How many good albums do you think he has left in him? Looks like he's slowing down...

Well...from what i have read...he has had 200 plus trakcs per labum that hes put out.So if he wanted to...he could be on ofe the most prolific artists of our time.

Honestly...i think we may see some wierd stuff coming out from one of fis alter ego's...maybe.And we may see a few more solo albums.

I think he is prety close to conyent...but mybe if he gets enough money we will see some more long lost tracks.
Lets hope it id from the same time around when he was making SAW1...crossing my fingers!

its probabbly just going to be you and me filmore...if u havent noticed there has not been to many regular contributors to the elestronic section...ha.

Yeah, Richard D. James is supposedly planning on releasing a bunch of albums (mini-albums?) exclusively on vinyl, for obscene prices. He's apparently going to be billing them under a number of new psuedonyms in addition to the good old "Aphex Twin".

Yeah my buddy got 'analord' the first 2 installments in the series.They are the worst things i have heard from apex ever.

Sounds dated and boring.

But hey the hipsters must be willing to pay 40 bucks a pop or whatever gawdawfull price it is.

I have stopped trying to remember all the psudonymes that he uses...it is numbering like near 20 these days.

I actually thought analord 4 was quite good though. It was an uneven series, and I wouldn't have paid those weird prices, but there was cool stuff here and there.
As far as his albums go, I love the 2 ambient collections, and I Care Because You Do. I also thought drukqs was an intereresting trip, but I know a lot of people hated that one.
In terms of the question, I don't see why he can't go on making decent records for years. He's only in his mid-thirties or something...

you dont like the richard d james album??

i like the first slected ambient works, the second was so-so. i care because you do sounded way too soft for him.

as far as analord goes, it was ok, there where spits and spats of things i liked.i have a few pieces, the collector side of me may just pick up the whole lot before they are gone.

Yeah, I do like the Richard D. James album, didn't think of it I suppose.
It's weird, I heard the 2nd ambient works before the first, so it sort of holds a special place maybe for that reason. I'm not sure what to make of that Hangable Auto Bulb ep though from '95...
Why do you like the first ambient works and then say ICBYD is too soft. I think that's an interesting comment, and I'd love to hear why.
Anyway, I sent you a mail. Talk to you later...

not sure man, i think i like the first ambient disc because its more like techno ambient than the second.
i am not really an ambient fan...and the second was a hell of alot more beatless.

as far as i am concerned i could take a selction of his work, put it together in a mix and probabbly listen to it forever and not get tired of it.


hope u like the stuff i sent ya through email !!!

I'm looking forward to Analord being available cheap. That reissue of Hangable Autobulb wet my whistle for more Twin. I'd like to know when he's gonna try something like Drukqs again.

Yeah drukqs was great. I have yet to warm up to that reissued ep you mentioned - I'm digging all this dubstep stuff Imprezu21 sent me a link to...

your wish ??

I must say I got a little worried when that 26 remixes for cash come out. The album was way cool but with a title like that I was thinking maybe he's broke, out of inspiration, and doing a final fling sort of album, cleaning out some old tracks for some doe and going off to go and sell burgers at McDonalds for a change.

But seriously I agree, there's no reason why we won't see more stuff from Aphex, and while it isn't always gold.. you know it's going to be interesting.

I have just recently re-discovered my love for Richard D. James after seeing him at Coachella. Not only can he blow others away with his own music, but he DJ'ed the faces off of every other DJ/electronica act that weekend (yes, even Kraftwerk - though they were awesome).

If I were him, I wouldn't know where to go from here with my music. What is there left to do in the acid/IDM realm besides making more of the same style i.e. the Analord series?

One of the great things about electronic music is their are so many things left undone and so many new styles still popping up.
