damn this paul nagle song "the enchanted garden" sounds really close to whimsical mid-period aphex stuff like "cuckoo", "donkey rhubard", "fingerbib", etc, just without the beats (fast forward to around 5:10)

nice
yeah, definitely not too far off from a lot of that aphex influenced 95-05 stuff

Magnetic Fields by Jean-Michel Jarre
I doubt RDJ is much of a fan which makes this funnier tbh
― frogbs, Monday, 9 December 2019 04:55 (four years ago) link
Do you think it's intentional or just a random coincidence? Seems pretty coincidental to me, besides having a closeup of the artist's face on a white background (which is hardly uncommon), the covers aren't that similar: Jarre shows 1/2 of a face, Aphex has 3/4; Jarre is shot from a straight angle and shows only the face + a bit of neck, Aphex is shot from slightly above and shows some shoulder as well; Jarre includes the artist name and album title, Aphex doesn't.

I don't know if it's intentional or not though I'd imagine he definitely knows who JMJ is

for instrumental electronic music I think it's pretty uncommon! though obviously RDJ is pretty willing to do it

alright listen you little shits
Magnetic Fields
It's Les chants magnétiques, not Les champs magnétiques, except of course 'chants' and 'champs' are homophones in French.
I agree with the others that Afx's pose probably isn't a callback but I like the speculation.

WTF @ 2/3 of Smojphace (which I just listened to for the first time and which will probably be the last thing I ever hear now that my eardrums have been thoroughly scoured)
I don't 'do' memes but if I did this would be a great candidate for the 'Lou Reed: (records Metal Machine Music); RDJ: Hold my beer.' treatment.

since it's my thread, i am gonna vouch for Ovuca - Onclements, which is great and I've been listening to it all week (and it's on Rephlex so semi-on topic)

The domain's WhoIs details are weird (the registrant/tech contact is purported to be someone named Elizabeth Hanks in Clinton, NJ) -- but it's hosted out of the UK and doesn't appear to have changed hands recently.

I won’t attempt to parse the exact p.o.v. behind the cluster of URLs in the profile’s “Bio,” but there’s definitely a p.o.v. being expressed.

Pretty fun thread. It’s almost hard to believe now because mental drum programming is so synonymous with Aphex but the RDJ Album was really seen by many at the time as him embracing the drum n bass movement. To that point, drum programming had been a feature of his releases, but with RDJ—and esp. Come to Daddy—it became a focus and a signature of sorts. TBH, I’m not sure I’ve ever totally warmed to it but in some cases I dialed that’s intentional.
― Naive Teen Idol, Monday, 21 September 2020 04:27 (three years ago) link
Those albums are the most dated he’s released
― beard papa, Monday, 21 September 2020 07:11 (three years ago) link
still love his digital drill n bass stuff. a lot of the humour has aged badly, but I still get a lot of pleasure from the tracks
― Specific Ocean Blue (dog latin), Monday, 21 September 2020 07:54 (three years ago) link
I can’t hang with some of the cloying melodies on RDJ these days, still love 4 and yellow calx...if anything Druqks has grown in my estimation never a big come to daddy fan apart from IZ-US
― brimstead, Monday, 21 September 2020 15:13 (three years ago) link
and “arched maid via rdj” def a timeless aphex drill n bass tune
CTD EPs are very much my favourites in a career of highlights. Maybe not so much the title track, but everything else is lovely.
― Specific Ocean Blue (dog latin), Monday, 21 September 2020 15:14 (three years ago) link
Cloying Afx and creepy clown Afx (not mutually exclusive) are the facets of his music I like the least.
― pomenitul, Monday, 21 September 2020 15:15 (three years ago) link
once you take those out, there isn't much left though, is there? not sure about 'cloying' melodies though - any examples?

'Milkman' bridges the gap between the two and is thus doubly insufferable.
