    Richard D James SoundCloud - A Gift To The Fans

    in Aphex Twin

    Posted

    8 Utopia is now called 8 Utopia [brain floss mix]

    original comment was "like early aphex but I'd never heard of him when I wrote all these tracks im going to be uploading"

    but now reads just "mid 90s"

    I guess its kinda true, Richard had never heard of Aphex before he made all his tracks, most of that stuff hadn't been done yet :3

    I think people are looking too deeply with the idea of a marketing ploy.

    I also think that in respect of Warp; those guys are huge fans. Surely they are just as excited on a personal level to hear this?

    If AFX was to put out a bunch of stuff he feels he'd never want to release "properly" then that somewhat dilutes a pretty much perfect back catalogue of releases.

     

    Why not just reward the die hard fans with all the "junk" you have laying about - partly because you want to say thanks for the years of support and buying of his records without waiting on a review before they tuck in (because let's face it, the SC is pretty much only followed by die hard fans who would lap up anything).

    ...and also why not do it because it's just got to feel plain old rad, right?

    Tons of folk conversing, listening and enjoying all sorts of oddities which you've felt weren't worth seeing the light of day. That's got to feel pretty fucking cool.

    Pretty sure Richard said he didn't view the SC tracks as any way inferior to his releases

    I'm pretty lukewarm on Frank Miller but Daredevil is probably my favorite of his, partially for nostalgia reasons, it's just superhero comics done right.

     

    Another thing to check out for superhero comics is writer John Broome, he re-booted Green Lantern and the Flash in the 50's and a bunch of other sci-fi stuff. They are campy, wacky, creative and generally off-beat.

     

    For dark fantasy I recommend Dungeon by Lewis Trondheim and Joann Sfar. http://www.nbmpub.com/humor/trondheim/dungeon/dungeonhome.html

    It's cartoony and comedic, has really great dialogue, interesting characters and a sprawling world.

    I saw 'Max' today, not to be confused with 'Mad Max: Fury Road' it's about a military dog whose handler is killed and gets ptsd then sent back to it's handler's family. I was pretty impressed. It's all-ages for the most part, PG-rating-ish, and it has a faint made for TV movie quality about it, but pretty effective in creating tension, and defied the cliche/nationalistic tropes that are so prevalent these days. Bring the whole family!
