Richard D James SoundCloud - A Gift To The Fans

[atypic]

I know that track voting is the currently in vogue topic, but I've been thinking about my own management of all the SC tracks. As it grows, it's getting a little out of hand. I have been tracking them numbered by upload order, but I'm starting to question that. It seems that upload order doesn't mean that much to RDJ, and having 200+ sequenced tracks isn't ideal. I've started moving some to subfolders (the SAW 1.5 list, and my own made AB6 folder, Bradley Strider, and SAW 2.5 based on the ones he indicated or were obvious). For the SAW 1.5 folder though, I can either use his ordering or the order of upload, but it seems like his ordering of the playlist is better.

 

What do you guys think?

That seems to make sense to me.

 

I'm well behind with digesting all these tracks, not because I don't have the time but because it seem's like the unpenetrable river from The Heart of Darkness. I can't just listen to Aphex non-stop for days on end without a break.

 

It's called 'not being able to see the wood for the trees!'

Of the 229 tracks ...

Oh FFS - Thought I'd nabbed them all, I have 227. Do you have the unfaded '35 saw II un road shimmer' as one of them, god knows what the other might be ...

You probably need the girl/boy dark version and the faster version of red calx

18 elb2 <- almost overlooked its greatness, I think because its a bit quiet. Get that baby mastered.

SPOT.ON. *high fives*

Weird, was sure I'd grabbed them both ...

Yes, that's how I get to my 229. Anyone else got a split of their likes/not so sures?

Interesting that a lot of you guys omit the earlier stuff like Chink and Sam's Car. Perhaps it's because the slightly later stuff is just so accomplished. I agree that 5 is a virtually impossible number to get it down to. I think it means that the obviously brilliant stuff like Organ will get mentioned by everybody in lieu of the slightly more subtle tracks...

Some of the simpler tracks are still great but I wouldn't put them in my top 10. Except maybe Bimbongo, that song is the shit.

[gunnar]

Chink 101 and Sam's Car are top10, even top 5 for me.

 

I never see SomewhereOTTGTBAG mentioned. Would be great if it made it through :)

[Real Human Bean]

I just have them all in one folder and listen to them sometimes.

Works fine.

I have some definite faves, but I gotta go back through the older stuff and see if I forgot about anything.

 

Also, some love for Blue Carpet. Short, simple, gorgeous piece of music.

[vertsk8er419]

 

I just noticed ibiza spliff has same drums as orban eq off of drukqs. For all you asking for drukqs trax ;)

i love that track 2, i wonder when he made it, there seems to be some high frequenty fuck ups, it could use some rework

i'm a bit afraid that if afx really would rework tracks from soundclown with a poll, most people are gonna vote for the easy listening, melodic tracks and there won't be many weird oddball tracks on it but whatever he does, i'm down with it

all heil afx meng, the soundclown god

[HexagonSun]

Triple CD or it didnt happen

[xfxf]

yeah i'd totally buy a box set of the best of SC, even if that's like 6 CD's or 12 vinyls or whatever

[purplegoat]

blue carpet absolutely necessary
