    Had 200+ notification emails, starting from early this morning...mostly from the DANK MEME thread, plus some from Societas X, Funny Autechre Stories and a couple of others too.

    I think you're all getting a bit distracted and need to concentrate your energies on the BoCset, people.

    I could easily post shit-tons of stuff in here, but aye....Coldplay, Timberlake, Taylor Swift...etc., but for now: Not guilty, I schponked a few quid to own this version (only available on his inconsequential LP) on vinyl...

    I'll condense these into one because the LoLs are minute...if at all. Oncechre: Back in 2010 I downloaded an Oversteps zip file, prior to (i.e. intending to) spunking £XX.XX on the vinyl version...hadn't been into the 'chre that much since LP5, to be honest, so this new one sounded like a return to form (for me)...proper beats, some tune structure recognisable to my pathetic brain etc., oh my stars. A few months later I then got a copy of the boxset in MVE Notting Hill for £20. Rushed home and stuck the needle on track 13, thinking "aye, let's start with 'krylon', no fucking about"...gutted. WTF was this? Not what I had listened to previously, obviously. After some searching I discerned it was an Altered Carbon LP...and krylon was actually called 'Sleav'. Subsequently downloaded The Real Oversteps and um, nah. The OG AC is still a damn fine release and I don't ever listen to Oversteps much. Dostechre: So I got the chance to see them play in Leeds in 1997, at some University thing called Planet Alice. Was down from Scotland visiting pals, it seemed like a belter of an idea. Beer + Weed x Autechre = ? Never having experienced them live before, I naively expected a greatest hits thus far kind of set with Second Bad Vilbel played around ten times in a row (of course), plus Basscadet and Crystel for encores. Didn't happen haha. Trestechre: Cut to 2000 and it's the Lighthouse party in Docklands...I'd bought tickets because of Boards, whilst still in Scotchland, but then moved to Norwich in the intervening months. My lass didnae fancy a night of electronica (who would?) and so a mate from Fife came down for the pairty. T'was a pain in the arse queue to get in (gotta get them minidisc recorders banned lol) and then we're in and BoC's spacebar stuck, heh. They were grand after the Great Unsticking though, worth the admission fee alone (as expected). We then try for some Ae action and it's nul on the banger front again. WTF guyz. No Windowlicker, no Brace Yourself Jason, no Bad Vilbelz...fuck. Left before the end. Then we catch a bit of the Skam Records DJ set and there's good ol' Eutow blasting out, shaking those aged Trinity Buoy Wharf windows from their petrified putty foundations. Yeah, this was what I wanted, sorry cheers mate. Then me and my pal couldn't be arsed to hang around for Aphex (cos the "let's not advertise timings" thing reaaaallly worked out well) and so we walked for a few hours back to Highbury, which was as awful as it sounds at 3/4/5am in the morning. Happy days.

    Yep, £17 for a 12" isn't madness at all. Luckily I can pick this fucker up from Phonica and save on the shipping at least. I'm just a slave to an illusion (or something).

    I work at a Museum as a Technician and we regularly undertake pest trapping as part of what is known as 'preventative conservation', i.e. keeping tabs on what sort of insects are coming into our stores and liable to 'eat' the collections...e.g., clothes moths, silverfish, furniture/carpet beetles, etc., etc. We were checking traps back in January and I picked up quite a spicy one, with several large woodlice on it, in numbers above normal. As is the way, I always have the mp3 player and Popmaster speaker on the trolley...do like to whistle as I work, and all that....Corc was playing. Knowing this particular Autechre track as well as I do, a tiny bit of inspiration then occurred...which I documented for reasons. (Trigger warning: possibly urgh / dead insects / not sure if funny)

    No one else getting massive Bacon Mountains vibe from the T69 vid? I like APhex and Bacon so this is a fucking gamechanger for me. If he isn;t reinventing the music-wheel, so to speak, I'd like to thank Richard for making me think of Bacon Mountains (copyrighted)

    ... take a guess at the locations in which the tracks were recorded. five overall, three recorded in cornwall, two in london. might also relate to the locations shown in the video? it got me thinking of the countdown numbers round Ooh rachel riley Well, possibly...but he's an old-timer, so he's probably more intae Carol Vordermanhosbn..?

    Enjoyed it for what it was...a great blockbuster with heart. It resonated more with me when Luke and Leia were on screen, but that's because I'm 47 and they're from my youth. The new characters were good value, Rose especially I thought. Poe is still a bit of a dick and Rey as wooden as hell. Obviously there are amazing little moments, interactions and 'what-have-you', but they're spoilers so I'll keep them to myself. pewpewpewpew/5

    Same here...bought mine from Rough Trade for £29.99 this afternoon...support your local shop and all that. If 'free' digital is only available by buying from the Mu shop, then they should maybe make that a bit fucking clearer on their page. BOOHOO F1RST W0RLD PLOBLEMS FFS GUES ILL JUST ILEGAL DONwLOAD FILESZ 4ROM RUSIAN EXE SITE (It's a fucking lush remaster and top jerb all round effort though)

    I took this photo after eating some Chinese food last year. Seeing as RDJ has been picking o'er the bones of his back catalog for the last few days, seems apt to post it now. Thanks for all the soul food Mister James, I'm stuffed.

    These are a couple of crackers. Can't recommend the Southwold Summer IPA from Marks & Spencer highly enough…6.7% of deep summer joy. The Tesco Double IPA is made for them by Brewdog…it's the same as the Vladimir Putin limited edition they did earlier this year…9.2% of total taste fuckery.

    Got the same feeling, though I'd bet on one or two minor offbeat gems on this record. Out of three songs that have surfaced, none do much for me. Muttley seems like a cool novelty throwback rave song, but something you'd move on from after listening to it two or three times. Reading Mike P's tracks descriptions did wet my appetite, but he is in many ways a hype-man and not to be trusted seriously. Aphex wasn't very strong with song structure in his early years, and I doubt anything on the CW LP has a level of originality and sophistication that would be worthy of our collective attention if it weren't for the absence of new released works from Richard. Hope I'm way off-track for those eagerly waiting their download vouchers. I see your point. I think it's an album for those of us who've been there since the 90's. Back then, what Aphex was doing, despite his lack of "song structure" as you say, went beyond what a song was supposed to be. More than original, it was revolutionary. It's impossible to see it that way in 2014. So I guess it's a very nostalgic pleasure we'll be getting from this unreleased album. A trip back in time. If you're not that excited, well, it's not an album for you! No big deal. I got into Aphex back with Come to Daddy, but had heard a little bit before then. I've got plenty of years invested in enjoying his music, I just don't worship him. Which leads me back to not spending $16 on a record (nay, a digital copy) that I've only heard a few (imo mostly weak) outtakes from. I hope the record is mind-blowing. But I'm not a fanboy for RDJ to the point of dropping that sort of money based on what little I've heard. Now if this had been for a lost Autechre album, I doubt I would've blinked to whip out my credit card and wang... LOL. Unless you're homeless or unemployed then $16 ain't a poop in the woods. It's RDJ for fuck's sake…even if just one track hits the spot it'll be worth it.

    a cup? =) Two girls?

    You do understand there are only 5 (6) people in this world that could leak this, right? you guys
  23. ravedamage
    Well, that's aw excellent 'news' n' that, but I wont believe it until oscillik confirms it like.
  24. ravedamage
    dunno why people keep dwelling on some kind of hope that there will be an officially sanctioned vinyl pressing. it's not happening. this has already been confirmed I do believe a vinyl bootleg will make its way out whenst-ever and such…I, for one, will purchase such an item cos I dinnae gie a fuck about audiophile listenng rates and that. I just want the wax so's I can occasionally play it out and that. Quids In, yo. Pre-bought. Cos I am that dumbass etc.

    They're so damn amazing. I did a super pumped up dance remix of one of their unreleased pop songs; hopefully it surfaces sometime soon. Heh, yeah…was you and yer good lady I saw 'em with in Melbourne, back in Sept 2010, when my Sis lived there…was good to meet the WATMMS…still play the CDs you gave me that night. Was quite surprised to see the Uzi 10" in Perth, back in January…bought it without even listening…is pretty nice…not as loud as that gig though! Look forward to hearing yer mix Sir!
