  1. Facial maps, chocolate coins, blimps, receipts, synths, scary kids, diy vids.

     

    What will the promo machine come up with next for Aphex?

     

    I guess anything goes really - Stem cells, prison license plate manufacture, undiscovered frog species, political parties........ I don't mind but it just seems random, semi-ironic, self-aware yet earnest. a mixed bag of whatever. I think they all connect through Richards own mind or at least a tangent from some thought he had once.

     

    long may it last though

  2. feckin waay behind here.

     

    AE_LIVE made me skip my Exai listening adventure.

     

    Then elseq comes along and Ive not made it past 1-2 yet because fucking afx is back to distract me with this cheetah business and the subsequent resurfacing on my sound system of syro, Sc dump etc

     

    But i'm on holidays at the end of july so will digest everything properly then. Tell squarepusher to chill with his new shit and ........as for Boards....theye're good


    i say "else q"

  3. I msg'd the ma on fb representing WATMM's best wishes and general feel goodness and she replied:

     

    "That's so very nice of you thanks so much.... were just absolutely thrilled for him 1f60a.png . Glad he made you're year that's amazing thank you. I will pass it on to Ryan 1f609.png"

  4. i expect something to appear on the various arts shows on the national radio/tv channels here.

     

    I actually know an up-and-coming arts radio show presenter who would be perfect for an interview with the lad... i may just tweet him

  5. Just watched the kids "Mess Head" (squarepusher/chaso AD )video. The fact he likes the track the and video being what it is is just amazingly brilliant..

     

     

     

     

    All of this is is really classic AFX. the track is gorgeous and emotional. the video is raw/simple and innocent and pretty much "guardian think-piece" proof although I can see it coming.

     

    In the end you just know that RDJ digs that a kid has discovered his music and is unfettered by irony or media-savviness.... at the same time this gives way to mass consumption and contemporary media-viral-ness which is unavoidable if something is just bloody good... but "at the heart of it all" is THE MUSIC and THE PASSION.

     

    10/10

  6. fuck sake ive not even listened to Exai properly yet......

    im same

     

    I know all the AE_LIVE stuff back to front but Exai needs more listens

  7. I listen to most of my music in the car nowadays so I really need to find ~50 minutes to drive around and listen to elseq 1 as a whole so I can move on to 2...

  8.  

    I just bought a fucking new car this week - a new new one -first and last time ever probably. I think Rab n Steve fucking KNEW i needed some musics for it

     

    You're not the only one who's skint mate. Can't see myself getting the flac bundle for at least 4 weeks! lol. Such is life.

     

    its not the money.. its the driving around with new car = new car stereo = chhhhooonns. #Likeaboss

  10. I don't see how gigging like they've always done is "interacting with fans" or giving something back.

     

    In that case RDJ has done a shitload of "interacting" with his 100's of DJ sets 96-2014. We also know he's got more releases coming.

     

    As for this being some sort of Warp-driven fan-payback to have SP and Ae produce live shows? sounds a bit simplistic. They're just doing their musical thing.

  11. My take on the soundcloud dump is that's his version of AE_LIVE in that it's his way of having direct interaction with the fans. Autechre has their live shows (would they even make much $ off the NA tour? Tickets were like $30?), and Squarepusher is playing all his classic tracks with a live band via shoobadoobie one. They're all centered on some sort of live interaction with the fans.

     

    Personally I think they are listening to the fans and this is a great time to be a fan of (good) warp acts.

    Comparing soundcloud banter to blasting out mental beats at a gig is a bit of a streeetch. Its all good stuff but hardly comparable interaction-wise. Sorry i just turned 42 and am squirley :P Aslo RDJ had DJ'd a lot and ae, sp always do the rounds.... no biggy

  12. I seriously think RDJ's recent quiet period is him listening to Ae live and being so blown away he now works in Lidl deciding on whether to stock hammers or oven mits this week
