Hmm I wonder what that track that comes in at 4:40 is in that clip. Certainly sounds very nice.

Can't help with an MP3 though, sorry!

 

grab it quick before nazirex comes

so is this tune made by someone who goes by the name "tipper"? any one have any info on this artist?

[Solo Strike]

Eh? I'm confused, the song I wanted ID'ing isn't the Tipper one, it was the Vitalic one....

 

That Tipper song is lovely though, was convinced it was Aphex until I stumbled upon it some time ago. You live and learn!

his tune 'twister' is sick!

[Parsifal]

Part of the set can be found here on youtube :

 

The clip of Aphex right at the end, where he pumps his fists in the air, I think that is the only time I've ever seen him acknowledging that there is a crowd present :grin: Every other clip I've ever seen he just stares at his equipment.

 

P.S. Oh how I want there to be a soundboard recording of this!

I totally agree with this comment above. It was a really good set actually, and that's why I'm keen to get my hands on it. But, unfortunately, this set seems rarer that penguin sh*t at the moment! Of course, if I do manage to source a copy from somewhere it will be shared with all haste!

 

I also sent a message to the guy who posted the video on YouTube (immediately after having seen this video) but he told me that was all he had! :(

 

Oh well, thnaks for all your help anyways. I'll keep looking!

[Guest sqruwezey]

nice id's :jedi:

but

still there aint a lot of id's from the primavera set and the pukkelpop set with luke v. while they are even soundboard so shouldnt be too hard to id i think???

I saw these on That Other Site™, but I thought Id post it here cause I never had seen it before. Its a movie 'bout detroit & techno but the beginning has some AFX and stuff. Autechre and LFO later on (2nd half mostly).

[Dale]

nice one

[Guest thegoone]

thanks for these

[Guest AlexPallas]

i added the Words & Music interview tracks only (under interviews: 1994). tracks 3, 5, 7 are lossless wavs, 1 & 8 are mp3s, if you have lossless wavs of tracks 1 and/or 8 please send them to me.

[Guest Caustic]

anyone got a name for Track 10 in the Kiss FM interview? the fast one with the blippy noises. im bad with descriptions.

[Guest CBrown]

two additions for the aphex live at melt tracklist:

71:59 - 73:27 Noisia - Concussion

73:27 - 74:55 ???

74:55 - 76:25 Noisia - The Tide

 

there are missing sooo many tracks in the list. it's amazing how many tracks he plays in 80 minutes..

any1 else can help?

i thought the jungle track at 61 min is well known?!

 

There are two jungle tracks that come after 'Come To Daddy'....the first one (with the souunndbboy samples) i'm not 100% about, but I think it's an old Dj Gunshot track circa '94 ('Soundboy'). Don't quote me on that one though. The one after it is 'Charge' by Dextrous and Rude Bwoy Keith (with the 'Killa-man-jaro' sample).

[Guest Fiasko]

Couldn't see this interview (dated 1993.06.05) below on your interview list. Sorry about the long C&P, feel free to chop it if its taking up too much room. The article also features Drum Club & Orbital talking about the Midi Circus events.

 

Trapezer Good

Which Aphex Twin will answer the doorbell at the schizo-techno boy-wonder's bijou London crash-pad?

 

Sensible young boffin Richard James, hunched over the teetering mound of naked circuitry and customised analogue keyboards which turns out to be half his home-made studio on holiday from Cornwall? Or Evil Twin, Richard's pervy alter-ego who puts sampled orgasms on his answerphone and covers his walls with a defaced snapshot shrine to those daytime TV icons Richard and Judy, rather like multiple murderer Jeffrey Dahmer? The impish Richard who pulverised the charts with the bone-rattling metallic thwack of 'Quoth'? The paranoid Richard who bolted heavy iron 'Aphex Bars' to his bathroom window, ostensibly to deter intruders..?

 

Mercifully, only soft-spoken Good Twin is at home. He turns Neighbours down – not off, never off – and talks about jetting around the globe playing live and negotiating US deals, and remixing Jesus Jones, and churning out masses of material to add to the alleged 60 hours already sitting on shelves. Every two minutes, Richard's saucy answerphone bleeps with fresh offers of DJ and remix work.

 

"I like being busy. I've written about two albums this week, all in the same vein. I find the more work I get, the less time to do music, the better stuff I come up with."

 

Two albums! This week! No wonder Richard has multiple splintered personalities on myriad labels: The Aphex Twin, Polygon Window, AFX, Bluecalx, Caustic Window, Soit-PP, Q-Chastic... And then there's his own Rephlex label, with himself and business partner Clive controlling all stages of record production, from building the instruments to distributing the end product.

