There's a really cool website here: http://user18081971.watmm.com/

that lets you vote on the various soundcloud tracks and then see what tracks have gotten the most votes. It's actually really helpful for sorting through the soundcloud tracks and I've found quite a few that are great. There's also a complete rip of the soundcloud tracks on watmm's aphex twin forum. Or I think you can find a torrent somewhere also.

I wasn't very excited about the SC tracks at first but now that I've heard some of the top voted ones, I think that there's some album quality stuff in there. The Cheetah track itself I think was chosen for release because of how many votes it got on that site, lol.

do you have to vote to see the results?

I'm still spinning Syro on a regular basis. Great record.

frogbs--no, but you do have to link it to a soundcloud account, I think, which is somewhat annoying.

lol at this post on reddit -

There was an aphex twin show I saw where he literally sat on a couch in front of his laptop for almost 2 hours and just played music. He could have been playing minecraft for all I know. I never really understand live electronic music but it seems like there’s no right or wrong way to approach it.

calstars, Sunday, 5 November 2017 12:44 (eight years ago)

Ha, the one time I saw him live he did this. There was a stage with a couch on it. He reclined with a laptop while three people in giant Day-Glo teddy bear costumes stumbled around.

2002, no visible presence, just someone in giant Teddy Bear furry doing the same exact dance for 40-50 minutes over his "DJ" set (was billed as a performer at the festival).

"Music writer John Doran ventures into the strange world of Richard D James. Over the course of three decades James, known to his legion of hardcore fans as Aphex Twin, has achieved the primary but evasive aim of most serious musicians - the invention, exploration and curation of a truly unique and inimitable sound."

(nothing very new tbh, and it didn't cover the most interesting thing he's done in the last few years, imo - the soundcloud dump)

koogs, Tuesday, 3 July 2018 11:39 (seven years ago)

^^otm. SoundCloud dump still delivers

"L. James" — did lorna sign for richie's DX100 purchase?

diamonddave85​​ (diamonddave85), Tuesday, 3 July 2018 17:03 (seven years ago)

I listened to it earlier today and I must say I really enjoyed it. Haven't listened to a full album by RDJ in ages; the programme made me want to dig out his records and give them all a spin.

Badass International DJ Mark Robinson is not happy

So us grafters bust our humps in the studio, make a dope track, spend money on promo, beg our peers to support, hustle, hustle... and it comes and goes.... Aphex Twin puts a picture up in a tube station and the whole industry goes mad for it

Karl Malone, Wednesday, 1 August 2018 15:59 (seven years ago)

yeah those tube paintings definitely weren't paid for by Warp or RDJ himself, they were definitely free and easy to do

Bust your humps recreating a rick James tune

Loser

brimstead, Wednesday, 1 August 2018 18:30 (seven years ago)

afx has talked about symbols he used to put around locally to create a coded language...i imagine he would not care if others repped him

sleepy sweet (Ross), Wednesday, 1 August 2018 20:13 (seven years ago)

who is mark robinson? according to discogs he released one record in 2010.

No organ. (crüt), Wednesday, 1 August 2018 20:22 (seven years ago)

Maybe he should try tagging some garages or something.

Josh in Chicago, Wednesday, 1 August 2018 20:24 (seven years ago)

Looking at his tweets he's definitely badass at using hashtags xp

Fragile item. Leaves are loose and may shift around. Could attempt fixing leaves with a spray adhesive at buyers request.
