What's the story behind Melodies from Mars?
― Ian Christe (Ian Christe), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 14:55 (nineteen years ago) link
Luke played me some of the hundreds of tracks earmarked for this Analord series and they are beautiful. More like SOSW* & CW**. But really good clear production. Lots of acid lines, but also a lot of melody & pads... Mostly analog(ue): 303, 606, 808, 909 and his collection of synths (a nice bit of chunky doepfer acid) but a few with breaks too.
* Surfing On Sine Waves** Caustic Window
Melodies From Mars is rumored to be a demo that he sent to video game companies for them to use in their games. in any case they're probably just outtakes from the RDJ album period since a longer version of Fingerbib is on it.

Aphex sucks. Their style is weak.

they broke up last year

Yo APHEX can I have your buchla modular?
why cause it looks intrsting
― Display Name, Thursday, 25 October 2007 16:31 (sixteen years ago) link
What really broke up Aphex Twin was the increasing tension within the group, which was kind of inevitable when you consider that Richard was devoting more and more time to card battle games, James' personality was being warped by his addiction to painkillers, and D's only true desire was to become a family man, now as much as ever. The Richard D. James album was really the last time they functioned as a cohesive group. On the bright side, I've heard Richard was working on a new solo project, and James, always a collaborator and producer above all, will surely find new talent to work with. There's also the possibility of a comeback album in the future, as long as one of the key members doesn't croak (fingers crossed!).
― Z S, Thursday, 25 October 2007 16:59 (sixteen years ago) link
they still suck though
― CaptainLorax, Thursday, 25 October 2007 17:15 (sixteen years ago) link
of course there are some song exceptions
― CaptainLorax, Thursday, 25 October 2007 17:18 (sixteen years ago) link
Wait, now I'm confused. Do they suck or not? Because I need to know.
― lukas, Thursday, 25 October 2007 17:25 (sixteen years ago) link
they suck with a few song exceptions

In retrospect it's clear that the title "Druckqs" was a not-so-veiled jab at RDJ's former bandmates.
― latebloomer, Thursday, 25 October 2007 17:47 (sixteen years ago) link
So they suck 100% of the time, except for when they were making those songs? Do they temporarily cease sucking if they perform those songs live? What if they mix two of their sucks together, and one sucks, and one doesn't? Do they suck 50% for the duration?
― lukas, Thursday, 25 October 2007 17:54 (sixteen years ago) link
Take my hand, Captain! Together we will arrive at the truth!
― lukas, Thursday, 25 October 2007 17:55 (sixteen years ago) link
Lukas, I think the crucial issues are which members of the Aphex Twin Band sucked the most, and who was carrying the band the majority of the time. To the first, I'd say D. definitely sucked the most. To the second, I'd actually argue that the rotating cast of studio drummers probably added an elegance to the band that could not have existed otherwise.
― Z S, Thursday, 25 October 2007 18:06 (sixteen years ago) link
Yeah. Shame what happened to most of those drummers.
― lukas, Thursday, 25 October 2007 18:11 (sixteen years ago) link
Yeah, their songs are the best part. Richard has a fantastic voice.
― Curt1s Stephens, Thursday, 25 October 2007 18:22 (sixteen years ago) link
The session drummers allegedly hated having to lay those drill n bass beats down, but they were pros and did the job as asked. R/D/J were real dictators in the studio. No one could satisfy them.

is that richard d james lookalike laetitia casta!!??
i think aphex definitely knows his craft, and i'll often do the laundry to his more relaxing stuff. anything too noisy ie. falling too deep into the realm of electronica noisy, i don't enjoy so much though
― Charlie Howard, Thursday, 13 March 2008 14:21 (sixteen years ago) link
fav recording by Rick James is a bootleg of him live@Liquid Room in Tokyo. and despite the soundquality, SanFran in 92.
Analords sounded like leftovers to me. Shouldn't he be working on a 'Gorillaz'-type side project by now?

Did RDJ just like retire and nobody noticed? Assuming both drukqs and Analord were leftovers of course. (sure sounded like leftovers to me. Wasn't the story that he found some songs laying around on his hard drive that he didn't give a shit about and just released them all as the drukqs album because he was desperate to get out of his contract with Warp?)
