Ah, that's probably my favorite afx release. Definitely one of the things that inspired me to start making music again. Mmm... aphex twin video game music. My copy sounds the same way (very lo-fi, lots of tape hiss and static), and I rather like it that way... --nm On Sun, 30 Sep 2001, Peter Heide wrote:

Not to bring back this thread back to life, but I thought we all determined that with the exception of a couple previously released tracks such as Fingerbib, the tracks on the "Melodies from Mars" mp3 set are NOT AFX tracks. Anyway, that was the verdict of the IDM list two years ago.

That may have been your verdict. It isn't mine. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

can someone email the links to other music mailing lists. I'm looking for electronic, idm, indie rock, post rock and other types of relevant music lists. Also, New York City specific mailing lists would be good too. Thanks in advance.

If it isn't, I'd like to know who it is. ... And I will make sure to read through a few years worth of archives next time I reply to a post just to make sure that I'm not rehashing something. Right. --nm On Sun, 30 Sep 2001, Aaron D Meyers wrote:

a lot of the stuff i've been doing myself has that same flavor. was thinking for a long time that it was sort of substandard and shitty, but then i found i really do enjoy it for certain things. seems to me i read an interview with mira calix some time ago that said as a youngster she only had access to cassette tapes and the subsequent compression that comes with magnetic audio media, and that has a great deal of influence on how she works. made me feel a little justified, and so does some aphex. i dig. not to say that crispy hi-fi is second rate, just that there's a place for everything. :mz · http://posthoc.org/ | http://ecesis.org/ 'if there were two of you, which one would win?'

I couldn't have said it better myself. The production quality of these tracks bring me back to my younger years, and put a big, dumb smile on my face. --nm On Sun, 30 Sep 2001, :m. zero wrote:

the same i felt when i first recorded some of my own tunes. i could only use a crappy taperecorder, but when i played it, it was so different from the original sound on the computer, and much better. i could feel that a lot of subharmonies added to the original sound. bias.

I personally go with the proven idea that they were tracks from a demo tape he mailed around to some video-game companies for the hell of it. not caring about high quality + non-professional release + no professional mastering + demo tape = lo-fi These songs aren't even supposed to exist in public. So, really, the quality is the least surprising thing about them. derek ------- eggytoast.com ------- fresh like pie --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
