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 :)

it's great you can stream more-or-less his whole back catalogue for free

i know don't sound excited about it but this is great news

just another (diamonddave85), Wednesday, 26 July 2017 16:41 (six years ago) link

Has anyone confirmed that the extra tracks are included with CD / vinyl orders from the webstore?

Noel Emits, Wednesday, 26 July 2017 16:51 (six years ago) link

As downloads, obviously. It's not clear as the listings for physical items just show the standard tracks.

Noel Emits, Wednesday, 26 July 2017 16:57 (six years ago) link

SAW 1.5 :O

clouds, Wednesday, 26 July 2017 22:35 (six years ago) link

whats the track they are talking about?

Heavy Doors (jed_), Wednesday, 26 July 2017 23:38 (six years ago) link

Guess I should start stocking up on the week's worth of hallucinogens I'm gonna need to burrow 1.5 as deep into my being as 85-92 and 2 are at this point.

Fetchboy, Wednesday, 26 July 2017 23:40 (six years ago) link

here's what was on his "saw 1.5" soundcloud playlist:

"Sams Carā€
ā€œAfx origThemeā€
ā€œRed Alertā€
ā€œSuzanneā€
ā€œDance and Playā€
ā€œNova Robotiksā€
ā€œ21 Forgotten Tā€
ā€œLannerlogā€
ā€œBimbongoā€
ā€œSymbonsadā€
ā€œOriginal Chaos Riffā€

awesome

This may interest some - 'Stone in focus' (original track #19) has just been added to the SAWII download:

w12 today, looked freshly posted

he's helpfully covered up one of the qr codes but the other works. points to a website that redirected me to Google site and some new app

koogs, Monday, 19 June 2023 08:02 (ten months ago) link

such a palaver getting a qr code from an image in a tweet

https://boxh0d2lu.xyz/p1-s and then about 1000 digits, probably more than the qr code could encode. that's giving me an https error in mac broswer

koogs, Monday, 19 June 2023 08:11 (ten months ago) link

I'm not about to install some app from a random qrcode pasted up on the street - here's the developer's website though: https://www.kalkul.com/

definitely feel whatever this dude is doing next is gonna be some AI thing

frogbs, Monday, 19 June 2023 12:42 (ten months ago) link

An app. Great.

^^ ok boomer

the late great, Monday, 19 June 2023 16:32 (ten months ago) link

it's Aphex Twin, not Radiohead

ftr i too am deeply underwhelmed

Bump this thread when/if the music becomes accessible without an online treasure hunt

The Triumphant Return of Bernard & Stubbs (Raymond Cummings), Tuesday, 20 June 2023 11:01 (ten months ago) link

Yeah I don't want to be a cynic, and I shouldn't slag it off before I've properly checked it out. But these kinds of interactive app-based guerilla marketing campaigns seem to appeal to a particular type of person.

The Biophilia app was a novelty. Much as I heart Boards of Canada, I wasn't going to go scavenger hunting around the world for clues about their new album - just give me the music please.

As for Aphex, a QR code for an app feels more like the work of a marketing agency who think they're smart than RDJ's style of merry pranksterism.

I guess it's much harder to do cool, fun sleight of hand in the internet era. We live in a post-mystique world where any sort of mystery about artists' identities and messages are impossible to obfuscate.

Do I look like I know what a jpeg is? (dog latin), Tuesday, 20 June 2023 11:15 (ten months ago) link

The plausible sounding summaries of all the shenanigans I've read (on reddit) reckon that most likely there will be a new song tomorrow, 21st June, and an EP next Wednesday, 28th June.

brain (krakow), Tuesday, 20 June 2023 12:02 (ten months ago) link

on my phone it's not even a full app, it's one of those applets that doesn't require installation

just a little augmented reality bit where it's doing a little animation of the aphex twin logo over the poster while playing a short clip of presumably new music

mh, Tuesday, 20 June 2023 15:27 (ten months ago) link

I donā€™t have any information (and I donā€™t want to ask because, unlike some of you jerks, I enjoy the theatrics) but Iā€™d bet thereā€™s something happening.

Allen (etaeoe), Tuesday, 20 June 2023 15:45 (ten months ago) link

I enjoy his theatrics because he oscillates between being self-obsessed and entirely detached. If this is a shady marketing stunt, I doubt heā€™d comment! Itā€™s win-win.

Allen (etaeoe), Tuesday, 20 June 2023 15:48 (ten months ago) link

The Biophilia app was a novelty.

Yeah. Itā€™s interesting if, and only if, the music is interesting. You canā€™t champion innovative graphic design without a desirable product.

Allen (etaeoe), Tuesday, 20 June 2023 15:52 (ten months ago) link

if the app's just a PWA then they can add things as they go

(the google page said '100 downloads' when i looked yesterday)

for those of us with images off...

^ new track taken from official soundcloud and uploaded to youtube

and this is video of the app for the curious, with a sample of the above

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E3wPfTXFrvk

(and fpsa's video was 90 minutes of live footage: "Aphex Twin at Best Kept Secret Festival 2023 in Netherlands")

koogs, Wednesday, 21 June 2023 10:49 (ten months ago) link

dog latinā€™s video has already been removed. Whatā€™s the official SoundCloud?

Bittern Storm Over My Hammy (morrisp), Wednesday, 21 June 2023 14:03 (ten months ago) link

it's not 'aphextwinofficial', last post 11 years ago

but that track is here

sounds nice, too bad all this nonsense with QR codes and apps is so alienating

whoops wrong link!

was sharing a link to Justin Strauss's appearances on the Lot when I noticed the official posting of this.

dan selzer, Wednesday, 21 June 2023 14:49 (ten months ago) link

into this track

agree about the qr code fatigue

just release a friggin' record for god's sake

Paul Ponzi, Wednesday, 21 June 2023 16:07 (ten months ago) link

yea it's pretty good, on par with the Collapse EP stuff, though a bit more toned down in a way that I think is nice

can't believe Syro was nearly a decade ago
