A very intresting album which brings up a lot of questions. What equipment was used? When was it recorded? And who did record it? Is it Aphex's work? Well, i recieved my copy this morning, and have been listening to it most of the time that i am up. The tracks on the MP3 on rephlex.com are Lightworks, Hallo, Everyone and Sweden. In the inlay, there are all the tracks listed and their track names not only for Astrobotnia 1 but for all of them. Here is the rest of the track titles for anyones intrest: Astrobotnia 1 1) Lightworks 2) Hallo 3) Everyone 4) Acidophilus 5) Untitled 6) The Wild Thing 7) Miss June 8) Sweden 9) Applause Astrobotnia 2 1) - 2) - 3) - 4) - 5) - 6) - Astrobotnia 3 1) Muminaa 2) B 3) Acidophilus II 4) Portable Motor Home 5) Drops 6) Thoarse 7) Esther calling Jennifer 8) Bidfus 9) Leftovers 10) C*nt 11) I am Mr. P. How it could be Aphex Twin: There seems to be alot of signature 'old school' Aphex Twin manouvers in the tracks following the first 3. Alot of the same types of sweeping pads from SAW 85-92, and quite a lot ot TB-303 work in one track named Acidophilus that seems very similar to any of the U.I or Gak relases. Plus there is a blatant use of such Drum Machines as TR-606 and TR-808, which we all know Aphex is in posession of. However, most electronic artists are in possesion of these types of Drum Machine. And the track on the last Astrobotnia named 'C*nt' could be a refernce to the Caustic Window song, but we don't have a sound file so this can't be proved. How it couldn't be Aphex Twin: It has come to my attention that Aphex Twin does not seem to put all of his 'Drill and Bass' work on Rephlex Records. He tends to do a lot of his old Analouge Bubblebath styles on there. There is some great use of the 'Snare Rush' technique as we all know in the Astrobotnia demo given to us by rephlex.com, so i would doubt that Aphex would make a new begining now (although he might :s). the last track on Astrobotnia 3 (I am Mr. P.) could be a |

clue to who it could be (perhaps PP Roy). Ovuca I have not heard much of Ovuca's tracks (infact only the first 5 from his new album Afternoon Girl...i think) but it does not seem to be using the same type of techiniques here. So i have nothing to go by :s Although in-light of a recent review of the Rephlex Showcase USA tour on this site, it was said that Ovuca came on and started playing alot of the Astrobotnia tracks. My thoughts: I reckon its a mix of artists, such as Ovuca, PP Roy and maybe Andy Jenkinson. I hope this has been of some help |

HEY man! put that up on soulseek! i'm on there as nanotech, i'd love to get my hands on it before i buy it! the reflex radio show is too cool! i want to preview more of the cd though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|
|

|
|
Yo cop that shit! Its dope!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
And its not Aphex Twin its Ovuca Maybe the second part got some AFX tho.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
cheers Archrival Dont know exactly what it meant.....but thanks all the same |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Maybe it's: Mr. P. = Mr. Paradinas |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
its a possibility |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
isn't ovuca a guy called aleksi perälä? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It is offical Astrobotnia IS Ovuca |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think he is called that, so it would explain the last track of Astrobotnia 3 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes...i didnt even think there was still a debate...it seems pretty certain that it is indeed ovuca now |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
astrobotnia is touring on the magic bus... you'll see then who's it |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
then why aren't these ovuca albums? it doesn't make sense. there has to me more to it. it can't be just ovuca. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
kinda like saying, with "polygon window" for example.... why doesnt Ricard make that a Aphex Twin release.. i guess Ovuca is doing a similar thing to what Richard has done, release material thru a different name. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
few words: put it on soulseek, 192 kps |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i see your point, and i do recall aphex or someone saying ovuca is very prolific. but unlike early aphex he doesn't release a lot of things per year; the last ovuca album came out a year ago, to me it'd make more sense to release astrobotnia as ovuca. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Maybe ovuca did the album and Richard produced it? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ok...now I cant wait anymore....PUT UP THE DAM ALBUM so we can hear it!!! Soulseek, a server whatever, just let us hear it!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and YES for the 200th time OVUCA IS ASTROBOTNIA. track nr 1 on pt 3 is even called Muminaa. Ovuca said in a interview that he loves the Mumin trolls. Ovuca has played as Astrobotnia all the Rephlex tour!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yay I'm getting this tomorrow! Can't wait! |
||||||||
|

