  1. My 2 cents on how Aphex came and stayed into my life. First thing I heard from him was 4. I was 16 and at my cousin's house playing Rollcage on the PS. When I heard the combination of sounds I was totally blown away. Never had I heard something so chaotic and emotionally touching at the same time. I wanted to listen to it again and again. Will always be grateful to my cousin (who was more like a soulmate) for that, unfortunately he passed away in 2012 before the SC dump... How many times I wished I could've shared that with him. I miss him. And listening to 4 always takes me back to that moment in his room. Anyway, since that day Aphex became a bit of an obession. Started to look for all his music I could find. Bought the rdj album on cd, but I have to be honest, I downloaded tons of his music through SLSK/Napster. As a teenager money is a big issue and I'd rather spend it on weed to listen to Aphex together! Don't worry Richard, I made up for all of it since 2014 when I started buying everyting you put out, even doubles at times. First time I saw him in concert was 2001 at Pukkelpop under mushrooms. I was flabbergasted, couldn't believe what I had heard, a friend who was with me had to puke out the mushrooms at a certain point and lay down outside the tent. We never knew if it was the mushrooms or the music which caused that reaction Next time was 2017 where I walked around with the Vinyl all day long in a goodybag... Even got offered 100 pounds for it that day. Saw him at Best Kept Secret this year (Ivan Ooze, wish I'd known you were there would be nice to meet up), had tickets for Dour as well, but unfortunately my mother in law passed away a few days before so had to sell them. Afterwards I heard he played "Lichen" which is like one of my all time fav tracks... Ah well, next time I hope. The way his music has been with me through decades is actually unbelievable. No other artist or genre has survived that long with me. Also I remember posting on here when Richard's dad passed away and a few months later my own dad passed away. The Brooklyn track on Soundcloud was what I listend to that night... That track will always be tied up to the memory of my dear dad (rip). PS: how fucking good is the DeadCode track off the Analords... Just listened to all of it a few days ago, what a trip! THANKS RICHARD! Keep them coming please!!!
  2. Just a quick question, is the Archive.org page on the soundcloud dump being updated still by someone? I can't see the latest tracks on it like Matriarch.
  3. In a Room is my fav. Definitey.
  4. I like the Blackbox track, but the barcelona track is next level for me. I really do hope that gets another proper release. Remember when back in the 90s it was a thing to press double albums? I think Richard should start that trend again... GO on RICHARD, bring back the double albums.
  5. I assume they'll be on the store soon enough like with the london filed vinyl, at least that's whay I'm praying or.
  6. Actually it does have a similar sound... But the rfc track is off the friggin wall!!!
  7. HAs this one been posted yet? Maybe old news but a very very very nice track imo
  8. So when is the Drive Dump actually starting?
  9. But so is it the 28th of june or july? I'm a bit confused now. I assume it's July since that's on a Friday...
  10. Here's a short clip from Best Kept Secret, it was my 4th time seeing Richard perform. I really loved it, I heard a lot of old tunes, also a few from the soundcloud dump like Chink 101. Also parts of ICBYD's Wet tip Hen Ax (loved that one) I thought he played a very good set and very dancable compared to others I've seen. Thanks Richard!!! And yes, definitely heard some unidentiefied tracks (as far as I know) that sounds very aphexy to me. One reminded me of the Cheetah ep but the advanced version of it. Really cool track. Oh yeah almost forgot he played 108db from the Syro album. Fucking hit hard that one. https://photos.app.goo.gl/tyYbEUPC7XKDmkcu6 (sorry not able to embed it).
  11. Headphones is a must on this EP. So many subtleties that otherwise are lost... I really can't choose a favourite.
  12. We can definitely say it WORKS!
  13. The mfm album would surely be at the top of my wishlist. but any new release would do for me now, come one Richard, it's time!!!
