Has there ever been a reason given why these albums where never released? I read somewhere giving the reason Richard did not want to release something bad because he didn't want to upset his fans, but I think he is upsetting his fans more not releasing them :-) I doubt that reason is true. Another possible reason was because some samples are copyrighted, he didn't get permission and so he can't release them. This seems more likely. Though if it is correct about the copyrighted songs why not release the tracks that arent copywrited? I've heard samples from both and I love what I hear. I've never seen anyone say these two albums are crap. I'm sure a lot of people here would get a giant smile if something like a 'Aphex Twin/AFX From the Vault! Melodies from Mars and Analogue Bubblebath 5 double CD!' came out =D |

I dont know. I think that he didn't want to release Melodies From Mars because.. it wasn't meant to be released anyway, it was simply for a gaming company, and they refused it. AB5 - Richards once said that he didnt like this work of his and didnt see it fit to be released officially at all.... left to gather dust, and be played in crappy mp3 format for the rest of us. Its a decent one. |

No. Thats not true. The Melodies From Mars, was not really an album to start with, as I said it was meant for the game company as a introduction into his work, he would do for them if hired, on the basis of that CD, which he did not do {get hired} |

I think both AB5 and MFM would have been very poopy releases, better they weren't released...you people want proof that RDJ isnt perfect and can write crap, here is your proof, download if ye dare...only 3 or 4 songs came out of these sessions that i consider decent, best being fingerbib, which he realized and was smart enough to include on the RDJ album... |

i don't know, there's something about the half-finished quality to AB5 that makes it that much more appealing. i kinda enjoy the beauty of the fuzz over those tracks in the same way that SAW1 is beautiful for its mangledness... |

Dave: the fuzz you hear is due to poor encoding of your MP3s - the actual whitelabel is much clearer and crisper. Neo and Reflex: MfM was released as a few C90 cassettes to friends of Richard and WARP and Rephlex employees - the whole video game company rumour thing is just that = a rumour. MfM's tracks are 'leftovers' from his recording sessions to create the RDJ Album - If you recall, he claimed to have created over 150 tracks, and narrowed it down to the few he used for the RDJA and the Girl/Boy EP. I hope this helps you out. It's all minutae really, since the important thing is the music - if you like it, that's all that really matters, but it's sometimes nice to know the history behind a release or a non-release in this case. Cheers. |

I dunno what would be bad about it, but what I've heard of AB5 (5-6 tracks), it ROCKS. It contains some stuff and structures not very typical to RDJ, and I love the way it's executed. Just like the odd "Bummy" track on that compilation. |