|
|

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
any of you ppl who are getting it in the next days going to put it up on soulseek for us .nu'ers? |

Astrobtnia-=) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
nanotech why not buy it? you can get it for $12.something on bn.com and if you order 2+ items shipping is free. maybe ovuca is touring as astrob for part 1, richard as astrob for part 2, and andy jenkinson as astrob for part 3? |

I got my astobotnia this morning along with a thrilly AFX t-shirt. What a good day. It is hot finally in England too! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
YAY!!! looks like everyone's getting an AFX TShirt with their order.... That's a pretty cool deal as those shirts generally cost £15 or so... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh yeah....what sort of T shirt is it?..the one with the logo x3 making a kinda face on the front with the SAWII Aphex Twin on the back?... or something different? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
its the logo x3 making a kinda face on the front with the SAWII Aphex Twin on the back. mine is black. fits perfectly... they know me well down there at Warp :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
smooth...yep, wearing the same one at the moment... They are pretty good quality TShirts...mines a bloody good fit and that cool as nothing ever fits me well (being a skinny bastard)... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
but am tempted to order AS from Warp now (or whenever WARPMART comes back up)... was gonna pick it up next weekend but might as well order from WARP & see if I get a goodie as well... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
lol! same, im pretty skinny aswell. its probably normal to be skinny in the IDM/Electronic music world. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think you might have got the wrong end of the stick! I order the t-shirt as well as the record. I was chuffed as I had never owned an afx shirt before. Sorry Jand I think I must have got your hopes up. Anyway the T looks pretty well made with a nicw afx logo on the label. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh, I see...np.. Just that a couple of other people have mentioned getting a free AFX T shirt so I thought you were another one...heh, you noticed that little logo as well, wish all my clothes had that on...(I've got loads of John Richmond clothes just because his little designer logo says "John"...sad, I know..;).. Think I'm gonna order AS anyway; not sure if the shops around here are gonna get it in or not...and I'm pretty eager to have a listen.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i went down to Soho last weekedn and they hadn't even heard of it so I guess chelmsford might be the same? And anyway I have no qualms with WARPMART. Even if RDJ doesn't like them anymore I think they do a good job. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so why isnt astrobotnia on soulseek???? i cant believe anyone hasnt put it up yet? weird! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah its strange, but I think rephlex has created this extreme locker that makes it impossible to convert the cd into mp3s ;) rephlex albums and electronic music albums in general use to end up on soulseek like 2-3 week before official release date, dunno about this one, I heard a lot of cats complaining about that its not on SS. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Somebody put it up so those cheap bastards can get it!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I havent got mine yet :( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i got mine last wendsday, the first three tracks are in the demo i think. btw ripping worked without problems. i won't ut it up due to my weak connection, sorry |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
maybe Rephlex have asked Nir to filter it out... I know Warp requested something similar but NIR didn't feel it was worthwhile but might have rethought for a label as small as Rephlex... I can't even use SS at the moment :(...doesn't seem to work on my girlf PCs for some reason, hopefully I'll get it sorted soon...Not really that bothered as I've got a load of CDs already on their way to me from WARP & EBAY... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
this has all been very suspicios lately! Rephlex are up to something. The two guys who have been recently posting are something to do with them (maybe). Rephlex have been trying a strange marketting strategy too. I would say that AFX is at work. |
