link to the last batch...although sadly only in 128.

Not sure if anyone's addressed this yet but looks like the tracks stopped being uploaded with the inclusion of this message to his soundcloud page - "ok either my connects has gone no providings or soundclown is bust" Sucks to think that we're missing out on who knows how much more music due to of some flaw of soundcloud.

yeah it does ,but way better. I think it's a pretty nice reminder to a lot of newer producers today like Balam Acab that a single electronic musician invented/refined so many original styles over such a relatively short period of time. I would like to think of it as some kind of challenge and encouragement for new producers especially to break out of the box more and not feel comfortable staying with one genre/sound palette too long, and hopefully see why its a good thing to keep trying new types of sounds Yeah. There aren't any newer contemporary electronic artists that are as prolific/varied/innovative as AFX was in the 90's that I can think of. Not saying there aren't any great artists right now or anything. Just nobody seems to have that amount of freedom and abandon in their work. Coil is one of the only other acts I can think of who explored such varied territory (if we're talking strictly 'electronic music') its just very inspiring. I know that the same can be gathered from just listening to his discography, but this just blows the doors off everything for me. Its very hard to explain. like i was saying in earlier post, the implications this has not just for fans but for the entire world of electronic music will not be felt immediately but will have a huge impact. Maybe im just a really excited fan who is losing my grip on reality Another one of my very favorite groups, definitely top 5. It would be difficult for me to give someone not familiar with their work a starting point because it is so varied.

Fairlights were designed in 1979. "How" ran from 1966 to 1981 so the answer's No unless they used one for the very last series Back in the day it used to be possible for artist to rent one as well. I know that Coil did so for the making of one of their albums.

red calx!!!

5sline!!

Same here, I couldn't be happier with what I've already got.

I'm doubtful that there will be any Druqs era stuff. I think we are reaching the end of road here....but who knows could be wrong, especially since he supposedly has 200 + tracks from that time. It would be awesome if he is setting aside some of the more choice tunes for some sort of release but that may be wishful thinking. If not this may be the last we ever hear of older material.

Agreed...this is a huge inspiration for me personally!

In my circles, by the time ICBYD came out Aphex was already sort of looked at as the Jimi Hendrix of electronic music hahah.

holy shit hahahahaha LOL. and to think that is what that track will be called till the end of time. HAH you're probably right.

For the true trainspotters...The original version of pump up the jam before it became a pop track....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ai2bg2n1QWg

LOL some guy said it had a "pump up the jam" feel to it...then he changes the name to pump up the jam mix.

every1 get your pitchforks here here!!! Keep em' coming!

Insanity! I wonder how much longer this will go on!!!

Lovin 4ACH atm...metallic sound reminds me alot of the sound in this one....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d46l-8XzCC8

My sentiments as well, been a fan since 95 at which time I picked up everything I could get my hands on. I'm a bit partial to his material up to 95 so this is a dream come true!!!
