Already a heads up - the next episode is due this saturday and I'm not in town :( can someone please record this? Pretty please? Last time I listened they played all the previous episodes after the new one, I was tuned in to that until I fell asleep around 3am or so in the middle of a mix by Mr. Wilson-Claridge. I'd love to hear that (and the others) again!

They just might do that with minipops, xmas_evet, 4 bit, 180db_ and patap4, lol They actually already did before the album was released, using jasondonervan's scoop and even his printscreen of the copyright claim on YouTube. And (in proper Fact style) without credit to him of course.

Seriously, that last FACT mag article is really the most horrid clickbait nonsense I've read in a while. Really, the content will scar you for life:
-
Thanks for the scans toosharp. Liked the set-up of the article, not a simple top 10 clickbait list like Fact would do, but a well thought out, well-written article that actually provides some insight in the way they work, taking only the most notable remixes (every remix I was hoping they would mention, they did). Nice read!
-
Yeah, it's called Mellotronic, as announced at 3:26 :) it's still the same track!
-
I remember something like that - it was definitely Vibert twiddling in Richard's studio. 180dB could be from one of those endless sessions, seeing how it was played at Snowbombing, together with bits from this track - which Vibert posted years ago on the web, so it's allowed to post here - being a part of one of those jams: (Interview snippets) Clip I - Luke with Richard James.mp3 Still, Produk seems the most obvious to me.

This. Keep it up my man. It's worth it.

Wasn't that around the time Skrillex got accused of being Steinvord? And isn't she acquainted with Skrillx? IAW: obvious joke
-
I watched the first episode and was so impressed I couldn't stop. I'll probably do the one episode a day from now on though, I don't want to race through something like this in a week. Luckily the second season is a bit longer (20 episodes or something MC?), and then there's the movie (if that's any good?)
-
Finally started to watch this two days ago, I honestly have no explanation as to why I never picked up on this before. It's amazing so far (starting the second season tonight).

Probably true in a lot of cases, but seeing how popular Aphex Twin was after Windowlicker and the mainstream attention Drukqs got, it isn't suprising that it would get low grades. The length of the album, the weird interludes, the complex tracks, etc. were stuff that a lot of journo's had trouble with (comparable with Exai now?). There was a chance he would be embraced by a huge following, but he completely went to other way and killed off a lot of followers with Drukqs, and shortly after even more with the Smojphace E.P. (I'll never forget when I picked up that for €14 the guy at the counter declared me crazy, plus all those angry write-ups on the web... good times). With Syro he seems ok with his position and tries to find it's way to the mainstream again. So in the Aphex pattern, the next release should be a noisey experimental album (something with robots?)?
-
Hey hey Jack. Welcome to watmm :) Not only SAW 85-92, I'd say a lot of his Warp stuff is pretty accessible - it just completely depends on who you ask. Godfried Willem-Raes (the guy who builds his robots) says most of his stuff is just pop music while some people think everything by him is too far out and weird. Anyway, Syro is more accessible in a technical sense (song structure and vocals, etc.) and I think he mainly said that in contrast to Drukqs (his last huge album release which got really burnt for it's inaccessibility back then).

Damn, I completely forgot about that WAP100 track until Chen posted it (thanks!) and it's on repeat again. I blasted that one out so many times! I kind of forgot about LFO these last few years, but thinking about it how many times I listened to it, at work, at school, etc. It had such an influence on my taste and totally chilled me out. Of course it wasn't all Mark Bell, but a huge part of it was, so I owe him a lot. Actually, LFO is one of the first house tracks I ever heard - I have two brothers who listened this compilation series almost religiously for the first years of my conscious life: http://www.discogs.com/Various-House-Party-The-Ultimate-Megamix/release/22340 LFO was one of the most impressive tracks on there for me as a kid and always reminds me of my early youth. And even though I didn't hear Frequencies until 2003, I have huge nostalgic feelings for that album. Anyway, I'm really lucky I got to see him this summer, after him cancelling two times I was at a festival (STRP 2009 and Dour 2013? I think), seems like a proper but unfortunate way to close the chapter. Thanks Mark.

Ummmm... wat It's true actually, and it's really fine music, from before the Clark we know: http://www.discogs.com/artist/3254-Clark
-
Oh no this is really sad. I know that he cancelled two gigs I went to (in 2009 and a few years later again) which could be completely irrelevant, but I saw him last summer at Dour. :(

Herr Jan replied to Rubin Farr's topic in General Banter
Well, that was a pretty sweet episode. Promising! And -
Well, actually he does work on music, remixing Gil-Scott Heron and Donna Summer and others. He also produced two tracks for The Horrors. And as far as I know he also edited Aphexs music for Rubber Johnny and Flex. Assuming he's involved in Steinvord is the most far-out thing I've read though...

Exactly this. I love some of the tracks in it, but I have over 1k tracks to listen to... no time left for multiple listens. And I don't really feel the urge either, iunno, it's odd. Admittedly, after I wrote that I forcefully put on Syro and really enjoyed it, even to such a degree that I played it three times in a row and was humming some parts constantly at a party that night. But after that I still had hardly any urge to hear it again (but when I do...!). Like you said, there's so much good stuff to listen to. We are really spoiled basically :)

So anyone still remembers when some ballsy journalist asked Tom Jenkinson about Steinvord? http://digboston.com/boston-music-concerts/2012/10/interview-squarepusher/ Lastly, do you know anything about this mysterious artist off of Rephlex known asSteinvord? TJ: What’s the name of the artist? Steinvord. It’s supposedly a pseudonym for a mixture of two of yours and Richard D. James’s tracks (“Steinbolt” and “Vordhosbn”) TJ: No—I mean, nothing I could say about it in public, no. [Laughs] But in all honesty, what can I say? Nothing.

The Walking Dead - AMC TV Series (spoilers everywhere)
Herr Jan replied to Rubin Farr's topic in General Banter
I already have some recommendations from there noted on my watch list! Cheers :) Anyway, I decided to watch this first episode anyway, it's the first proper TV series I've watched since the X-Files, it got me into watching series so I kinda want to stick it out till the end with this, although everybody can predict the first half of the season: great first episode followed by boring episodes building up way to slowly to the midseason finale (+ lots of cricket sounds). -

Herr Jan replied to Rubin Farr's topic in General Banter
So the new season is imminent - tomorrow airs the first new episode. I can't decide wether to start watching again or just bail on the thing. I'm already bored thinking about it, but I still want to watch it for some reason.
