Muff's Modules & More

featured in one of his sets- confirmed by Warp that he plays new music in his sets:

[ignatius]

he's been playing "new" tracks in his Dj sets for a long time. not always but he's dropped unreleased stuff and different versions of released songs regularly.

last year i read an interview w/the guy from warp saying he was trying to get another record from aphex.. he phrased it in a way that came across as "whatever he wants to give us... if he feels like letting us release another record.. i'm trying to talk him into it..." etc.

i'm up for whatever he puts out under whatever alias. i always hope for new aphex. the Tuss was a nice surprise.

[qu.one]

there's a bunch from that very session on youtube. some really awesome stuff in there - hoping it gets a proper release.

The Tuss. If that's not him, I'll eat my hat.

[rafe127]

+ 1 on The Tuss.

Some of the tracks were even named after synths like the Analord stuff from the same time period.

...and it's dope.

[haricots]

there's a ton of Tuss stuff spread all over Myspace. Look for the The Tuss and then his 'friends'.

I actually enjoyed the Tuss material more than the Analord stuff (although it is good too).

yeah man - those Metz videos are definitely awesome.

i didnt love the tuss though. druqks is amazing. i saw alarm will sound do aphex a few years ago and that was also amazing.

most performers who are billed as DJs tend to do some type of hybrid live set, but sometimes i see people who literally hit play on a pre-recorded track. speaking of mike p, he was one. that was around the bilious paths album. that was disappointing, but Jega also played in that same show and KILLED IT. way too underrated artist.

<3 the tuss, well mostly the original ep
but i loved about 6 of the tracks on the analord series more

there was a hype for a new aphex album last year but it was a hoax

[jeswa]

Much <3 for The Tuss, AFX, Aphex Twin, Gak, Analord, Bradley's Robot, etc...
Seen him "DJ" 5 or 6 times now, first time was '96. Played right before him twice. Always had a really good listen. Every time, w/o fail he drops at least one unreleased track. If you know his music well, there's no doubt that: A. This is definitely an Aphex track & B. I don't have this one. I've heard a bunch that have never seen the light of day. Wonder how many others there are? God bless the child, he taught me everything I know.

Hey Problem Child, been meaning to tell you... nice system.

thanks gents

Yeh, just me playing live. They printed flyers before they realized they priced the flights. High rollin' these promoters, you know? It will definitely be Phoenecia, just missing a little grit.

Interesting, I haven't heard "The Tuss" but I'll defiantely go check it out. I was pretty influenced by early James stuff (Polygon Window, I care Because You Do, Analogue Bubblebath, etc.) but I wasn't a very big fan of Druqs or Analord. I know I'm in the minority there. It just didn't really move me like his older stuff did, or even the Richard D. James albumn did. I'll check out his new stuff, I'm sure it's worth a listen.

[murphythecat]

Is it me, or I've never heard anything that sounded this way from him. I mean, this is emotional stuff, sounding not harsh but clean (sort of). I'm a big fan and hardcore listener of his stuff, and this video is amazing, inspiring, profound, I'm amazed. I didnt thought he was able of such... perfection

I caught my 12 year old sister listening to Polygon Window the other day. I swear I had nothing to do with it


I thought SAWI was the best thing he ever did, follwed closely by the Analord series. The past few days I've been trying again to get into SAWII, ICBYD, RDJA and Druqs. I like them, I just can't love them

[Luka]

i think Drucqs is his best album

but i guess i wasnt really into him all that much till i heard it
