we’re going to do some serious bleepbloop listening ok? all the main albums, most of the EPs, loads of the aliases, none of the soundcloud stuff unless someone wants to curate it for us. ive also tried to generally get it in order of the date it was recorded rather than released, as i feel like that makes more sense for the listening club format.

here's the plan, and i'll include jump links to the first post about each record as we go along.

Am I already part of two listening clubs? Yes
Am I also doing that daft 1001 albums generator project? Yes
Am I extremely overwhelmed by trying to catch up with new releases on top of that? Yes
And trying to listen to my old favourites between all that? Yes

Am I ready for the Aphex Twin deep dive? Bring it the fuck on.

Can’t wait for this, thank you so much for putting it together.

I am normally terrible with listening clubs (both partaking and running), but I’ll do my best to keep up with this one! I seem to be doing ok with the Stereolab one, so :crossed_fingers:t2:

I hope that those in this thread more knowledgeable about Richard D. James than me can drop some fun facts as we go through.

In the spirit of his 90s interview I think we should just make up anything that makes him sound cool.
