Guest HokusPoker Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 Is there a site or wearethemusicmaker somewhere that has some explanations why particular tracks of AFX were given their names (if there are any at all)? e.g. why 4 and not 44? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Barricade Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 Few more: "Taking Control", because hes taking control over teh drum machine. "Father", because he has a father. "Avril 14th", because he made the track on april 14th, but wanted to give it a french vibe because it's very Erik Satie-ish. "Orban Eq Trx4", because it has an urban kinda vibe too it, sounds like the soundtrack from Ghost Dog by RZA. :embrassed: "Beskhu3epnm", because his pet walked over the keyboard when he hit "Save as..." in Fruity Loops. "Lornaderek", because his mommy and daddy Lorna and Derek are singing happy birthday. "Mt Saint Michel Mix+St Michaels Mount" and "Aussois", because they're just pretty places. "Gwarek", because one bird track title wasn't enough (Cuckoo). "Prep Gwarlek 36", because he sometimes like to spell animal's names wrong (Alspacka). "Cock/Ver10", because it's the 10th version of a song named Cock (after Smelly Cunts it was bound to happen). "Afx237 V.7", because he's just tha mutha fuckin' AFX. That's it, bitch!

Guest Vegeta897 Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 ^ lol Serious one now: He's said in an interview that his songs are either girls or boys, and Girl/Boy Song he says is a mix of both. But everyone knows that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aencre Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 "Orban Eq Trx4", because it has an urban kinda vibe too it, sounds like the soundtrack from Ghost Dog by RZA. :embrassed: I thought it was a reference to the Orban rackmount equalizer.

ilt17 Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 Digeridoo : Because when he played live in Cornwall around early 90' (and he hadn't found any title for this song yet), people screamed "Digeridoo !" in order him to play it. Tamphex : Because he recorded an advert for women... and then mixed the product's name with 'Aphex'. Alberto Balsalm : Because he had a shampoo in '94 which was called "Albeto Basalm". Ventolin : Because his asthma. Windowlicker : Because in 1998 he had a french girlfriend, and in french, a windowlicker means someone who does a lot of shopping. Tha : Because Samantha Robinson. Ageispolis : Hmm... Good question. Untitled : Because he didn't find one. Oh, realy ?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Helper ET Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 I have some Alberto Balsam in my bathroom. Hehe, when I saw that shit in a grocery store I couldn't believe it. So does Richard really like Alberto Balsam or does Alberto Balsam really like Richard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragon Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 Anyone noticed the correlation in the style of these tracks? AFX 2 AFX 6/b AFX 114 AFX 237 v7 AFX Acid 04 They seem to be more experimental, yet aesthetic Annoying beeping/foam laser, yet the melody just brings out all the trapped atmosphere (though the structuring was probably done by Tom Middleton) Sounds that could have easily been used in an ambient context repeated at high speed for 30 seconds Playing with a radio receiver, looping samples of it, and managing to get perfect rythym Even choppier [equation] samples than the ones in 54 Cymru beats And something emotional, yet totally subjective.
