Zoë Blade says at 1:37:
@user18081971: Are there any plans to release MFM? You wrote a lot of fun, catchy tunes in those sessions that I still love to bits.

@zoeblade: ah thnx zoe, yeah it is planned, gotta get it together very soon, like in a week as warp say if i dont give it to them by then finished it wont be out till next year as pressing plants are so busy
This is just great news... Warp needs to go at Warp speed or just hire a new pressing plant just for the rdj releases

New version is up with a bunch of new voting options - Richard asked for a hidden 'most loved' and 'can't get into' vote on top of the public top 30.
Before I shoot out an email to everybody, can WATMM'ers please test + let me know if all OK?

2015-07-05, @xfxf:
- votes now automatically save (no save button). "reset vote" is now where save button was.
- now supports additional dynamic polls
- now supports making polls private (rdj requested)
- two extra polls (rdj requested) - loved (10, multiselect, hidden), can't get into (10, multiselect, hidden).
- original poll renamed to 'my top 30' (30, single select, public).
- mobile and tablet specific responsiveness changed/improved, new UI for mobile
- navigation/popup menus added
- FAQ added, profile expanded on
- many backend/frontend improvements
- tracks default to random sort, instead of uploaded date. can still sort columns.
What happened to the Search box? Was so handy to use...

Really great comment here by rdj on the Nighmail track: "yeah, a lot of older music planned for release, gunna be putting out those first, after that will finally get to the new things which I’ve been working on for the last few years but really want to get the older tracks that been sitting around for years out first, while im in the mood, otherwise ill probably never get around to it".

i'm surprised you lot aren't discussing improvements that can be made to the voting system rather than just going 'ah well, that's it i guess'.
the 'top30' vote was only ever intended to be the first type of vote. but the site can have other polls. i'm currently implementing a completely seperate "page" of votes (at rdj's request... taking longer than envisaged though, yay work taking up most of my time), but i can fairly easily mix the rules up a bit as i've made it much more dynamic.
here are some ideas - i would love community feedback tho as I can't implement everything -
* the private for-rdj-eyes-only "top tracks" vote (which i am currently implementing)
* allowing multiple votes on a track - so there are 30 total votes, you can spend all 30 on one track if you want
* having another top 30 that resets once a month, and records the results
* allowing people to import their own soundcloud playlists of organised user18081971 tracks, and vote on the best playlists
* as an alternative to the above, having watmm curate this list of 228 into 5 or 6 seperate playlists, and having a seperate vote on each of those (so a certain style of track doesn't dominate)
guys, what would turn this into an awesome voting tool? this is an entirely custom platform so within reason i can implement anything.
I am all for the multiple votes.
I don't really understand what the use is of having the bimonthly reset? Why would anybody vote for other tracks the next month? If it all gets added up I doubt there will be siginificant changes to the end result. To me that seems a bit too much.
Voting on playlists would be nice. Maybe rdj could make some playlists for the users to vote for based on the top 50 tracks or something like that.
Good work by the way, we appreciate all that you are doing!

Im always hopeful. Maybe the "wound it back" was in reference to the onslaught of the last dump. winding it back before springing it forward again? I agree 228 is a lot (all at once), but with the bursts of 20-30 at a time it was perfect. I don't necessarily want tracks every day, or week or month... but it's harsh thinking the gates have closed. As everyone else has mentioned tho - I am still amazed that these are even out there to listen to at all. They have filled me with such strange nostalgia and gratitude. Afx has been about 80% of the music i listen to in 2015 (which hasnt happened since 2001/2002!! So crazy!). Also- as obsessive as i have been with them, I still find moments i didnt notice and then its like all new for me. I am beyond thankful. (which feels even more dick like: "Im beyond thankful but do you have anymore plz?")
I have the exact same feeling when listening to the tracks. Always hear something new whic amazes me, leaving me wondering how I hadn't noticed it before.
I would say my percentage is up to 95%. If it wasn't for my girlfriend who once in a while puts on some other music I think it would be even higher.
Plus the fact that we know he has more laying around, man just that thought is worth the time to wait for it to be posted.
Exciting times, exciting times...

