it sounds like a drukqs outtake.. well-detailed and effortless-sounding, of a similar palette and feeling/flow
― braunld (Lowell N. Behold'n), Wednesday, 14 January 2015 03:24 (nine years ago) link
Guessing this will be an EP of 5 songs similar to Syro/Drukqs and a mess of doodles with perhaps a couple acoustic bits.
― octobeard, Wednesday, 14 January 2015 06:36 (nine years ago) link
it would be so interesting to see a poll of what everyone thinks the ratio of "farty" to "normal" will be, maybe with more discussion of "types" of "aphex" "songs"!!!!!

stop with all the these post African repetitions, look for changing tempos and changing rhythms, do not allow any repeat any rythm if it were not varied to some extent and did not have a direction in its sequence of variations

Holy crap. In a recent interview he talked about the success of the Caustic Window album and how he's got loads more on DATs and unreleased material of similar quality from that era and how he started cataloging them for a possible box set and then got bored and stopped.
I bet he probably got either one of his kids or someone at Warp to set this up and spit out these tracks over time, if it's indeed him. He and Rephlex vehemently denied The Tuss being him, so it's not unlike him to play the denial game in the past.

Old or new, lost or found, him or no, I really wish these do get compiled and formally released, since parceling them out online in this manner makes it even harder than usual to keep track of his stuff.

yup. i don't really have time to go through all this stuff. they'll prob get taken down in a week as well.

from the watmm thread, allegedly from an interview:
"I recently tried to craft an oldschool compilation.I literally have hundreds of tracks from around Selected Ambient Works 85-92. But after three hours I already gave up. I tried it a few more times, but I justcant get trough that pile of music. After three hours I dont even know why I'm doing this, it feels so pointless" Was this for your own pleasure or for a commercial release? "For an release. I'm thinking of releasing a boxset. But it feels a bit like you died, isn't it? That's what I told Warp. They said: you should put a gravestoneon it! But I have already done that.[on the cover of the Girl/Boy single you can find a graveston of his stillborn brother who would have been named Richard James].I'm not sure what to do with it. Rephlex stopped, so that's not really and option. I still have some other ideas though, maybe I'll release some stuff anonimously.That's always fun, to see what happens. I think I'll go that way."
― diamonddave85 (diamonddave85), Tuesday, 27 January 2015 14:56 (nine years ago) link
that being said i would still buy the shit out of a boxset
― diamonddave85 (diamonddave85), Tuesday, 27 January 2015 14:57 (nine years ago) link
new ep's dope.. also very well recorded/mastered, it boasts a large dynamic range that Syro lacks. it sounds massive on the stereo, though the sound palette is limited, and a few tracks are straight-up sketches.

At this stage I'm really not interested in a bunch of 20 year old tracks he's got knocking about. I'm not much interested in half-baked experiments or footwork tracks by his children or any of that. I just want a decent record.
