Melodies From mars intented to be used in videogames or as a follow-up to I Care Because You Do, but was replaced by Richard D James Album instead. So he made both of those albums at the same time right? Then why do they sound sooo different from each other?! There's like NO way you can compare those albums with each other imo... it's just something I've noticed, maybe you guys can share your opinion on this... |

anyone? |

I agree. Well done. |

yeah i like mfm, they are just different styles he picked (his nose) the style he wanted to release at that time |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
Most of the MFM tracks are erm...they sound like a bunch of started tracks to me that he never bothered fiishing...dunno though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
exactly! That's what I was thinking of! RDJA is so much better than MFM imo. The quality of RDJA is 10 times better! Then again, that's probably why MFM wasn't released... |
||||||||
|

Your right Nexus 6 Although you got to admire the funkiness and the coolness of MFM, and in terms of recording quality RDJA is 100000 times better. But keep in mind, that the MFM songs were ripped from a tatty old tape that had been passed around to god knows how many computer companies |

"But keep in mind, that the MFM songs were ripped from a tatty old tape that had been passed around to god knows how many computer companies.." mmmm I didn't know that |

i like the simplicity of mfm. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
was that sarcasum Nexus...if so you got me and if it isn't yeah it is true, MFM was originally suppost to be a computer soundtrack |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It is an interesting listen, if only to see how great tracks sound in the beginning, but I stand by my theory that they are largely unfinished. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
simplicity doesn't do it for me most of the time, I needs something that amazes me, something that needs time to be figured out... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
MFM sounds different because it's VIDEOGAMES SONGS as you had stated. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it wasn't sarcasm |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"MFM sounds different because it's VIDEOGAMES SONGS as you had stated." And why would that be? There are no rules or anything for making music for videogames, a lot of videogames use normal tracks that are already or could easily be on an album... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
alot of tracks now use normal songs. take into consideration the time in which the MFM tracks were made. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
nexus 6----simplicity usually doesnt do it for me either, but in this case or maybe im just totaly stoked to have the tracks :0) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that's the thing, I dunno when they were made... |
||||||||
|
|

Early 1994 |

Nah, I think if Aphex Twin had sent it to ANY computer games company they would have bit his hand off, if only to have his name associated with their product. I honestly do think it is a bunch of unfinished unreleased tracks that have leaked...and because they are so basic they have been tied to a story about RDJ wanting to make music for a computer game. |

november 37th 1782 |

in between ...i care because you do and the RDJ Album 1995 actually...whoops |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, that's like 6 years ago.... Playstation was already out by then right? And playstation uses normal songs most of the time... If he'd made those tracks before the 90's I'd understand. But that was 1994, he could've at least made some better melodies and beats... imo |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
7 or 8 years ago...and the playstation came out in about 97 in the US and Europe, so it was still firmly the MegaDrive and SuperNES era. |

ahhhh~~~~~~BE"LIE"VE. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
ok my conclusion: MFM is a weak unfinished album and therefor it wasn't released, RDJA was way better and it'll always be one of my favorite Aphex Twin albums... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I sometimes enjoy MFM tho |

RDJ is way better. I think there is a reaseon why MFM wasn't released. Not very good, but kinda funny... |

MfM was NOT intended to be a soundtrack for a videogame or was ever sent to any videogame companies. That was just a rumour/opinion of someone who heard it and it stuck. It was given to a select few individuals, one of which trusted it to someone who couldn't be trusted. Joyrex: 1 -- rest of you lot: nil :O] Murray: What in the hell are those things in your avatar? They're cool |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
there's no way i'll ever believe that that one track on MFM is a demo version of logon rock witch and joyrex: it's venom from marvel superheroes, i do believe |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
RDJA sounds like videogame music too. i mean the songs are great but the sounds used sound like snes |
||||||||
|
|

heres my theory...after (and probably during) finishing 'i care...' he started working on a bunch of simple videogame soundtrack-inspired tracks (he's always seemed like a big videogame fan) for fun...assembled them into a possible future album... but somewhere along the way..met up with squarepusher..and if the little bit on the back of 'feed me' is true...was blown away...enough so that he took tom's inspiration and went and developed his own style of 'drill n bass' another factor to consider is that a little after the release of icbyd...the wire had this thing where they sent a bunch of tracks by a few experimental artists (aphex included) to stockhausen...to see what he had to say about the artists he had inspired and to possibly offer some advice (i think it was called 'advice to clever children') and aphex was dissed pretty bad by stockhausen for using 'old repetitive post-african rhythms' (the aphex tracks he heard were ventolin and alberto balsalm..and maybe a few from saw2) in aphex's response...he said that he was kinda disappointed...(and he made some snide remark about people not being able to dance to the piece stockhausen suggested he listened to) but i think stockhausen's words affected him more than he let on... |

sorry, haven't botherd to finish reading thru every post... MFM was/came out from a tape someone found/aquired someplace/thru someone. I haven't heard all the tracks but i can imagine their alright. Supposedly it was a collection of music to highlight RDJ's ability to produce music for games...i don't think there was an intention 4 it to hit the publics ears..but it did. U know APhex though, they're probably just some extra tracks he had laying about....u know the deal...anywho l8ter |

Only one thing is sure: MFM was the album between ICBYD and RDJ ALBUM. He has 2 tracks of RDJ ALBUM (fingerbib demo and logon rock witch demo). Probably Richard dind't like it so much and didn't release it (as he did for ABB5) How many album as MFM, ABB5, CAUSTIC WINDOW ALBUM, etc... Richard made and we never listened... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
When RDJ made MFM, ABB5, etc... couldn't know that a lot of persons could listen his tracks with download from napster or soulseek... These should be secret unreleased tracks, 'cos Richard couldn't know about Internet's download in 1995/1996, etc... Internet is a great thing and we're all lucky persons... |
