  1. I've gone back to Exai after a BoC TH overload and it's complexity and hidden gems are better than ever............................. That what I love about the big WARP players...... listening to one too much is immediately offset by going back and listening to another. This time its Ae and BoC complementing each other rather fucking nicely....

  2. THANK YOU!

  3. The cover reminded me of this classic 80's film....PLUS the puzzle is a bit like the ."what the hell is this?" vibe of that movie too... Right now I'm fantasizing that this album is like a weird re-working of that films soundtrack.. for today's audience....(harvest)

     

  4. Btw.. Cisco, who run a LOT .... maybe 80% ..of the internet data through their routers and switches, are based in San Francisco (hence the name) and have, this year, changed the cover sheet of their Technical documentation to this..its the San Fran skyline... IRONY much?????

     

    (this is true, not joke this time)

  5. Nah i don't buy it:

     

    Untiitled sounds like a wannabe drukqs era track

    untitled 97 sounds like a a wannabe tuss track......

     

    when i think of the quality of Metz, Manchester and Minehead tracks......these are mega-lame in comparision

  6. Saturday the 26th of September1998 is Olympia Theatre

    So june 2001 is the cyclob as a banana gig promoted by a student who inherited money

    August 2001 is the Rephlex Allstars + beach rave afterwards gig (no aphex at the beach :( )

  7. From an old irish forum by Skatter - well known Irish DJ/electronic artist who is defo in the know:

     

    The first time Aphex Twin played in Ireland was in the Olymp1a on Saturday the 26th of September 1998. The second time was in the Temple Bar Music Centre in June 2001. I don't remember the exact date and I only remember one of the support acts, an Irish guy called The Alpha Incident (who use to be the drummer for an Irish indie band called Palomine. One of the female guitar players from that band is now inThe Chalets). The promoter that time was some "Kidney Promotions", apparently a young guy whose granny had just died and left him a load of cash, and he used it to bring Aphex over. The third time was also in the Temple Bar Music Centre on Friday the 24th of August 2001 with Bogdan Raczynski, Ovuca and Grant Wilson Claridge. That was a U:Mack gig, there was a rave the following night on a beach near Gormanstown (Laytown?) which some of the Rephlex people turned up to and DJed at and was was mentioned on the Warp Records website

  8. From the Aphex Twin promoter in Ireland:

     

     

    "Yes, Olympia was 1998. The next one in tmbc (temple bar music centre) was a Sunday night, I think in 2002, and it was promoted by an art student who'd inherited money."

  9. Thanks for the live gig/dj set listing. Looking forward to mp3 links!!!!

     

    Meanwhile here's a personal account of my intersection with a small percent of em

     

    Not listed - 1997 I think - Rephlex Allstars Tour

     

     

     

    He played "beep street" which was stunning, Billy Oceans "Get into my car", Chris Morris Lady Diana radio bit ..... and Cylob was dressed in a banana costume dancing for the whole gig on stage with other Rephlex crew. Fucking unreal. afterwards or before, Bogdan was pissed as a fart drinking vodka and crashing into his own gear.

    Mental fucking shit.

     

     

    1999 TBC - Olympia Theatre (Dublin, Ireland)

    Was on #yogurts but clearly remember friends being pissed off that it wasn't a beat fest. In fact I have a (drug fueled ) memory of it being an ambient set - SAW 2 heavy. RDJ was invisible/off stage but a long-haired beardy guy was dancing on stage all the same doing cartwheels and stuff. Can't remember who supported but I keep meaning to FB-msg U:MAck who promoted a lot of warp artists in Ireland about this gig....

    Good times!

     

    2001.06.15 – Sonar Festival (Barcelona, Spain)

    Lots of gabba/jungle. some of the heaviest I've ever heard. Squarepusher was meant to play after or before but did a no-show. Again my mates couldn't handle the sound .. the the noise this time . Again, I was off me tits on pills. I'll lash the full mp3s on youtube one of these days...

    It was a bloody excellent trip!

     

     

    2001.06.11 – Temple Bar (Dublin, Ireland)

    This was a Rephlex Disco Assault Systems Inc. gig btw

     

    I dressed up in a Windowlicker style blond wig.. which you can see for about 3 secs @ 5.45 in the video. I took lots of snaps with a disposable camera of RDJ hidden behind the desk (i shot em through the gap between it and the floor). I swore he was taking pictures back at me but i lost the fucking camera.

     

    The next day was a beach party attended by dj rephlex records and we flew kites on the dunes...

     

     

    2002.08.24 – Leeds Festival (Leeds, UK)

    - Went with the g/f at the time. Cannot remember a single bloody thing

     

     

     

    2003 TBC - Ocean Room – Warp Party (Hackney, London, UK) Aphex Twin Vs Luke Vibert

    Went with my go-to-gigs-with Italian buddy "Liam" and we got truly fucked well before the gig, falling asleep on the circle line before taking more yokes at the gig. They played relentless jungle and i got up on stage at one point and was quickly removed. I have a clear memory of going upstairs to the john and forgetting if i was going up or down, half way. On the way back into the train station i stopped off a moving double decker bus not realising that it hadn't stopped

     

    2003.04.05 – DJ – All Tomorrows Parties (Camber Sands, UK) Performed 2 DJ Sets

    I only recall one set to be honest. The one after Sunn-o)) and which is available though the John Peel show in 2 parts. Anyway I encountered RDJ thrice that weekend outside the gig.... once getting weetabix or something at the shop the next morning looking like an outsized anorexic gnome and then that night dancin his tits off to VSnares right beside me who practically cleared the the room with his wall of noise after his opera-singer set. He also passed me hitting the exits during the fire-alarm at the Magic Band (i think) gig.

     

    Not listed 2003 Sonar Festival (Barcelona, Spain)

     

    Can't remember a bloody thing except a smoke bomb being thrown into a "fuck sonar" event in the city and a jungle beach rave on the way back from the main event.

     

     

    2004.07.?? – Glade Festival (UK)

     

    If this was the first Glade then I was there with a pyscho g/f from hell but we did shrooms and all was well. I remember Aphex just did a very techno orientated set

     

     

    2008.07.11 – Oxegen Festival – Kildare (Ireland)

     

    Takes pictures of the crowd... who sing along three times to the beats! The light show was sooooo shit i'm sure its how weirdcore got involved. But the set was amazing and i recorded it all for youtube (thekeyfumbler). I brought an aphex virgin big into metal and he died with amazement.

     

     

    2009 TBC - STRP Festival (Eindhoven, Netherlands)

     

    A shroom infected trip though Amsterdam and then Eindoven. APhex played (with hecker) back to back with squarepusher, ceephax and vsnares... by which time we were too fucked to give a fuck. A guy had this weird megaphone contraption playing noisy shit as he walked through the crowd and that trippped us out even more

     

    - managed to film it all for youtube (username keyfumbler)

     

     

    2011.06.04-05 – Forbidden Fruit (Royal Hospital Kilmainham, Dublin, Ireland)

     

    Plays autchre for the first time, lady in red by vvm and lots of great shit. Facemapping too. Last time i popped a pill....

    "The strawberrys taste like strawberrys, the snozzberrys taste like snozzberrys

    - who ever heard of a snozzberry?
