SAW 1 Question

Does anyone know which ones on it he did when he was 14?
It's hard to tell because they all follow the same quality
and sound, and normally one would have been able to detect
if it lacked a certain something that he may have learned
later on in his teens, but no they all sound just as good.
Also, does anyone notice the start of Tha, I think it is,
sounds a bit like the start of Vord Hosbn?

porky pies... lol

I haven't heard that since I was a little'n

I agree though Steve, the quality of each track is pretty
damn exceptional for someone of 14 years of age. I think
globalgoon may be onto something there.

Yeah, I mean I'm 15 and I've been doing songs officially
since I was 13, and you can tell like hell that their
different... they just sound naff, and have a certain
badness about them. Very noticable. It's just a natural
thing with any art, as you progress and get older, you get
better because you learn more about what your working with,
but the entire SAW sounds like it could have easily been
done in a year, not 7.

and he lies about his age too i bet! he looks closer to 40
than 29

the production on saw 1 is a bit shoddy, but all the nicer
because of that.

Yeah, it gives it a unique feel. I was thinking how
ingenious Xtol is for it's dirty sounding echo... if you
listen whilst your kinda in the song, it sounds perfectly
normal, and encapses you in its sound, but when you stand
back and image you've never heard it before, it sounds
really strange, like the biggest reverb ever and the
muckiest sounding, but it would just not be the same if it
ws a clean reverb. That's what makes it so perfect, little
things like that.

some ppl here that are writing music are young, but i think
we can safely say none of them are as talented as RDJ...so
in conclusion its very possible he wrote tracks that good
when he was young because he is clearly fucking talented!

Indeed! Music is his life so he could quit possible have
done so. Oh god, I have no idea anymore!

BTW, What DOES his logo mean?

It was designed by a t-shirt designer that did "Rave"
designs, he had a little company called prototype that made
t-shirts all with the similar flavour to the Aphex symbol.
I think it's supposed to be a futuristic A.

BUt he didnt work on the album for that long, he just did
certain works and when he was happy, threw together the most
ambient ones and called it the ambient works 1....... not an
album he really worked on to finish as an album in the
first place.

only richard really knows, but he is a big self promoter, so
its hard to believe anything he says really

and its a really good track too.

I think maybe he was young--the title only implies that he
did the tracks between 85 and 92. It's quite possible he
just made the machines or had a few ideas in 85.
Technically, that would make the title honest.

my guess is that tracks like green calx or hedphelym were
the ones he did when he was younger
ive always thought green calx had a real 80's electro
vibe...and hedphelym is a simple, weird hardcore track a kid
might make after going to a lot of raves and start making
his own music inspired by what he had heard

Yeah, even if two of the tracks or one were made then, it
would be true. And if he didnt record anything from 85 to
92, and did the rest in 92, it would be true, hence very
cheeky.

I agree, I bet it was Green Calx, and mabey a little of some
of the other tracks, like the opening synth in ageispolis,
which a 5-year old could play (not saying it isn't good, but
I figures out how to play it on my parents piano in a few
minutes).
