nancykitten on 2002-01-16 07:50 [#00070544]



this has probably been asked before but is there any obscure
sites containing hard to get sexy Aphex tracks ?
*anticipates*


 

george from japan on 2002-01-16 07:53 [#00070547]

Archrival on 2002-01-16 07:56 [#00070549]

Intruder from chicago on 2002-01-16 08:19 [#00070554]



Mmmm. heres an off the wall idea. how bout you go BUY his
shit?

Crazy aye? try it, it works.


 

titsworth_courier from washington, dc on 2002-01-16 08:58 [#00070563]



she's a girl, she doesn't buy aphex twin cd's. she has come
to daddy, richard d. james album, and drukqs. i mean,
please, what else IS there worth buying? nothing.

anyway, valid question - where can i download the first peel
session? seeing as how that's not on a cd that could be
bought, it's fair and "square" to download it. =D =d +D ?D


 

jand from Chelmsford,Essex,Uk on 2002-01-16 09:14 [#00070566]

Caserol Joe the Chubby from Minneappleseed on 2002-01-16 11:11 [#00070606]



why does one look for sexy in music? i don't get it.


 

jand from Essex on 2002-01-16 11:14 [#00070607]



Yep, I know...but how could I say no to someone called
nancykitten...



 

nancykitten on 2002-01-16 18:53 [#00070878]



good lord...


 

nancykitten on 2002-01-16 18:56 [#00070880]



i thought aphex fans were intelligent, my pre-conceptions
are going through the blender : (


 

jand from Essex on 2002-01-16 19:00 [#00070882]



I know how you feel...


 

Phobiazero from Sweden on 2002-01-16 19:03 [#00070884]



Yeah, all this bullshit is pretty sad. Why won't you all
come to this MB in peace? Are you sarcastic in real life as
well?


 

Ophecks from Nova Scotia on 2002-01-16 19:32 [#00070897]



I find most Aphex fans have a healthy dose of sarcasm. And
most are smart.

Also... most are cruel!!!!!!


 

nacmat from spain on 2002-01-16 20:24 [#00070911]



anyway, there are lots of cds that depending on the country
are impossible to find and thats were mp3 makes its
function.
sorry nancy... about certain comments here.
i cant help you anyway.


 

nancykitten on 2002-01-16 20:42 [#00070918]



cha ching.


 

nancykitten on 2002-01-16 20:43 [#00070921]



thanks anyway : )


 

Caserol Joe the Chubby from Minneappleseed on 2002-01-16 21:31 [#00070941]



No, honestly, what makes it sexy, besides some guy with a
deep voice singing "let's get it on." An example?


 

Caserol Joe the Chubby from Minneappleseed on 2002-01-16 21:32 [#00070942]



I mean, I know what romantic and sexy music in general would
sound like, I just can't picture any of the styles RDJ
covers being sexy is all.


 

titsworth_courier from washington, dc on 2002-01-16 22:32 [#00070960]



i for one bought the US out-of-print cd's Classics and SAW
85-92 on ebay dirt cheap used and in good condition. it's
not that hard. i don't mean to be "cruel" but there are
really only certain afx mp3's that should be downloaded, the
ones that are unreleased or deleted (ie: 2000 copies pressed
on vinyl, knuhmean). for my part i am SORRY for mocking you,
but it's just that so many people stiff warp and rephlex for
money by downloading or burning the albums.


 

Jarworski from Wales on 2002-01-16 22:39 [#00070963]



Hmmm, dunno about that, Aphex has more than enough cash, he
fucking hates Warp, he'd probably be happier if none of his
CDs were in the shop, so what the fuck, rip it all.


 

Jarworski from Wales on 2002-01-16 22:42 [#00070965]



I do own about 12 or so RDJ cds btw, I'm not a total cunt,
but I don't preach to others :o)


 

acyl18 from the other places on 2002-01-16 22:59 [#00070970]



you might like my Windowlicker remix... it starts out
mellow, gets dead sexy, has an orgasm (a small one), then
gets hallucinatory and a bit raunchy after that.... I know
I'm always posting about listening to my shit, but I'm a
narcissist, and I can't help myself. Besides, I really
think you'd like it!