Jesus is that what all those night or heat comments are about on his soundcloud? It's heat. Absolutely no question. How on earth are people hearing night...
Because he says night.
"they come out at heat" makes absolutely no sense. Anyone that hears "they come out in the heat" is adding extra syllables.
I can just about hear it as "night" now that everyone's mentioned it if i force myself to, but it doesn't work. If he's saying night he says it in a really weird way that doesn't follow his accent. It's like Nyeet or something. Whereas "heat" follows everything and sounds completely normal. Listen to it and try to hear heat instead of night, it's definitely heat. Night doesn't rhyme with feet either.
Why would rdj do something completely normal?
I only hear night, cause that's what he says!
-
Is it not
They come out at night?
I was under the same impression!

oh rad, he said he was gonna do that but I was trying to get some new vote options finished first. looks like I'm working on that today!He has put up the url to the watmm voting site! We should be seeing an increase in the votes soon if you ask me, hopefully this means he wants to speed things up so he can start working on the chosen tracks hehe.
there's been over 100 new account signups in the last 6 hours alone
Good to know, thanks for the info...

so let's see, saw 1 re-release w/ alternate versions, sosw2, best of soundcloud release, cheetah EP, mike+rich re-release w/ extra tracks.
Plus who knows whatever original music is on the back-burner for release, since all this soundcloud stuff is cherry-picked as stuff he wouldn't want to release physically. Makes me think there's another few folders on his computer he's chucking other material into that he does want to release.
And let's not forget this track which he has stated to be earmarked for release
honestly can't wait for this one, it's just a banger!!!:
What??? When did he say that?
I think that was when someone asked if it was a squarepusher track and if it was going to be released. Rich replied "yes and no" to which you can assign different meanings. I took it to mean, "yes this is squarepusher, no it wont be released" but you could see it the other way.
I take it the same way you do.
yes squarepusher, no release. Squarepusher also played this track at the warp20 show where he said he was playing exclusively his own (and mostly) unreleased material...
4 mins in
i thought too it was a squarepusher track but after that vague comment you mention, there was this exchange:
Exactly the comment I was referring to :) I'm looking forward to that release...
-
If this one does not end up in the top 20... I will eat my shoes, out of anger.
I am with you! I seriously doubt it though, it has been losing ground these last couple of weeks. But hey, who knows maybe rdj will just add it to the bunch of releases, as he stated that he'll pick some tracks himself even if they are not in the top 20.

in wav ? all i DL & found is a mp3, can someone post a link to the wav track, not sure i'm talking of the smae cheetah, so many tunes, bit of a mess (& i'm not sure i heard them all)
-
Did anyone notice that the CHEETAHT7 Teac track is a WAV instead of a mp3 file?
Can't listen to it now though so don't know if qiality is much better or not?
It was mentioned a few times on the last page...
Also, pagebreak posterity:
African Rhyt
Paul Guntrip RIP brought me&me mates attention to this mikey dread album with all the now famous samples, he used to drop them in over his dj set, amazing DJ, big inspiration, we were lucky down in the depths of cornwall to have him come down and play us stuff we probably never would have heard.
I gave him some of my VERY early demos that i havnt even given to anyone else or SC yet and he gave me some really useful crit, even though i was a bit hurt by it at the time, was a good kik
Sekonda
Yes Steve Reich vibes 4 sure, was very interesting meeting him a couple of years ago, he REALLY wanted to release my Pendulum array re-work which was a huge compliment on nonsuch but i never got around to sorting it out...
Had an initial super good long conversation with him in Poland,
picked each others brains and kind of forget where we were..still got lots of things buzzing around inside my head from it..but then we said our goodbyes thinking we would probably never meet each other again but was really funny/odd because my girlfriend and I just KEPT bumping into him, party in a polish bar, around the festival, the airport lounge, transport bus, on the plane in the arrival lounge, it got really embarrasing, by the end I was like look im fucking sick of seeing your face mate! [ jokingly ]

used to swim in this lake when i was a kid, then one hot summer, farmers drained it and it was full of dead horses, cows, sheep, rusty bikes and cars...Carn Marth...wondered why the water tasted funny.
My bad.
Great to read these new stories though!

Now that I look at it, they all seem downloadable since the remaining tracks were already released if i'm correct.
+ Intothesky is missing too, and that wasn't released. It does have very recognizable RDJ Album sounds though (if that should have any relevance at all)
Yes you are right, it reminds me of Girl/boy song to be honest.
Maybe there is a copyright issue???

The new batch is almost completely downloadable

Am I the only one who finds it weird that there are only 590 votes at the moment?
Considering there are more than 67.000 followers on Soundcloud...
I don't expect all of them to vote, but a bit more surely, will the link to the poll be spread to wider group of people or did rdj explicitly ask to keep it here on watmm?
-
How is that starring thing coming along?
I need to be able to give Tsim more than just my 1 vote!
