Warp Records is an English record label that has been at the forefront of electronic music for 20 years. The label has been home to many of the greatest exponents of IDM (Intelligent Dance Music – an off-putting, but descriptive name for the genre) such as Aphex Twin, Squarepusher, Autechre, (Chris) Clark and Boards of [...]
im very indecisive. or am i? ....yes. yes i am. case in point, last christmas i got a 50 dollar gift card to borders, and it is still burning a hole through my wallet. i go in, find stuff i want, walk around with dvds and cds that i would like, ...and leave empty handed. borders is so freakin expensive and i just want to get my free moneys worth. here are the things i would like at the moment, ...
BBC’s 6 Music is reporting that Steve Beckett, founder of Aphex’s parent label Warp Records, has claimed that there is a new Aphex Twin album in the works; “We’re definitely going to be putting out a new album by him. Hopefully it will be this year, if I can prize it out of his hands. [...]
so ive been reading all these lovely posts on mog lately, and after finding out so much about you all, i just dont know how i could possibly follow any of you up. so many interesting people with interesting backgrounds under one roof, and then little ol me. well i guess its more about getting to know each other better. which is awesome, because its like taking the next step in this digi relatio...
I've been listening to Aphex Twin's lush ambient album, Selected Ambient Works 85-92 for about a decade now and I love every minute of it still. Very few albums produce hours of sonic landscapes with such consistent flow/movement without lulling the listener to sleep. It's a must have for anyone who enjoys "background music" to inspire a project or appreciates electronica's idea of classical ...
stop,turn around,what are you seeing ?a bunch of kids playing? RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!!, THEY ARE GOING TO BEAT THE Shhh! out of you (and they are pretty scaring too)in the videoclip world i saw some interesting collaboration between the musician and the director, but this is the best team i saw, the teaky sounds of aphex twin (Richard David James) ,and the bizarre/beautiful images of Chris Cunningh...
Aphex Twin has been one of my favorite artists for about the past two years, but when I finally saw that he was on the lineup for coachella, I was more pissed than anything else. My friend was able to go and see it, and I really wasn't jealous until I got the torrent of the whole set. It is easily one of the best live performances by an electronic musician that I have ever heard, and even in ...
i created a richard d. james mix-pulled from (roughly) 13 cd's-would work nicely as a 2 cd set.these are my favorite "non-threatening"songs. i like tons of his tunesthat are abrasive and chaotic- buti can play these and not receivedeath threats from mygirlfriend and neighbors.---FLIM is my all-time favorite.beautiful.
i listened to "i care because you do" (1995)and the "richard d. james album" (1996) today.i haven't heard those in a while.soft synth lines mixed with abrasivesquelch. add a dose of crystal methprocessing and signal mutilation.beautiful and alarming.
Hey everyone. It's a bit of a crazy week, being the last one of classes and all - but things should be back to normal by the weekend. I do have another column up on NYU Local , and this week I write about a very special someone: "The media frenzy surrounding Coachella dominated the top of this week, and for good reason. But amidst the photo-blogging and YouTubery, one individual stands ap...

Cutting to the chase, I'm running through all my "packed away" albums from A-Z. Trying to listen to the albums all the way through while both my wife and I were within ear's range is a challenge.Highlights47 total - again, not all my albums. Just the ones I hardly ever listen toTake Me Back to 1995 - Alice in Chains - Jar of FliesUnderappretiated A that I Now Have More Respect For (and now mor...
