Aphex Twin/Richard D. James has deleted the tracks that he’d previously shared on SoundCloud and is now offering them as a free download.
You can preview the tracks, previously shared by ‘user48736353001’ on SoundCloud, via this YouTube embed:
The tracks are also available to download.
when the download finishes and i go to unzip the file it says archive “damaged” and I am unable to extract anything.. any thoughts?
Please tell me someone made a torrent of them all…
Why do you need a torrent. There is a freaking download link right there.
Man, is my face red…. I totally didn’t see the link. I read through too quickly and missed it. Ooops.
Torrents are generally quicker downloads because of the peer-to-peer architecture & decentralization of the download. Its downloading the whole file from one server versus downloading pieces from everyone who has downloaded that torrent. but ¯\_(?)_/¯
@colin: Not sure. I can confirm that the download works and unzips properly. Maybe try it with a different unzipping utility, particularly if you’re using your OS’s built-in option. I used The Unarchiver to unzip on my Mac.
Keka works awesomely on Mac, and it’s FREE!!!
These sound like student doodlings
Exactly, lets stop putting everything he does on a pedestal. He managed to double the going price of Yamaha FS1R’s overnight… its getting ridiculous
Who’s putting these tracks on a pedestal? As I long time fan of his work, I appreciate them for what they are, and considering he’s giving them away free, so does he. As a visual artist, I also appreciate seeing other artists sketches and processes, to me this is similar. Like every artist, not everything he’s done is great, but he’s released some excellent records in his career.
He also took them off soundcloud… for a reason
We *like* ‘student doodlings’! 🙂
Mega wouldn’t let me download them so I found a torrent at https://kickass.to/aphex-twin-user48736353001-soundcloud-t10618775.html if that helps anyone else out.
He’s back:
