Ragnar Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 this thingy i will just express this as a series of imos: imo it wouldn't have worked on drukqs cause it's ener-g but it's too unfocused ener-g. Also it doesn't twist and turn like drukqs does, I feel like I'm playing an old-skool NES racing game where you're not actually turning and not even really moving forward in 3d space it's just an optical illluuusion imo it sounds like megaman and not to hate on megaman but usually the phex's music usually allows me to make more abstract/interesting comparisions/mental interpretations than 'feels like i'm playin megaman'. I have also made the argument that there is dance music that actually feels like THINGS and then there is dancemusic that just feels like I AM AT A CLUB imo I had a thought/mental audio image thing where the track worked just as well slowed down with the beat replaced by a pwsteal.ldpinch style beat. maybe I'd even prefer it anyway this thread is not so much to criticize people for liking the track, I like it too but just not THAT MUCH. Still should've been in the soundcloud collection though (or maybe I missed it?) But yeah it was more to express the feeling of me being ALL ALONE IN THE UNIVERSE in not liking the track that is all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugh Mughnus Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 My opinion though, is first that the reconstruction is admirable but comes nowhere close to the original. So do I like the reconstruction? No, I don't. The original is ace though (but I'm still pretty sure it's squarepusher not aphex). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ragnar Posted February 2, 2015 Author Share Posted February 2, 2015 Move to squarepusher subforum pls. oh shit if it is a squarepusher track then sry if not gud troll My opinion though, is first that the reconstruction is admirable but comes nowhere close to the original. So do I like the reconstruction? No, I don't. The original is ace though (but I'm still pretty sure it's squarepusher not aphex). link to original??? my impression was 'reconstruction' meant more like EQ shit or constructing it from multiple live recordings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ragnar Posted February 2, 2015 Author Share Posted February 2, 2015 oic definitely a /lot/ more focused also dat 303 rez those high notes at 1:47 or so also bring the idea together A LOT for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Mughnus Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Theres a way better recording, let me find it! check it out, the drum work and even the main synth (sounds like square wave, no?) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZdOQBq20UAI And you brought up a good point RE the "energy" of the track. I've yet to hear Aphex make a ravey track like this. Anyways during this whole soundcloud thing, someone asked Richard about this track and his answer really only opened up more speculation lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adieu Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 I'm hoping that Aphex or SP end this discussion soon. Rich pls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Mughnus Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 I'm hoping that Aphex or SP end this discussion soon. Rich pls. yeah for real. If it is rdj I'd love to hear a full album of rave inspired tracks like this tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ragnar Posted February 2, 2015 Author Share Posted February 2, 2015 so yeah i agree now that /reconstruction/ is crap but the original track isn't amazing how it's just 99% in the execution practically/fuk ppl who think electromusic doesn't require any skill with expression/not a medium of expression/etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hodorsbn Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Almost certainly a Squarepusher track, the 303 and the high pads really feel like him. Makes me think of a more focused Theme from Ernest Borgnine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herr Jan Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Well, that seems like a very different interpretation :) my interpretation was: yes it will be released, but no, not by me. Or it might be hinting a collaboration.To back up that interpretation (nothing new, but still): Squarepusher announced before his gig at Warp20 that he would be playing stuff from his own archives for the entire gig, and suddenly he plays this track and that other famous acid one (from 1h05m onwards in that set if anyone has it). Besides that, it sounds completely oldschool Squarepusher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herr Jan Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Then explain why Squarepusher announced it as his own archive stuff in 2009 during Warps 20th anniversary, and played that tune (with live bass noodling over it) shortly after he played another acidy track that sounds from the same era. Also I've never seen or hear Squarepusher play other peoples tracks before or since, especially not Aphex Twin tracks (and on the other hand: Aphex plays Squarepusher tracks in almost every set he does...)

calx Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Sounds like steinvord innit And yeah it's ace, would love to hear an LP/EP of tha kinda stuff... whoever it may be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoggy Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 I do prefer the original, because of the distorted harmonic-ish/organish chords later on and the more emphasis on the deep kick and ride and less on snare, also those trippy stabs in the middle The organ bit makes me think it could be squarepusher, plus how repetitive and 303 it is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petina Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 ah yeah here's squarepusher playing it in a show which was 100% his own material the 303 riff comes in at about 3:20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
