Doesnt Aphex end his contract with this remix compilation? if so, do you think that he will ever release anything under his aphex twin guise again. i've been thinking about this a lot recently and i think he might start making tunes under a totally new name and everything so that nobody knows who he is. This is worrying. I live to hear new aphex. If he stops making music, what the hell am i supposed to do?! |

i was wondering why rephlex is working with warp, if rdj is not happy with it? this whole situation is just too confuseing for me |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
oh, and if richards new stuff (when he ends his work for warp) is going to be any good, im sure you will hear abiut it , no matter what name he is going to release under |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes it is confusing,but as long as the music is good, that doesn't bother me. I don't think rdj will ever stop making new tunes. And if he uses another name....so what? it's him!! |

Some said Drukqs was a contract-filler. Obviously it was not. Haven't read anything about this in interviews, so maybe the whole thing is just rumours and crap. |
||||||||

i think it was in that interview on kludge that he said he has realeased stuff under diff names and know one will ever know or have the slightest clue as to what other stuff he has done... which i can understand his way of thinking; if people think i'm so great, will they know it's me if i do something under a diff alias or will they unwittingly bash it in someway... i just think he is such an inovator such a leader in his respected art form that i hope he doesn't take all of this secret info with him to the grave... =( |

i dont really care, if he reveals it or not if he done something good, im sure im going to hear about it |

we all know what a "genius" he is, so his music should be widely distributed. think about if he releasedd a considerable amount of material under misc. monikers, becuase the field is so saturated with new electronic artists you don't think that with out the tag of "RDJ" it would not get lost in the fray? |

in reguards to RDJ/rephlex warp connection. I'm sure things suck between mr. james and warp on the contract between the two. I'm sure that in negotiations with the label, they agreed someplace along the line to pickup and distribute some of the acts...prolly to make rich release material or something...but who really knows but the man and the suits |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i also think 1 of 2 things. After the contract with warp is done, he'll either carry on with the aphex or afx name, hopefully releasing better kick ass music, or start producing more or pickup in a different genre..just my 2 cents |
||||||||

I'm sure there is plenty of new Aphex to please our ears in the future & if he does release under a new guise, I'm sure one of us will figure it out and blow up a thread some day on one of these message boards and boom we all know and carry on... |

Aphex talks so much shit in his interviews most of it should just be taken as him pissing about with the media. I've read tons of interviews with him. In one interview he says he hates the Autechre boys and in the next one he did after that he was talking about emailing wicked sounds to Sean Booth. Remember when he was never releasing another album? Do you really think he is experimenting with human embreos? At the end of the day he is a fucking good musician, one of the best ever electronic artists, whether he releases on Warp or Rephlex it is still him, whatever name he uses it will still be him. I can't understand why people are so eager to know whether something is by him or not, at the end of the day it seems a bit stupid to like a track more because you know it is an RDJ one. Just listen to what you feel...and be happy |

ecnadniarb is very right. But I thought Aphex's Warp contract was already finished. The news item on Warp's website doesn't say the remix compilation is coming out on Warp... They usually say if a release is coming out on Warp, don't they?... |
||||||||
|
|

true man, that's probably the same reason he fucks with the media like that... would a rose by any other name smell as sweet? |

Warp doesnt distribute Rephlex... they just sell Rephlex because Warp is cool. They sell other cool record labels also.... why wouldnt they sell Rephlex.?... you guys are reading too much into all these vague quotes and rumours... i'm sure they will still sell Rephlex as long as they continue the ever cool Warpmart ( yes kids, you can EASILY order from any country that can receive mail) |
||||||||

I'm sure there's a contract that Warp sells all Rephlex. Because if you look on the artwork of Rephlex releases, they say something along the lines of "online distribution: www.warprecords.com" |

I won't like music just because who it's by. Korn is a perfect example. Their first 2 albums were good. The rest suck. I just like RDJ's music. The only reason I'd want to know if he made music and another name is because I would probably like it, and buy it, instead of thinking someone ripped off his style... |

Ubik, the fact alone that the "sell" rephlex cd's means that they have a distribution deal with with eachother. Thats why u see efa stuff stamped on US releases, warp/sire, etc etc....pick up a business 101 book :P |

who cares, he's probably released a ton of shit between windowlicker and drukqs...what was it 2-5 yrs altogether?? i highly doubt richie was sittin on his arse the whole time doin nothing, he's a busy lil bastard |

Warpmart is a online store, that handles it for Rephlex because they are too lazy to set up their own... Rephlex is in no way a sub-label of Warp, nor does Warp distribute Rephlex around the world thru the normal distribution channels (look at the back of a Rephlex Cd and it tells you who does. It is not the same thing as Sire buying the rights to Aphex for distribution in the USA. It is just bizarre that people read so much into everything, and so much conflict and bad blood and behind the scenes politics and deals.... its a couple of cool indie labels.... and i disagree about RDJ being a busy bastard... he seems awfully lazy to me, not in terms of making music, but the music business part. seems to hate the music business side of it, probably never gets around to most of the things he thinks of starting... |

SRD dist. rephlex UK Caroline Dist. USA JVC dist. Japan EFA-germany just checked, all rephlex releases i have say online is thru warpmart, my bad. Just because he hates the 'business part' of the deal probably doesn't mean that he would quit writting material for himeslf though, which is what i meant above :) |

i don't feel like checking through the posts, but this is what i know. rich along with tom (>[]) are leaving warp soon. i believe do you know squarepusher is his contract ender. basically, tom is sick of warp because he thinks untalented artists are getting by on his earnings to warp. so him and rich are going over to rephlex. warner brothers won't let rich have aphex twin back, so he's going to use afx from now on. |
||||||||

sire own the rights to anything under the name "aphex twin" in the US, so if RDJ puts something out under that name on any other label, it won't be released in america unless it's distributed by sire. he desperately wants out of his sire contract cos it's under a major label and he gets more money off it putting it out independently, but a contract is a contract. |

rephlex is less known than warp so it needs warp to spread its records and artists in the world...for me it's a problem if afx leaves warp because it's much more hard to find rephlex records while it's easy to find warp releases...warp has already solved the problem,and autechre are going to become the first act...most of the other warp acts including brothomstates and mira calix owe something to their music |

Good news for any wannabees with distribution problems. Put your tune on you Napster-clone of choice - or, better, all of them - and spread a rumour that it's by RDJ. Whose is the MEN label? |
