@user18081971: Are there any plans to release MFM? You wrote a lot of fun, catchy tunes in those sessions that I still love to bits.

I predict the new version of Melodies From Mars is going to blow my mind into smithereens. Or perhaps vaporize it.

 

Either way I'm over the moon. Or perhaps over mars.

[delet...]

I don't know what you chaps are talking about with dynamics and subtly, sure I was listening on tv speakers, and I don't like to speculate anymore cause I never used to get burned, but have more recently (a jidomatix and a beatwife track, I was thinking that aphex would have moved his style on a bit so was willing to accept that they could be phex'ee. Incidently this backbeat bump is pretty well centre in the aphex funk style compared to those other tusstemps.) There is nothing actually wrong with the that track, in either mix or flow, it does get a bit samey, not enough variety for lil ole me. But if you're trying to posit next level mastery as a reason for charge separation, betwixt this track and the werk of the phex'ee, you'd be denying that he has put out stuff of many varying levels of production skill intensity.

 

uuuu sacrilege

Oh man

imminent.

 

wicked!

 

Insider bro strikes again! God this is amazing news, MfM was remade in 2007, right at the height of the Tuss. Release of the decade I'm calling it, I'm BEYOND excited! :)

 

Not sure if he finished it by then, didn't he say in the sc comments he had to finish it a few months ago and turn it in to Warp so that they could release it around January? Could be wrong, sourcing from a hangover filled memory cesspool.

 

 

Yeah, I'm aware of that, it's his comment on soundcloud that questions that statement. Not sure if I'm able to dig that comment back up though, now that most tracks are hidden.

 

Anyway, it's funny reading back that interview. If you look up the thread about that interview on here you'll just read scepticism, nobody thought it would ever happen :)

Yeah, I am aware of the comment, but IMO the phrase "get it together" means more compiling/mastering, rather than actually remaking/recomposing the tracks. Each to their own interpretation though, only thing that matters is that we are mere months away, super exciting. :)

[delet...]

I don't think that he would have rewritten it in a week, if that was the case, I don't know if I'd care for the result so much. Sure they were written in no time that's true, but you know what I mean. There'd be some extra thought put into a reworking, over and above the madness of just creative flowing that was the original sessions.

[CroydonCaptainJack]

Are any of these tracks back up different to the original ones?

[psn]

No.

[Theorem44]

The "Covert" video? No speculation required. Definitely Richard.

[Hail Sagan]

Speculation required. Pretty confident it isn't Richard.

 

 

Still damn good though.

[jejunum]

new track, ICBYD outtake! yay!

[Guest Londonskater]

This new ICBYD tune is wicked.

[psn]

Sweetness!

[triachus]

[chenGOD]

hot damn. its bonner time again.

[Hail Sagan]

:)

[Guest Londonskater]

Did the track change name? Not sure it had the [prev] part earlier?

[caze]

yeah it changed. prev was added later.

[Kavinsky]

 

Oh man
