Sorry to revisit an old topic, but I just found
this article.

"only allowing the album to be released on the Internet.
He considers it less of a masterpiece than an
experimentation and offers it for free"


I thought the MP3s were leaked onto the net from some demo
CDs he sent to games companies, not from an "official"
release. If this is true, why is there some confusion about
how many tracks there should be (11/12) and why are my mp3s
such crummy quality?

guys from the recordcompanies..

I thought it was intended as computer game music.

are there any mp3s out there encoded > 128kbps? preferably
ones that don't go 'bloop' every now and then, like mine do.

I heard that but I thought they where given to people who
work at Rephlex on tape. I never understood where this
'computer game' rumor came from.

check this topic about mfm, it contains some good
info from xceque and should point things out here...

cheers for that.

I don't remember where I got mine from, but the individual
tracks certainly weren't encoded by the same person as the
id3 tags are all totally different.

Also fingerbip and logan rock witch both sound exactly the
same as the RDJ album versions.

Track one is silent compared to the other tracks. I have the
12 track one thanks to Uzim. I intend to normalize this
release and burn it onto a blank CD for myself without the
demo tracks. I'll have on the side 'Melodies From Mars' and
nothing else, add a little more of an interesting angle to
my CD collection. The whole saga with the track order and
amount done my head in and made me wish it had not got out.
But I'm just fussy.

>In these songs especially, Aphex mocks structure, he
mocks order, he mocks music, he mocks all that is pure and
good in the universe.


Hm, I would have to disagree with that. Seems like the MFM
tracks are some of the most sturctured and most
ordered of any other post SAW2 "release".

Last time I tried, I couldn't find a folder on the FTP with
upload permissions. I have a pretty good version at 192
Kbps. Why don't you join our opennap server, martinhm?

I've used Morpheus in the past as it can be installed
without admin priviliges (can you tell I'm at work?), but I
don't know anything about opennap.

Let me go and swot up.

That review was bollocks. The interviewer obviously
downloaded it off the net, as the real MFM has 12 tracks.

And the versions of Logon Rock Witch and Fingerbib are
longer/shorter and slightly different, but hardly
noticable.

I never could figure out where the videogame reference came
from either - my guess is someone said it sounded like
videogame music, and it stuck.
