Anbody knows more about Aphex Twins CD's cover ?? Found an interview in which he says that he has made all his covers by himself ! i know that the Druqks cover was'nt done by him...whats with the others ?? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what so special? i mean i think its the best when you making the cover of your cd, its more true than disiner work. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
wtf?! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the beautiful and highly acclaimed artwork from GAK was done by the designers republic, it's obvious that you should turn to them when you're out of original ideas yourself, æ's anti ep is another original and brilliant example for this |
||||||||

I think the drukqs sleeve photography was done by him, but my brother has my copy so I can't check. |

i had to wipe down my screen after the sarcasm oozed out onto it |

ok...lets make a discussion like many peolpe here... wtf ?!" omgdfjshnsg sgsighio |

Yeah, he did the Drukqs stuff From the back of my CD case: "Music and Photographs by Richard D. James" |

rotmfflmmfao! |

what sarcasm? :) i bet that neither you nor i could come up with the idea of making the whole thing purple!, and in addition to that packing the cd version in a cardboard sleeve! it's only a rumour but i heard they even make purple pants now these days, i'm not sure whether this is just a sick joke or if it's actually true though |

Gak, 26 Mixes for Cash - Designers Republic Come to Daddy, Windowlicker - Chris Cunningham Ventolin EP's, On Ep's - Illustration by Dan Parkes, rest done by Deisgners Republic drukQs, RDJ album, ICBYD - By him i guess |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
actually the way GAK was designed was in the form of a serie in which more artists were promoted. A line of unknown artists (by then) with warps intention to just appreciate the music instead of the artist reputation or the artwork. That's why he released it as the unknown GAK. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
dude, you think that photo on RDJ album he made by himself? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Well it was by him and Johnny Clayton. Forgot to mention that |
||||||||
|

drukqs: manuel sepulveda http://www.manuelsepulveda.com/ maybe aphex took the pic, but the cover design was made by sepulveda |
||||||||
|

|
|
yeah like the unknown artist 'squarepusher' with the Port Rhombus EP :P |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
dude, like i said, by then former unknown, used to be, was, was was was was was! how many words do you need? you know how old that thing is? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
alright, so he was unknown by then, but they released it in that series 'cause they wanted people to appreciate it for the music not for the artists' reputation? i didn't think he had a reputation back then like i.e. rdj alright enough of this |
||||||||
|
|

ladies and gentleman, our wiseacre is speaking! i think you don't exactly understand what i mean... |

I understand erronous and agree with him morton is either not wanting to understand or just fooling around |

'Another member of the early Rephlex group links the label with that other famous Cornish musical export, recent Fame Academy winner Alex Parks. According to Marcus Scott, who looks after Rephlex's promotional and distribution operation, "her brother Dan Parks did the sleeves for some early Aphex Twin releases like the On and Ventolin singles and Ambient Works 2. He was a local DJ and part of the Rephlex crew". Scott explains that in the early days he would also occasionally don a teddy bear costume as part of Aphex Twin's tour stage show. A small world indeed.' From |

@ martinmh thansk fo that info, will check out.... Did you see my tread on you ? About that Dred Bass Track....What the time Dred.... |

the moving shadow one? yeah, I saw that. Thanks. |

|
ok... |

i'm not fooling around, rdj was already a famous artist, so it makes sense that if warp wanted the people to buy music pure for the music, they did that artwork and an unknown alias (GAK), but tom j. wasn't a famous artist back then right? so they might just as well have made a normal release of Port Rhombus, instead of including him on that purple series, since in this case there is no such thing as that people would 'buy it because of the artists reputation instead of for the actual music' the simple difference is that tom j. wasn't a well known musician (don't tell me: Chaos AD) back then and rdj already did have a reputation, so for the latter it actually made sense to include him in the series :) either me or the world is going crazy :P |
||||||||
|

|
|
chaos a.d. should read 'duke of harringay' |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you don't understand my friend, because of a lack of a squarepusher reputation that name was used for it. That was the whole purpose for that layout, Nobody ('nobody'....) knew tom back then. rdj was just fooling around, as warp didn't even know it was him when the music was sent in. (as i may believe what i have read) i can't believe you're always this bloody minded! No offense! |

|
|
ok what about windowlicker? was that richard d james? or just a woman with his face? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the serie wasnt just for famous artists, who told you that? Like Electric Deaf, not very famous are they? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah you wish don't you.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
haha will you stop it, now you're being 'bloody minded' too whatever that may be, i know that that probably was the first time the SP alias was used but that's not the point! *sigh* *sigh* it's all about that "people shouldn't buy this cause it's an artist with a good reputation but pure for the music", tom j. didn't have a reputation so it wasn't necessary nor did it make sense to include him in this special series, they could've just released port rhombus and people would've also bought it for the music 'cause he wasn't well known back then i know i'm getting in this too much, but i don't see that it's so hard to understand |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you did, in your first post to just appreciate the music instead of the artist reputation or the artwork i think one must be famous to get a reputation |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's as in conceitedness. I'm just stating the obvious. You're laughing at me? I guess that shows enough. Read all the posts and think again. You're sticking on one sentence which you interpretate wrong. That's it, you're freaking me out. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
maybe one should imagine 'if that' and you'll get my point. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
of course i'm laughing, when you start with "ladies and gentleman our wiseacre (??) is speaking" and telling me i'm 'bloody minded', when we just could debate with decent arguments, i tend to take it all a little less serious |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, i do. you just don't see that i guess. I really don't respect people who have this obsessive little need to be right in any single way, willing to stick to one word if they need to. you should know that by the time. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'm just being me mr, pity you don't respect that :) now i'm not going to respond anymore, i think the thread speaks for itself au revoir mon ami |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and you don't see why i called you bloody minded... And if i would say "you're making a fool of yourself" you would respond in the exact same way: "no no, you do" is this your way of reasonable debating, then? don't get mad for that! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
why arguing about any comment done by other people ? Everybody has different thoughts and oppinions.....so let it be.... don't wanted to start a tread like that... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm just being me, as in "i just want to be right", then? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah thats what i mean: everybody has a own interpretation of thinking and right....and and.... so you think your right and morton thinks he's right....you are on a point where is no way out.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
thank you for your wise statement. it is no matter of 'right or wrong' though, but about interpretation. but as daan said, the thread speaks for itself, and i think it does. yeah, let's be the bigger person. That sounds so much fun! la la lalala........ Amen! |
