Nice one xf, seems like the ball is well and truly rolling. Anyway, all I know is if Lannerlush Full, Ibiza Spliff & Medieval Rave don't make the cut, I will be burning effigy's of y'all come November 5th.

Puts it into perspective a bit, with the rate they sometimes come it's easy to forget just how much of this there is now. Don't think anyone would have imagined this happening, it truly is an RDJ fans dream come true.

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.

That's recently been added to his profile, btw. Time to start thinking just which tracks would come out on top then, lot to choose from.

In answer to a lot of messages: hmmm..i think if there were some sort of poll or something, I would get the best of/faves mastered & pressed up/backed up. I can make almost all of these tracks sound A LOT better, if I transfer them properly myself and then master them . There are lots of other releases planned on Warp but it could fit in fine there somewhere.

"why is your screen red?" "because aphex twin" what is flux? software that reduces the blue light of your PC screen in sync with your local sunrise/sunset. Reduces eye strain and helps reduce computer screen influenced sleep loss as well (your body reacts to the blue spectrum of light from the sun or something that keeps you awake). the best solution is to just not use any screens before you sleep but flux is still very effective, been using it for five years (edit: don't think it's been out that long but certainly since 2011 or so) or so and it's been great, might be a placebo but the science is there at least. I definitely notice a difference when I use my TV or phone at night which don't reduce blue light at night. Going to try this out, thanks for the explanations. Should make the midnight F5'ing a bit less harmful.

Amongst his latest comments he mentions an old friend who used to give him police interview recordings nicked from a station, which were used for tracks such as Un Stabbing Interview. I did wonder about that title, gives it a bit more of a dark tinge to think we could be hearing chopped up, mangled murder confessions transformed into afx sounds.

Don't mind me, just getting up at 6 am to listen to new Aphex albums worth of songs, as you do. Not got to Glock + Onion yet but I can tell it's going to be good. Some crazy sounds in this latest lot, I think maybe the reason the comment sections are such a shit show is people are losing their minds, unprepared for the afx sounds. Brb, got to send Rich 100 comments berating his nose and lips.

According to one of the latest comments, SAW 3 is "half written". Whether that means he's still working on it, or it's been left behind...doesn't matter! We'll probably hear it eventually thanks to Rich's generosity. Mental, it's like after year of drip feeding we've been given the keys to a giant fridge of goodies. Is it too soon to say "This Soundcloud stuff, and Richards kindness, has changed my life"? I'm just feeling one of those "Feck, this is the best thing ever to happen, and it's still happening!" moments. Feels a bit silly when you see it written out, but them's the feels.

Great comment: on Nutcrapper @richard-shepherd-8: ha, well i was here one saturday uploading and there was nobody here, all out enjoying yourselves, so i gave up & went to bed. He obviously enjoys all the comments and buzz that the uploads produce, bit obvious I suppose but nice to see his human side. But I can't believe there was a recent Saturday where I and a hundred others wasn't periodically F5'ing SC!

Liking the playlists, all good in their own ways and nicely picked I think. Might need a few pints of rum to think about sitting through the "Headstrong" one mind, certainly one way to floss the brain.

Ha, Jimmy Savilles Organ. Creepy, but on a different level. Wonder how many "organs" we've yet to see?

Also noticed he added Cheetah3 to his own "Liked" tracks. Cheetahs are really feeling the love today.

Says 3 playlists, but can only see the original SAW one. I'm guessing this is Soundclog wankery.

All day every day baby. P.S. Thanks again for gifting Rich the SC Pro, you awesome human.

It's true, how can we tell if Asthma is actually just Ibiza Spliff? I mean, these crazy, crazy names, and so many tracks, it's not possible for a normal human, nevermind a Journalist who gets paid to write about this stuff.

Jumping on the Cheetah hype train, stunning stuff, and undeniably Syro-esque. Really didn't think he'd just hand out tracks from this era so readily, his generosity knows no bounds.

Kind of regretting listening to "Asthma" in headphones in the middle of the night. Wow.

A couple of vids, people getting jumpy when he disappears and Chris Cunningham almost turning into a meme...I wouldn't call it a conspiracy hub, more just filling the gaps between tracks with a bit of this & that. I wouldn't take that Tupac SC comment seriously, it's a troll comment that just happened to get a bemused response from Rich. Now listen to Midieval Rave Mk2 and unrustle thy jimmies.

Rich confirmed to be Paul McCartney, next upload will be gabba remix of "Band on the Run".

Somebody send Fact Mag 54 remixes of "Throatie" and a couple of "Shit Smothered", keep them on their toes.

And another Bradley up now, "2 Bradley Un".

Wonder if we'll hear the "Alberto Balsam Bonus Beats" he's on about in comments. The man is like a human advent calendar that you can open everyday, full of goodies.

Yeah Bradley tune up with description "only on crackly pressing before", plus he said he's gonna "try and locate" some more in the comments. Good stuff, like a bit of Bradleys Buttery Biscuit Bass.

Nope, the tracks I liked were restored because they show up in my liked list, also I am following him again, so it's definitely the same account. Yeah, I just get jittery at the thought of "the end" of the whole thing. I'll take my foil hat back off. Back on topic: Next song to be uploaded should be called 420 Watmm Green Calx Mix.