 

"I wanted to go through the whole record process from start to finish so I can see what other companies were doing right and wrong," he says; cool idea. But maybe Good Richard is simply too squeaky clean to be true?

 

THE BRIGHT, shiny innocence of his history reads uncomfortably like a press wet dream: stranded in Cornwall with no money or record shops, a teenage electro-boffin pulls apart his first Sinclair kiddy-computer and ends up accidentally inventing ambient techno five years before anyone else even thinks of it. A music from nowhere, obeying no rules and sidestepping all of rock's intellectual baggage? That sound you hear is two thousand journalists masturbating furiously.

 

After years happily making music in deep space, he suddenly wipes the nation's dancefloors with 'Analogue Bubblebath' ("Single Of The Year," gushed NME Vibes-lord Sherman, "I will play this record forever.") and 'Didgeridoo'. Then he casually raids his archives and assembles two early contenders for album of 1993 in the remarkable 'Selected Ambient Works 1985-'92' and the sublime Polygon Window collection 'Surfing On Sine Waves'. What? No wicked stepmother or magic potions?

 

"That's really just the way it happened," shrugs Richard. "I can't see it as anything special. The only intentional thing was, when I started making tracks. I always wanted to build my own stuff anyway, but I realised the sounds I got were original and that would stand me in good stead."

 

Where's the catch? Surely Ozrics fan Rich was an anorak casualty and techno is just the revenge of the bedroom nerds?

 

"Generally speaking it might be, but I was out kicking people in and shagging as well. I was doing everything else at the same time, I was just finding more time to write music. I was finding hours which, for most people, didn't exist."

 

And what about those tales of master tapes played to death on crappy cassette decks, mashed up in car wrecks, soaked in orange juice - with every glitch and imperfection left in the mix? All true. A puritanical, one-take approach which goes right back to early blues and ricochets through punk's seize-the-moment simplicity. I ask if 'Surfing On Sine Waves', with its exquisite Cornish coastline sleeve shot, is a surf music album, and Richard looks quizzical.

 

"What's surf music?"

 

Ah! The bright, shiny innocence of it all.

 

THIS MONTH, Club Dog's phantasmagorical Midi Circus takes over your town, an open-ended rolling revue of dancefloor misfits firing sparks off each other long into the night. This techno update of punk's legendary Anarchy Tour will see Richard crank up his hot-wired Mellotron contraptions, play totally live, and - if past gigs are anything to go by - maybe even electrocute himself on stage. Fun! With fellow ambient technoids Orbital and Eat Static on the same bill, will this be a summit meeting of cyberpunk pioneers surfing similar wavelengths?

 

"Not really," sneers Evil Richard, who has mysteriously replaced Good Twin in a suddenly chill room. "The promoters might think so, but they haven't got a f—ing clue."

 

Ouch. Richard concedes to musical allegiance with nobody except "the person I started off with and fell out with, which hardly anyone knows about... it's quite bizarre when you don't like someone but you like them for their music."

 

Yes! Once upon a time there really were two Aphex Twins. Richard coyly shields his former partner's identity, but enquiries elsewhere point to Tom Middleton of Cornish label Evolution, who specialise in equally pure and organic techno. Since Tom is currently working on a Rephlex release, however, we can safely assume this rift has healed.

 

This month also sees Richard's final release through Belgium's R&S - home of 'Ambient Works' but never an easy relationship - and the new Caustic Window EP on Rephlex. Plus, as NME goes to press, the ink is drying on a contract signing Richard to Seymour Stein's Sire in America, a label famed for giving mass-appeal to cult mavericks like Talking Heads but also for allegedly stifling James (the band) into near-extinction.

 

"We had to choose someone," protests Richard when reminded of Stein's reputation for 'collecting' left-field artists without appreciating their needs. "They had been on our case for quite a while."

 

Richard stays with Sheffield's innovative Warp for the UK and Europe, while retaining control of Rephlex. But surely even this rare degree of freedom will seem constricting compared to the unbridled promiscuity he has enjoyed since the original 'Analogue Bubblebath' set techno-trainspotters chuffing with glee in September 1991?

 

"In the rock world," he muses, "I am led to believe bands are basically signed lock, stock and barrel. They can't do anything under different names, which wouldn't work for me. Record companies aren't geared towards releasing loads of albums, maybe one a year at most."

 

And what if they can't handle a new breed of prolific artist who could potentially deliver 100 albums of original material per year?

