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?

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.

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.
