A·F·X - Orphaned Deejay Selek 2006-08 download free

Solid tracks. Solid AFX release. Comparable to a lot of previous AFX releases. If you aren't into RDJ's AFX releases, you probably won't be into this. If you are into the AFX project, this is on par with those and you will probably be into it. If you are listening to lossy versions, you're missing it. Solid mastering and sound design, the sound textures and shapes are phenomenal. Same as the Cheetah EP, if you can't hear the textures you're missing it. Vinyl or lossless, no joke. My copy is warped and off center, and can hear it a bit but nothing to meltdown about.

This EP is an interesting offering from Richard David James and is a lot of fun to listen to, especially on my system (Pro-Ject 2Xperience SB, Ortofon Cadenza Blue). My copy is a bit warped but fortunately it does not affect its playability. I agree that “Oberheim Blacet1b” is a great track. I enjoy just about everything this unique artist puts out. I gave it five stars!

how many vinyl were pressed?

Enough that reselling for profit at a later point would not be necessary.

Maybe they are but after the outlay, storage costs, inflation, as well as the tying up of money in a item that you are not making interest on prior to selling is what I call a false profit and rather small minded.

You are not speculating on buying a batch and selling them for ridiculous prices 1 year later, are you?

Great tracks, but mostly too short to play out.

Also my copy was slightly warped from brand new....no I don't appreceiate the irony !

so's mine but not unplayable.

I hope this is pressed on 45, there's no way I'm going to listen to this on the speed I've heard it on clips...

Actually it says "33/45" implying that either speed is "okay"

There's a good reason these were orphaned.One or two of the tracks turn into Batman, the others turn into Annie.Listen to them before you buy, and get the tracks you like… and pay for the Umil bonus track.

Oberheim Blacet1b and Simple Slamming B2 are great tunes. Can't stop listening.

Don't take it from me, but Oberheim blacet1b might be the best acid-track known to man. 5 kankersteentjes.

Upon first listen I would say this is the most varied AFX release to date. It's great to have him (and his unique mind) back at work.

Midi Pipe1c Sds3time Cube/Klonedrm - So sweet, reminds me something, somewhere...

My review in two words: Oberheim Blacet1bThis track is doing my head in big time, it fucks my neurons so hard, this is a monster, really. If you don't get it, just listen to it again, and again. It will hit you.Also, Simple slamming B2 = instant boner, so minimal and yet so fucking lush, sounds almost acoustic, like nothing else.And he did this 8 years ago or so. Genius.EDIT:I wanted to add that the 2 tracks discussed above are not the only good ones in my opinion.I also very much like Serge fenix Fendered (but listened too much to it since it was released early), Midi Pipe (brainy dissonant track) and the bonus track "umil 25-01".Regarding the order of the tracks, "dmx acid test" is like a short apt transition track between "serge" and "blacet", it clearly shows the tracklisting has been given thoughts.

stop being so ungrateful, ya c!nts. :P

Loving the really big production and soundstage on these, simple slamin has the best bassline ive heard in years...and Neotekt72 has the best kik drum ive heard ever!Love the chordal work also, solid and great release from the twin.

Most of them sound like they are quite old and were mastered off cassette tape (or Richard is just trying to make us think they were) and in regards to soundstage they contain very little side information.

Meh. Some fine tracks sure, but still waiting for...something else ? Analord fans should enjoy it a lot 'course, but for the others I'm afraid you buy name on a sleeve rather than your next eargasm.Artwork still looks fine to me, however.

Unless he signed a contract.

If RDJ would get pressure from Warp, he would just show his middle fingers and disappear for another 12 years.

Good point about Soundcloud. How did he decide which tracks out of the hundreds (or thousands) he has laying around to give an official release? Why not just put these up on Soundcloud with the rest? He must be getting some pressure from Warp to release some stuff.

Why not putting it on Soundcloud as the rest then, there are already tons of tracks like this out there to dj with (and a lot for free, btw). You're right Sherlock it's only dj tools, and with his name on it it will sell hundreds of copies more than other equivalent releases lol (production is top and better than some others I admit but still). Looking forward his next non-acoustic 'doesn't sound anything like the rest' release, if still possible.
