If you'd actually pre-ordered cheetah, you could download a lossless version of 7b. Fake richard. It sounds way better than the sc version. Lovely stuff. And basically an ode to Larry Heard/Mr Fingers. I haven't downloaded them, I preordered it from bleep earlier today to listen to the stream and didn't see the DLs. I basically just jumped on the stream. The bleep stream sounds mono. Still. This is an issue with all the tracks in the stream and we have to wait another week to hear it in its stereo goodness. I mentioned 7b was mono as well in the stream because I was comparing the two. TL;DR the stream sucks. What is a fake richard? IF you're referring to me then I am very confused. its like tape-quality for those who couldn't snag one

No, it's not. I've heard amazon previews and every track sounds like analordish chilly AFX jam. This is going to be a beautiful release, trust me. And this track? Made by some wanker having no clue about amazon previews and trying to fool people. doesn't sound like any of the previews, but i kinda like it and would like to know who did it. dude on reddit who heard the ep in full said this definitely wasn't on there. And it doesn't sound like the gawd anyways. Pretty cool troll track tho. sounds like Venetian Snares

the t-shirts aren't limited are they?

So awesome the Cheetah ep is happening. The beautiful thing about Aphex is he never went away, longest breaks were between Druqks and Analord, then Tuss to Caustic Window, but he was also touring during those years. Big respect and my favorite current musician by a mile.

So excited for this, and happy it came out of the soundcloud dump, something we could see germinate from an idea in his comments on there. To be honest I was more hyped about other releases hinted at like SAW 1 rerelease, mfm, sosw2, but going back and listening to the cheetah tracks I'm glad he went with this one, those tracks are really lovely and I'm glad he decided for his next release to be something in a new direction instead of a rerelease (although that would be welcome too).

I just moved without a forwarding address, surely I was one of the recipients of this mailer :() Really excited about the next installment!!!!!!!!!!!

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. Aphex philosophy on music making... well I remember at one point he said that 'screwing around' was no less valid than any other track, and I THINK he said once that he would make things without thinking about it. He said about Satie he never wasted any notes, so he recognizes economy in composition. In syrobonkers he said his favorite artists didn't consider themselves artists and he said many times don't talk about the thing you are going to do before you do it because it detracts from it's energy [and leaves you open to look like a fool if it doesn't happen]. In a way maybe that's his way to say don't trust what he says about upcoming releases, because he doesn't agree with talking about things before they happen...

fuck yes!! I need to do my teenage years over again anyway.

^I'm reading this as well, very good stuff

Well, BEFORE SC tons of them were getting -100 love being stuck on dusty old DAT tapes no, I mean the released ones that are up on sc now... no comments, few plays. I understand it's subscription and already released and owned by people but it's just this stark contrast Don't get me wrong, BIG BIG love for all those vault tapes!

all the old tracks on sc are getting approximately -5 love

thanks Mr afx

I can dig it, it's a curated track listing spanning 9 of his releases. And I don't mind throwing a few bucks to the platform that he's been using the whole time. It's kind of a counterpoint to last years soundcloud dump

I just realized there are 2 tracks on ab3 called 180871

xf mentioned something about collecting comments, I'm supposing he has them... xf?
