  1. I think having a party is not his idea of a fantasy. Especially right now. The party isn't the fantasy, I know what he likes.
  2. 175 inc FmsubBass 176 inc unfaded '35 SAW II Un Road Shimmer'. Hmmm. I tohught only 2 tracks were deleted from the Soundcloud. Am I wrong? Well, "#176" doesn't really count as it was reuploaded with only one second missing (a proper fade out added). Heart-attack averted.

  4. yup, and noone seems to be talking about it like ever . It's of my favorite richards albums. It's not so complex but it has super atmosphere, rad tunes, melancholic & cute vibes, and cool art with bubbles, everything. The rest of ABBs dont even stand close, in my opinion. When i was younger and hitch-hiking all over the country .215061 (first track) was kinda a hymn of freedom for me. This hole dump makes me feel like on that summer road in 90s again, all by myself with afex in ears offtopic It says on his channel he had a box of unopened vintage boxes that got misplaced in a move and he found it last year! So he paid retail :) i think it must be it - it http://www.neostore.com/Alpha-Black-Lotus-PSA-DNA-Gem-Mint-10-p/1250.htm going for $125K atm this was probably the best day of his life, it's like finding unplayed CWLP and MFM LP in your closet, together i wonder who will buy it tho That Lotus is not the one opened in the video I'm afraid. Edit: That Lotus is PSA graded, might only get a 9.0, or even 8.5 from BGS (as PSA do not consider Centering in their grade and their guidelines are far less strict than BGS). It's a fine piece, for sure, but it'b be very hard to break $30k.
  5. I was blasting these new tracks last night untill well after bedtime :p The Saw 2 ones are my favourites of this mini-dump. How have people been categorizing these btw? I have been doing so by dump, as I now I have three folders for them. It's like "Double-Christmas" every time there's a new track. Feels like some of these must be some of his (RDJ) earliest recordins by the sound and feel. These do show his older works in a new light as it reveals something of his choices about which to release or not, and alos much about the creative process behind them. Off Topic: Fancy avatar, did you see this? Yea, pretty insane to think someone could actually open one in this day and age. That Lotus got a BGS 9.5 grading (don't ask me the subgrades), but I believe it to be priced somewhere in the $50k region. I bought my first Lotus in 2k8 for around £570 (Unlimited), and the Beta in the picture last year for £3400. It has some damage, but it still looks amazing and was a hell of a bargain.
  6. Coming home from a Day's playing Vintage and Legacy to find more new RDJ, including several unreleased SAW 2 Tracks. Just about the best feeling ever. Thanks Rich
  7. Once I've assimilated all the Tracks into "Albums" I'll share my lists, gonna be a while (weeks) tho with so many quality tracks ;) Favourites so far, not including Tracks already "released" (* standout): 5 Sline* Mental Telepathy* 35 Japan* (so depressing to find out this was actually released in 1993 and I've missed out on hearing it for so many years, thought I knew my Aphex :/ ) Fork Rave 30 Fnkmg 13 barbarella on microdots* 15 Sekonda 25 funnel* 20 Pink Floyd 28 Organ* Bcr78 1 Chink 101 Red Calx* 8 Lush Ambulance 2 (sounds like it belong in Knytt Underground, more of this style please) 71 1st bank Trac 2tone[camborne college mix] Make a Baby 40 Lannerlush Full Edit: 22 Pearls* But there's so many others, and I'm just getting started :)
  8. Could this be the "Box Set" Richard was asking the Watmm Admin not to release the Joyrex Tape for, most of the Joyrex Tape Tracks have already emerged within this dump, or was he just throwing them to us because they're already out there (given that he has had "over one hundered hours of unreleased music" for several years now, so there's presumably thousands of tracks to choose from)? I feel he's been planning this for a long time, it seems a couple tracks were deleted (apparent erroroneous uploads?), and, with Rephlex wound up, this would be the only real way to get these Tracks out there. Pure speculation obvs. I really like the interpretation that he is giving us the tracks with which to make our own albums. This is something I've always wanted to happen, not sure how it would happen, or if it ever would, but it's been amazing nonetheless. To get a peek behind the curtain, at his archives. These tracks will take me many months to fully assimilate, and will provide me another 20+ years of listening enjoyment (my lifespan dependant). Occasional lurker/"Muh Autism"/etc I've not posted much before because I have nothing much to say. Now Aphex Twin seems to be very much active again, seems like a good time to chime in, contirbute to the site with a fresh account. Surfing on Sine Waves II plox Rich
