how was the release of hangable auto bulb, rdj album and girl boy ep? my first "expected release" was druqks (i cant belive it was already four years ago) and all those rumours and expectatiion on analord make me think about how could it be with those special albums... was there so much expectation? how did you live the announcement, the releasing, the new sound of afx, etc...? what did you think about it/them at first listening? what did you feel from such albums so different from his previous i care? Hab was first, if imnot wrong. how was it took, as it is should not be and easy listening in 95 and it was only 3000 copies or kinda... blablabla you understand what i mean... i want your experiences mates! howhenwhatwhy |

it's a lot different from how it was. only a few years back you didn't get to hear it before you bought it, now it's all too easy to get hold of a copy before its release date. |

I don't think there was any announcement of HAB, I only saw it one day by chance in Sister Ray records. *Gets out slippers* unless you hung around the record shops you didn't really know what was coming, and you couldn't really rely on the NME or the "Dance Music" press to let you know. "Girl/Boy" was a classic, but I didn't like the b-sides. RDJ Album I liked but wasn't as good as ICBYD, too short and samey. I went to see him play about this time and he performed "Come to Daddy", I thought "Yes, that's a good track, I bet the fucker won't release it". |

mmm interesting... at the begining it was like this for me... not getting info, just going to shops and finding new and unknown afx releases (released long time ago tho...). that was a nice time of freedom and surprises...ah! |

I read about the release of the first Hangable Auto Bulb in Melody Maker (this was when it wasn't utter utter shite) and that it was going to be very limited, so I quickly reserved a copy at my local indie store. Bought it the day it was released. With the second ep I did the same but all the copies the store got were flawed and unsaleable. Luckily I was going to Newcastle later that week and found a copy in Volume records or I'd have been stuffed. |

It was pretty exciting at the time. I read about it in the Melody Maker too, and got geared up to visit my indiestore (in the way only a 15 year old with a newfound joy in recordcollecting can). I had no idea if the shop had gotten HAB1 yet, but me and the shopkeeper had a verbal agreement about him reserving me a copy of anything Aphex he got hold of. Luckily my trip was not in vain and I took the train home with HAB & Donkey Rhubarb promo. Same story with HAB 2 (Except the promo) During the next couple of months, I saw both copies of HAB sitting in the Techno/Ambient section. And one day I bought them again out of pity and lack of other interesting records. I didn't know what to expect, but I read about this new mutant form of jungle/drum n bass, so I had a little feeling. But it was just a smarter or more tounge in cheek type of jungle, so it was no struggle to get into it. That's it I guess. |

does anyone else think milkman sounded like it belonged on hab 2? |
||||||||
|
|

|

Not played @ 33, which I started doing when I got it (and still do). But maybe on 45, yes. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
ah! i would be so happy with a copy of hab... both releases are sooooo amazing... not at the milkman thing, royg... |
||||||||

would anybody agree that hangable autobulb 1 was the first "drill & bass" (i hate the term, but im using it anyway) record? if this is completely incorrect i'd love for somebody to list other albums sounding similar from before or around the same time period. |
||||||||

Didn't Tom Jenkinson do some stuff on Spymania that predated HAB? Atleast Luke Vibert had his Plug moniker that was drill (atleast in the musicpress at the time), and the Wagon Christ Redone EP had the first RDJ drill remix and that was released before HAB, if my memory servers me right. |

Start listening to Vlari. Actually hack your own head off and film it as some sort of comment on people accepting things they see as being real. |

"Didn't Tom Jenkinson do some stuff on Spymania that predated HAB?" was burning tree the compilation that collected these together?if not, have they been re-released on anything? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Burning n Tree was a compilation of those EPs, yes. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

I've heard various arguments. Usually that it was the Plug EPs or Aphex's Remix of Spotlight, or the early Squarepusher stuff. Lets just say a few people were doing similar things at the same time. |
||||||||
|
|

|

...and that, by chance, they were close friends. |

" Actually hack your own head off and film it as some sort of comment on people accepting things they see as being real. " <---- you sound like the fox news coverage of the beheading hoax, are you a fan of Geraldo? |

i found an aphex dj set in chicago @ the metro in august of 1994, i think, on slsk where he plays weird old folk/pop for half and hour before firing an universal indicator song, and to my shock he plays mashed potatoes and wabby legs or custodian discount from HAB! now maybe the date is incorrect but if those were already completed in august 1994 it's even more ahead of it's time than i thought |
||||||||

Interesting, but it's not unlikely that he made those tracks in 94. It can take a long time before tracks appear on a official release. |

Dear old Berwick Street... Sister Ray, Selectadisc, Reckless, ... I never bought anything in Ambient Soho though, they only ever seemed to have 4 records in stock. |

where's this? |

|

That's Selectadisc in Nottingham I reckon. I spent 4 hours and £110 in there when I went last year. I only went in for a quick look. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
haha! why doesn't that surprise me? :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
is selectadisc a chain then? or what? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no, there are only 2 stores, 1 in london which is very small, and one in nottingham which is smallish but has a large selection of hard to find cds and a nice vinyl section upstairs. it won the best indie record store last year. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It's one of the best places for vinyl in the country! Though I'd say that Vinyl Exchange in Manchester is better for CDs. Or it was, not been for ages. Too long. |

I'd say that Vinyl Exchange in Manchester is better for CDs. that sounds a bit odd... :) might check out manchester music shops, only 40mins on the train. piccadilly's in manc as well, isnt it? |
||||||||

|
|
Yes, I think so. Also Pelicnneck is/was there. (Pelicanneck being the physical Boomkat) |
||||||||

|

is it as good as woolworths in carlisle? select-a-disc doesn't even have a pick n mix! |
