Ok....I heard there are no song names for any of the songs on this album and all the song names were made by the fans from figuring out the pictures and symbols. But howcome when you dl an mp3 and stuff there are a set list of song names. Who decided on these names? You know what I mean? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes..i guess somebody named the songs and it got on it is one of those things that you just believe in and do not question |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The names are whats in the pictures. That and when I stuck the cd in my computer those are the names it looked up on the net... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ok but how did these names become official ( or unofficial for that matter) ? I don't understand this. It's bugging me for some reason. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
Check the FAQ. I'd say because of napster. How are you going to find and Download 25 untitled tracks? Names made it easier. That and the names are what is in the pictures...So it makes sense... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
Yeah, but ... you could just be like disc 1 track 1 ;) I wonder if Phobia would know. Who or what made the tracklisting official. Thanks to all who read this thread. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
As I said, I'm pretty sure it became official when all the pictures were identified with the appropraite track. Someone told someone else. It made sense to them, and sense they didn't feel like questioning it, they just agreed...Thats proly all there is to it. I could easily be wrong though... |

w/o the aid of the internet i'm guessing u need to be in some kind of meditative or subconscious state to decipher it =/ |

It's like how many licks does it take to get to the tootsie roll center or a tootsie pop. The world may never know. Thanks for the link DaWeeze so it will continue to remain a mystery of how the names got started but I'll just be a good little lad and accept them for what they are. Thanks all. Goodnight |

hahah i know how many licks it takes.....and i'll NEVER tell!! however the names are officially the unofficial names. and i agree with 006 they had to put a track listing out there so it stuck. if you find out differently let us know. SAW II is the first Aphex CD i purchased 2 1/2 years ago =0) |

Asche-Sure thing :.) LeCoeur-We DON'T want to know. It would raise too many question, dear. ;.P |

I just bought Excursions in Ambience The Third Dimension and it has a track called "#19" by Aphex Twin on it. In the booklet it says "Taken from Selected Ambient Works Vol 2 (UK vinyl version). The track definitely isn't on the CD version. It's veeeery minimal (same thing looped for 10 mins) and I can imagine it fitting well on SAW II. Anyway, let us know. Cheers. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
#19 is from SAW II VINYL ONLY (the 19th song)... its only on CD on that Comp. ... i like it alot |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the numbers of tracks are different.. 25 tracks for vinyl, 24 tracks for CD Warp UK, 23 tracks for the Sire USA version |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
thats Stone in Focus. They are many topics here on it. One of my favorite Aphex Twin songs. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
#19 (stone in focus) is on the UK CD not on the US... The names were first used on the IDM & aphextwin mailing lists and were just chosen cause they look close to the pics...I believe it was Alan Perry who decided on the names; he was a very active AFX fan on the IDM list (also responsible for a lot of the AFX FAQ)... Now they are on cddb, they become more or less official.... check here for some more info re: diff US & UK.. ... |
||||||||

|

|
|
it's not looping in fact... |
||||||||
|
|

what do you mean its not looping? |

read phatberts post.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well I've got a 24-track copy of SAW II and #19 is DEFINITELY not on it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
phatbert is defintely right, 'stone in focus' (I actually really hate these so-called titles) is not on either the UK CD or the US one. the one (laughingly) called 'hankie' is on the UK version, but not the US. The only place where 'stone in focus' can be found on CD is that Ambiences In the 3rd Dimension compilation. It *is* on the UK vinyl version however. crackle crackle (and, if it's the brown vinyl version, CRACKLE!!!) |
||||||||

the brown vinyl is currently at EUR 25 on ebay. If I wasn't going to England in 2 days I'd be bidding for that. DANG! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the great mystery is: WHY IS [Z TWIG] CALLED [Z TWIG]? WHY Z?? WHY WHY WHYYYY ZZZZZZ??? |
||||||||

Brown vinyl. Damn. It's not just brown, it's SHIT colour. My flatmate of the time got it when it came out, I remember waiting for the landlady to go to bed so we could get the bong going, we listened to it all, (lots of flipping) it was amazing. We listened and checked out all the pics, graphs and shit, IT WOZ NICE. |

Because it's twig shaped like a Z...;.) Uzim...what the hell is that in your avatar...you're not trapping souls again are you...;.) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
cheers...I always make that mistake... I picked up a copy of that comp with '#19' on it on ebay a while back & I remember thinking 'well, I'm sure I've heard that before' the first time I had a listen....wonder why they left it off the SAWII CDs, it fits in so well.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
things that make you go hmmm |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
because there's no space left on those CDs jand. The first one's 79 and the second 77 minutes. Try and get a 10 min track on there! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I know it's on the vinyl. It may be possible to fit it on a cd if you do an overburn... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what the fuck's an overburn? You can't get more than 80 mins on a CD, and if you can, I've never seen it anywhere before. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it does exist, 99min CDRs are pretty common now...but yeah, I don't expect the tech was there to do this then.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
DaWeeze > on my avatar? it's a picture of ! i'm not trapping souls... (like the knights ;)) shaped like a z? hmm... already thought of it, but i don't see it looking like a z (it is such a blurry close-up!)... bah, that's not really important anyway. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah. The point is...it's a nice, short tune. ;.) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
99min cd-r's? cool, i'll burn 'the wall'. i hate burning cd's (i've done it for about 6 or 7 albums ever) but fucking pink floyd charge too much for this album. if you didn't know, 'the wall' is set to have a "minimum price." i forget what it is but i've never seen it under $24, which is expensive for a 2CD set (which is in fact only 81 minutes). also, the beatles cd's are a minimum $14.99. never less. really obnoxious, but they know they can get away with it. |
