Richard D James SoundCloud - A Gift To The Fans

Jumping on the Cheetah hype train, stunning stuff, and undeniably Syro-esque. Really didn't think he'd just hand out tracks from this era so readily, his generosity knows no bounds.

That Vulture article was bad - but A.V. Club might have clinched the prize here

There are definitely a lot of tracks in the downloaded file that are also on the YouTube playlist, but since they’re both so long and so many of the songs have names like “prncDMC” or “1.5 Dp5 Beats,” it’s hard to tell if they’re exactly the same. Figuring that out sounds like a good job for someone with a ridiculous amount of time on their hands.

It's true, how can we tell if Asthma is actually just Ibiza Spliff? I mean, these crazy, crazy names, and so many tracks, it's not possible for a normal human, nevermind a Journalist who gets paid to write about this stuff.

Reasonably sure almost all the tracks so far have been pre HAB with the exception of 'cutting' and 'make a baby' being maybe proto RDJ and actual HAB outtakes respectively. So up until now that would mean we haven't had anything later than '96, which I think feels right. I can see CHEETAHT7 Teac as being from that period too, but Cheetah3 Teac has really thrown me. It's either a straight Syro outtake (which would be pretty mental), or it's a tune he made back in the actual 90s with gear he used to make Syro in the style of Syro 15-20 years before he made Syro. Which is even more mental by at least x10000.

I feel the same! I listened to one of the SC tracks, but couldn't be bothered with any of the others because they could be the same track with 213 different names. :cerious:

i was going to make the comment that not knowing that all of these tracks are unique and not duplicates is pretty terrible... but then i contextualised the reality of a generalist music journalist (with other interests) wading through 429 posts here and listening to all 213 tracks and... uh, we're all completely insane, aren't we?
