Yeah, its the other mix on the 12". Underrated.

I dont normally do this, but I got sent a promo of this and immediately thought of WATMM. https://machinerecords.bandcamp.com/album/coordinates-ep

This seems very wrong. They are his best tunes; Lichen, Rhubarb, Quino-Phec, Blue Calx, Red Calx, Pancake Lizard, Waxen Pith, Zeroes and Ones, Stone in Focus... There's an entire canon of masterfully melancholy Aphex.

He may have been there too, but I remember some mangler jumping onstage as well. The chillage idiots mentioned it on their show afterwards, I heard a recording of it a couple of years back.

The 'bearded dancer' was some rando from the crowd who made it onstage IIRC. I don't remember any SAW II, I think he played the acid version of heliosphan. IIRC Railway Raver was excellent in support.

That Olympia gig was probably the best Aphex show Ive been too.

lol, yeah, its being caused by the the unmitigated and rampant spread of covid. We've known since 2020 that infection can cause a delayed acute reaction resulting in cardiac problems, strokes etc. and we've seen about an average of 8% excess deaths across the west this year. We've known that covid can damage the immune system since 2020 and now we're seeing widespread immune dysregulation resulting in an onslaught of hospitalisations for illnesses that are normally relatively harmless. Vaccine damage is a real thing, its undeniable, but its a minor issue compared to the suffering and chaos being caused by allowing a deadly bat-virus to spread unchecked through society.

Its difficult to overstate how hard it was to find out about stuff back then. I used to collect label phone numbers and ring them to try and get records.

Picked up SAW 1 in 93. Didn't really know anything about the wider scene. Heard Polygon Window and AI 1 around the same time but didn't have any real grasp of what WARP was. I think the first non-aphex WARP I bought was Virtual State by Richard H Kirk. Id heard of Autechre but I just thought they were pale Aphex imitations. It was probably late 94/95 when I was getting into jungle and heard amber and then tri repetae and anti in early morning after parties and realised how good they were.

Wow. Oddly enough the only tune Ive ever found a good mix for with Subterraneans was an Alva Noto track.

Nah, its open access now, and its way better value than Dall-E or stable diffusion. Pay $30 a month and you get unlimited slow time and 15 hours fast time, plus you have access to all the midjpurney models and their two x stable diffusion based models. the only things missing are in/out-painting and init image. I often generate stuff in MJ and then outpaint in Dall-E, which works pretty well once the style is dialled in. https://www.midjourney.com/ It can get a bit confusing with all the options, but its by far the best option. Hit me up if you get stuck with anything.

If you wanna do comics you should ditch Dall-E and try out Midjourney V4. I pretty much only use Dall-E for outpainting now.

That Romance LP is nice, we played it on the show in March.

Aghast as I am to be in agreement with the tankies and conspiracy nuts and Russians, but it was totally the US. They had the means, the motive and the opportunity as well as a record as long as your arm.

It's an amazing book. Mantel's prose is absolutely beautiful and her ability to peer deep into the hearts and minds of those long dead with razor sharp acuity is just stunning. A true loss to literature. That said, the third book is way too long and was a big disappointment after the other two.

Thanks! It was a fun show, still discovering stuff from the period, amazingly. I hope all is well with you and yours.

Ive always been kinda confused by this guy. 'Cue' on Invisible Soundtracks I is one of the most beautiful ambient tunes of the 90s, but I dont think hes ever done anything else that comes close in terms of style and quality.

Swan is more of an old school cult leader.

Yeah, its a thing.

Listen to Lankum!

Yeah, that was it.
