Richard D James SoundCloud - A Gift To The Fans

[zlemflolia]

Maybe he is waiting for someone to put up the poll, before he uploads anything else? It has been a while since his last upload...

 

I think 100% he isn't

[Tatdylf]

Anyhow is there any code monkey here that could put an ongoing poll page together, maybe part of the watmm site to avoid abuse? It is the second time Richard has mentioned it, it's the least someone (else) could do

[Guest Atom Dowry Firth]

Just had a quick scroll down the tracks and it looks like he's been going through them making likes and plays visible? There's still the odd one that has the stats hidden but looks like xf's project could be a goer for the poll

Heres an idea...

 

I just made a poll with this free "easy poll" site.

I dont know how to enter all the tracks with out just copy/pasting each one in...one at a time...

http://www.easypolls.net/poll.html?p=5559065de4b042eef174ef93

 

dont really know where to go from here...

Ive made a throwaway email and account so i dont mind giving out login info.

Some detective work trying to track down this book:

 

http://uk.prweb.com/releases/2012/12/prweb10226269.htm

 

The links to The Skythian Society Press (http://www.wetheskythians.com/) are all dead. Apparently there was an ebook version of this book as well as hardback and paperback prints. There is a mobile number and a name mentioned on there in association with 'The Skythian Society Press'. Further googling led me to this which seems to be the parent company of the now defunct Skythian Society Press and it also has the same mobile number listed for contact as well as an address for a bookshop:

 

http://www.resonancebookworks.com/

 

Bookshop address in County Durham

I guess they'd have infos about tracking down a copy of the book and possibly have an ebook copy for download too maybe? The book doesn't seem to be listed on their website though. It's like all trace has been wiped off t'internet. *dramatic conspiracy music*

Mad to see Utopia, the 1st track, has 260k plays compared to most others 15-40k. Bloody tourists popping in for a gander and wandering back the way they came I suppose.

 

Also the fact the account has 66k followers but the majority of tracks have under 40k plays, meaning half of the followers either aren't listening to most of the tracks or are just getting the "all in one" zip files. Not really important I suppose, just an observation.

You're prbably right. As far as the poll is concerned I am in favour of doing it now, maybe per 100 tracks. This way in the bset of cases we might even get more than 1 release

I thought xf was aggregating all the soundcloud stats, I was thinking we start a poll with everything at zero and people put their top 20 or 30 or whatever and just plug new songs in as they are uploaded. I guess there is still a weighting issue, but less so than the soundcloud stats.

Sent him an email but it's going to go to his 'other' folder on FB because I'm not linked to him. See what happens I guess, lol. That's all I can do by the looks of it, can't even comment on his public posts

yo guys - am already working on this!

it's a custom built thing that pulls up to date track info from soundcloud as tracks are added, and will do more than allow for a simple once off vote.

oops sorry. that sounds great. cant wait to see it.

[Tatdylf]

oh shit, I just typed in all 200+ tracks into a poll

 

you already bought him the account, share the love ;)

[Tatdylf]

OK I posted a thread with the poll in it.

 

Don't hate me xf!

[Guest heath]

Has anyone thought of doing another kickstarter to pay for all these tracks (and any others yet to be uploaded) to be mastered and put out as a massive box?

[xfxf]

like I said in the other thread don't really see the harm in people voting in multiple polls? I'm creating a custom thing because I don't think a normal poll with 200 options is gonna work well

[Tatdylf]

No, sorry, I misunderstood and was a little impulsive. I thought you were just going to tally statistics from the Soundcloud data instead of offering choices. What you are doing sounds great, sure multiple polls are fine but ultimately we only need one, so thanks for putting it together!

[YELLOW]

I really don't see 200+ tracks being mastered and packaged anytime soon. Probably why RDJ himself corroborated the poll idea

[phudoshin]

Just a note on the playlists...I've burned them all to CD's for the car and now have 16 new fucking aphex twin albums and an ep!

 

What the fuck is going on!!!

 

WOOHOO!

[Aphex_Squarepusher_Twin]

oh... i'm dead...

Puts it into perspective a bit, with the rate they sometimes come it's easy to forget just how much of this there is now. Don't think anyone would have imagined this happening, it truly is an RDJ fans dream come true.

most aphex albums dont even eat up the whole cd running time. keeping it at 40-60 minute mark would be even MORE than 16 albums!!!!

[phudoshin]

So including Syro, CCAIpt2, MARCH EP, Caustic Window and Syrobonkers I have over 20 Aphex CD's in the car ......

 

Luckily I have a 3 hour commute each day for work so theres some chance i'll get to listen, absorb and enjoy it all.

 

christ on a bike!

[xfxf]

hullo keyfumbler, ltns!

 

christ, you still use CD's? ;)
