"As soon as I turn off the tape, he literally runs away"

my 1993 interview with the Aphex Twin (a Quietus/Rock's Back Pages co-production)

i was toying a while back with doing the 51 to 100 Albums of the 2000s as a follow up to this and one thing that occurred to me was how nobody anywhere even mentioned the Analord series--granted, a sprawling mass of material that few beyond diehards would have heard every last bit of, but still - at least in part, a splendid return to form.... and as per comments in this vintage interview, a lot of it uncommonly emotional electronica, pensive and introspective

sample E-piphany time [plus update] [plus second update]



that's Cuba Gooding Snr on vocals there



in the top 10 all time dance trax



flipside of Renegade "Terrorist" which is in the Top 20 all time jungle tracks - i think moving shadow actually had "something i feel" as the A-side originally

AH! COMPLETING THE NUUMOLOGICAL SET -- A GREAT UKG VERSION - TIP OFF COURTESY DROID



now we just need a funky version and the chain will be unbroken



there is also a Blevin Blectum song "The Way the Cookie Crumbles Straight From the Horse's Mouth" on her Talon Slalom album that features the Cuba Gooding Snr/Main Ingredient samples,it's a glitchcore love song to J Lesser her boyf

SECOND UPDATE

even more uses of the Cuba Gooding sample in nuumtrax

"and to think they say there's no such thing as the hardcore continuum!" part 1073

oh yeah and check this ace jungle mix by kode9, further affirming the utter irrelevance of the hardcore continuum to present day musical concerns. innit!

sometimes i ask myself what i was doing in 1989... the answer is falling in love (a major distraction,that) and looking in the wrong musical place for my next dose of bliss (i.e. where oh where is the new MBV/Loop/Daydream Nation)... oh i liked the records all right, but never got with the scene itself... still i'm glad i turned on when i did (hardcore 91 )because i might have burned out before jungle even came about
