atypic

Did anyone reach out to Warp to make sure they saw the request?

You definitely can. Copyright infringement even if no damages. But more likely they wouldn't but that wouldn't stop someone from sending a demand letter. Warp might have some beef if they have exclusivity on Aphex Twin-named content or remixes of stuff they've released, but thing would have to get pretty desperate for them to sue their biggest name as it would ruin their relationship permanently. And anyway he's asking recently for them to put out SOSW2 so it's unlikely to be Warp.

I can imagine, for example, Pink Floyd's management to be litigious

me too We don't know of course, but I kind of doubt it's Warp (though a few tracks probably gave them pause). His publisher might have exclusive publishing rights, although they'd rather not sue a client. There are lots of unlicensed samples throughout the tracks, so that seems a little more likely.

Yikes - and this is why we grab the downloads when we can people!

Could it still be Tom AND Rich? That's probably too cute an answer...

I know that track voting is the currently in vogue topic, but I've been thinking about my own management of all the SC tracks. As it grows, it's getting a little out of hand. I have been tracking them numbered by upload order, but I'm starting to question that. It seems that upload order doesn't mean that much to RDJ, and having 200+ sequenced tracks isn't ideal. I've started moving some to subfolders (the SAW 1.5 list, and my own made AB6 folder, Bradley Strider, and SAW 2.5 based on the ones he indicated or were obvious). For the SAW 1.5 folder though, I can either use his ordering or the order of upload, but it seems like his ordering of the playlist is better. What do you guys think?

How about the other part of you?

Mad to see Utopia, the 1st track, has 260k plays compared to most others 15-40k. Bloody tourists popping in for a gander and wandering back the way they came I suppose. Also the fact the account has 66k followers but the majority of tracks have under 40k plays, meaning half of the followers either aren't listening to most of the tracks or are just getting the "all in one" zip files. Not really important I suppose, just an observation. Utopia is one of the best tracks still Also - very exciting stuff xf

Finally got some really nice headphones over the weekend and listening to Syro were amongst the inaugural items played. The album is a revelation and it was great to hear bits I hadn't noticed before.

That's how I took it I reluctantly agree What if as he added new tracks to the SoundCloud, they'd appear on a page to be voted on? It would be kind of neat to have a dynamic page where at any time the top SoundCloud tracks could be seen, either by community votes, or by plays/favourites from SC... Is there value of figuring out amongst the WATMM community which SC tracks are the favorites? Maybe so (although we could probably guess that correctly as well). But trying to implement the public poll that RDJ mentioned might be ill advised for the reasons Haggar mentioned, at least at this time.

That's how I took it I reluctantly agree

Is it too late in the thread to do a little smug happy dance about PAE2B being recent?

i remember always joking around about SOSW II and how i wanted to break into afx's house just for this album, now its a reality and no laws had to be broken, lol, technical nit, but the SC dump might break laws of relativity

Comment re: Polygon Window album 2 playlist - yes please.

I was being sarcastic. It doesn't prove it was post-2000, but virtual analog didn't really become much of a thing until the 2000s.

I think it might mean I'm not a good Aphex Twin fan because I thought it was post-2000 ; )

My opinion on that differs depending on whether his opinion suits my own : )

My guess is Pretend Analog is recent. D14 and Phonge I have no idea. D14 and Soachie in the name make me think more recent.

RDJ being relatively tight-lipped on the timing of the tracks that seem to be recent, right? He seems disinclined to identify tracks as being post-2000...

Seemingly not. And then even more randomly adding comments to old tracks.

Yeah, PAE2B is mega dope. Loving it on first listen (haven't gotten to the others yet). I agree this has got to be more recent! Did you see the comment "yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa soooooaoaaaaaahhhhccie" on D14? Pretend Analog...Tuss era? God the two newest are soo good

Good catch!
