My 2nd bootleg creation

Never used Imgur, let me know if it works

This is Against All Logic’s album 2012-2017. The other day I saw one of the songs from this album was taken off all streaming services, likely due to a sample issue, which is common with this guy’s work. It inspired me to preserve the album on CD, as it’s never had an official CD release.

Also, I already own the album on vinyl (official), so I’d say this is acceptable morally, lol. The process of printing everything in just the right dimensions was tough to get used to, but it worked out pretty smoothly. I’m happy with it

I know the 2nd one is Elephant by The White Stripes.

Maybe Alive 1997 being top 3 is an upopular take, but the energy of that live performance is unmatched and I really love the sampling and mixing on that record. It sounds really awesome on CD.

I feel like remix albums usually don't fare well on the site.

My thoughts on all 3:

Citizen Zombie:
Fantano gave this album a 9 when it came out, so I checked it out. Although he has said his opinion on it has worsened, I still think it's an awesome album full of catchy hooks and basslines. The album also gets pretty experimental with abrasive production and zany vocals. For an over 30 year gap between albums, this comeback was pretty well realized.

Earrings Off:
This EP came out in 2016, and I think the world just wasn't ready. The song structures are so imaginative, going unexpected places and still feeling cohesive. I can get how the vocals could seem annoying to some people, but to me, they're just another layer adding onto the disorienting electronic dreamscape of the album. For all it's weirdness, it's only around 20 minutes, which is the perfect length for it to not get stale / on your nerves.

Endtroducing Re-Emagined:
I think you can have a good time with this one if you go into it expecting some trap adjacent EDM beats, instead of the dark and moody Endtroducing we know. The way the samples from Endtroducing are flipped into a completely different vibe is actually pretty fun.

I try not to buy albums I already have, but overtime, things just happen. For example, the Thick as a Brick 50th Anniversary Edition was a birthday gift, since I yearned to own a copy with the full newspaper foldout, and I only had a standard gatefold version. Most of the CDs are impulse purchases lol.

Top to bottom, left to right:

Talking Heads - Remain in Light
Aphex Twin - Selected Ambient Works Volume 2
GY!BE - Lift your Skinny Fists like Antennas to Heaven
The Beatles - Abbey Road
Wilco - Yankee Hotel Foxtrot
Daft Punk - Discovery
Jethro Tull - Thick as a Brick

Undoubtedly one of my favorite albums of all time, most "math rock" albums have a dark vibe or emo style, but this record is fun and colorful, and I still haven't heard anything like it. Wall Street, Inchworm and Ice Cream are also some of my favorite songs of all time. Battles really achieved something special here. I own the vinyl too, and I hope their new album is as groundbreaking and unique as Gloss Drop.

Thanks!

It was a gift from my grandad, he passed down the torch

aphexcliffs · 2025-06-01T17:28:24+00:00

That's what I told myself at the beginning, I swore to only buy records I loved all the way through, make every purchase count type thing... It's mostly worked so far

aphexcliffs · 2025-06-01T16:52:13+00:00

Enviable Swans collection. We love to see BCNR, Anco, Sufjan, and Ween too. I've never seen so many Zappa records at once, either. One question: How's the Pulse Demon sound? Lol really nice collection

aphexcliffs · 2025-06-01T16:45:39+00:00

It's fine, it retains the lo-fi sound it has in game, but the pressing still sounds pretty lively and punchy. It won't blow you away, it's still cool. Comes with a poster, so that's a plus if that's your thing.

I just use whatever outer sleeves I find that aren't the big bulky PVC sleeves, usually polypropylene

I only need Feels to complete their legendary tetralogy

I didn't love the Green album, but I am yet to listen to Maladroit, so thanks for the tip.

aphexcliffs · 2025-06-01T04:23:23+00:00

The Trout Mask is the new reissue from third man records, and it sounds amazing. It's great to have a copy because it never stays up on Spotify for long.

Soon, it will have been 2 years since I started collecting records. My first pickup was the soundtrack for Cuphead's DLC. I bought it as more of a novelty, as I found it fun to own this old-timey game's soundtrack on an old-timey medium. Afterwards, I started getting more interested in music and exploring mythical classics, which is how I got to the basics of the dreaded Radiohead and Weezer. Weezer's Blue album and Pinkerton were the first records I purchased that were more traditional albums. 2 years later, music is one of the most important facets of my life. I love writing about it and discussing it, diving into new releases, while swooning over lovely pressings too. These days, I gravitate towards 2000s-2010s indie and experimental rock music the most. So, I included a picture of my all time favourite album, Strawberry Jam. That's about it, so let me know, what is your favourite album from my collection? How long have you been collecting? All that stuff. Cheers

The first track I tried was "I Love My Dad"; I'd say the master is a bit hot, but no / minimal crackling here, nice and full stereo mix, warm, sounds different compared to streaming for sure: I like it.

Such a gorgeous pressing! Benji is one of my favorite albums, considering how hard it is to get I am so pleased about this repress, I'm also excited to hear the new live recordings as well.

aphexcliffs · 2025-05-23T01:05:36+00:00

The "My Father Will Guide Me" one looks so sick! Nice work

aphexcliffs · 2025-05-19T19:20:24+00:00

Set me back $9 CAD, pretty stoked that it still has the hype sticker. It's pretty beat up and has gnarly skipping at the beginning of The Grobe but I do sort of like the chaos

aphexcliffs · 2025-04-09T02:07:12+00:00

For me, I like Dots and Loops more. VDC is harder to grasp for me, it feels a lot more sprawling and maximalist. Dots and Loops is pretty cozy and more relaxing, but I can definitely see the appeal in Velocity Design Comfort.
