afx is really moreish:
Come on Super Hans, let's go get you some crack!

I'd like to see his philosophy on music making. I remember he said he wanted to mostly talk about his philosophy that in that SUPER LONG interview, then proceeded to literally JUST talk about gear
. He mostly talks about gear, which is mostly interchangeable and not particularly interesting... well mostly since I only occasionally use hardware.He should totally sit down and have a chat with a good interviewer. There are a lot of musicians these days (more people making than buying music?) and it'd be great to hear from people like him some insights into his music making process.
nardwuar vs. rdj
one day
That would be incredible

He removed the sOoon comment and made his profile picture orange. Hmm.
-
I'm hoping he does a Bandcamp, but if he still has a contract with Warp https://aphextwin.bleepstores.com is more likely.

24bit 96k, will be available at a website near you soOoon.

The Run The Red Place remix is insanely good. Can anyone recommend more uptempo rap similar to that track?

Made this mashup of Cottage4 af 1 and Outkast's B.O.B.

If anyone is interested, here is almost all of organ 28 in a single MIDI file:
https://mega.nz/#!31FEzI4b!JatD8jyFfqtphWJPHB2J3lXTKafb2qZ3rtMCCLxnfoU
I went back through the Ableton project for my organ 28 cover, took all the bits I had transcribed, and placed them in a MIDI clip as closely as I could to how they're arranged in the original track. So the entire track is there, but there are some empty spots that still need transcribing. Section D1 was transcribed by someone on Reddit, I forget who...was posted in earlier in this thread. There are a few large empty sections that I haven't had the time or willpower to learn and transcribe, but much of it is there. The whole thing is 256 measures long.
And then I went full OCD and gave it my best lazy-undergrad-musical-analysis. Harmonically, I think it's undoubtedly one of RDJ's most intricate tracks. Not even considering the free-jazz-robot-voice section, it goes through at least THREE major key changes (Bb, to Ab, to E major, to B minor)...and the Bb major sections are often on the verge of modulating to G minor.
Cheers!
Notes:
The red colored text are the sections I did NOT transcribe in the MIDI. I just left empty space.
Yellow text I are only partially transcribed (some major instruments left out).
Also I didn't bother transcribing the acid bass in Section A or percussion throughout.
Measure numbers refer to the MIDI while time stamps refer to that corresponding spot in the original track.

I saw this interview before where Richard says he doesn't know how to read or write music. Though it could one of his infamous lies, I don't know how he could write something this complex without having a pretty good understanding of music theory. Unless he truly is from Mars, of course. Can he really make something this beautiful by smashing keys and twiddling knobs?

he got beef with young thug and chris cummings on instagram
-
He messaged me this earlier when I asked him if he took the page down to fuck with the media:
just want to have this space for fans that are bothered, not for sightseers, i get brutal messages from people.

Not posted a lot in this thread, but what an epic journey this has been! It almost tops the Tomorrow's Harvest viral campaign. ;)
Oh how I'd wish Boards of Canada would do something similar with their archive... a man can dream?
PS: Hi Rich! I love your tunes! Especially Ibiza Spliff, boccy vibes! ;)
i think this is infinitely better than that viral campaign! that campaign ended with a video of the last track of the album and a preorder. this is 17 hours of music and counting!
And some great interactions with the biggest troll in the music business.

Q: Since we're talking about Aphex, what can you say about his last album? Do you like it?A: Yes, I really liked it. Aphex, though didn't played it for me before release, and for his other friends, too. I got the impression that he was ashamed to play it to someone. We used always to play the new songs to each other. It's hard to be Aphex twin, it's quite harder than to be a Luke Vibert. People always expect something incredible from Aphex Twin and for me they don't expect anything, and therefore I can do whatever I want. Aphex offered me record an album together, but I now refuse to because I'm afraid that he'll steal from me my ideas. Once we've worked together - for a track, and six months later, I heard this track, that i heard would go into the new Aphex twin album and authorship there stood only for Aphex; there was not a word about me and that's what I, in fact, wrote all the bass line and the drums. I was very angry, so I decided no longer work together. Although we are still good friends, of course.
I just asked AFX about this:
MeLuke Vibert said in an interview that he doesn't collaborate with you anymore because you released a track that he did a bass line on without crediting him. Do you remember what track that was?
i asked him about that and he denied it, so either he was lying or journos talking crap,
either way it didnt happen.
Where there's a hit theres a writ !