 

"I don't care, I'll do it anyway. People tell me I've saturated the market because you go into record shops and half the f—ing display is my records, remixes and stuff. But if no-one bought them it actually wouldn't make any difference because I'm not going to change..."

 

Ah! The bright, shiny, terrifying innocence of it all.

 

HE'S A 2Ist Century Boy. Almost every Aphex review arrives at this conclusion - despite the ancient, tribal feel to many tracks, despite the

dinosaur technology involved, despite Richard's studious avoidance of sci-fi imagery in sleeve photos. But he is too busy making contemporary music to argue his case at the 'Future Of Techno' panels to which he is constantly invited.

 

"It's frustrating to talk about it, because I want to say: listen to this, this is what I've been doing the last few weeks. I suppose people say it's futuristic because it doesn't sound like anything else. These instruments were made in the '70s, but everyone was making shit music with them. I'm using them in ways no-one even knows. I haven't bought anything new for ages because it's crap, everything I've heard I can make myself with maybe £200 worth of stuff."

 

Where Richard truly is futuristic, whether he knows it or not, is in pioneering the shift from techno as short-term, singles-based disco fodder to an artfully packaged, armchair album form. Venturing where only bold voyagers like 808 State have gone before, the gorgeous gatefold sleeve of 'Surfing On - Sine Waves' plainly points towards a timeless artefact whole oceans of tranquillity away from club fashion.

 

"When techno came around everyone had pictures of robots and chips and computer graphics. I hate things like fractals and all that shit, they piss me off more than heavy metal."

 

Richard raves about moving into soundtracks and visuals and watching bizarre mindf— tapes made by NASA experts. "I did six videos once in 24 hours, for these acid tracks I'd made. I was up all night doing it with all this mad camera feedback, which is terrible, it makes you really sick"

 

Meanwhile, 'Ambient Works 2' is due from Warp in September. Not an archive collection but fresh material because, as Evil Twin Richard chuckles, "I haven't actually made a new record yet."

 

Incredible but true. The sound of the future was laid down years before this 21st Century schizoid boy first went public.

 

"Schizophrenia, that's my idea of the future," Richard beams. "I wish I had two minds, then I'd get twice as much done."

 

Imagine, 200 Aphex albums a year! A permanent schizo soundtrack. Bright, shiny, innocent music for an ever-accelerating universe.

73:26 - 74:55 Dave Akuma - Loss of Self (http://www.discogs.com/release/635370)

 

Drums&Basstard, I'm surprised you didn't ID that Dave Akuma tune, it's on the same record as 15 bit.

 

There's one more tune on here that I KNOW I've heard somewhere before, and it's the hip hop tune that starts at 5 mins. I'm pretty certain that it's a J Dilla or Madlib production. Could quite possibly be on the Quasimoto LP, but I don't have it and I can't download it just now cause I'm out of the country for work. It's not on the following:

Jaylib - Champion Sound

J Dilla - The Shining

Jay Dee - Welcome 2 Detroit

Jay Dee - Ruff Draft

Madlib - Shades of Blue

Madvillain LP

 

If somebody else could check out some more madlib/j dilla stuff and try to find this I'd appreciate it cause it's annoying the hell out of me. As I said I would do it if I was at home but I'm stuck here till Sunday.

[Guest Drum&Basstard]

Drums&Basstard, I'm surprised you didn't ID that Dave Akuma tune, it's on the same record as 15 bit.

 

:embrassed:

 

LOL, just ided it via macc & dgohn's myspace page... thank you very much for the ids!!! :stuart:

[Guest sqruwezey]

Are there any setlists or track recognized from the atp 2002 set? would really like to know some tracks

was surprised its quite good quality is it remastered or something

 

please can someone help!

[Guest AlexPallas]

what?

[Guest Drum&Basstard]

he wants a tracklist for this set:

2002-03-16 - USA-California-Los Angeles - All Tomorrow's Parties

[Guest CBrown]

I can name a bunch from that set. I've even got a video of it, if I knew how to convert it from VHS I'd do it.

 

Anyway, if someone provides a template and starts it off, I'll add a bunch.

[Guest AlexPallas]

tell me more about this VHS, i have the capabilities to transfer it, but it would be in a rather thick file

[Guest CBrown]

tell me more about this VHS, i have the capabilities to transfer it, but it would be in a rather thick file

 

A friend of mine went to the show and recorded it (well, about 85% of it) on a hand-held...really not a bad recording either, although it does get jittery late in the set. It's worthwhile I believe. Joyrex has a copy as well....

 

So yeah, I've got the copy just sitting here...

[Guest AlexPallas]

pm me if you're interested in having it up. i wont beg if its a bother.
