Guest Akiak Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 I really don't see rdj remaking an old track. It's more likely just remastering, switching some of the tracks around, picking some previously ignored tracks, perhaps making some new ones, basically trying to turn it into a more proper, solid, release.

pikkio Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 MfM is one of the best unreleased/bootleg album ever. If aphex manage to get a new version (or remastered or reworked) of MfM it will be a dream come true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it'd be really interesting to hear MfM re-imagined. We got Caustic Window as it was back in the 90's, so hearing an old recording with a new take would be sweet.

Salem1976 Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 I love that album and always wished it would get a proper release. The prospect of its release has me so excited! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lumpenprol Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 melodies from mars is one of his very best works imo, almost up there with SaW2. Hadn't heard it until recently, and was pretty blown away. Very quirky and personal and doesn't seem to have "the listener" in mind (like most of his later works which seem rather self-conscious) I hope if he does reissue it, he doesn't mess with it in any way. It's a lovely work as is. Minimalism is part of its appeal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest progben Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Anyone else of the opinion that MfM will be released as a companion piece to Syro this year (RE that post predicting two aphex albums and clarks)? Personally I think it'd be a good time to release some 'classic' music to satisfy the fanbase whilst the hype is fresh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I think it'd be a good time to release some 'classic' music to satisfy the fanbase whilst the hype is fresh I'm getting the same vibes! I agree, I feel it coming. And marketing wise, it would be a wise decision. It would create a huge AFX buzz. First Caustic Window LP, then Syro and then MfM, it's like wow, who would have thought... With Joyrex using it as his avatar, it's like his muted way of saying: hey guys, it's coming soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jasondonervan Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 If it is incoming, I strongly believe it won't be packaged with that fancy JR avatar as the cover, Roger Hargreaves' estate might want some pennies if it were! Perhaps it's all a clever ruse - what if badger pic turns out to be the MFM cover? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joyrex Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 The biggest mystery will be what, if any of the original 8-track EP that was scheduled to be released on Rephlex survives and ends up being released (if it does indeed get released). I have no clue what tracks were on the test pressing vs. the cassette tape that everyone is familiar with. And for the record, my avatar is just the graphic designer in me having fun - I might do one for Analogue Bubblebath 5, or the Analogue Bubblebath Anthology...

Boris de Vries Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Ah, Melodies From Mars. My very first exposure to Aphex Twin. In fact, I've gotten so used to the quality of the tracks that are out there now, I don't really care for a good quality version that much. I always liked the lo-fi aestetic of it as it is now. I'd rather have Aphex twin release new, unheard music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that's very cool and I'm glad that it seems there's more new aphex twin coming. What I was trying to say that calling it Melodies From Mars would be weird to me because I'm so used to what it is right now. It's sort of already out there and it has a life of it's own.
