V/VM Help Aphex Twins volumes 1 and 2 remain the best thing he's done since 1996.

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!

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.

seems likely, she's on Drukqs as well so
― i'm sorry for whatever (Noodle Vague), Friday, 29 July 2011 17:33 (twelve years ago) link
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.
― Aphex Twin … in my vagina? (Karen D. Tregaskin), Friday, 29 July 2011 17:37 (twelve years ago) link

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.

are you sure he was actually married?

anyway i'm glad you know this stuff because it saves me the ever-dispiriting biannual trawl thru aphex twin fansites in seach of granules of information
― MY WEEDS STRONG BLUD.mp3 (nakhchivan), Friday, 29 July 2011 20:27 (twelve years ago) link
He was definitely married. I even knew his wife's name, that's how uber-damn-sad-fan I am.

So, going on past results, someone needs to break in and steal copies (ropey ones, mind) of these 15 albums, then he might actually release them to his label or some such other.

I don't. He's been playing some amazing unreleased stuff at his recent gigs, and if that's any indication, it'll be wonderful.

So he's bringing that remote controlled orchestra of disco balls Reich thing to England. Finally.
I appear to have a ticket for it.
(Whether I actually go or not is another story. It wouldn't be the first time I bought a ticket to see him, then backed out, from job or fear or nerves or anxiety or just plain stupidity. I am telling myself he probably won't even be there. And it will be a seated gig therefore not too anxiety inducing.)
((I am super glad it is the Reich thing, and not the Penderecki thing.))
(((also.... EEEEEEEP! I have not been this squee-ish about a concert since I was a teenager.)))

Also, they have knocked down his house. It's so weird sitting on the Thameslink being able to stare down into what used to be his bank vault as the diggers fill it in. This makes me feel v v v crepey even if it's not my fault that Thameslink stops for 10 minutes just outside the Elephant every day.

I was watching "Heathers" for the first time in 20 years, and got this real sense of deja vu at parts of David Newman's score. Like, check this very SAWII-style clip, beginning around the :30 mark:

Sounds like a cross between Goon Gumpas and one of the ones on the last quarter of SAWII, yeah, but that might just be the pizzicato strings.
