pretty funny it looks like that track that first surfaced FOUR years ago posted at the beginning of this thread will actually be on the album
It seems like RDJ couldn't care less about releasing stuff...he just loves creating music rather than the fame/money aspect of it

Anyone else tried to register for the ticket lottery?
It doesn't work for me.- did you get the invite?2002
- Invite? I filled out the form on the Warp website, but I can't submit it.grotesk_neue
- I see what you did there.

There are many fakes floating around...but according to some people, this track may be on the new album

can't wait to hear what he has conjured up. wonder if it will be accessible, or entirely nuts. Maybe somewhere in between.
- often a mix of both, all goodprophetone
- what is entirely nuts now is accessible in 5 years anyway, I say bring it RDJAFXWeyland

- B-side of Windowlicker and think I have listened to this amazing piece of music morefadein11
- This was always the best bit of Windowlickeranimatedgif

i hope it is listenable. anything i have heard from Aphex Twin recently has been irritating noise

Does anyone have Selected Ambient Works 2?
- i do... buy it... worth the casholaisakosmo
- same here, great chilloutcruddlebub

Aphex has always been a little too ADHD for me, as I prefer dissolve-a-Xanax-in-your-glass-o... stuff like Demdike Stare or Porter Ricks to short-attention-span-core stuff like Clark or Plaid, HOWEVER (and this is a big fat however) I absolutely love that this guy exists and does Exactly What the Fuck He Wants musically and gives fuck-all about commericial success. He's an antimatter-Katy Perry, so to speak, who has made a career of selling out to whomever and whatever. If they shook hands the universe would explode. Or, hopefully only she would explode.

I have all of them. Every record.

what is the deal with him always sitting while playing shows?! it's so wonderfully fucking odd. i saw him years back when come to daddy was just released. he had brought a couch on the stage where he just sat on/layed on the entire time. haha

Date: 02-07-05 03:14some people bought the analogue equipment when it was unfashionable and very cheap though.
some of us are over 30 you know!
anyone remember when 303`s were £50? and coke was 16p a tin? crisps 5palso you have overlooked A LOT of other points because its not all about the overall frequency response of the recording system its how the sound gets there in the first place.
here are some things which you can`t get from a plugin,they are often emulated but due to their hugely complex nature are always pretty crass aproximations..the sound of analogue equpiment including EQ, changes very noticably over even a few hours due to temperature changes within a circuit.
Anyone who has tried to make tracs on a few analogue synths and make them stay in tune can tell you this,you leave a trac running for a few hours come back and think Im sure I didnt fucking write that,I must be going mental!this affects all the components in a synth/EQ in an almost infinte amount of tiny ways.
and the amount differs from circuit to circuit depending on the design.the interaction of different channels and their respective signals with an analogue mixer are very complex,EQ,dynamics....
any fx, analogue or digital that are plugged into it all have their own special complex characteristics and all interact with each other differently and change depending on their routing.
Nobody that ive heard of has even begun to start emulating analogue mixer circuitry in software,just the aesthetics,it will come but im sure it will be a crap half hearted effort like most pretend synth plugins are.
they should be called PST synths, P for pretend not virtual.Every piece of outboard gear has its own sound ,reverbs,modulation effects etc
real room reverb, this in itself companies have spent decades trying to emulate and not even got close in my opinion, even the best attempts like Quantec and EMT only scratch the surface.analogue EQ is currently impossible in theory to be emulated digitally,quite intense maths shit involed in this if youre really that interested,you could look it up...good luck.
your soundcard will always make things sound like its come from THAT soundcard..they ALL impose their different sound characteristics onto whatever comes out of them they are far from being totally neutral devices.
all the components of a circuit like resistors and capacitors subtley differ from each other depending on their quality but even the most high quality milatary spec ones are never EXACTLY the same.
no two analogue synths can ever be built exactly the same,there are tiny human/automated errors in building the circuits,tweaking the trimpots for example which is usually done manually in a lot of analogue shit.
just compare the sound of 2 808 drum machines next to each other and you will see what I mean,you always thought an 808 was an 808 right?
same goes for 303`s they all sound subltey different,different voltage scaling of the oscillator is usually quite noticable.VST plugins are restricted by a finite number of calculations per second these factors are WAY beyond their CURRENT capability.
Then there is the question of the physicallity of the instrument this affects the way a human will emotionally interact with it and therfore affect what they will actually do with it! often overlooked from the maths heads,this is probably the biggest factor I think.
for example the smell of analogue stuff as well as the look of it puts you in a certain mental state which is very different from looking at a computer screen.then there is analogue tape...ah this really could go on forever....
im quite drunk cant be bothered to type anymore...
so yeah,whatever, you obviously dont have to have analogue equipment to make `good` music in case thats the impression im giving,EVERYTHING has its uses .And not all anlaogue equipment is expensive you can still get bargains like old high end military audio devices,tape machines fx etc just go for the unfashionable stuff.Richard.
