  1. Hahaha Avoided listening to the stream and waited for the vinyl to arrive. On track 1; mellow, slopey and fucking hefty! Great start!!
  2. I mean, if you disagree with the expectations that's fine but i don't think they're unreasonable. It's like if i bought a can of beer from my favourite beer company, took a sip and there was orange juice inside. Turns out the company's switched to producing oj instead. Sure it's gonna quench my thirst, but i'm not gonna get all the fun extra things that came with drinking beer. So i'm disappointed because i wanted a beer from my favourite company. The company's done nothing wrong, i'm just a little sad. Not the best analogy there, I don't think. RDJ is still producing/releasing tunes that sound quintessentially AFX/Aphex Twin. The new track still fits right in with the profile of his ever evolving sound. And at the end of the day, when you run the guy's catalogue through, it has been an evolution so I personally don't see why this latest number should be in any way polarising for anybody who likes his tunes.
  3. audiophiles in a nutshell Hahaha Was thinking the same thing.
  4. I'm just wondering how reworked they'll be if the leaked set of tracks from years ago is a true reflection as to what MFM was going to be. It's exciting times!
  5. And just as irritating are the occasional knights in shining armour who come galloping to her defence when anybody dares to question the point of her guaranteed explosion of diarrhoea on the comments section of every track.
  6. Yeah, can someone be so kind as to share the katieparty track please?
  7. You should see the duvet cover.... I kind of want to withdraw that last post. Fuck! That last comment. Bloody message combined there. It just did it again!
  8. Well, it's a cushion guys, I'm not trying to sleep with him haha
  9. Gf got me it made as a present in the pre-Syro release build up.
  10. May be coincidence but I just updated the app and signed back in no bother. May be coincidence but I just updated the app and signed back in no bother.
  11. SAW II.....I'd love to hear those extras. The SC tracks are right up my street.
  12. The Bill Corey release does sound like it could be an afx/ceephax piss take though.
  13. Who was it that bought him the Soundcloud upgrade? A wee 'thanks' on the sleeve should definitely be included.
  14. I tend to play the tracks in my 2 hour /day commute to work in a cd in the car. So i never know the names of what i'm becoming familiar with sonically. I guess this track is very "Aphexy"-lite hence its popularity - electro bass, burbling acid lines, subtle vocally synths. Its poppy and "manageable". But it too is prob going in my "can't get into" list along with the other two tops ones, Organ 28 and 14 Cornish Spreek5b [st. Nectan S Glen Waterfalls Mix] They all just seem a bit meh RELATIVELY speaking. "Dance and Play" still not getting enough love btw! This is what I was thinking alright. I'm more in the 7z camp than this one. Incidentally, the new Soundcloud page sucks (unsurprisingly). This is exactly how I feel about 28 Organ. It has all the more recent Aphex twists n turns but lacks that classic RDJ magic. It just gets a bit meandering and aimless. Dance And Play is vintage early AFX, much more simplistic than Organ and just a lot more enjoyable. That melody is one that sticks with you.
  15. ACH is a monster. Would love to hear this in a club. Keep thinking it would have been perfect on CW J9.
  16. Reading a lot of the comments it does sometimes seem like there is little interest in the early back catalogue compared to the later stuff. A lot of the harder UI/CW stuff is miles off the silkier recent tunes. I'd be interested in voting within group blocks determined by date. Also, just out of interest, I'd be keen to see where SAW 1.5 fits into the current voting list at a glance.
  17. I'm happy for the top 30 to be left alone. I've shortlisted my favourites to just under 60 tracks and the top 28 haven't changed at all with the last 2 selections floating. If we weighted the votes that would surely mean picking less than 30? I wouldn't be too keen on that tbh. I like the playlist by date/era and voting for the top picks in each. After all, it's an afx through the ages event so why not take a look at sifting through that stage by stage?
  18. Especially ACH. I need to own this on vinyl.
  19. They come out at Nye-eet That's what it sounds like to me. The emphasis and accent/dialect on the word fit so that night does rhyme with feet.
