This is true, however
He has a good hang of melodies and personally i like the 90's sound a lot. I bet the 90's acid is gonna make a huge comeback in underground music in lets say 10-15 years. And then he'll be relevant once again.
He is gonna be fine, he is a little music autist after all, he'll figure it out.

It's made ten years later ffs do you REALLY think so?

>> No.49193419

>>49193353
That's true but with "Aphex Twin" every album has been sort of experimental and often boundary pushing, and his always diving deep into stuff like experimenting with ambience or experimenting with beats. I would expect him to do something a bit more out there than The Tuss/AFX esque acid if his using his main alias again

>> No.49193425

>>49193363
Depends what you class as challenging. I'd imagine with Analord he was working with a lot of limitations. He pulls off some technically quite impressive stuff considering it's all analogue gear.
Also I think some of the tracks have more depth than you give them credit for. Analord ranges from short sketches to pretty fleshed out (and lengthy) tracks.

>> No.49193476

>>49193419
Aphex Twin is definitely the outlet for his most experimental material. Although I wouldn't group The Tuss in with his regular acid stuff either. Rushup Edge had some pretty elaborate production.

AFX is proto and demo material he throws together before deciding whether to flesh it out as Aphex Twin or keep it as an AFX side-project. See how Analogue Bubblebath by AFX predates SAW 85-92 and Hangable Auto Bulb predates RDJ Album.

You're saying he is working with limitations. Please explain how that is not making your sound more basic in the long run? Also he used an 707 (i'm pretty sure about this, i own one myself) which is digital so it's not entirely analog but maybe hardware, idk.

I'd argue that working with limitations actually makes you think more creatively because you're forced to be inventive within the bounds you've set yourself. You end up doing stuff you wouldn't have thought of otherwise.
For the record I'm not arguing that Analord is anywhere near as flashy from a production perspective as, say, Drukqs but it isn't basic either. Tracks don't necessarily need a million hyper-edits and snare rushes in order to be well-composed.

Better than this in my opinion, "more quiet" sounds really stupid to me and I think Come to Daddy isn't a great representation of Richards sound as a whole so not a great place to start. For people new to experimental music SAW 85-92 is probably the best place to start it's the most accessible at most people will find it boring/tooslow, for people who can handle something challenging or want his crazy side Drukqs is the best place to start since it's sort of a showcase of everything he can do. Never got why people reccomend RDJ album as best starter it's his most whacky and "quirky" album and doesn't sound as modern as Drukqs

It's much easier to digest than Drukqs. 30 minute running time, and concise tracks with clear melodies. Closest thing he's got to a "pop" album really.

It was actually the one that took the longest to click with me minus "4" "Fingerbib" "Weakling Child" and "Girl/Boy Song".

I imagine "cornish acid" "peek" "carn marth" and "logon rock" being huge turn offs for people new to this kind of music. Plus the production on RDJ album is pretty harsh and weird, not bad but weird. Drukqs has even weirder tracks but a load of mindfuck beats that will appeal to people who like crazy music, still I think the first SAW album is the best place to start.

>> No.49196152

>>49195969
I guess stuff like Peek might be a bit harsh to newcomers but then so would 54 Cymru Beats.
SAW is definitely the safest starter though.

>> No.49196205

someone should make a list with Windowlicker as the starting point. it's his most accessible work, and whichever section of the song you like best can be the jumping off point for where you go next

intro: RDJ Album
midsection/croquette chien bit: SAW 85-92
headfuck ending bit: Drukqs, I Care Because You Do

and then on from there

>> No.49196252

It's also not a good representation of his sound with the tongue in cheek opening track which he has said like come to daddy is kind of satire almost and only 3 tracks on it.

Some people (such as myself) like to start with the "crazy" stuff first, what you want to hear should depend on your mood or even the time of day (I don't think many people would want to hear drukqs first thing in the morning on a work day), so there should be multiple starting points like other flowcharts.

I wonder if it'll be anything like his last music released under Aphex Twin alias (Fenix Funk 5 and XMD 5a), and possibly those tracks he only played live, or will it be something completely new. Back in the 90s he never got stuck on a certain "sound" and every album sounded different, plus he said that "new shit is imminent", so maybe it'll be something new. But he also said that he's going to release a lot of his old back catalogue on Warp. But then again he says a lot of things. Fuck.

He's probably assuming that since the last "offical" material released was The Tuss' stuff in '07. Plus he had so much material with the Analord series in '05 and '06, there's no way he had time to make anything other than that stuff.

I just noticed that Manchester is the same song featured on this video, curiously called XMAS_EVET10 (thanaton3 mix), the second track from the incoming album.

The description says "I've re-adjusted the original recording so it's more listenable. Could be released sometime in the future, he played this track out in 2007 and fans have named it "Manchester Track"".

So yes, finally we will hear this in HQ. Let's hope we have METZ as well.
