i listened to a live youtube version multiple times a day for years on end before it came out |

yes, it was the infamous "metz" track, wasn't it? or so it was called on watmm. people flipping a bum for years over a youtube video with people yelling over half the track. still, people were not deterred and kept pounding on it. some enterprising chap even sat there and re-recorded it. i remember hearing synthacon 9 in the "snowbombing" set and saying "this sounds like unreleased aphex" and then the left channel cuts out and it's like the mix saying, "why yes sir, it is! at any other moment, this would be a soundbard malfunction, but right here, i'm clearly being a huge ginger richard" watmm dutifully remastered the missing left half and it was like james had cured cancer when he put out rushup edge. i half wonder if it's self-fufilling prophey of sorts. aphex is genius omg. all aphex is hunted down. any whiff of new aphex is remastered, reconstructed, regurgitated, and reviewed and re-viewed and re-viewed. by the time it goes to the vinyl factory, people have heard it 917 times and it is a part of their soul already and there's no way the vinyl won't sell out any pointers on how to swing that myself? thanks, every musician on the internet |

i always wondered this nice people able to recognize some sound is an unrealeased something at an aphex twin gig. never been into the following trends once. |

that set is a perfect example, really. when he did the soundcloud dump i realized a lot of other things in there were also unreleased aphex -- 180db segues into GPO beat etc -- and i missed all of those. all of 'em, absolutely all of 'em. so, yes, i was sure about synthacon 9, but i missed god knows how many others. that should put this mystical ability nicely into people perspective |

180db i strongly suspected, but he didn't cut out half the mix like he did synthacon 9. it's funny, but there is a distant dialogue of sorts going on between RDJ's playlists and the listeners. presuming that channel drop-out wasn't just a spooky convenient accident, it comes across a little cheeky wink from across the pond: yes, this is new aphex. you heard correctly. this glitch is confirmation i could just as easily have it backwards: the channel drop-out was serendipity. unplanned, accidental, just life... but people like me perceived it as deliberate. james logs onto the interweb to find a bunch of people carefully extracting the broken fragments of synthacon 9 from his set and says to himself, "i guess this should be track one on the next record i put out" also possible: he's completely unaware of the channel glitch, the fans, or even his face, so blazed every day. what tracks did i put on rushup edge again? oh yeah |

i wouldn't be suprised if that channel drop out was not purposeful, he's quite a serendipitous person new track on that day for night recording |

i'd just never noticed the (possibly serendipitous) parallel between synthacon 9 (snowbombing set -> first track on rushup) and monopips 67 (metz fetztibal set -> first track on syroblappist). i've also come up with a fourth scenario to add to my above three [deliberate channel dropout, deliberate reaction to accidental channel dropout, complete serendipitous chain of accidenti] -- james creates a virtual computer console in a lucid dream. he logs in and queries, "what tracks should be on rushup edge?" and then it promptly spits it out the proper tracks in the proper order.... or, well, good enough. i've had dreams hand things to me like that after i've stewed on them all day. should it actually make it to a dream with an answer, the answer is generally spot-on this was all a very long set-up for a terrible punchline. so long, in fact, that i forgot the punchline. it probably squarepusher or something... i give up. i guess what i'm trying to say is picking the tracks/order for an album is something that's very easy to get superstitious about. the ancient chinese chaps would carefully inscribe characters into animal bones and then pour molten brass into the marrow hole. the bones would explode and wise men would argue fiercely about how to interpret the meaning of the way the bone fragmented... and, what gets me is this: the arguments about the meaning informed the characters they carved in next round. over enough iterations, a feedback loop grew, and i'm sure they eventually had a spooky-good divination success rate. is that deliberate? kind of. is it rational? partially. parsely |

fukin o! fuckin o! is that like "fuckin a" down in texas? this is why i tend to wait for the first track on his next album |

a google deep mind network scans illegal recordings of gigs for large clusters of "fuckin' o" and a virtual computer console inside a server rack promptly spits out the proper tracks in the proper order. |
