    please no guest vocals unless you warp and degrade them mercilessly when making Oversteps, was there even a small element of it being a reaction against those folks who had been saying "they forgot how to make nice melodies"? Or were you just following your muse as per usual? Edit: btw that tale about Bucephalus Bouncing Ball vs. Drane 2 is fantastic! (Drane 2 is one of my absolute faves)

    are they as realtime as us? I didn't even bother opening the thread i felt bad about being glib so i went back and read a bit. They seem like nice guys, but it's all pretty generic as it's being done more publicly rather than in their own private watering hole. Also they have an album to promote, apparently. They use more "!" than you guys.

    The correct answer is "taller than Peter Dinklage"

    Crystal Method are now doing an AMA on Reddit. Coincidence?

    Yeah it doesn't sound as groundbreaking as some earlier stuff in terms purely of sound palette. I hear a ton of Gantz Graf-y type sounds in it, too. Still a very cool track.

    yeah it's funny how everyone gets so wrapped up in the Q&A, and so much attention to gear and production questions, but forget to google what time it is in UK. I hope they see Compvig's post, though, as it's a lovely one.

    nice! and people do dance to ae in the US, sometimes. I remember one guy dancing like a maniac at the Oakland show during the Confield tour.

    wait you're genuinely asking? not sure if i should even answer haha, yeah, I'm really asking. If it's too weird, no worries, I'll just do it myself. "Come here, little Acroyear..."

    ok dang it I'll finally join the crowd. my wife is 2 mos pregnant with our second kid (yeah, only 7 months after the last popped out). Any ideas for a name (girl and boy options)? (at first this seemed more than a bit tacky but come to think of it, if you propose one that gets the approval of the missus, it'd be an awesome backstory). for ref, my daughter's name (in my av) is Haley.

    I suspect Sean was pulling our collective legs with the reference to a (likely nonexistent) Drane 3
  12. lumpenprol
    I just realized Sean's earlier comment about the cover of Exai could be construed as saying there's some meaning there that fans have missed. Does the mystery of Exai's cover art have yet to be cracked in some way?

    i think they're done for today...

    dang it's 2:40 am in UK...guess they don't sleep...which makes me wonder is Rob short for Robot?
  15. lumpenprol
    Oh, here's a question someone should have asked: Are you aware of the gap in the middle of Teartear on the American release of Amber? Do you know how that happened, and is it fixed now? (I actually bought the album twice but both had the gap, so I assumed it was intentional, only to find out years later it wasn't...seemingly all the US versions, at least from that time period, had this problem).

    I believe in this Q&A you said you didn't keep any quaristice tour soundboards. But I believe during that tour you also had some guy expressly shooing away any fans that tried to plug in to get a soundboard (or so I heard). We speculated that maybe you didn't want people ripping the soundboard because you planned to have some sort of live release later, or planned to keep the bits for later use on an album. It sounds like that wasn't the case, after all. Do you think you'd make a different decision now, re: keeping soundboards or letting fans record them, or do you like keeping the live stuff strictly live?

    - do you guys ever pull any practical jokes on each other? - is there any "myth" about ae that you'd like to dispel? Or any myth that has been kind of fun or useful so you let it stick around (I'm thinking along the lines of the BoC myth of cultlike activity, or the Aphex myth of sleeping in a bank and driving a tank around, etc). I can't think of any ae myths offhand...maybe something to do with generative music doing all the work for you? Is there any myth you'd like us all to propagate for you?

    afternoon Rob! - which album do you recall being the toughest challenge technically? And which the toughest aesthetically (either in terms of capturing the right sound, or having "writers block", etc). - I believe from past interviews you've said some tracks you pass back and forth, while others are more solo tracks. Generally speaking is one of you more an "idea generator" while the other is more a "track polisher"/"idea-flesher-outer"? Or do you pretty much share all duties organically? - care to list 5-10 of your "desert island" records/discs? Cheers, and thanks for all the great tunes over the years, you have an incredible work ethic! It's quite comforting to have that feeling that another ae album will be coming along sooner or later, and be as mindblowing and detailed as always

    If you don't live near each other, do you only see each other when you go on tour? If so are you ever surprised how skinny/fat/old the other has gotten? (disregard if you video chat)
  20. lumpenprol
    you really don't want a detailed answer to that q that's true, feel free to supply the audio instead :-)

    - Did you read the part in JR's contract where you are obligated to stay online and posting, without sleep, until this thread exceeds the 347-page Exai thread?
  22. lumpenprol
    Man, you know this place too well which makes me wonder...Sean, do you remember answering "Watmm? What's Watmm?" to an interview back in 2008? Guess you've been dipping in a bit since then
  23. lumpenprol
    - have you ever tried your hand at rapping over your tracks?
  24. lumpenprol
    - I'm guessing most of us fans, rightly or wrongly, organize your discography into certain periods with "transition" albums and "new direction" albums. Some people even suggest they can be grouped in 3's, so that for example Incunabula, Amber, and Tri Rep could be grouped together, then Chiastic/LP5/EP7, then Confield, Draft, Untilted (I don't think this really works, just saying). I'm wondering if you ever see certain albums in a similar light, meaning that when you finish it you think "well, we've taken that approach to its logical conclusion, not much more we can do with that sound, time to move on", or "I think there's more to dig in this vein, let's keep pushing it"? If this at all applies, which albums do you yourselves see as the most groundbreaking? (and I don't necessarily mean in the sense of the global music scene, but more in terms of personal "eureka!" moments)
  25. lumpenprol
    - which one of you finishes the other guy's tracks most often? Is one of you more a starter than a finisher?
