James is known for his prodigious work rate which, when coupled with an ambivalent attitude towards actually releasing music (2001 album Drukqs was apparently only released because he left a minidisc player containing most of the tracks on a plane), means that he has hundreds, possibly thousands, of unreleased songs sitting around in the vault. The biggest tease for his fans, though, is the promise of his unreleased material. A (shall we say) liberated approach to the truth in interviews, combined with a mischievous sense of humor means that rumours abound about the 43-year-old producer and have done so since he arrived in the public consciousness in 1991 with the Analogue Bubblebath EP.ĭoes he drive a tank? Does he write his music by lucid dreaming? And did he really remix a Craig David song “just to annoy him?” We’ll probably never know. James, is nothing if not a mystery to his fans. It's interesting, and a bit mysterious, and a lot of the material is available for download, so have at it.The Aphex Twin, aka Richard D.
This Aphex Twin SoundCloud page is also hosting some Aphex Twin material, including an early mixes and alternate takes of "fenix funk" and "Avril 14th," among recordings of phone calls and radio shows referencing Aphex or Richard D James. I love music by people who dont know wtf they are doing…its the best…why i liked certain periods of jungle so much before they learned how to use machines properly.ĭoesn’t mean I can’t enjoy music made by wise people but I think your more likely to learn something ’new’ by someone who doesnt know anything as opposed to someone who has been doing it their whole life. He is so advanced mainly because he is trying to keep up with his 8yr old bro who is also going way deep into computers already, dunno where they get it from, its really exciting to see them start so young. The tracks range from 20 seconds to two minutes have a listen:Īphex also had some words to say about his son's music: With Aphex, it can be hard to tell if he's being on the level or not, but the emergence of this SoundCloud page, containing four tracks that are said to have been produced by "afx's son" has us wondering where all of this is heading. leave it up to a new interview with Aphex Twin on noyzelab and this random SoundCloud account to further confuse and delight long-time AFX fans.īack in September, Aphex Twin told Rolling Stone about music that one of his sons has been making.
After the Aphex Swift mash-up project, I was sure that all things Aphex would die down for a bit.
