are you guys doing this on purpose with this whole debate about the newness of the sounds ?
It's an EP based on the Cheetah sounds from the soundcloud dump, so it'll be coherent and based on similar palettes than these amazing Cheetah SC tracks, and that track zane lowe track is a track which was posted on soundcloud too.
yes.
Also, just to mention. People constantly have this expectation for aphex to sound a certain way on a new release and it NEVER has. It's always something a little different then the last thing. SLow as fuck ambient. insane drill. basic as fuck techno/acid. He does everything and releases things sometimes. Get over it. He's a multi-faceted artist.
-
I like this new track better than the soundcloud ones. It's fucking super tight. It's an infectious jam.
-
Dafuq, that means i have to compile them again.
OK, updated the lists.
he gave you a shoutout for keeping it up to date.
EDIT: I see that you replied nvm.

It's got a catchy tune but the synth programming doesn't sound like RDJ. The drum programming does a little bit but it's less refined. The reverb doesn't sound like any reverb he has used in recorded tracks, and the compression sounds also completely different from what I've heard on any of his tracks. Pretty obviously not him.
Then again, when the tuss came out it sounded so different from everything else it was hard to tell (well, it sounded a lot like analord 10 but that's really it). But I think with the tuss it was also so fresh and good that it had to be him. The above track is too messy and uninteresting to be RDJ, even if he did change his sound again.

alright, so is it confirmed that richard has a wife and children? the last thing i heard about that issue was from the syrobonkers interviews, which haven't been very credible/consistent iirc.. why do we now seem to know that hes got family? :p i must have missed something somehow...
I'm not sure where this constant attitude that he is lying or trolling in his interviews. Yes there are a couple of interviews where he takes the piss but the vast majority of things he says in interviews are true. Yes he did record/live in a bank, yes he DOES have a fucking tank, yes he has all that crazy gear, yes he had hundereds upon hundereds of unreleased tracks. That shit is all fucking real.
-
I find it interesting that he renamed this from cheetah to cirklon. I wonder if he names tracks after what he considers the most important bit of gear for a particular track.
My guess is that is was track 3 of his "cheetah" EP back when he first recorded tracks for the EP and put them through some TEAC tape recorder or something. when he bounced back digitally he just named them cheetah[X] TEAC which made it straight to soundcloud that way. But the original true name was cirklon3, as in the 3rd track he did on the cirklon.
-
This sounds like it was re-recorded almost. Could be my different headphones or the mastering.
EDIT: i take that back. I think it's just the mastering / my setup.
-
Cool, that's like the track we've heard before tho yeah?
-
I doubt he is release his softsynth yet. He said he wouldn't do it until he'd created and released tracks with it. It doesn't sound like these tracks are related to that softsynth.
He actually said he would do something like that? When? I thought it was just an idea generated by watmm speculation when the flyer surfaced. I know Joyrex mentioned something about gear, but he said he was going to make his own soft synth and make tracks with it too? Hell yeah.
Somebody in the cheetah thread dug up the comment.

EDIT: He didn't say the word "release" - i was wrong.

I think it's weird to buy CDs. I'm much more into the analog formats as a physical/collector's item than cds. I will listen digital all the time as downloaded files. Though, I used to have a pretty sweet IDMz cd collection back in the day so maybe I'll find those and put them up on a shelf somewhere and start ordering cds again.
-
I mean, tape is also a pretty popular format at least in local scenes here in the US. It also looks cool. I mean, I rarely listen to vinyl either but I buy it if it's something I want to collect and put on every once in a while. I ordered the tape and the vinyl.
-
We could just raid his house? Then we won't have to wait for music to get released, cos we'll just nick it all.
no man he's working on his best tracks right now. Have you read his comments? He's quite excited about working on new music.
-
that's it I'm going to reddit for me aphex from now on.
-
not sure what you are talking about but there are a couple tracks that didn't make it to syro that rich said he would upload at some point.
-
I think it's going to sound like modern dubstep(like bro-step dubstep wubs) but with aphex-level special effects. Just speculating but I think I'm probably right.
-
wait so let me get this straight. First we get syro and it's like the first aphex in 10 years or so and it's all of our favorite live tracks and other ones that are just mindslappingly good. And then we get hundereds of unreleased old tracks(holy shitting hell, basically a dream come true for me, i mean like, actually). And then he also gives us a drukqs piano pt.2, and THEN we get even more tracks from around syro days (orphaned deejay seleked which had my most anticipated live track, simple slamming). and NOW we even are getting this EP? I mean holy shit. Crazy all this that we get to hear all this and there's even more on the hype radar. (MFM, soundcloud tracks release, whatever else thing project that's being worked on).
-
i'm so old and jaded i get excited by the thought of hearing old music (ie the sc cheetah stuff) in higher resolution.
soon i probably spend ridiculous money on high-end speaker cables.
I don't think the cheetah stuff is that old.
-
-
He just said he found it though, and at some point in the past I think he said that if he found it, he would put it up somewhere. So, there's an implication.
-
holy fuck I can't wait to blast that windowlicker scratch track in my car as I roll up on some friends. This is very exciting news for me. That scratch is ridic.
-
hmm
I wonder what sequencer he used on that track.
-
I like that we keep getting these glimpses into some of his production tools of older stuff. Supercollider, whatever tracker he mentioned, etc.
-
i believe his story that its just a made up word he uses with his kids
Cheetah EP
in Aphex Twin

I wonder how much his name still sells for warp. The promotional stuff they had on this was, I agree, kind of insane, but kind of funny, didn't kill the fun for me.
anyhoo, listening to the EP now and I love the vibe and the way it's mastered. Got a nice gritty but non annoying high end. Getting super bwoon dub vibes.
