deep in our hearts, it will be always remembered as dump...lol @ changing the thread title to remove dump
Aphex Twin Anal Passing of 2015
-
When I heard the first seconds of the Cottage tracks, my brain said Analord. But JR's comments and subsequent listens got me wondering maybe Tuss.
It's mostly the bass synth that makes the Cottage tracks sound Tuss era to me.

someone come break my legs so I don't have to go to work tomorrow, I'll just lie here and listen to this collection all over again
what running time are we up to now?

this fucking gif
*gets ready*Richard. Is. Just. Getting. Started.
is it from that furry glam rock cartoon film? I forget its name. "Edgy Glam Rock Furries" I guess.
"Cool World" with Kim Basinger and Brad Pitt fromthe early 90s.
Ah. 4% on Rotten Tomatoes, guess I'm not missing out on much. I was thinking of Rock & Rule.

jeepers. might sack off work and go home and get my collection up to date, get the headphones on!
I'm stuck here running meetings in the evening, can't even stream some tunes on my headphones.
-
alternative mixes of Mt Saint Michel + Saint Michaels Mount perhaps?
my favourite track, I'd love to hear alts of it too.

well it sure is fun to put on when you're playing monopoly shitfaced with some friends and it's one of the best album covers ever
playing monopoly shitfaced? are you trying to get into a fight with your friends?

Finally got around to trying out Civilization V. Good lord it's addictive, my Sunday was basically consumed by it.

I'm just glad Warp are not making any money from these tracks and that we, the fans, are enjoying this moment with an artist we like.
Desintermediation is the way to go. :)
record companies abuse their power, I don't think anyone can deny that, but I think for most folks looking to do physical distributions, use studio time, get mastering services, promote themselves, organise gigs and stuff, they don't have the money or time for it.
I can't see intermediaries for music ever going away, really. Richard is a very unique case due to his infamy and previous success.

What the fuck are Warp making of all this?
I really doubt Warp and RDJ have anything other than a very relaxed contract or agreement. I don't think RDJ likes any control at all over his work, and Warp probably provide the distribution and marketing and not much else, and Rich is probably very happy with that if he still releases through them/Bleep. It's not like Rich is going to need much cash to cover mastering (does he do that stuff himself? I forget), and he has his own studio to work and record in, so with Warp providing very little, they can't demand very much back.
Contracts come in all different "shapes and sizes" so there is no need to assume Warp hold rights over his work, it could just be the distribution/marketing of it.
edit: That being said, they're probably missing out on a lot of dosh, but probably not much they can do about it.
The "Barry's Bangers" splattering of the google docs a couple of days ago claimed CCAI was a contract breaker, which seems to match with an interview given years ago about how after 'Drukqs' he had 2 albums to go on his Warp contract (if my memory serves me at all, which is debatable.)
Interesting, might tie in to his idea of closing an era or however he put it in Syro interviews, as well.
-
didn't realize his twitter account was managed by warp
makes sense really, I can't see Rich behind it. Interesting that Warp has taken some effort to advocate the dump though.

yeah sorry this is the old shit now, i want new shit
new shit or new old shit? or old new shit?
-
Absolutely my favourite ambient work. Only physical release is on cassette though, not really a format I have much desire to appreciate.
And oh yes Tim Hecker is amazing. Every album is so meticulously crafted, although I wasn't entirely taken by Virgins. I've heard he's looking to release another album this year, though.

It seems to be an extremely shaky recording of an afx logo, too spooky.
Well it was posted by rdj.
I dare say that looks like a lit button on a machine with an Aphex Twin logo on it. Maybe a RDJ designed piece of hardware is about to become a reality!?
joyrex pls

Everyone in the media has sort of portrayed RDJ as some cruel autistic fucktard over his career, and both from his actions, interviews, and comments he just seems like a nice guy who likes his privacy. And the sheer generosity of dumping all of his 20+ year old tunes out there is impressive.
I seem to remember at the end of his show at Warehouse Project Manchester in 2011 he just had "KILL YOURSELF" in some eye cutting font on the screen behind him at the end of the show, I just think he has kind of a love-hate relationship with fans, probably to do with how much he likes his privacy. His reaction to some of the negative comments on his CCAIP2 kinda shows he's still only human with bad feedback. Hopefully the sheer volume of love for this archive drowns out the minority of folks who don't like it.

god i hope by saying he needs to get better internet to upload these tracks means he's planning on uploading them in lossless... of course 320 would be good too
it would make sense, lossless for 100+ tracks is a lot of data to upload. Don't think they exactly have fibre up there in a small Scottish town.
He doesn't have to re-upload. He just gives the permission to that track to be downloadable and that's it! I hope he uploaded them lossless when he first uploaded them though.
ah okay, wonder why he needs better Internet for that though?
