Richard's 60s sets were fucking awesome tho. You haven't lived until you've heard the 35 minute Hammond version of "Blue Calx".

Nerd bonerz question re 'Selected Ambient Works 85-92': is there anywhere one can find out when the specific tracks were written? I have half a feeling the answer is "the fucking sleeve", which I don't have to hand, and another half a feeling that Aphex has always made a big effort not to say

my foot hurts, so i don't feel like getting up to get my cd. but there is no booklet in my copy. just a piece of paper with the cover on one side and blank on the other. did earlier pressings come with liner notes or something?
― Creeztophair, Tuesday, 1 April 2008 21:59 (sixteen years ago) link
haha! thank you. i needed that laugh this afternoon!
also, i like ludo's answer to the question he poses. is aphex twin classic or dud? no, i don't think so.
― andrew m., Tuesday, 1 April 2008 22:08 (sixteen years ago) link
There's no mention of recording dates or anything like that. Actually, it's hard to even figure out the track titles by the packaging alone.
― Z S, Tuesday, 1 April 2008 22:08 (sixteen years ago) link
really?
i can see the track names fine on mine. i have the pias reissue. the back has the aphex logo rearranged to look like a smiling face, with the track names in a bold grey font.

I was so underwhelmed by chosen lords, I have no idea why it was so received so well, and so unanimously so. Although I might very well be more into it today, in all fairness.

Totally off topic, but has anyone else had the misfortune to stand next to a very odorous Luke Vibert? Dude smells so bad. I wonder if Mr. Twin smells as bad as Vibert. Now That's What I Call Funky!

Still think On EP is highlight of career. Warp version, of course.

i smoked a joint with vibert once but did not smell any foul odour
― sir ilx-a-lot (cutty), Tuesday, 12 January 2010 18:19 (fourteen years ago) link
I love Vibert and have been called a dirty hippy myself many times before. My observation is in no way meant to diss Vibert. He's awesome. I still covet the early bits and pieces of his catalogue and have paid to see him live multiple times since the body odor incident.

love the GAK, and that one may be my favorite

seems likely, she's on Drukqs as well so

aphex twin classics or drukqs?
― MY WEEDS STRONG BLUD.mp3 (nakhchivan), Friday, 29 July 2011 17:35 (twelve years ago) link
Thing is, her accent on Drukqs sounds so different from the person speaking on the Mummy Mix (esp with the pitch shifting and all) sounds so different that I didn't recognise her.

has anything happened since one of the warp ppl said a new aphex twin album is in the works (last yr iirc?)
― MY WEEDS STRONG BLUD.mp3 (nakhchivan), Friday, 29 July 2011 17:39 (twelve years ago) link
Not really, no. Vibert claimed to have heard some of the new tracks for the album, so there is ~something~ but who knows when anyone will pry it out of Richard's little mitts.
I'm going to squee about how cute and gentle and ever so slightly Cornish accented his voice sounds here, because if I'm going to be thrown off WATMM if I do any more fangirling.
Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!
I always knew he did 95% of his own singing, as well. like, people are always "who's the girl singing on some of the tracks on SAW85?" and it's just so patently obviously him, when you hear his speaking voice. So I'm glad that he says it's almost always him.
― Aphex Twin … in my vagina? (Karen D. Tregaskin), Friday, 29 July 2011 17:42 (twelve years ago) link
He was supposed to have a "tsunami"* of releases ready to go last year.
*Trying to remember if this was the phrase used, might have been something else.
― djh, Friday, 29 July 2011 19:40 (twelve years ago) link
Well, first it was that one album for Warp. Then in the Another Man interview, he said he had six albums, all ready to go. And then in an interview with a Spanish broadsheet, he started talking about how he had FIFTEEN albums, and it just started to sound like typical RDJ exaggeration and lies, you know? Especially since his excuse for why he hadn't released any of the albums was all "I waited to get divorced" so his family didn't get any of the money, followed by "my ex wife is robbing me" and other assorted "the divorce ate my homework" bullshit excuses which actually started to sound kinda pathetic but if I start to think too much about how shitty it is to talk that way about yr ex wife when you have kids, I'm going to start to feel distinctly un-squee and quite cross about him, which I really don't want to feel.
