Okay guys, I got this really fucking weird ass message on my answering machine. I actually had two friends in the house and they heard it as it was being left. They way it sounds though... it is rdj, i swear to god! Just listen to it, and think of the way that he odd snare and bass rushes in complex mathmatical equation and bucephalus bouncing ball.
The Message on my Answering Machine
let the debate begin

do you have any music-making friends? hmm, this is quite some mystery...
maybe as a tribute to his fans, Richard is leaving some previously unreleased material on ppl's machines. maybe big bird shot JFK. who knows...

-i have some friends who are musically inclined, but none are electronically. just me.
Okay, well at least it's not just me who thinks this sounds like richard d james. i've had that sitting on my machine for a while now. It was left the weekend of march 10-11th. I went up to visit my parents about 2 hours away. But i had two friends house sitting my apartment. That's why they didn't answer the phone. I'm pissed too cause i lost the message. The mp3 on my site was recorded with some shitty microphone at a low freq. FUCK, and now it's gone.
But EVERYTHING on there is from the recording... no background noises at all. For instance, you can hear some voices around 55 seconds into the song... those are actually on the recording.
Also the distorted guitarish sound from the 1min mark to 1:30min actually phases into a voice that says something at exactly 1:31min mark. At 1:34 you hear someone say "... get off the phone-" And during this is that aphex-like-distorted-like guitar solo in the background. Any rock fans around who know might know if that that solo is a sample from somewhere? perhaps jimi hendrix. ...
aHHH it even sounds like he says my name really quickly at 1:05... (tony) ... perhaps not, but shit.
and what about the telephone tones played starting at 1:06? Here are the numbers/tones he pressed:
4-4-4-(pause)-7-(pause)-4 7and4-(pause)7and7
It doesn't come through that well on the recording, but there is a distorted voice saying something at 1:30-1:32...
Man, this is too weird. Really. Richard, are you out there!?!?!?
Sh|te, well all i know is that i've listened to aphex twin intensley for the past three years, and I'd like to think that I can pinpoint his 'style.' I mean, regardless of the variance he has in all the music he makes, he still has a certain style that is static throughout all his music, agreed?
HELLO?!?!!? RDJ? Did you really call my house?
*sigh*

I believe this message to be the bearded chipmunk for several reasons.
a. its way past due for a release b. its so personal and repersentitive of his caring approach to keeping the fans
c. it marks a new method in distributing music which is so characteristic of Nanou
d. btw, Nanou is a spiritual entity closely related to Lam, the alien that visited Aleister Crowley for the remainder of his last days
e. its almost like a cry for help, which we know itchy Rich would be prone to do seeing that he lost his lover due to philosophical differences pertaining to the reproduction of a RDJ/Nanou collaboration.
Cheers to you Mrs. Robinson, Jesus loves you more than you will know.

5is6 or whatever wasn't Aleister Crowley found in a room after his exploits, and his friend and him were put in there for a night or two along, and when they broke down the door he was sitting in the corner shaking with blood all over himself and the friend nowhere to be found?

FLEACEX, although I dont recall Crowley being in a room in the corner with mud on his face, I do recall a time when I spanked my private detective so brutally that the only thing all over your face was something slightly resembling blood but with an angel robe white shading. MMMM...it looks good on ya.
LAM partially = Nanou =>

ya know... and just a thought to those who said that any moron could make what was on that answering machine... just keep this is mind..
I used a shitty mic to record it, so... it sounded a lot better to me, and there were things that did not come through very well and 2
you say that it sounds like a piece of shit, but rdj has written other things like that that sound odd and not really too coherenint... but when it comes off a cd and it says aphex twin on it, we all hail it to be an artwork. if they sound the same, wtf is the difference?
i played bucephalus bouncing ball for my aesthetics class, and most people said it sounded like random bullshit... and they all hated it pretty much. but us afx fans know how great of a song it is, and how much time rdj must have put into it...
just some perspective.

Yeah Xepha34893, right on. I'm sure the bearded chipmunk put an extra half an hour into bucephalus and rescheduled his normal 30 songs a day routine to work out that cute little metallic bouncing ball trick. As for the answering machine, I dont think he ever worked out how to use the tele seeing he has more important things to do like rotating the various planets in our solarsystem ect.

Bollocks is it AFX. But I reckon we should start a chain. Everyone just phone an answering system and leave the message from your computer speakers. Spread the word.
