Richard D James SoundCloud - A Gift To The Fans

[Guest Londonskater]

 

 

im kind of astonished you guys already already picking up on these little differences, so much music to digest in so little time. good job though

 

To be honest, it was only because I'd tagged the 128 versions and was trying to do a quick copy and paste of info to the new 320's. I organised the files by track length as some of the names had changed (Like Sline had become Jap Flute Energy Rave) and thats when the Phlangebeat thing became apparent.

 

 

Here you go...two DIFFERENT versions of Phlangebeat. One running at 5:11 and one at 4:37. It starts to get a bit different at the 3 mins mark.

Odd, right?

 

And this one doesn't have some glitch like the 'extended' Dixons track had. Interesting, thanks for grabbing it so fast then :)

 

 

I like that it slips further into Ventolin (Praze-And-Beeble) than the shorter version, too...

 

 

another glitch, it just repeats last 34s at the end, you guys are imagining too much

 

 

 

Here are a couple of files I remastered for you all. A louder sounding version of bellbrk with the loud subs made a bit more managable, and utopia with the low mids softened and those hi-freq fm sounds less harsh.

utopia (EQ): https://www.dropbox.com/s/25tniohmlvcb4t0/8%20utopia%20%28EQ%29.mp3?dl=0

mastering mp3's? my ears hurt..

wow thanks a lot mike

[WeAreOceans]

I'm just glad Warp are not making any money from these tracks and that we, the fans, are enjoying this moment with an artist we like.

 

Desintermediation is the way to go. :)

 

record companies abuse their power, I don't think anyone can deny that, but I think for most folks looking to do physical distributions, use studio time, get mastering services, promote themselves, organise gigs and stuff, they don't have the money or time for it.

 

I can't see intermediaries for music ever going away, really. Richard is a very unique case due to his infamy and previous success.

[may be rude]

Someone may have already said this, but what is the possibility that this SC bounty is all leadup and promo for a forthcoming "Unreleased Aphex Backcatalog" compilation, coming from Warp in the not too distant future?

Is there any chance that these are tracks that "just didn't make the cut?"

 

he released an ep a week ago. a really cool one

I just realised I'm stupid

[Vaaler9]

Thanks Bambi for the remasters :) Those highs on Utopia are definitely more tolerable.

[MassfreeKid]

Thanks Bambi! Good work.

[Vaaler9]

Probably blaspheming, but would it be a bitch and 1/2 remaster out the tape fuzz and general noise out of Syro? Not that I'm trying to task anyone to do that, just curious.

[amnesia]

thats like asking to remove the piss from Piss Christ.

and there i was, thinking that syro sounds too polished and clean, wanting people to remaster the shit out of it, so it would became more like 90s raw and dirty, with loads of hiss and tape...tastes, huh?

[petina]

with the metric shitton of analogue gear used on syro it's a wonder really how richard got the noise level as low as it is

[Hugh Mughnus]

I love the noise/hiss in Syro, especially on tracks like 4 bit...

Haha yeah, I regretted hitting post pretty much 5 seconds later. Follow up question: Would someone mind recreating Syro on Logic using the massive softsynth and sample libraries? I think I would prefer it. so clean!

^ Wow that gif is hot.

[modey]

He also said there will be a release of an elaborate box set with all sorts of archive material (not only Aphex) for the 20th anniversary.

 

That last bit is already way overdue

Was this not the warp20 boxset?
