 | what the hell is this about? I just read that Richie did a soundtrack for Nintendo-games (that he was asked to do in
 1993, later in 1997 he was too busy), and that this
 soundtrack (also containing a short version of a track from
 Richard D. James album) should be free for download.
 
 Anyone got anything on this???

 | This mistake should never be forgotten, and should serve as a warning to others, so that they might never make such a
 grave error as to give the impression that somewhere, out
 there, exists new or unheard Aphex material.

 | I agree w/ the dling live shit. 
 Anyone got track 10 longer than a min!!! it cuts at a min.
 
 Also, whatever happened to the "remastered" melodies cd that
 was floating around? Some fan suposedly did a tweek job to
 it, and leaked it. But never heard it, or if it was any
 good/much better.

 | the Nintendo game thing sounds like a myth to me.  I have heard the same thing, but if it was seriously commissioned
 for a Nintendo game, then why wasn't it written with the
 specialized system sound bank?  It seems like the sonic
 palette is too big, especially for the systems around in
 1993.
 Still, I could be totally off. The music does have a campy,
 video-game like quality to it.  And hey, Trent Reznor
 actually did Quake so I suppose it's not out of the
 question..

 loads of bands scrap an album and start again, that's
 probably what happened.

 | It does sound like the bridge between ICBYD and RDJ album, and it isn't very good, like AB5 isn't that good. It's of
 interest to the tragic fans (and I count myslef amongst
 them) and there's nothing wrong with it, but, there's
 probably a good reason why it wasn't released commercially.
 A reason that should have been extended to Ventolin.

 | if the remastered version is the one stating 24 BIT REMASTER 
 i think it is not very good well done...
 
 1°  why 24 bit when he obviously did it from either
 a) a tape or              b) mp3's coming from a tape...
 
 2° he clearly EQ'ed it too much and compresssed/boosted it
 waaaay tooo muuuch (IMO)
 
 3° noise reduction = baaaad, if only because of the lost
 high freq, i much prefer some hiss to the sound
 
 compare them with the old ones, sorting out volume issues,
 and it's clear that those 24 bit remaster have lost some
 ambiance and subtlety...
