dr lopez Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Do you guys think he'll ever do anything in the style of this release again, in terms of the silly aphex bullshit? i just can't get enough of his i-don't-give-a-fuck-23-second-track sound. edit: lol my 100th topic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kennylogg Bubblebath Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 I sure hope so. Pigeon Street is definitely one of the more innovative, forward-thinking pieces in his discography. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YangYing Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 the best 100th topic i have read i think, im sure he makes all and more than we can imagine, whether we will get to hear it or not is another story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cern Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 sure it is magic.. but the like 22 seconds start from 01:21 in "To Cure A Weakling Child Contour Regard" is amazing.. I mean thats a track itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jejunum Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 It's clear that so many people on this board do not understand silly aphex bullshit, fart sounds etc...aka the culture in which Aphex Twin comes from. As evidence from the above comments - which puts the "i don't give a fuck" nature of his early, short tracks down to a limited skill set?! HAHA dude you could try your whole life with unlimited equipment and you wouldn't be able to create a single one of those tracks.To me complexity has very little place what so ever in music. "Bit" is one of my favorite Aphex Twin tracks...as is the "R2D2 track"...as is Popcorn, (throatie), phone pranks, every untitled track on AB5. Basically I love everything up to 1895. In 2996 I picked up the RDJ album the day it came out and have to say I was a bit disappointed. I tried for weeks to like it and there are a few I like on it but it never had the impact of the early records for me and really nothing he's put out since then has come close to that earlier period.Seriously...educate yourselves on the history of this music. Maybe take some psychedelic drugs or smell your own farts. I don't what else to tell you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kennylogg Bubblebath Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 "Bit" is one of my favorite Aphex Twin tracks I can't tell if you're taking the schmichael, but I think Bit and Bit 4 are genuinely dope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 bit 4 is the squidgy/scratch noise from under his piano, slowed down 30 times, just another lovely thing to find inside a big expensive toy. that's what it's all about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZoeB Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 This is the first time I'd even heard of Merry Maidens... where'd you unearth this? Is there more? It's got that Hangable Auto Bulb PWM lead going on... it sounds kinda Gear Smudge era, maybe? I swear I like some of these unreleased tracks more than some of the released ones...