You can grab TONS of mp3s off of me if you wish! I have all
rare Aphex mp3s, so do many other people that frequent here,
or atleast they used to. I think.

>:D


 

titsworth_courier from washington, dc on 2002-01-16 23:14 [#00070980]



just cos RDJ hates warp doesn't mean we have to. warp is the
label that gave us aphex twin, autechre, squarepusher, boc,
plaid, plone, red snapper, etc. etc. ask not what warp can
do for you, but what you can do for warp. ;)

as for rdj having enough money, it's not an issue of
overpaying him - it's paying him at all. ripping him off is
not cool. it's not right that pop artists around the world
can spend 2 weeks in a studio and sing words they didn't
write over music they didn't perform and make millions of
dollars while true artists get little to no money because
their fans are smart enough to know how to download their
songs off the net or burn albums.


 

Jarworski from Wales on 2002-01-16 23:16 [#00070983]



Fair enough, but he said he doesn't mind, so rip Aphex and
no other Warp artists, how's that?
Me, I do it to everyone, fuck it, 99% of people with PCs
have no morals


 

acyl18 from the other places on 2002-01-16 23:17 [#00070985]



well said titsworth!


 

|REFLEX| from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada on 2002-01-16 23:18 [#00070987]



Not true my friend, mostly if should be ok to rip artists
off, they get paid anyways, through the record company and
the stores that buy the CD in the first place. Its
independant artists running their own record companies and
such, Indie labels, that get hurt when you Rip music.


 

acyl18 from the other places on 2002-01-16 23:20 [#00070988]



of course, artists don't really make their loot from record
sales- any real cash comes from touring, merch, etc.


 

|REFLEX| from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada on 2002-01-16 23:24 [#00070990]



Yup, so it is fine to rip artists and their mp3s for
whatever use you wish. I do it. Tons of people do it. There
are about 4 artists I enjoy that I actually pay for their
CDs all the time, because they own their own little label to
get away from Corporate America and all that it has to
offer. So to speak...


 

Jarworski from Wales on 2002-01-16 23:27 [#00070992]



I always buy original cds when:

They've just come out
They're from Man's Ruin or Ipecac
I have an extensive collection of that artist's cds

Aside from that...


 

grinningcat from wonderland on 2002-01-16 23:58 [#00070999]



he dosent hate warp, in his last interviews he said he hasnt
got a problem with them.

and he says he release music so that he doents have to do
other shitty jobs. If every1 copied SAW1 and 2 of each
other, he'd wudnt have time to make ICBYD and RDJ etc as
he'd be working in a local McDonalds.

so buying his CD's properly is giving him more power to
create his fantastic music.


 

|REFLEX| from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada on 2002-01-17 01:25 [#00071035]



Not really, once again he gets money from the original
record contracts he had for those deals. As well the store
buys the copies and then re sells them. He already maked
money.


 

nancykitten on 2002-01-17 01:37 [#00071044]



remember i said "hard to get" tracks, meaning ones that are
rare and unreleased. i have many aphex twin cds which i
bought in record shops so calm down :)
and sorry about using the word "sexy" - i didnt mean to
derive such anger. ta.


 

titsworth_courier from washington, dc on 2002-01-17 02:16 [#00071057]



don't be dumb
stores don't order cd's if there's no interest in them
someone said drukqs has sold 20K copies
i bet 100K have heard it at least

i'm not saying RDJ is poor or that he loves money. what i'm
saying is, it's obtuse to claim that it makes no difference
in an artist's income if you buy the music or not. ask
anyone who has ever released a cd, whether on their own
record label, no label, or a major label. if your shit
doesn't sell then you don't make any money. advances need to
be paid back. artists almost always make a percentage of
what their cd's sell, for instance 10% for rappers back in
the 80s, and up to 50% for some artists today depending on
their contracts and involvement with the label. burning cd's
by anyone takes money away from the people whose music you
enjoy. not only are they deprived income, whether they need
it or not, their record labels are sent the wrong message.
it's impossible to count how many people have burned an
album for free whereas the industry has an almost exact
number of albums sold. if everyone's burning an album
instead of buying it, the label doesn't know if people like
it or not. what does that mean? look at nin. there's a
financially well off group with a history of commercial and
critical success. their last album was burned by a lot of
people. as a result, their tour and music videos were funded
by the artists themselves instead of the label because they
were afraid of wasting money on a group without a
statistically successful new release. what happened? they
had the most popular concert tour of the year and made some
great music videos. the fans are out there, but if you
swindle the artists they get fucked over. the less you buy,
the less promotional power and advance money they get. i
can't imagine how anyone with a conscience could think
ripping off their favorite musicians is cool given these
facts. and whether you want to acknowledge them or not, they
are facts. merchandise and touring brings in tons of money,
but not all artists tour or make shirts. and not all artists
are given the money to be able to tour or make shirts
because of assholes who won't spend $10-15 on a cd they
enjoy. if you're going to be a prick and do that, you have
absolutely no right to complain about any popular musical
groups or record labels because it's your fault that they're
doing what they do.


