2918506, i'm pretty sure this is unprecedented
Posted by howardlloyd, Wed Jan-28-15 06:33 PM
i haven't followed since the 90s but i know he is an enigma (look at the sound cloud name)

has any artist done this?

has he lessened the value of future works by flooding the market?

is he putting this "old" stuff out to clear the way for new shit

iono...but a lot of this shit is pretty great

Im waiting for someone to collect all the Pokemon for me before I swoop in; apparently Soundcloud keeps on killing his accounts over and over.

Posted by initiationofplato, Wed Jan-28-15 08:49 PM
It sounds like glitch electronic music that borders on dubstep, what am I missing?

There are very few electronic producers in the world capable of the beauty Aphex is capable of. Lots of people have tried to imitate... very few have ever managed it.

One of my all time Aphex faves:

2918949, give 'With My Family' a listen
Posted by FrancisC, Sun Feb-01-15 04:02 AM
https://soundcloud.com/user48736353001/18-with-my-family

I'm still absorbing all of this, along with everyone else, but a good number of the tracks sound like they're from his Selected Ambient Works era. That track in particular is Xtal-ish - the track immediately after it in sequence, nocares (https://soundcloud.com/user48736353001/1-nocares) has a bit of that vibe too.

2918921, I tried to get into his music
Posted by Starks dunked on Bulls, Sat Jan-31-15 09:00 PM
Only track I like from him is:

2919350, He's still going!
Posted by Madvillain 626, Wed Feb-04-15 04:20 AM
Up to about 145 tracks at this point. Most of this stuff is from the 89-94 era.
2919420, I listened to all of it over the weekend in one sitting....
Posted by rorschach, Wed Feb-04-15 03:48 PM
I let it play while I was in the house....

I was so unproductive because I kept stopping to listen. This has to be one of the most epic drops ever.
2919441, 28 organ is really doing it for me

2920332, Got it! Why did Aphex Twin release all this for free?
Posted by Starks dunked on Bulls, Wed Feb-11-15 10:55 PM
Couldn't he have used these tracks for future albums?
2920334, because it's all old as shit throwaways.
Posted by imcvspl, Wed Feb-11-15 11:02 PM
think of it like tape shit.

he just released a new ep btw

2920371, From an interview:
Posted by BigReg, Thu Feb-12-15 12:46 PM
Apparat: Why did you only put out very few records in the last years?


Just because I don’t need to do it. I’ve been making music all the time, as much as possible, but releasing it gets harder and harder. Because I’m making so much music, everytime I go to compile it, I give up after a few hours, because it’s just so much stuff and then I get lost. But I’m now in this mode where I’m listening and compiling a lot. I think I will be putting out a lot of stuff, hopefully
