I reckon he meant someone stole his hard drives, but who knows. I have this little hope he's come back and check the forums every x months, but looks like we aren't getting any more tracks by this dude.

rip

Not the vord... just another heorge garrison again setting his location at "Spain" as tribute or just for clicks. Cool tracks tho.

Any update on Monolith? is he really gone forever?

Anyone has any news on Dave monolith? did he really just drop off the radar steinvord style? He was pretty active back then, even doing live shows, why would you suddenly stop?

It sounds more like 192kbps, it's well encoded with joint stereo and noticeable artifacts are rare How is that even possible? I can easily notice 96 from 128 from 192. 192 to 320 is harder but definitely audible with good gear and good ears. It's very strange to me how 96kbps could trick you into being as high as 192, now im tempted to check it out but feel bad about it. I will wait for the real thing. It's been a while since I got a physical copy of something. Hopefully it's easy to find when I go back to London. Funny how the day I left for a week all these aphex twin ads start showing up all over the place.

I agree with you, however, I go from thinking that into the opposite, for instance certain moments in "untitled 9", the melodies are awesome, the acid lines, the beat too... there is a certain magic there, maybe a different type of magic, if they aren't the same person after all it feels different, and something feels off in our brains if we are focusing in expecting he is RDJ, squarepusher or someone else known. Heorge Garrison was him. It was pretty close to Steinvord imo. EDIT: When I asked him, he said he has a lot of other aliases. Heorge garrison is this guy: https://plus.google.com/+johncaulfieldvalganon_JCV The initial tracks from the wheatspin soundcloud which then got into the HG bandcamp had this google profile linked since the beginning. He just adds "location: spain" and so on to fool the public into thinking he is steinvord, probably as a reference/joke. Both the steinvord and heorge garrison tracks are pretty cool but clearly isn't the same output, at least to me. These tracks most likely took a couple of years to complete so more like 15 to 16 when he started.. pretty crazy, just to compare what tracks one was doing at that age vs these ones lol I can see why they signed him. Who else does this style of music out there? Few can pull it off to create decent tracks. Unfortunately we will not get a proper release and are stuck with the low bitrate myspace rips. I think about how it's been like 10 years... he must be sitting on a goldmine of unreleased tracks at this point. In any case he can't be bothered to get anything released anymore. Maybe he has a lot of money and doesn't need the extra that gigs and records could bring him, maybe he just doesn't care, who knows. For whatever reason he decided to stay anonymous and we must respect that.

Will not listen until I get the real thing, 96kbps is too low to bother!

I wonder what's next for Tom once he's done touring these for the rest of the year. 2019 may be the time for some new tunes. Put in on a mega link or something and someone will.

I reckon I did read in some interview once how they used way more sampling than most people believe (as they think it's all generated with complex algorithms and whatnot)

Universal Indicator Red has as cat# TR 606 I wonder what "ALL Rephlex mate" means. It will include other artists that aren't afx? TR 606 isn't even confirmed that it was Rich isn't it? I reckon it was rumored it was a collab with Mike, maybe even Grant was involved. I would like love to see all the Rephlex discography on the shop, but since Rephlex artists now own the copyright of their music, they would need to ask every single person that was part of Rephlex, but it would be worth it as that site gets a lot of traffic and having it all there nicely ordered it's better than scattered across a ton of websites, and the artists would be able to make some revenue, again since Aphex Twin's site is going to get a lot more traffic than individual bandcamps set by each Rephlex artist. Or maybe a separate rephlex.warp.net site? With some unreleased stuff and so on. There were so many good records, I was just listening to Journey by TGP and feeling nostalgic. That was a nice song. I wonder where these guys are nowadays.

That screenshot of the old Rephlex website is such a throwback. I remember my surprise when they uploaded 1 track, and to think in the future we would get 250 tracks.

I wonder what the number of tracks will be a year from now if he keeps randomly adding more.

I scrolled down fast to lurk a bit at work and saw something changed on my right, it was the number of tracks going from 288 to 230. I was excited to hear something following up Nightmail 1 but got 2 modular tracks instead

Im sorry if you took that the wrong way, my own grammar is shit, at the end of the day we are all kidding here, speculating about an artist you like is pretty addictive, and this is the only place on the entire internet to talk about it and try to get some news. I reckon in another forum I've had hundreds of posts about Burial in a similar speculation thread back in the day.. gotta kill time somehow at work. And actually you are right, and I get now why we are all confused about this. He's not replying to Face Culler saying he's American... because I swear I remember Face Culler saying "He is an American dude" as if he knew for a fact, so Richard's quote was a direct reply to that, which to me it totally sounded like "he's not Tom, Rich, or American". So he either deleted the comment Richard was replying to, or im developing alzheirmers. Again, sorry for any misunderstandings. And jokes aside, i'm actually worried, because I was 100% certain that I saw that.
