Answering Machine and Aphex Twin
 

XePhA88 from San Jose, CA on 2001-04-17 09:57 [#00003617]



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


 

XePhA88 from San Jose, CA on 2001-04-17 09:58 [#00003618]



btw, this song sounds nothing like any afx song that i've
ever heard. damn... this is such a trip!


 

po{e} from THE UK on 2001-04-17 11:38 [#00003623]



WTF was that???

if analogue synths could fart I think that could be a fair
description.


 

XePhA88 from San Jose, CA on 2001-04-17 14:02 [#00003633]



THANK YOU! i mean, really... I have no clue where that came
from.... not a damn clue.... but it sounds so much like
twin... shit mehng..

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...


 

XePhA88 from San Jose, CA on 2001-04-17 15:00 [#00003643]



-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*


 

XePhA88 from San Jose, CA on 2001-04-17 15:04 [#00003644]



damn big bird... jfk could have made some good changes..


 

Phobiazero from Sweden on 2001-04-17 19:21 [#00003669]



Well, someone is joking with you man!


 

XePhA88 from san jose, ca on 2001-04-17 19:36 [#00003671]



somethin' is goin' on... who knows? what gets to me though
is that there really is a fact of the matter about it.
someone picked up the phone on the other end, called me, and
left me that message... i wanna know!!!


 

[REFLEX] from Canada on 2001-04-17 23:25 [#00003690]



I personally think that it is Satan speaking to you analogue
through the phone lines. And this message is the code of all
evil. You myfriend, are going straight to hell.


 

XePhA88 from san jose, ca on 2001-04-18 01:17 [#00003692]



damn. oh well, whaddaya gonna do?


 

[REFLEX] from Canada on 2001-04-18 01:25 [#00003693]



Nothing really, I mean who knows who put that there!?.. It
could have been anyone. A friend playing a joke on you,
maybe someone left the message on your machine by mistake..
or the wrong number.. or maybe its satan!?. I dunno.
anything.


 

XePhA88 from san jose, ca on 2001-04-18 01:36 [#00003698]



dammit, it was rdj! i know it! oh... he's so dreamy!!! i
know it was him.. he wouldn't do something like that to me!
tee hee...


 

Deceptikon from www.tiny-pixel.com on 2001-04-18 02:17 [#00003700]



ha ha.. You actually expect anyone to believe this was made
by RDJ? I could produce something similar with a few pots
and pans and a walkie talkie.


 

[REFLEX] from Canada on 2001-04-18 02:37 [#00003704]



No i don't think that Xepha88 really thinks this is AFX..
its probably more like a wet dream he had.. I think. Or so
im told.


 

D-Hex from KC Missouri on 2001-04-18 04:36 [#00003707]



Thats not twin, thats someone taking a massive gross shit.


 

XePhA88 from San Jose, CA on 2001-04-18 07:04 [#00003724]



okay, whatever!! you're all just mad cause rdj loves me,
and not any of you guys... bite my shiny metal ass!!!

in the end... i just wonder where it came from...
ho-hum... let this horse die now


 

po{e} from THE UK on 2001-04-18 12:08 [#00003752]



i doubt it was RDJ, do you have any connection with him?

any way, a toddler playing with a synth could probably make
similar sounds..


 

po{e} from THE UK on 2001-04-18 12:09 [#00003754]



have any of u tried playing it BACKWARDS???


 

Gary on 2001-04-18 19:27 [#00003815]



ARE YOU AFX?... well are ya


 

5is6 from centeroftheultraworld on 2001-04-18 20:09 [#00003824]



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.



 

[REFLEX] from Canada on 2001-04-18 21:54 [#00003840]



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?


 

5is6 from centeroftheultraworld on 2001-04-19 06:31 [#00003890]



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 =>


 

XePhA88 from San Jose, CA on 2001-04-19 21:09 [#00003966]



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.


 

5is6 from centeroftheultraworld on 2001-04-19 21:14 [#00003968]



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.


 

XePhA49309034902029 from no where important anymore on 2001-04-19 21:18 [#00003969]



okay, yeah sure, whatever... i don't even know if you are
agreeing with me or not... but whatever...


 

Melissa Farts from Juno Where on 2001-05-15 06:30 [#00006433]



i agree with xepha. it HAS to be aphex twin. who else
could it be?


 

Naphex-Male from Vancouver, B.C. Canada on 2001-05-15 10:56 [#00006457]



Hey! Everyone just listen! It was aliens that called you
man!!!! I swear! or it was the band WEEN calling you on
some sort of "Pod" outtake!!!!! Anyone like Ween?
Respond earthlings!!!!


 

PHEXA. on 2001-05-15 13:15 [#00006477]



GIIIGGLEEEHAHAHHAHAH..-


 

ptolemy from canada on 2001-05-15 14:31 [#00006480]



wow man...i dont know what to say. i really want to believe
that its AFX, but then, why the hell would it be? at times
it really does sound like him, but i cant get myself to
believe that RDJ called your house. i hope you find out
man.



 

sic from netherlands on 2001-05-15 18:56 [#00006510]



it scares the shit out of me...


 

Syllable#5 on 2001-05-15 19:56 [#00006526]



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.


 

[REFLEX] from Western Canada on 2001-05-16 02:23 [#00006537]



WTF?! this is an old one.. hahah.. well boys and some
girls.. soak it up while you can. AFX is coming to a
answering machine near you.


 

XePhA88 from same place as always on 2001-05-16 21:03 [#00006587]



wow! i wonder how this topic suddenly came up again... i
haven't even been updating my web page fer a while... but
yes... the answering machine message is quite interesting...
but i still cannot say for sure one way or the other.
anywho~~ thanks for the input everyone


 

neofob on 2001-05-17 13:23 [#00006635]



I did it. I'm sorry. It will happen again.


 

\/\/ooÆ’erAttack!!! from Milan on 2001-05-17 15:33 [#00006636]



XePha88: I have a question for you.
Are you on Napster yet or not? Some week ago I saw your user
list and it was really good, so I added your nick to my hot
list.
In this period I'm not able to find you again, it's a
pity... :(

wooÆ’er



 

Springymajig from New Zealand (www.mp3.com/aureus) on 2001-05-17 21:54 [#00006650]



If that classes as music, I must be in hell.


 

[REFLEX] from Western Canada on 2001-05-18 00:13 [#00006656]



like I said to you Xepha, its just Satan talking to you..
althoug nowadays with call waiting and answering machines
its a little hard for the prince of darkness to get his
message across.


 

5is6 from +-=0 on 2001-05-18 05:05 [#00006666]



For more halarious antics, move your cursor up 6 spaces or
so for my side-aching commentary on the answering machine
dilema. You wont miss it.


 

Syllable#5 on 2001-05-18 19:42 [#00006731]



No, missed it.


 

XePhA88 from a very bad fucking mood on 2001-05-19 13:55 [#00006773]



okay, i'm just fucking sick of this now... just leave it
alone... you all can just leave me alone now... buh-bye


 

[REFLEX] from Western Canada on 2001-05-19 18:32 [#00006792]



Ofcourse, it all just turns to shit. I remember when this
message board was Æ’ucink decent.... well it is now too, nut
its not the same.
