the earth can now continue on it's normal course with this wonderful announcement


theguardian posted:

...

At 4pm today (18 August), James tweeted a link that was accessible only through Tor, a browser designed for accessing the deep web (the often shady reaches of the internet not indexed by standard search engines). The link took those using Tor to a page that contained an Aphex Twin image along with information regarding the forthcoming album’s title and tracklist. Although the link can be accessed via a normal browser here, details of the tracks and album title are not available on it.

The announcement rounds off several days of hype around James’s latest release. Over the weekend, the Aphex Twin logo could be seen on a neon green blimp flown above south London. It was also spotted stencilled on the pavement at various locations in New York, including outside Radio City Music Hall.

Despite not releasing an album since 2001, James has previously indicated that he has plenty of unreleased material waiting in the wings. He recently backed a fan campaign, funded over Kickstarter, to obtain and distribute his long lost Caustic Window double LP – completed but never released in 1994.

According to Pitchfork, all of the information contained within the Tor link is official and correct. It can be viewed in the image below.

“Here lies a toppled god —
His fall was not a small one.
We did but build his pedestal,
A narrow and a tall one.”
this is my favorite aphex twin tune

any other stupid artist would have released it on the dark net accompanied with a barely comprehensible 20 page thesis on why the darknet is good and how they're glad to be involved in soemthing so important and freedome of information!!! and richard just drops it on twitter with no explanation

i guarantee you there will be an interview with pitchfork or something where someone asks 'what made you choose...the dark net how was it significant to you??? what was the artistic choice"? and he'll just say something stupid

or nothing at all. i've only found like 2 real video interviews of him online. i dunno their might be more, but the first one pretty much sums up why he doesn't give a poo poo about giving interviews

btw it was probably a couple years ago that he said he recorded about 10 albums that he hasn't released yet and all this time he hasn't released anything because he's been going through a divorce with his wife for "stealing from him".

also reddit

"I've combed the entire source of the site, both the .com and the .onion. There are no easter eggs, no hidden messages. If anything, the site is a little sloppy."

"The site on the Tor network even retains the analytics scripts of the .com site, which is useless on a .onion."
I think THAT is the point: What a wonderful juxtaposition! The .com withholds the album info while the .onion withholds your personal info. Nicely done."

i saw him live a couple of years ago and you literally couldn't see him at all, he was behind video screens and for all i know it could have been one of his roadies

first half of the set was random lazy dj poo poo but the second half was really brutal and good

he doesn't need to do poo poo really to promote. if he releases something after not releasing an album for 13 years, half the world comes to a dead stop

RDJ really helped me get out there to listen and explore new music, then i went back to aphex and figured out 90% of his material was just borrowed techniques from better composers, maybe thats was the point, i don't know ..

i've seen that video before and it's awesome but i don't know how it's supposed to be relevant to what you're saying or if it's supposed to, and i don't know how what you're saying makes sense. maybe there's some stuff that's borrowed techniques, but i wouldn't say most of it sounds obviously derivative of other compositions. can you give me some examples?
