auxien Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 Speedy J aka Jochem Paap aka other things too i think opened up a Bandcamp. i think much or all of this was available elsewhere but he's also got a pretty decent discount on the whole lot. from the page: Quote Hey, here's a selection of stuff I did between 1990 and 2007. Originally released on +8, Warp and NovaMute. Everything has been remastered. For more recent stuff check the STOOR Bandcamp page and Electric Deluxe Bandcamp page. Cheers! J i'm interested because someone here or on the notchatmm Discord turned me on to this release which i'm finally going to purchase: https://speedyj.bandcamp.com/album/vrs-mbnt-pcs-9598-ii track two is the key one, great shit. anyway thought others might be interested perhaps 10 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Extralife Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 Yes. I’m interested. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exitonly Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 speedy j is way under appreciated imo. as your bc embed points out, he’s got a wide range of work. the ambient stuff for fax is so good and you’ve got a shocking hobby which ranks as one of the best idk albums of all time. his webcast stuff is awesome as well 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Extralife Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 I always rated Public Energy as my favorite but you are right on all points. He is super talented and super underrated. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xxx Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 I instabought the deal to cover my gaps. Quite a bit of overlap in my case but it makes the releases $2.25 a piece and puts Christmas money in J-Paap's pocket. Speedy is genius honestly. I always get fixated on reverse engineering tracks. I can remember asking somewhere how even though "DX" is in the title of dx-snth, there's no way FM synthesis could ever be that lush. I've always had PSS series Yamaha sounds in my head or Sega Genesis. Somebody answered that I'd be surprised over what could be done and the DX100 was all over Aphex's ambient works stuff. Anyway, I wish I could play that one for myself because it's like an audio analogy of the sun. I'd time the transitions to fade up across an actual night, into the sunrise and then conclude at dusk. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onecaseman Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 "Balk Acid" from A Shocking Hobby has always been a favorite. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh my god yes so much. Track 2 is just .... I've no idea how many times I've heard it ! So when Speedy J announced the digital remasters last night I couldn't wait to download a copy this morning ! Also only previously had a rather poopy rip of Loudboxer - so great to grab a FLAC of the bad boy ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcom Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 (edited) Yasss. Thank you for the heads up, I have most of the material on vinyl already, some on CD as well, but full discog it is - the albums alone are worth it.

Satans Little Helper Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 The "various ambient pieces 95-98 part 2" is so so much better than part 1 though. It's ridiculous. Part 2 blasts 1 out of the water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcom Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 (edited) I guess everyone knows about Stoor, Speedy J's abstract collaboration project with extremely limited releases and no digital? Oh, it was mentioned by OP, well anyway. Edited December 17, 2021 by dcom 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Extralife Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 (edited) Just snagged the discog as well. “Yasss” is right. Edited December 17, 2021 by Extralife 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcom Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 (edited) BTW it's the first time Pepper (The Hot Mix) is officially available in digital, Warp released it only on vinyl and CD. There is also an alternative version of Symmetry (the definitive version of which is on AiII) on the !ive album.

Part 2 blasts 1 out of the water. idk, listened to Part 1 through last night and it's pretty good, first half in particular. nothing on it is quite as outstanding as Mrg-Vrx from Part 2, but that could be said of much music in existence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
