hi im from poland and im addicted to his music any time i ask cd seller about his records he says: "what?". whats the situation in other countries? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
exact same... :( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
No problem here. Of course you don't find any rare stuff but its no problem finding the major releases. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well i can find the major releases... but i mean if i was to try to talk to some one about aphex.. theyd be like "who?" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
Welcome rzezniq Same here, but I think he's getting a bit more popular now because of Come to Daddy and Windowlicker(videos) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's a problem here... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
in poland you cant get any lp`s. you must import them from germany and they are very expensive. abot 15$ normal person in poland earns 200$ so its hard to buy them. |
||||||||
|

even though it's mostly junktion that buys our music, i know it's hard to find any in our town too... don't think it's that big of a problem in copenhagen.... -but here in aalborg it's mostly techno and pop that sells.... it's to bad..... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes true because peploe prefer to listen to simple music becuse its easier. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

I don't know anybody else in this city that even knows who he is. I have the only copy of Drukqs that I've ever seen in stores. Other than the RDJ Album, it's impossible to find anything resembling IDM here. |

UK is up on all but the rarest releases. Just got AB3 in a local shop last week for £7.99 and all his 6(?) major release LP's are available in HMV/Virgin/ourprice etc. I even saw SAW85-92 for £4.99 . Takes the piss |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I have a bit of stuff where I live (New Jersey)...Aphex Twin was Drukqs, RDJ, Windowlicker, AB3, ICBYD, Saw85, SawII...yeah that's about it. Squarepusher isn't too bad either for a mainstream music store...but of course I download everything anyway so it's not like I care. I would however like to see BoC and Ae more...or at all. |

i am the only person i know in my town (roseburg OR, pop. 20,000) who listens to Afx except for this stupid drug addled guy i went to hi school with. no one in town sells afx except sam goody for frickin 20 bucks, and they only have his two most popular albums. i have a feeling it's the same in a lot of small towns and cities who's only exposure to music it tv. sad, really. |

i'm from poland, too. rzezniq, you can email me :) in the city of wroclaw it's possible to buy a lot of underground electronics, including vinyl. |
||||||||
|

|

sorry, i forgot to give my email - coq@poczta.onet.pl |
||||||||

Ive noticed a lot of mainstream "artists" are namedropping aphex at the moment so you all might find it easier from now on purchasing the goods. Or you good just download them all for free from morpheous. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Its easy to find most of the stuff where i live, some of the more hard to find too, 51/13 singles, expert know twiddlers, on, on remixes, ventolin etc. skivhuset in malmö is suprisingly good!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
in austria no one knows him but it isn't hard to find his cd's |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
51/13 singles CD was on sale in my local HMV for the equivilent of $50, and they wonder why people use file sharing... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's actually easy here, i think. i tried to buy analogue bubble bath (i don't remember which one) but it was wierd, like, they have this system where they display all of the inlays from the cds, and you bring it to them, and all the cds are in the back. and they only had the inlay, they had no clue where the cd was. that sucked :/ it was probably under afx and the creepy ass record store guy was looking under aphex. i realized much too late. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
probably grabbing the music around the time they were released would of been a good idea now that i think of it... its shite down here aswell... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeh, that's true. living in a town where record shops categorise ALL warp/rephlex as 'experimental' |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
AB3 never had an inlay, It was a plain silver CD, no markings at all, a slimline jewel case with just a small peice of paper inside with Rephlex etc. on it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
lol Is that Jade from BB in your pic? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
um, yeah. i know about ab3. it wasn't actually an inlay, it was just a piece of paper that said something like "analogue bubblebath (some number)" and a price. if i had seen an inlay i would've remembered which one it was. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Rich is famous in the UK. In Greece he is even more. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
they use the paper either when the inlay is missing or if it's still wrapped |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no one know his but his tracks are played all the time as background music in some radioshows, promos and Tv promos |
||||||||

I never was a fan of Richard James untill a realised not to take him for face value. I've been a dj since 1991 (techno only). Aphex twin isn't club music but every so often he'll come out with these trax that are "all over the scale". Brilliant, offendsive, and even hilarious and then my interest is peaked as if he if it was the first time I'd ever heard of him. Windowlicker blew me away, with it's dance moves and smooth yet abrasive melody, as where Come to daddy was just a visual side show and did nothing for me. (other than trip me out and make me laugh). I'll definately hold Richard James in high regards from now on though... |

Hi rzezniq, welcome. No problem getting any of the stuff available from warpmart in shops near me. Try ordering from warpmart (warprecords.com), they carry all his non-discontinued releases. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i've riffled though record shops all over this area, and found most of my aphex collection and all of my squarepusher collection at Best Buy! can you believe that? a god damn chain store! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah it's strange, i think i'm the only people in my village who know, love, and collect aphex (also the other artists, you know which i mean) NOBODY, except 2, 3 peoples, likes, hears or knows Aphex Twin. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
luckly he is quite popular in my local music store-they are pretty much oriented on electronic music |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Let's just hope R.James doesn't become so popular that it's a top 40 trend. Prodigy used to be cool but they sold out and now they suck. At least Aphex Twin is more of an accuired taste and He doesn't have to try and be a freak to get noticed, He just is a freak. LOL |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Most of Aphex's records are in the cut out bin...got the RJD album for €11..Aphex and Autechre and other IDM (electronica...whatever) artists are pretty wellknown here. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you can find a bunch in st.louis, but its hard to meet people into idm-ish music |

When Windowlicker was just released I went into a music store (leading edge music) and asked of they had it. The guy asked if it was in the chart. I said in the UK it was but not here. And he said if it's not in the Australian chart we don't have it. What a Bastard store!!! And I was depressed because no other stores had it, and this was before I got onto the net. A local chain-store is pretty good (JB-Hi). They got BoC's Geogaddi on import a few days after it came out in the UK and they charged normal price. I've also got SAW 85-92 from them. Though most of my Aphex CD's have been bought from the UK and USA on the net. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
JB! ;) I've spotted LOADS of IDM in that place!! and there pretty good prices aswell... a few weeks ago they were selling Drukqs for $18(aus) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oops! I left out the "Fi" in Hi-Fi :) Yes, they are great! I havent been there that many times because it is very out of the way but they have come in handy a few times. For Christmas they were wonderful. I wanted SAW85-92 and the Fight Club 2 Disc DVD set. Sanity and others said they could order SAW but it would come in January. And every place had only the 1 disc Fight Club. JB had both, and for a good price. Yay! :) Princo, do you know of www.dstore.com.au? I got my Drukqs from them for $15!! =D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah Princo!!! I'm glad there's a fellow Aussie on this 'board!! They've just opened up JB Hifi here in Perth, WA. I bought my copy of drukqs there!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the ones i wasn`t able to buy i ordered over amazon. cheap, quick and reliable. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i can easily find many records by rdj in net-shops and in Empik retail-chain in big cities. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Resident evil - 15 bucks for Drukqs... thats HALF the RRP !!!! did that include shipping aswell?! I happened to have a gift voucher for Chaosmusic.com around the drukqs time so i save bucks there! :-D toejam - where bouts are you at?! you havent filled out much on your member profile. :-/ |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
its the same everywhere for a lot of music, not just aphex twin. shop owners are usually chart music lovers like the rest. luckily i have discovered internet shopping, now i need never leave the house, HA HARRRRR HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR HA HARRRRRR HARRRRRRRRRRRR (cough cough splutter) life suxx |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Where I live, i can easily get the major release albums at any music store, but the ep's and rare releases are very hard to come by. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i have no problem..i found everything..also imports..singles are a bit hard to find but hey there are always online stores |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
everybody thx for your coments!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
