New Aphex Twin Record

"So - worth checking out?"

I think so. Chosen Lords has a consistent and flowing sound across the collection and doesn't get broken up by out of place totally drilling tunes like Richard D. James and even I Care Because You Do. AFX uses some breaks and there is some really complex drum programming on this newer stuff, but it is more in vein of his earlier more ambient techno/acid sounding recordings.

I like it. Warm and fun.

it is more in vein of his earlier more ambient techno/acid sounding recordings.

Definitely. Sounds like he's integrating the successes of the Richard D. James-style stuff into the SAW stuff.

Aphex Twin Computer Controlled Acoustic Instruments pt2 EP Warp

http://consequenceofsound.net/2015/01/aphex-twin-announces-computer-controlled-acoustic-instruments-pt-2/

sounds interesting... will it really be computer controlled acoustic instruments? i feel a bit like this could go the way of that squarepusher project from about a year or two back though...

glad he's not resting on his laurels though. i'd be chuffed if he starts releasing stuff on a regular basis again.

he said in an interview that he'd been fiddling with computer-controlled acoustic stuff, yeah. every time i try to imagine it i get a hideous animatronic monkey beating a snare. dunno what to expect.

conlon nancarrow is my only reference point for computer controlled acoustics. sounds like a piano having a seizure

DJ Food - 90 minute mix of the Soundcloud tracks

anyone figured out what's on this new record? sold only at the fest http://pitchfork.com/news/70487-aphex-twin-sells-mysterious-new-record-in-houston/

he played a fair bit more than that over two hours.

watmm seems to think he played some unreleased afx stuff toward the end. maybe that's what's on the vinyl? missed that as i was soaked and freezing and huddling for warmth under a blanket by then.

dj set or not, first half of his set was tremendous, dramatic as hell even before the thunderstorm.

also i went for a bathroom break during which my friends ran into rdj and took their picture with him >.<

If anyone comes across a leak of the white album, please share with us philistines.

So then, since we're basically snowed in here - time for some top secret project revealing:

My oldest son, Kaito, and I will be opening a small new store here in Ypsilanti called "Technical Equipment Supply".
Clothing, decks (Palace), music - lots of 7" and cassette, but other vinyl as well - the majority is modern funk/boogie & Detroit-related hiphop.

And since we're doing all of that, why not use this opportunity to make a super-label featuring a bunch of my buddies? So, there is also a new label happening alongside the store - TECH.EQPT.SPLY.
1st release (TECH-002) Soundmurderer/Atlas 7"
2nd release (TECH-004) Aphex Twin 10"
3rd release (TECH-006) Madlib 7"
and more releases coming from Bogdan Raczynski, Flying Lotus, Wisp, Zinc, etc
Label releases are only sold in-store (no digital, no online) - 7" & 10".
A few other unique items in the pipeline but that's enough news for now.
Probably* open this Wednesday, Dec 14 onward. Probably* hours will be 2-8pm or 3-9pm, something like that.

Sad to not see a Ween cover on that set list. I'd love to hear Rdj do I'm Killing It (Kill Everything) or Stallion pt. 3

Ypsilanti Michigan?

Yes

Aphex Twin classic or Dud?

same source as the HD youtube above but includes some songs that had to be edited out to appease the youtube filters:

ha, love it

vordhosbn doesn't get enough love, that song is probably my #1 aphex twin song

nothing on drukqs seems to (outside of Avril 14th) - all those who dismissed it 15 years ago oughta take another listen today

Mt Saint Michel is epic brain burner material

I LOVE DRUKQS+

some live drum Flims btw

(bothered to memorize the original parts)

also this popped up in my recommendations, not sure that i'd seen it before:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rndV_5q8Tkc

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUtt9JZng-g

wow! i assumed it was just a single with a couple songs

Hooray

sounds a lot like remixes/alternate versions of stuff from Syro to me

Some of the snippets from his Primavera set sound incredible. This YouTube bit is legit?

i'm not hearing anything from syro on this... what in particular are you referring to?

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)

Totally!

re: syro and memory

holy cow

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3WlwS3CYtJE

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

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qeJUkf2cKs8

kind of ridiculous

Fuck off! sample from Bad News? Vim Fuego?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eWTBw_tLI7I

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

Oh what? I can't even work out what I'm buying

Yeah, I feel like for the full CD album price its a bit short. I was psyched to buy an Aphex Twin CD on release day though, haven't done that since.... Windowlicker? In all the complaints about the vinyl being the dominant physical format rn I have yet to hear anyone mention that both Come To Daddy and RDJ records are definitely truncated compared to the "accepted" CD/streaming versions (possibly a USA thing...)

Yeah it’s a real bummer since the vinyl often has more than enough room for them. Syro for instance is a 3xLP for an album that’s only an hour long and it doesn’t even include the bonus track. Ditto with the last 2 tracks on Collapse. I like this stuff but cmon I ain’t paying $29 for 14 minutes of music

Kind of ironic considering SAWII was truncated for CD

“Come to daddy” missing half of the songs (specially IZ-US which is my favorite song in there) is a bummer. RDJ vinyl album does seem to have the same 10 songs tho?

when rdj album was released in the us, sire added the girl/boy song bsides to the end, it’s supposed to end with logon rock witch

yeah that's understandable, those tracks always felt like B-sides to me. but yea Come to Daddy really works well in its 8-track version

having listened to the blackbox life recorder thing a couple of times now i find it very slight. the only but that jumped out at me was the little acid squelch sequence on the extra track

there's all sorts of extra stuff tracked onto the downloads on his store. come to daddy has 11 tracks, for instance. i think you can buy them individually but i don't really know where to start.
