sounds a lot like remixes/alternate versions of stuff from Syro to me
― frogbs, Tuesday, 6 June 2017 15:47 (seven years ago) link
Some of the snippets from his Primavera set sound incredible. This YouTube bit is legit?
― tomorrow, Tuesday, 6 June 2017 17:44 (seven years ago) link
i'm not hearing anything from syro on this... what in particular are you referring to?
― just another (diamonddave85), Tuesday, 6 June 2017 18:18 (seven years ago) link
just tracking through it, I'll listen in full tonight - idk what it is exactly but it sounded a lot like that album to me
(for the record Syro is one of those albums I enjoy a lot but can never remember much about)
― frogbs, Tuesday, 6 June 2017 18:57 (seven years ago) link
Totally!

so there's something else, besides that field day record, that's being released on Warp in a month?

favorite discovery from the set is lorenzo senni at around 1:29

the Roy of the Ravers "Emotinium" track is a beaut.. almost too sweet, can't listen to it more than a few times. and the Fantastic Man track "Trance Sexual" (v lovely)

this sounded awesome, too
― braunld (Lowell N. Behold'n), Thursday, 8 June 2017 03:03 (seven years ago) link
on a quick listen im getting remix vibes from the new album as well (mostly the first half)
but will give it a proper listen because some tracks sound really good
also if you've seen him live, does wearing earplugs actually do anything to block off enough sound? not into going to shows a lot lately but i've never seen him live and would like to experience it but i have really sensitive ears due to slight hearing loss and i have like "borderline" tinnitus
― i n f i n i t y (β), Thursday, 8 June 2017 03:28 (seven years ago) link
while the sound palette is similar to some of the tracks on Syro, the tracks don't sound like remixes, like the material on the eps that accompanied Oversteps and Quaristice did, re: Autechre
― braunld (Lowell N. Behold'n), Thursday, 8 June 2017 04:39 (seven years ago) link
A couple of them sound like he just unboxed a new synth and is playing around
― Uhura Mazda (lukas), Thursday, 8 June 2017 19:06 (seven years ago) link
but you know he is programming with synths that are so rare he is one of maybe a dozen or fewer owners so...
this does kinda feel like outtakes but who cares?
― clouds, Friday, 9 June 2017 15:18 (seven years ago) link
he's not averse to using presets on popular synths either. I remember borrowing a friends DX-27 in college and hearing a patch that was an exact sound used on one of his record, Polygon Window maybe, I can't remember where.
― dan selzer, Friday, 9 June 2017 15:40 (seven years ago) link
haha I didn't say I disliked it!
― Uhura Mazda (lukas), Friday, 9 June 2017 16:30 (seven years ago) link
polygon window was in 1993, 24 years ago
― clouds, Friday, 9 June 2017 17:08 (seven years ago) link
If nothing else, this revive has reminded me of the majesty of "Warriors of Genghis Khan".
― Position Position, Friday, 9 June 2017 18:48 (seven years ago) link
DX 27 was already a cheap vintage synth when polygon window came out. And the point was that during a time he was claiming to build all his own synths out of tanks or whatever, that was a common preset.
― dan selzer, Friday, 9 June 2017 19:08 (seven years ago) link
it seems like in this day and age a lot of people could put something on youtube claiming it to be from many electronic bands (lost tracks) - who would really know
― Dean of the University (Latham Green), Friday, 9 June 2017 19:20 (seven years ago) link
Didn't Marumari do that years ago, putting his tracks on slsk as lost BoC tracks or something?
― Uhura Mazda (lukas), Sunday, 11 June 2017 04:13 (seven years ago) link
Finally listening to the Field Day set itself. Good stuff.

RICHARD D. JAMES: I really enjoyed working on this with you. I know I only joined the project near the end, but I found it really exciting. Like a proper job, ha.TATSUYA TAKAHASHI: Richard, it was amazing working with you on the monologue. And now to be interviewed by you?!? That's crazy. But also a lot of fun. The monologue was also the last Korg synth that I was involved with directly, so I guess it's a nice conclusion to things.RDJ: It is now the only synth on the market currently being made to have full microtuning editing, congratulations!TT: Thanks! But it was completely because of you that we included microtuning. If you hadn't insisted on it, I definitely wouldn't have discovered how powerful it was.RDJ & TT: *intense hugging for 10 minutes*

Haha yeah, but great geeky read. RDJ uses smiley's and 'LOLz'

i just finished it, and yes, so good! it was interesting to hear that RDJ is a synth demo nerd and collects them! would listen to RDJ's comp

New(?) website with new tunes for sale. https://aphextwin.warp.net/ (thanks keith)
i haven't looked too hard but it seems like he's tacking the soundcloud demos onto the relevant releases (they are available individually but sometimes it's cheaper to rebuy the entire thing, i think)
― koogs, Thursday, 20 July 2017 17:37 (six years ago) link
More importantly it looks like it will be a repository for the Rephlex catalogue.
― Noel Emits, Thursday, 20 July 2017 18:55 (six years ago) link
interesting.. wonder if they're doing reissues on CD with these "bonus tracks"
― brimstead, Thursday, 20 July 2017 23:32 (six years ago) link
I wonder if these versions of the soundcloud demos are properly mastered?
Also, this is written on the about page (https://aphextwin.warp.net/about):
If you buy a whole release, album, ep etc on this site then any tracks that are added to it after, you get for free :)