user940645936 says at 0:44:
bloody hell richard how come this one never came out!?!?!?user18081971 says at 0:44:@user940645936: well it was made before i released anything, by the time i released my first thing on mighty force i already had hundreds and hundreds of tracks, i had kinda stopped thinking about releasing any of them, just content with making them for me and my mates, big thanks to TOm Middleton as he really was the person that got the ball rolling and sorted out that first release. a good story coming…then when r & s called me back, well left a message at my sisters house as i didn’t have a phone, it totally stopped me dead in my tracks, i was like wtf, r&s called me ??? I had sent them a tape with about 6 tracks or something , not that many…Renaat was a bit of a slippery fish, a player, i believe he thought he was doing the artists all a big favour when in reality it was the other way around, although he had the business brain so it worked both ways. He was like “mr richard” as thats what he used to call me, “how much do you want for Digeridoo?” I had about 100 £ in the bank and I was totally stuck for an answer, I said um I dunno.. He offered me £1000k advance which wasnt bad i suppose back then. I immediately left my microelectronics engineering degree course at Kingston uni, my mates all thought i was mad, i was like cya , good fucking luck, I’m outta here!THEN shortly afterwards Colin Favor called me up, he was THE big dj from Kiss FM London, UK and said did I want to put it out on his label Rabbit city! So I remember this really weird horrible feeling not knowing what to do, I went to meet Colin, he answered the door wearing dark sunglasses and all bruised up face ,he looked like he been beaten up, he said he was in a car crash? hmmm This was 1992, so i was 21.anyway he told me how Rennat was not to be trusted and said why don’t i release it on both and grab the dosh from r&s in true london gangster style… I thought about it for about 1 minute and agreed! Afterwards I thought what the fuck am i doing, Ive just landed the best deal ever and and made me an amazing new ‘friend’ Renaat and now I’m going to fuck him over immediately !I just believed Colin [as DODGY as he looked ] and went for it. Got paid twice..&2 uberace labels :) Then came the horrible moment Just before R&s was about to release digeridoo ep when Renaat called me saying “Mr richard, what is this rabbit city white label?” “ah…yeah…um..dunnoo..whats that?” ha in hindsight I did the right thing because I could sense Rennaat was well fly and thought id fucking flyhim right back in his cocky Belgian mush, gotta smile..Apparently Rennat bought loads of copies of the rabbit city up, not sure if thats true.. So it came out on Rabbit city, then R&S , then outer rhythm licensed it for the uk again from R&S and it got to the top 50 in the charts after probably selling around 20-30k copies ! then it sold about the same again!Have to mention it but Colin Favor was the ONLY person in my life so far who gave me back the metal masters from the pressing plant ! So I’ve still got them and they look AMAZING, he did it so i would trust him not to repress it on the sly, dude! thanks Colin!+++and there’s more, so recently I’ve been in touch with Dev from Paradox who is probably my fave drum programmer in the stratisverse and he told me that the exact Kiss fm show that Colin Favour first aired my didgeridoo , dev got the first radio airing of his tracks! So amazing, he remembers coz mine was on before, I didn’t remember him being on it coz i stopped recording after dig got played! So that show was a catalyst for both of us .I had my fair share of problems with r&s which i won’t go into but we have now reached an agreement and are friends, kind of.. Renaat, hope your treating artists the way they deserve now mate! Massive respect to Renaat, gotta love that guy, he’s made some banging tunes as well like this one!, which a lot of people don’t realise. www.discogs.com/Mantrax-Scarlet-C…cus/release/26631Lastly before I got upset by r&s I sent them a c90 tape in excitement that they wanted to release my stuff and i FILLED it with my best tracks at the time and he never got it! phew , phew I was so relieved, coz as soon as i posted it off I wanted to get it back, I wonder where that tape ended up???? anyway hope that answers your question :)I wonder which tracks were on that tape.

Interesting that a lot of you guys omit the earlier stuff like Chink and Sam's Car. Perhaps it's because the slightly later stuff is just so accomplished. I agree that 5 is a virtually impossible number to get it down to. I think it means that the obviously brilliant stuff like Organ will get mentioned by everybody in lieu of the slightly more subtle tracks...
Some of the simpler tracks are still great but I wouldn't put them in my top 10. Except maybe Bimbongo, that song is the shit.

Does 'No Reality' sample 'Last Rushup 10'?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=SZKzweMEH3w#t=242
Considering the track was made between 1994 and 1996 I wouldn't bet on it. Can't listen right now, but I'm quite sure it isn't. Afaik Luke never sampled Aphex tunes before (in released stuff).
No Reality is from Back on Time which came out in 2012. Did he release some older tracks on that album, or were you thinking of Drum n Bass for Papa?
I already had it in 2011 though :) and yes, it's 100% old stuff. It was promoted as such when it was released + he mentions it in that interview from yesterday:
I really loved the 2011 Ninja Tunes release—but that was all old music, right?
Ancient. '94-6.
Oh, I didn't know that. The 2011 album on Ninja Tune was Toomorrow though.

Looking back to the listening party I thought that being able to listen to a new Aphex Twin before it came out was the greatest thing ever. Now less than a year later there are like 12 new Aphex Twin albums.
. He mostly talks about gear, which is mostly interchangeable and not particularly interesting... well mostly since I only occasionally use hardware.

The Soundcloud tracks are good previews, but I hope they release an official single soon
