Favourite APHEX Remix...

A tough one as so many of these are some of his best work I
think...wish he still did em; it used to seem that every
other release would have AFX remix on it...but I guess he
doesn't need the dollar anymore....

Anyway, my faves would be....

#1... CURVE - Falling Free...
#2... 808 State - Flow Coma...
#3... JESUS JONES - Zeros & Ones (#1 & #2)...
#4... SEEFEEL - Time to Find Me (Fast Mix)..

(As with all fave lists this seems to vary from day to
day...)

How about you?...

Alberto...was listening to those St Etienne tracks on the
bus this morning...absolutly beautiful...

Thanks be to the tech gods for MP3CD players...I can more or
less carry the entire AFX back cat with me and listen to
anything whenever the fancy takes me...best thing I've
bought for ages...

how many GB's does your mp3player hold?

It's not a HD one...I'm waiting til they come down in price,
go up in storage (I want 20Gigs and that costs too much at
the mo...)...

On average I get about 150 tracks on a single CD...these are
R3MIX VBR encoded ones so are 100x better quality than
128Kb/s MP3s....obviously theres a trade off between quality
and size, I like to go the R3MIX route as to my ears it's
virtually the same as CD (which can't be said for most MP3s
out there)...

Not bad for £99...

Baby Ford is def one of the forgotten Heros of Acid...if you
ever get the chance to pick up any of his albums, do
so...I'll check my CD's later and see what the name of the
album I have is...

I was really thrilled when I heard AFX was remixing
Normal...it's def one of his best mixes (I love that
Telephone bit in the middle...with his answer phone
excuse..)

I've got the BFORD9 from Baby Ford which is a real classic.
Check out "Fetish"

I like the Remix he did for the "Fantastische Vier" - a
german HipHop band. It ends up in a totally wierd Drill 'n
Bass part.

Theres a disco for Peter Ford at http://music.hyperreal.org/library/discogs/baby_ford/ ...

I've got FordTrax (bought back in 88, so I'm feeling very
old today, to paraphrase Morrisey...)...and the Oochy Coochy
(FU Baby) CD single...

I just noticed that "Normal" isn't mentioned as a BF
release...theres obviously been some confusion here...think
it should have been Flowers (which is the track with that
Fl-Fl-Flowers sample in it...)...

...Yep..I was right about "Flowers"...

"Unreleased versions of old Baby Ford tracks from the BFORD
9 phase and before, released on Richard D. James' (Aphex
Twin) Rephlex label. The 'Helston Flora Remix' is an Aphex
Twin remix of 'Flowers' which had originally been released
on the 'Ford Trax' mini-album and 'Oochy Koochy' singles.
The remix also samples a phonecall from Peter. 'Is it
normal' is a new track recorded at Ifach Studio, while the
other 'mixes' have been recorded during the BFORD9 phase.
The 'Sashay Mix' is a version of 'Sashay round the fuzzbox'
but much more of a soulful song than the LP track, and the
'Blown Back Mix' is a mix of 'Blow Back'. The 'Changed
Version' is an unreleased version of 'Change'. Quite
confusing tracklisting, isn't it ? Also note that the
letters added to the catalogue numbers of the 4 different
formats form the word 'TRAX' :O) "

from http://music.hyperreal.org/bford/baby_ford/discog/bford15... ...

Mystery solved...

I would DEFINITELY have to say the Flow Coma remix. That
track is absolutely superb - so dirty and intricately
programmed. To me it really shows RDJ's skills in full
"flow" (if you'll pardon the pun).

Agreed, he does seem to devote a lot of time & effort when
reworking these old acid classics...theres a lot of love
involved...

Kinda lives up to the old Rephlex slogan..."Innovations in
the Dynamics of Acid"...

Curve definately - lovely remix. Thing is all his remixes
are fantastic.

I've always found RDJ does such a good job with remixes,
much better the Autechre who don't really seem to attempt
much during their remixing. Discuss.

While on this note i've been meaning to ask this......

Does anyone know if the Aphex remix of the Lemonheads which
RDJ did ever got released?

The story goes that when the courier turned up to collect
the DAT with it on he hadn't done it. SO he went back to
his room and taped the first thing he could find off and
gave it to him, so none of the original actually got used
(not strange in itself for him to do that).

Yeah, I always wondered what happened to that...

Google gives us this tidbit..."..."Style", off "Come on
Feel...", was remixed as "Rick James Style" by Richard D.
James, alias The Aphex Twin. " ...

Has anyone ever seen, heard this track?...didn't someone
mention that The Lemonheads were released a Greatest Hits &
there was gonna be a Rare BSide/Remixes CD with that
recently...my 16K of memory is fucked but I'm sure someone
said something along these lines...

Anyone?...

buying....altho it does look like we've found it...

Flagpole: But as far as songwriting strategy goes, do you
ever write songs with another artist in mind?

Dando: Not really, no. Um, the "Rick James Style," did you
hear that?

Flagpole: Sure.

Dando: Yeah, that was kind of written with him in mind
[laughs].

Flagpole: How did you and Rick James get together?

Dando: It was through the Robb brothers, the people who did
the last two records. They knew him, and he was in between
jail sentences.

mmm...I'm confused now...sounds like a different Rick
James...

Rick James was/is a Motown artist. MC Hammer's You Can't
Touch This was a sample of James' Superfreak.

He went to jail for sexually assaulting a woman with his
wife.

Money spent on Rick James wouldn't be wasted. Check his Mary
Jane on Rae and Christian's Another Late Night comp for
proof.

Doesn't look like it...probably just a bit of AFX disinfo as
always...

But was fun looking, I guess...and I will be hunting down a
MP3 just to check...you never know...
