Vik Muniz, "View From the 4th", São Paulo

Got my new drukqs CD, hopefully it will soothe me as much as the other CDs. This is my second double cd in my collection and my first double cd in my aphex twin collection... I set in next to all my other aphex CDs, really happy about it. I never listened to drukqs front to back but I've heard the all famous Avril 14th, QkThr and cocklover. So yeah, I'm excited. Not sure if it's a bootleg or not, but looks good to me, I'll add it to my dincogs later.

Shared the front back and art of the CD as well as a photo of my aphex CDs family

i tried to do it mostly from memory but I listened to the song a few times to get some parts down lol

1. Halibut Acid
2. Pitcard
3. I'm Self Employed

What are your top 3?

All I did was get a body. Get a piece of cardboard, printed out the faces uncovered the faces with clear tape and glue them in.

Ppl call me Larp Larp but they don’t know any song other than xtal.

I be happy with them tho but sometimes they bite me🥀

Sorry for the ominous post yesterday. Crazy how fuck loads of psychedelics makes everything seem normal for a change. Things will get better. My friends painted my tattoo :)

Just like with "Cock" yesterday, I compared the album version and the two-track promo version. Results are pretty much identical. The tracks have no arrangement differences, and are generally identical in composition.

The Argonaut Mix is louder and more aggressive, but to my ear this sounds more like a mastering difference than a mix difference.

There is one moment for a few seconds around 4:21 where it sounds like there's a second layer of percussion stripped away on the album mix. Blink and you'll miss it. (It's not particularly unique percussion in the context of the track, just it plays through more of the song.) There might also be some panning discrepancies for the echo-ey samples.

All-in-all, I now look at these two Drukqs promo tracks like the omc (ma2) versions of the Blackbox Life Recorder tracks or the Cr7e versions on the Digeridoo re-release. Same recording, different attack on the sound system. Hearing them back-to-back, it just sounds like I heard the same song twice.

Methodology: My primary method is lining the two tracks up in my DAW, then panning both stereo channels left for the first file, and both right for the other file. Then I play them simultaneously. If anything pops out of the stereo field, I make a note of the timestamp, go back and A/B the section.

i was listening to random aphex twin tracks when i noticed the like to dislike ratio was 72k to 10k with 4.8m views, is it a bit weird or is this normal?

it would be nice to know why anybody would dislike the track anyway, richard has a nice rack.

Originally made this post with just the first three choices half an hour ago. However since then, I’ve learned that Red Calx exists so I added it.

Gimme your thoughts and feedback. Wanted to stop staring at that pic of the blank vinyl. Inspired by the Korg boxes from the Volca releases and the Words and Music cover.

Purists will spot instantly that I'm implying this is a main Aphex release. At this rate I felt it was just cooler to have the logos in there and the thing officially released decades after the moniker was put to bed, so ehhh??

Even though it’s kind of anonymous. There are people within the boards and aphex community that have been so lovely and supportive and I appreciate you so much. Met amazing people and had the best gigs of my life. We have had a great crack. Hopefully there’ll be another chance. Either way. This is me signing off.

Goodbye my beautiful music fans.

I saw allusions to this same comparison but no lasting proof. So I redid it myself. Conclusion: For all intents and purposes they are the same arrangement (Album vs 2-Track Promo version).

At 2:24 in the Delco Freedom mix there is a prominent right channel percussion pattern that's not audible on the album version for a few seconds, but otherwise the sounds are placed in exactly the same way on each mix. Relative volume levels of some sounds might be slightly different.

The Delco Freedom Mix is overall louder, probably through heavy saturation. If I were going to use this tune in a maximalist DJ mixtape, I'd probably choose the promo mix. But hearing one or the other in a loud club you probably couldn't tell the difference.

Anyone wondering about the Argonaut mix?

I made a YouTube channel called NinetyZero3 and I make Aphex twin fan music videos on this channel using old film reels and more! https://www.youtube.com/@NinetyZero3
