Migrated topic.
While we are on the topic of Aphex Twin, these first two tracks are from Analord - A 3½ hour, 42-track series of recordings on 12" vinyl by artist Richard D. James (most commonly known as Aphex Twin).

I continue to remain obsessed with this release going on 4 years now, with no end in sight.

This track is by Boards of Canada - I know you'll like this one, Sunshine.

Palace Posy is an anagram of APOCALYPSE.

This is a fan-made video which I find to be quite fitting and oddly hypnotic.

The correlation between the two nuclear explosion 'motifs' in the videos, and the reference to Marie Curie is a bizzare coincidence I expect no one to believe wasn't intentional.
 
HELL YES, Analords is some serious business!!!! Don't have all the releases, but my friend and fellow afx fan jon is helping me piece them all together. Chosen Lords was a great introduction to the series. And Palace Posy is one of my faves off of the new one!

If I had to pick a fave off off tomorrow's harvest tho, I think this one would take the cake.
Boards of Canada - Split Your Infinities
 
I have a few of the Analord vinyls, but I forget which - they are in storage and I've never had a chance to play them as I bought them after my turntable broke. I would love to have some FLAC versions. I haven't really listened to any of the bonus tracks that got released afterwards.

Split Your Infinities is excellent, a favourite of mine - but I honestly can't even pick a favourite track of Tomorrow's Harvest, it all works so well together.

That being said, I killed the first listen however - I smoked a super joint and went and lay down with my headphones on... I only got as far as half way through "Jacquard Causeway", and was feeling super uncomfortable and turned it off. I read up on the track and read about it's composition, and now that I understand what's happening, it very listenable - but I wouldn't say it's a favourite.

Here it is, if anyone is interested. This helped alot:

This one is for all the Bieber bashers out there (and dedicated to Anrchy); Beautifully transcendant!

Speaking of Bluetech and Kilowatts...Under the title of their collab project, "invisible
allies" (they put out a crazy album on hypedimensional animals a few years ago :lol: ), they've just released another album

I was having some funny bee syncs yesterday when I came across this

I recently got introduced to the brilliance which is Sun Ra, and thought I would share. It's basically in flight music for interstellar travel.

 
Here is my first completed song ever, so don't laugh at me too hard :cry:

https://soundcloud.com/mattimus-maximus%2Ffirst-track-no-name-yet

But seriously, give me some feedback. I want to get better and I trust nobody more than you music nexians. I am going after a simpler early detroit electro kind of vibe (not huge on the effects so much as building/deconstructing layers and loops, solid melodies, and sublime percussions). I also have no idea how to mix or master (at all.) Please please please give me critical feedback/tips/commentary, it is reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalllyy reaaaaaaaaaallllllyyyy wanted at this point.

Much thanks!

Hey, SR, I think your track is promising but you need to get the mix right. I'm no expert, but I think much detail that you would like exposed get buried in the mud as it is. Someone who knows about mixing can probably improve your track dramatically.

On a side note, based on your moniker and location, I see you are a fellow BoC fan. Isn't this perfection?

Also, have you listened to Gesaffelstein's album Aleph? I think you might like it.

This is pretty special too:
