Kennylogg Bubblebath Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Hey guys, currently updating my iTunes with some Aphexian goodness, but wasn't quite sure on what the track titles should be for 26 Mixes for Cash. I've looked up a bunch of sources but getting different results each time, are any of these structures correct? Wikipedia: "Time To Find Me, AFX Fast Mix" Amazon: "Time To Find Me (AFX Fast Mix) - Seefeel" Warp/Discogs: "Seefeel - Time To Find Me (AFX Fast Mix)" Cover artwork: "Seefeel, Time To Find Me, AFX Fast Mix" Also, track 6 on disc 2. It's "Remix by AFX" pretty much everywhere, except Wikipedia, where it's "Flow Coma, Remix by AFX". Is there a 'right' way to label it? Appreciate anyone who can help me out. The Warp title structure looks like it should be the proper one, but I'd rather check with you folks. I know it doesn't really matter, but I have to get this dead right, being a complete OCD weirdo haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcbpete Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 It's whatever your personal naming conventions are. Personally I'd go - Seefeel - Time To Find Me (AFX Fast Mix) 808 State - Flow Coma (Remix by AFX) (I always do: Original artist - Track name (name of remix) ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herr Jan Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 "When in doubt, go with Discogs" - SchopenhauerAnd about the Flow Coma remix, it's a remix by AFX for 808 State's Flow Coma, so obviously it's 'Flow Coma [Remix by AFX]'. That's how the CD titled it when I ripped it years ago too. edit: what mcbpete said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kennylogg Bubblebath Posted November 12, 2014 Author Share Posted November 12, 2014 Ah, I guessed as much. Thanks for the help guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joyrex Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 I would say the actual album artwork would be the "official" source as far as naming conventions go... you could also look it up in musicbrainz and see what it's listed as: https://musicbrainz.org/release/f04c8939-bfa4-3024-92e2-b02f5443e7c9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kennylogg Bubblebath Posted November 12, 2014 Author Share Posted November 12, 2014 Yeah I usually go by the artwork, but it's a fucking nightmare when it comes to Aphex Twin albums haha. Syro is a good example. The artwork labels the track as 'minipops 67 (source field mix) 120.2' but the digital title is 'minipops 67 [120.2][source field mix]' Musicbrainz has pretty much the same track listing as Wikipedia. Think I'm just gonna roll with the Warp/Discogs convention though, purely because it looks the best. Obviously I'll be doing a mcbpete when it comes to Flow Coma though.

Boils down to who's inputting the data, designing the packaging, etc. I do know naming conventions are important to Richard - the CAT023 stuff I was told to specifically leave the track names exactly as I received them, despite my OCD tendencies to want to capitalize, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soloman Tump Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Been revisiting 26MFC this past week on the back of listening to feast/beast non stop. so much goodness in here. Autechre, pls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kennylogg Bubblebath Posted November 13, 2014 Author Share Posted November 13, 2014 Absolutely. Played it earlier for the first time in years, and there were points where I forgot I was listening to an Aphex Twin album/compilation. A lot of it sounds radically different in comparison to his usual material, but it's still really really good. The trip-hop sounding tracks remind me of something DJ Shadow or DJ Krush would put out, which definitely isn't a bad thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's how the CD titled it when I ripped it years ago too. edit: what mcbpete said. 26 remixes for cash scan - http://www.discogs.com/viewimages?release=127710 i think the flow coma remix is labelled simply as "Remix By AFX" because when it originally released on 2 Remixes by AFX the tracks were untitled. so it was keeping in line with that i guess?? so renaming the track to "Remix by AFX" would be the correct way? but doing it the incorrect way would probably make more sense and i doubt think anyone would really mind you know if you just renamed it to Flow Coma (Remix by AFX) or whatever. as for the Seefeel one. seefeel is just the name of the band. so go with whatever the rest of your tracklist looks like :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bitroast Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 if you look at the 26 remixes for cash packaging as well.. everything is formatted with comas and no brackets or anything. it's just how that tracklist is formatted and goes against alot of how the original tracks were written when they were originally released. so there's already inconsistencies.. it dont really matter :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aphex_Squarepusher_Twin Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 i don't care of "Remix by AFX" 'cause his real name of this track is "808 State - Flow Coma [Remix by AFX]"... i'll not break my head for crap like this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
