For the past few years, I've been attempting to collect the entire RDJ collection... mainly original copies, but in extreme cases where originals are rare or can't be found, (Gak, Q-Chastic, MfM etc.), I've settled for mp3s.
However, I've finally got to the point where I'm sick and tired of looking for obscure albums and EPs that I don't need anyway (the songs are found on albums I already have or on other albums that are easier to get a hold of).
What I thought was... "wouldn't it be great if someone went through the entire RDJ back catalogue and cross-referenced every song/edit/remix?"
Then people would be able to go through the list with their mp3s or albums, checking off songs they have, songs they need etc.
I mean, it's one thing to have a 'discography'... but it gets frustrating when you have to go through ten different versions of each release to make sure you have all the songs.
So... I ask... does anyone have such a checklist? If so, that'd be great and it would be much appreciated if you distributed it around... perhaps emailing it or posting it on the net. I'm *trying* to make my own, but I estimate that I'm only half-way through it and it might take a week or so to finish (at least... I have other things to do too).
So... yeah, if someone has one, please... share! :)
My suggestion is to organize it as Song Name, Track Length, Where it can be found... then maybe a couple of tickboxes, one for ticking that you have a copy on an album, another for ticking that you have it on mp3.
I'd like to think that somewhere down the line, I'd have such a 'checklist'... and even further down the line perhaps all the songs checked off :P
Comments on this idea would be appreciated, people :)

I doubt that would be very hard at all. Long, but not too hard. I have a huge collection of AFX.

Why make it that easy? A discography should make the work for you.

Well, R3FL3X, if it doesn't seem like such a daunting task, how about contributing a little bit? :)
How about making a list of all his hard-to-find songs for me and posting it here?
I have pretty much every EP/Album on my list, however it's the 'rare' stuff like Brivert & Muons, CAT 002, n.Iasp, My Teapot that gets me worried. Although I have the above in my list, I'm kinda concerned that I may have missed something. So if you (or anyone else out there who has a complete list of rare tracks (and remixes?) not found on the regular RDJ albums, please please PLEASE, could you post? :)
The more help I get from you guys, the quicker I can finish this off :) Thanks people :)

It would be nice to include track lengths too, because a few times I've downloaded a rare track that has been edited down to about half of its original length, only to find out later that the song goes for much longer..

Rob... As for track lengths, I agree with you wholeheartedly. If I try to download a song using Kazaa or something, I always look at the track length before I click on 'Download'. No point in waiting an hour for one song to download, only to find out it cuts out the last few seconds. But yeah, I already mentioned putting track length in the checklist...

My AFX collection: (all ORIGINAL copies, no mp3's, though i do agree with Corn on the rarities part)\
Aphex Twin - "Selected Ambient Works 85-92" Aphex Twin - "Classics" Aphex Twin - "On" Aphex Twin - "Ventolin" Aphex Twin - "Ventolin: The Remixes" Aphex Twin - "Selected Ambient Works Volume 2" Aphex Twin - "I Care Because You Do" Aphex Twin - "RDJ ALBUM" aPHEX tWIN - "gIRL/bOY EP" Aphex Twin - "Come to Daddy" Aphex Twin - "Come to Daddy Remixed "Aphex Twin - "Windowlicker" AFX - Analogue Bubblebath AFX - Analogue Bubblebath 3 AFX - Analogue Bubblebath 4 Caustic Window - "Compilation" Polygon Window - "Surfing on Sine Waves" Aphex Twin - "Donkey Rhubarb" Mike n Rich - "Expert Knob Twiddlers"
Aphex Twin - NIN works (i have the cd)
mp3's : Beck Devil's Haircut remix Powerpill - Pacman (original mix) The Tetris Remix
AFX/ Baby Ford - "Normal (Helston Flora Mix) (off of Braindance Coincidence - ihave that on cd too)
None of this stuff is that hard to ifnd if you know a good indie record store with a fairly large special order book, who doesn't mind taking them. Also, indie stores that have been established for a long time in certain areas that aren't keen on Aphex will have some of the rarer stuff. I discovered this when i foud an indie record store that had been open for years that had a mass quantity of Aphex that i did not have.
I also have 51/13 Singles Collection, but since i have all the EP's, it's sorat worthless to me now.

damn my crappy typing today!!! *hits self hard!!!*
well, Cornell i don't have the time or patience to write that sort of a checklist, but i can tell you where the stuff can be found....
WARP RECORDS.com : On Ep's/Ventolin Ep's/Donkey RHUBArb/Come2Daddy/Windowlicker/rdj album/i care because you do/SAW2/Surfing On Sine Waves
REPHLEX: AFX Analogue Bubblebath 3 & 4 Caustic Window - Compilation AFX Helston Flora of "Normal" (on Braindance Coincidence)
WAX TRAX: AFX - Analogue Bubblebath Polygon Window - Surfing on Sine Waves (original)
NIN works -- Further Down the Spiral (can be found quite easily)
The rest you'll have to dig around the net for, or as i said earlier, find a really good indie store that might have them.
Happy hunting!!! --- :)

Yeah, I read the previous strings and saw that some people got a bit pissed about your collection. Personally, I couldn't care less.
But seeing as you seem to have a fairly extensive collection... it would have been nice to get some track times/track lists from you heh :P Nah, it doesn't matter... I'll keep going with the info I have already and if I need assistance, I'll know where to turn, okay? :)
Also, seeing as you 'technically' have Melodies from Mars... tell me this... does it have 11 tracks or 12? The 'official' discography lists it as 12, but everywhere else lists it as 11... *shrug*

Melodies from mars is Twelve and 11 tracks. There were two versions. One had the longer version of Logon rock witch (which if you click the sample on thi ste the wrong track plays) and the the short track (1:30) cuts off at 1:09. The othe version doesn't have logon rock witch on it. Good luck finding an mp3 of it though. I managed to get a hold of one. Just to let you now I have a total of 360 tracks done by RDJ (inclding the remixes). I still only have one track from the Q-chastic EP. Somebody out there has t have it. Damn it!

im not sure of this, but apparently i have every afx mp3 (iuncluding his remixed - devils haircut, kreiger etc..) and also videos of on, come to daddy, windowlicker and donkey rhubarb and an ad and some interviews on mp3 on a set of 4 CDs sent to me by mr Centurix.
i could probably take some time out and compile a litst of them if anyones interested.
(i'd rather not, of course, coz its gonna be a pain in the ass, but i will do it)

Ya i have 30 cds of richard d james's shit (everything on the discography) half of it is albums that i bought so you need mp3s to get what you want, there's a ton out there but some are fake, but its nice to tell people its done by richard.