 

zmalloc from wherever on 2002-01-17 04:35 [#00071089]



Ok, so 100k have heard it because they can download it...
but if they couldn't would those 80k have baught it?

Probably not, they probably would have heard it from their
friend who has bought it... and or got a copy from them....
remember the days of getting TAPES (heh) from your friends?

Real fans are gonna buy it regardless. People just getting
into will probably download, maybe not buy it, or maybe
become a fan and start getting his albums.



 

zmalloc from wherever on 2002-01-17 04:38 [#00071091]



the last nin album sucked, that why i didn't get it...

I own PHM, broken, fixed, the downward spiral, etc...
everything up until recently. I don't like the direction he
has taken and did not purchase (or even download the fragile
and his newer stuff)

I re-purchased broken and fixed after losing my old ones
because they are awesome albums...



 

zmalloc from wherever on 2002-01-17 04:42 [#00071092]



never mind the nin post, i misread what you were saying.

But, although I didn't like the album, I would have still
gone to see NIN live. And I'm sure many other people
feel/felt the same way.


 

titsworth_courier from washington, dc on 2002-01-17 04:43 [#00071093]



i just used nin as an example of an act with lots of money
who is still affected by piracy (like aphex twin). i love
nin and 'the fragile'. i own all the releases and his last
album was my favorite. however i don't bother criticizing
people anymor for their personal dislike of 'the fragile' -
it is a departure from his old sound, as broken was to phm,
tds was to broken, the perfect drug was to tds, etc. anyway,
i'm not saying people should make generous donations to
their favorite artists. it's just a simple matter of having
legitimate copies of albums readily available in stores or
online - it's a really simple concept.


 

titsworth_courier from washington, dc on 2002-01-17 04:48 [#00071094]



as for your first post, the point people on this message
board and all over the internet are making is that they have
the technology to replicate albums on disc without having to
pay - and so they don't, regardless of how much they like
it. i think it's naive to assume that every single person
who has heard and enjoyed drukqs has purchased a legitimate
copy. i know a few people who love it and have yet to or
will not buy a real copy. while i feel people should be
allowed to burn whatever they please, i do make a point to
urge people to speak to the record industry (who are very
hard of hearing, as we all know) with their wallets and to
take a sort of pride and honor in their musical preference
by aiding the artists they enjoy. it sucks to have to think
of it politically, but it's not a fair world and this is
what i feel helps things out.


 

DubleOSyx from The East on 2002-01-17 06:30 [#00071104]



Even when I buy buy a cd, I rip it into mp3. Just in case
some cunt steals it. I Don't even share mp3's on the
internet. I have almost all of RDJ's music in mp3 fomat,
but I still buy the records when I can find/afford
them...But I still want Q-Chastic damnit...


 

nancykitten on 2002-01-17 07:06 [#00071110]



*owns an oh so real, valid, legitimate, original, record
company endorsed, copy of the Aphex Twin release - Drukqs*


 

titsworth_courier from washington, dc on 2002-01-17 07:19 [#00071113]



nothing wrong with having mp3's of cd's you own. or mp3's in
general - i am just saying if you really enjoy a whole album
you should buy it. i have something like 6000 mp3's on my
hard drive, all songs i don't have on cd. when i get really
into an album i buy it and delete the mp3's. a lot of afx
stuff isn't available, like nancykitten meant, so until
they're re-released i don't see anything wrong with enjoying
them the only way available..

(i am not a prude!)
