Richard D James SoundCloud - A Gift To The Fans

[zazen]

 

 

Can anyone upload the Girl/Boy dark version? I missed that one and god damn do I want to hear that...

https://www.dropbox.com/s/pocrd58ckqpz267/5%20Girl%20Boy%20Dark%20Version.mp3?dl=0

 

Thanks!... Damn, this is eerie in the minor key, I love it!

 

So did he switch the whole thing into a minor key for this version?

[Q27]

Are people copying down the descriptions on the tracks? I have a note with them all, at least I think I have them all.

 

The main thing this event has done is remind me that I need to listen back to stuff I haven't listened to much.

 

I like seeing people talk about a track & going to listen to them for the first time. I've been listening to tracks piece by piece.

 

Depression has made it hard for me to get excited for things for so long. Richard's recent activity has been bumping me back into being capable of getting hyped. I am grateful. I hope I can keep the positivity going for a while.

 

I need to put them on my iPod in a proper order.. I think I'll just put them as close to upload order as I can and dig in. But what about Girl/Boy Dark Version & Red Calx? Shruggo. I don't think it matters now, people will figure out good ways to order things.

I did some retagging of the first batch and uploaded them again as well as the new ones. I've made two archives so if you're looking for the last 40 you can download just those separately.

 

Tracks 1-112: https://mega.co.nz/#!sMBh1RRR!LteXZWa0-a-p1-TwjWnxIA_3cc6gtQMCdUvGb50gguI

Tracks 113-152: https://mega.co.nz/#!pJB1lQTQ!vwx_WR4-KAFLxJovJMMEjVxB_f9MUpiGZd85f8-8B68

 

File names are still as downloaded from Soundcloud, I took some liberties with the tags though.

 

Artist and Album tags for all tracks are now 'AFx' and 'Sc' respectively. There's some extrapolation or assumption on my part that that's what would have been used for the earlier files as well if he'd planned ahead on making them downloadable, and for the sake of uniformity I've ignored the few exceptions in the last batch that had different or no tags.

 

Track numbers are still the order they were uploaded in, and the title tags as on Soundcloud (i.e., including the numbers, and any capitalization or other differences from the file name). Comments and artwork for each track are in the tags too. Not included are the hashtags from SC (there are very few that aren't "afx" or "early afx" or similar anyway) and any tags from the original files besides the comments (e.g., the Traktor or iTunes stuff).

 

I've also stopped using the Total Tracks tag as there is/was no predetermined number of tracks anyway, and this way if he decides to ever upload anything again, I don't have to go back and change the older sets. Unless something happens that gives me the urge to revisit the tags of course.

 

Again, if anyone downloads this, it would be nice to let me know if I messed up somewhere (missing or bad files/tags/whatever), with so many tracks it's getting easy to overlook things.

 

Thank you!!!!

This spreadsheet probably has everything you're looking for, including the upload order for those two deleted tracks: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/11ouNaaVrNp60Ib34Kp0TO1n1XSc7-9DvfiZ9ZiTiD2c/htmlview?sle=true#gid=0

Yowza! Those cottage tracks have a special freakish wizardry to them. I agree with, I think it was John Ehrlichman who pointed out they have similarities to the 2 Analord 10 tracks which are some of his best IMO.

I'm still trying to recuperate from this month of madness. After so many years of zero Aphex, all of a sudden I don't have enough time in the day to listen to ALL the new stuff from Syro to the EP to the Soundcloud "dump" (yes we should change the title). I have to say though I always loved delving into Aphex's albums and listening to them individually as a complete body of work. I'm finding it hard to get into SO many tracks without a solid album identity supporting them. Any chance of anyone making a couple of cohesive "albums" with all this stuff? Not talking about a "best-of" compilation, but rather something that gels with its ups & downs and weird interval/throwaway tracks etc. I don't know, maybe it's just me...

and again thx to whoever made the mega file of all tune pack

https://mega.co.nz/#!YxUmlLRL!YmwgGEfkFItFeYwu2pNvxev1S6V9DJobJLttjzCN4rU

Can this be edited?I mean Can I edit it?

 

The break in PrncDMC (and one of the breaks in Pink Floyd) is the previously discussed funky drummer break from Run's House by Run DMC. The spreadsheet wrongly attributes it to Nautilus. And it's driving me crazy.

This all is just b-e-a-u-tiful. Every time when Richard has mentioned that he has tons of tracks laying around I've been thinking that they must mostly be something like alternate takes of the tracks he has released or some jams or then simply tracks that aren't fully finished. But these all are pretty much new never before heard finished pieces and stellar as fuck. Was scratching my head when he said that it's way too difficult to delve into his archives and choose which songs to put to boxset but can definitely understand that now. What tracks would I choose to be released from this lot?.....eh, all of them. Hell, I haven't even got to listen to them all. And my guess is that there are much more tracks that he is holding only for himself. How he has been able to choose the tracks to his back catalogue releases is beyond me. IMO pretty much all of these would have deserved to be released earlier along those.

 

I have been feeling little awkward when people have been praising RDJ as a Mozart of today although I've always loved him over any other artist. But can't really come up with a better term. Dude is a king for sure (<=obligatory fanboy comment). On a side note I'm so happy that I finally upgraded myself to G.O.D v2.0 and got rid of my format OCD. Now I'm genuinely stoked and happy for these tracks and don't have to stick to things that don't matter.

 

Can anyone upload the Girl/Boy dark version? I missed that one and god damn do I want to hear that...

Big thanks! Red calx and this were the ones that I didn't succeed to grab. Also thanks to Anchio Arch io Son Pittore for the complete list. Couldn't remember where to put this gem.

[Guest rostok]

He's actually made a body of quality work so large and varied that you could listen to it on repeat for years and still not get bored.

 

Astounding.

Oh right yeah. I forgot it was from them. Reddit is like a parallel dimension for me. I know it's there but that's about it.

This spreadsheet is beautiful. a column for bpm would be cool!
