Aphex Twin is also notorious for being a lying ginger.

What do you mean?
"I'm just some irritating, lying, ginger kid from Cornwall who should have been locked up in some youth detention centre. I just managed to escape and blag it into music."

It's just playground picking on people, not a real prejudice. Gingers quite often, nowadays, pick up on it and joke about themselves.
of course, if they don't like it they shouldn't have to put up with it.

Why don't you like mash potatoes?

quality > quantity

Yea, "non-commercial, abstract, field recordings" is just a euphemism for crap. That said, I'm a big fan and "Chosen Lords" from 2006 was a great release. "PWSteal.Ldpinch.D" is fantastic.
-4
Actually I found Chosen Lords really disappointing compared to full Analord series. It's like they missed the best little hidden gems

What are your favorite tracks from the Analords?
1
Analord 02 is my favorite; the beats are swampy and dreamy.

I can't remember... There are so many songs, some are amazing, some... not so.

ooooh yeah

I'm pretty sure it's code for experimental, which itself is usually code for crap. Let's hope it's not, though. If he's using actual synths maybe straying a bit from his usual erratic drum sound I'd be very interested
edit: I wasn't implying that his music with crazy drums was crap, I was saying I'd be interested in seeing a slight departure from it to see what else he was capable of as an artist because I like his other work
-8
I like it when he makes pretty music.
3
Also, I'd like to hear something from Boards of Canada...
14
Ditto, there was talk of Warp putting out a boxset of their older unreleased stuff that got me very excited but I haven't heard anything else about it
I've also heard BoC's next album will be more electronic again after all the guitars of Campfire Headphase
2
I liked the direction Trans Highway took.
5
Me too, Left Side Drive is a classic
3
I've wanted to for so long, thT I've given up hope of hearing anything new from them. I think it would be epic if they've been making music this whole time without releasing an album. A pinnacle of sweat built up from years of aiming for perfection. I dream too far with this idea though since it will probably never happen. So sad...
1
I want this to be released.
11
Agreed. that's a great tune, and i would kill for a high quality album cut.

Just heard Aphex Twin on KEXP's Halloween edition morning show, 9:30 AM Aphex Twin, Day became awesome.
5
I think he has claimed to have around a thousand unreleased songs at some point. It's just a matter of how you define a song or an album, nothing to be too excited about in his case.
5
In the full interview he says he never really stops creating music because his mind would become to destructive? in that case, he must indeed have thousands of songs no one has ever heard.
1
I remember reading about how he'd lost a HDD mp3 player full of unreleased tracks on an airplane. I guess it made it to the trash or was deleted by someone who didn't know what they found.

Best music news in years. Thanks for posting.
3
I love Aphex Twin but he hasn't put out an album for like what, 10 years? Cool that he has the material out there but I'll actually be interested when somethings actually going to be released.
3
Come to daddy!

Man I can still remember the first time I saw the video for windowlicker late night on muchmusic...what was that show called, "the edge"?

I don't believe him.
He always has shit loads of songs around, but he is also a sarcastic bastard!
Just be patient, and listen to The Tuss in the mean time.
3
He makes assloads of music. It's essentially a constant process for him.
3
The Tuss is listed in a 15 gb lossless RDJ torrent that's out there.
2
I have both of the albums, both were found in their own torrents. If you want, I can put them on bacon bits?
I bought one of them on vinyl too, actually!
1
Not sure if you know this but many people believe The Tuss IS Aphex Twin. I mean all tuss tracks are published under the name James Richard David for one, and if it's not him damn it sure sounds like him.
0
I think they are the same man.
1
i think hes still waiting for chris cunningham to finish the first video from the first album.
genius director but good lord does he work slow.
2
upvoted for mention of Chris Cunningham. that mans work is forever etched in my brain.

1000% agreement; Melodies From Mars is a beautiful and at times really weird album. He orignally gave it away on some party to like 6 people or something. An official release of it would be 2010's best news, ever.
2
It really stands out in his current discography doesn't it? I love the feel good vibes from track 7, I originally heard the album from David Firths movie ALAN, in fact David introduced me to Aphex Twin in the first place.
What's your favourite track off that record?
1
I can't choose between Track 2 (which is also Fingerbib on Richard D. James Album), Track 6 and Track 9.
1
Fair enough, out of those I would chose 2. Such a chill vibe thats hard to find.

Hell yeah!

"I've got six completed. Two are very non-commercial, abstract, modular-synthesis, field recordings-- those I finished four years ago. Another one is Melodies From Mars, which I redid about three years ago. There's one of stuff I won't go into, a comp of old tracks which is never really finished and always changing, and then one I'm working on now. There are also loads of tracks which don't belong anywhere."
Doesn't really sound like 6 releasable albums to me. More like fun side projects
1
I, for one, would be very happy -- not to say ecstatic -- to hear an officially released and reworked version of Melodies From Mars; that album is pure crazy-gold already.
0
I bet he's going to release them all at once. On one disc. All playing on top of each other.
On a obscure format like SACD
Or CD.
Tape.
Now you're just listing formats...
DVDA
Impossible. Can't be done.
Nothing is impossible.
Minidisc.
Watching one of his videos is like watching a Jib-Jab thing where you can paste your head onto the dancing bodies...
...maybe that's where Jib-Jab got the idea?
Yea, each album is 3 to 5 minutes long, too...
Hexaphonic recording.
And if you modify the wave-form with a deeply hidden pattern on the albums, it will show a map that points to a cave where the cure to cancer and AIDS is hidden.
