I think 2 Remixes by AFX is called that and released on 'MEN' to stop people from buying it on the merit of it being 808 State and getting unwanted attention directed to Rephlex. MEN was a one off and that's why it changed from it's original Cat number to MEN1. I think the whole issue about MEN being for AFX and Squarepusher is just to start rumor and fuck with the fanboys. :> If it came out with an 808 State broadcasting cover and a Rephlex logo I'm guessing you would have the same trouble with it becoming over popular as you did with some other releases in the past. Good idea but not something I can back up. It's a shame AFX has to worry about such things and I think this will reflect the lack of decent new Aphex Twin material coming out in the future. He just can't do so without the hype. Look at it from the point of view that Rephlex may have had back in the early days. 'Oh fuck, everything we are putting out on Rephlex is being bought under the idea that people think it's AFX' You still see UI vinyl's marked as Aphex Twin that are actually by KK. Maybe this is why Aphex Twin is shady about what he puts out? Cat002 and Cat003 are impossible to get and is this because Rephlex worried they where being bought for the wrong reason? I have no fucking clue but a discussion would be nice I guess. I hardly know as much as I'd like about Rephlex. |

I want to hear Cat003 bad because if that 7" of UI Green is anything to go by it will have some good stompers on. :> |

I dont think rephlex cares so much why anyone buys them, but how much money we spent on them. |

Well if you own a record label you have to worry about sales but you are also going to be there for the music right? I mean if a record label stops selling music then they won't have enough money to put the next release out or won't want to because they are not selling records. But if you want to keep it real from their perspective selling everything under the idea it's Aphex would not be the same as selling it to get the music out there. I doubt Rephlex are as profit driven as they are compassionate about getting good music out there. |

What I'm saying is they could easy access the mainstream and make a shit load of money but they seem to avoid this (quite rightly imo) at all costs. |

Oh yeayeah. I want that too but I think it will be a while apart from the new remix he will do soon on Rephlex. |

"I want to hear Cat003 bad because if that 7" of UI Green is anything to go by it will have some good stompers on. :>" I'm so close to hearing that! :D As for Aphex trying to distance himself in that way. It makes sense that he would do that. I reckon that could be what's been done there. |

Half way through reading your reply I was reminded that I am not a lebel exec and therefore dont care about this as it is none of my business. Im sorry to inconvenience with a reply as I am neither a signed musician nor have I ever been employed by record label, thus making any opinion of mine in relation to this topic trivial. |

Yeah but I still value your opinion. I mean what i said may be total and utter shit so I don't want to stick by that without hearing a compelling argument against it. I guess in the end as with everything we don't know but it's still interesting to discuss. |

I'll add to what I'm saying here. I heard a rumor that AFX will have a new remix out very soon. It's not the kind of rumor I make up but something to look forward to. I'm guessing it will be later this year. |
