Aphex Twin - Mangle 11

Aphex Twin - Drukqs (2017)
This track was uploaded to the Aphex Twin Warp store in 2017 (?). The mp3 used in this upload was 320 kbps, converted from the .FLAC file I purchased. Mangle 11 originally appeared on Rephlexions! An Album Of Braindance! as AFX - Mangle 11 (Circuit Bent V.I.P. Mix) in 2003. Aphex Twin also uploaded the track to his user18081971 soundcloud with a free dl.

[@sega-megadeth1276]

I would think the reason why this is a bonus track on Drukqs is because it was recorded alongside every other song on the album.

[@whylessness]

Cylob talks about the track in an interview:
"I read in an old interview that you were living below your friend the Aphex Twin? Do you still? Was he/is he a noisy neighbour?
Nope that was until about four and a half years ago. It was a solid building; there was only one track that I heard being made through the ceiling, the jungly one on Rephlexions. There was a good few weeks of that riff. It was OK though, I love that tune."
So Aphex Twin made it when he was living with Cylob.

[@sega-megadeth1276]

@@whylessness Which interview was it?

[@evo2542]

A tracker like player protracker on mac , or renoise
Trackers have been used for decades , especially for fast breackcore ,because trackers have special commands like retrigger and ptich up/down , volume etc..per line making it perfect for verry fast stuff
Venetian snares used a lot of renoise for his albums before going fully modular
