Pretty sure this track wasn't made in 1992:

 

 

Aphex Twin – 1992? – ‘Gabbro Rod Fix’

[mcbpete]

Yeah, sounds more H.A.B. era

[Joyrex]

Gabbro Rod Fix was indeed made around that time, and was played at a live show.

to be clear... around which time? 1992 or HAB era?

[delet...]

I'm really digging this supposed Afx remix that isn't properly released or mentioned anywhere else on the internet LMAO

 

**links removed

 

I'm also enjoying this supposed Mike and Rich tune that sounds fairly reasonable as well lol

 

**Links removed

 

 

forgot that's against the rules here, don't want to get banned for posting potentially leaked Afx tunes.

 

check the unreleased tracks/remixes page on the blog ;)

1992 - it was a show where Paul Nicholson (dancer/designer of the Aphex Twin logo and font) performed as well... I can't recall off the top of my head the name of the show at the moment, though.

That's incredible! That track is WAY ahead of its time....

 

Thanks for the info

[beerwolf]

Jesus Christ, lol at the prank phonecall to the radio station about making windows. Marvellous stuff.

And "Gabbro Rod Fix" is not an official name, either.

Oh, yeah I never thought of that. Speaking of I'm going to go listen to some 4-Lom...

 

This one is also new to me, I'm very curious:

 

Talking in Sams Car (5,59) (source TBC)

DAT recording made by Richard of his friends in Sams’ car (Saman-Tha?). Includes some audio trickery.

 

Nice site, very comprehensive, hope it expands as much as possible. Speaking of unofficial names Joyrex, do you know anything about Martin Trezzider/Martin Tressider as a Universal Indicator alias? Supposedly it's some Cornish pirate reference? I've seen it crop up here and there.

This was apart of, I think, the playlist at the Aphex 97 US tour. I think the track is from 95 and after but I could be wrong, it sounds too drill n' bassy to me. He he didn't release much jungle stuff until the Ventolin ep which had some quasi-jungle stuff in it. Like I said i could be wrong but it just doesn't sound like 92 Aphex to me.???

OK this makes me interested, what's the real track title? I had an Aphex 97 US tour playlist compilation some years ago. That Gabbro or whatever it's called just seemed to fi into that 97 playlist quite well, again I could be wrong and sorry if I am but...???:)

Discogs is a very useful site.

 

 

Also what the fuck is drill and bass?

[SR4]

wowwwww that unreleased Caustic Window album track is fucking banging...god I love his old rave stuff.

[rekosn]

that "possibly Mike and Rich" trackis really good, anybody knows anything?

Yeah, that's a pretty advanced breakbeatfuckery that would be totally out of time in 92, no?
