Aphex Twin classic or Dud?

https://aphextwin.warp.net/

um!

classic

lol at this post on reddit -

There was an aphex twin show I saw where he literally sat on a couch in front of his laptop for almost 2 hours and just played music. He could have been playing minecraft for all I know. I never really understand live electronic music but it seems like there’s no right or wrong way to approach it.

Ha, the one time I saw him live he did this. There was a stage with a couch on it. He reclined with a laptop while three people in giant Day-Glo teddy bear costumes stumbled around.

2002, no visible presence, just someone in giant Teddy Bear furry doing the same exact dance for 40-50 minutes over his "DJ" set (was billed as a performer at the festival).

"Music writer John Doran ventures into the strange world of Richard D James. Over the course of three decades James, known to his legion of hardcore fans as Aphex Twin, has achieved the primary but evasive aim of most serious musicians - the invention, exploration and curation of a truly unique and inimitable sound."

Radio 4 just now...

(nothing very new tbh, and it didn't cover the most interesting thing he's done in the last few years, imo - the soundcloud dump)

^^otm. SoundCloud dump still delivers

"L. James" — did lorna sign for richie's DX100 purchase?

I listened to it earlier today and I must say I really enjoyed it. Haven't listened to a full album by RDJ in ages; the programme made me want to dig out his records and give them all a spin.

looks analog

Badass International DJ Mark Robinson is not happy

So us grafters bust our humps in the studio, make a dope track, spend money on promo, beg our peers to support, hustle, hustle... and it comes and goes.... Aphex Twin puts a picture up in a tube station and the whole industry goes mad for it

first response HOF on that tweet

bad aphex no spend money on promo no beg peers to support

hey afx do u do promo 4 promo, hmu

yeah those tube paintings definitely weren't paid for by Warp or RDJ himself, they were definitely free and easy to do

Bust your humps recreating a rick James tune

Loser

afx has talked about symbols he used to put around locally to create a coded language...i imagine he would not care if others repped him

who is mark robinson? according to discogs he released one record in 2010.

Maybe he should try tagging some garages or something.

Looking at his tweets he's definitely badass at using hashtags xp

Warp's marketing campaign goes to the next level...

Fragile item. Leaves are loose and may shift around. Could attempt fixing leaves with a spray adhesive at buyers request.

love it

new track and it's great:

ooh blocked

yeah gone now. A leak of some sort I guess.

official vid here, just came through in a warp email

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SqayDnQ2wmw

did it come with an epilepsy warning?

nice though. it's like 1000 videos in one. like a demoscene demo but with better music.

Whoa that’s so cool!

Great track too

amazing video, think it comes with an epilepsy warning yeh

reminds me of the vid to holly herndon "chorus"

(they nixed the planned adult swim showing in amaerica today because it failed the epilepsy test)

well I'm gonna go puke now

it's like an update of the Gantz Graf video

Page for the "Special" version, good luck loading it!

haha wow you weren't kidding!

it's like an update of the Gantz Graf video

yea this was my first thought as well, the way every single movement in the music is reflected in the video is insane. if I watched this in VR I'd probably have a stroke

this track is great but also very much more of the same

especially love the first minute or so of the video, with all the descending text. although i ended up pausing the video about a dozen times to read certain frames!

at the same time...

this track is great but also very much more of the same

― the masseduction of lauryn hill (Stevie D(eux)),

on first listen, i kind of agree. it would fit in on any number of his earlier releases, seamlessly. but that's not really a criticism in itself - if anything it kind of speaks to the mindblowing futurism of his 90s music. and if he released selected ambient works vol 3, and it sounded just like 2 (or 1) i would be absolutely thrilled. i think the bigger problem (personally speaking) is i'm not sure what place this kind of frenetic music has in my life anymore, to be honest. it's not you, rdj, it's me.

i still go back to polynomial c - ON - Xtal and the ambient ones more than any of his newer music

it is nice he still puts out music but yeah cannot say i have been crazy about anything since DRUKQS

Predictably, Bleep's servers are pretty much melting right now

Was their new aphex music on KUSO flying lotus soundtrack

this track is great but also very much more of the same

Yep.

I had no trouble loading https://bleep.com/release/106868-aphex-twin-collapse-ep, here have your trackers back Mark

I'm either getting 0 copies of the vinyl or 20

Finally got through here as well. I felt a little silly; the regular black vinyl pressing is fine, but...not shiney ;_;
