Entitled Aphex Twin: Every Album, Every Song, it systematically goes through each piece of music recorded by Richard D. James under the alias, including his six studio albums plus EPs on R&S, Warp, Rephlex and other labels. The book also includes releases put out under the names Caustic Window, Polygon Window, Bradley Strider and others. Some material that never received a proper release, such as Melodies from Mars and Aphex Twin's track dumps on SoundCloud, are skipped, though the book does cover the Caustic Window LP, since that was given a limited digital release. At only 17 years old, the author, Beau Waddell, wasn't alive when most of James's music was released. That aside, he carefully works through each track, recording catalogue numbers, times and dates, and production information, as well as many of the myths that surround the reclusive artist. The book is part of the On Track series, which also delves into the back catalogues of other artists like Pink Floyd, Radiohead, The Human League and New Order. there are like 100 others of what are clearly AI-generated books, about depeche mode "every album, every song" the RA writeup i've quoted reads like... yeah, an input prompt for an AI to generate the book. so maybe RA behind this? |

What’s more, at the end of his set, James gave away 200 labelled and packaged sheets of sandpaper marked with his logo as a kind of memento for attendees. These have since periodically resurfaced on eBay, listed as collector’s items for overinflated prices. The second iteration of James’ notorious performance took place at NYC’s The Knitting Factory, which hosted a two-night billing of acts chosen by the Disobey team. “[Disobey] really got into it and invited me to go to America to do it again,” James told Alternative Press. “It was only supposed to be a one-off, but they wanted to pay me and take my friends, so I did it.” This time, though, James was about to one-up himself, bringing along not only one but two unorthodox items that he planned to use in mixing things up. His trusty sandpaper, laid on the turntable, was joined by a mixer, but perhaps not the kind you’re thinking of. This was the type of appliance you might use to blend vegetables, not tracks. When he was finished coaxing unearthly noises out of his sandpaper, the second half of James’ set saw the producer placing a microphone inside a kitchen mixer and flipping the power switch. Describing how the night unfolded, James recalled in a matter-of-fact fashion, “I just mixed some sandpaper together for a bit and then played a food mixer.” Just an average night on the decks, then. |

suing all these websites for making up entire books about him can i earn a commission for -- i swear i could -- sitting there and compiling irrefutable evidence of the automated cashgrabbage? |

i mean maybe it's obviously sad, this AI-generated book "every track" -- that maybe he's even partially responsible, or on board. but if not. please sue -- because trivial as it is, it sets a precedent and if you don't stop it more will show up. either way, popcorn.gif |

Orsered at local book store 20$ /// 35£ The 120 lb girl, with a few holes and piecings in her face and some very unusual tattoos on her neck and arms behind the customer service booth said that the book has a release date of z2-3 weeks away but it’s not a hard date so It could be here in about a week |

it's going to be... all the tracks, off all the albums. listed out. filling up pages. with time listings. things to look for here: flagrant errors to the point of lol. probably won't be many as this is factual/stat stuff and pretty basic to get largely correct then there will be blurb interludes; AI-generated text. i am figuring this will be awful. resist the urge to post the awful of the first page or three, because you'll find that there's pages and pages of it and what you really want to post here are the few diamonds in the rough that stand a level above awful, to turn around and reach such an unholy level of awful that it's almost art. almost [given that there were scads of other books exactly like this for scads of other artists, yeah, i suspect this is how it will go] |

>> The 120 lb girl, with a few holes and piecings in her face >> and some very unusual tattoos on her neck and arms only thing missing is a very strong opinion on the thing that you're buying and youve got a customer for as long as that person is working there. |

EpicMegaTrax: so is it fairly settled this stuff is 'AI' generated? |

I’ll have it in my hands within two weeks |

I ordered it from my local bookstore mate |

|

| |||||||||
|
|
oh, i mean. i hope you do get it. i'm just saying let's not get our hopes up. it could be on a slow boat from somewhere after on-demand printing. or it could have been seized by customs on behalf of a certain ginger's lawyers |

I kid a kinda expect to kinda know most of it with a few hidden pictures in that that are rare Hyperflake said he used his page as a lot of references Cuase Hy has been getting material pre Covid |

has anyone seen the track descriptions at all, yet? perhaps they fed the youtube comments into the LLM too what a waste of tree |

there are LOADS of other 'books' for 'every track' in exactly the same pattern as this, on amazon.... reddit bots shilling this made it look semi legit, "we were beaten by the best, boy" |

fairly good idea having the author as a young lad,no one wants to crush their vibe... let this be a lesson to us: routinely brutalise youngsters. |

i tried to make it clear from the start. when i said afx should sue, i wasn't joking at all. and, yes, that last part -- it wasn't the fact that it was a "young lad" that put the final nail in the coffin, it was the name -- beau waddell. like, alright, fuck off. now i'm sure this is bollocks |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
given my track record in Cool Band Names, when i say "this is a fake name; it's clearly stoner bollocks" i expect to be taken seriously shop needs a takedown notice and stop stealing recycle's money |
||||||||

i found the mainline store for it. some self-publish platform and... seeing all these artists next to the aphex book... no, this is like someone putting traffic rankings into a script to generate them all |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that, with apologies to recycle, idiots will actually buy this, as recycle has clearly demonstrated. i do kind of see the appeal of "what's that" then "oh it's a crap illegal AI generated book about aphex i got off the internet" but if you let it go, it will keep going. and i also tried to describe how the book would be; that it won't be anywhere near as good as one would hope from a crap AI book. so even if you accept that it's a crap AI book, you'll still be disappointed. if it ever actually arrives the real victim so far is recycle's local bookshop, who presumably had to pay upfront to order a copy. or a few |
||||||||

|

You don’t ahe to pay upfront at Barnes and Nobles. You can order the whole solar system, it’s kind of an honest system. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
my, even that's too much of a think? i was saying: you didn't have to pay upfront, recycle, but the bookstore probably did. ...and it still hasn't arrived, has it? at least it's a chain and not a truly local place. but barnes and nobles is alright, you can go in there and read a whole book and no one says shit |

Epic, don’t go in bending all the corners on the magazines either. Don’t curl the magazine to read it either. Fucking hippy free spirits |
