I dunno, but speaking of conclusion jumping.. here's a crazy theory on why
RDJ is re-releasing all of his old Rephlex material..
This is just some wild random thought.. and doesn't have much factual basis,
well some..
Lately after the release of Come to Daddy, Richard D. James has said that he
is no longer interested in making music.. true he said this many times
before, but this time he seemed to be a little more serious about it, saying
that it took way too much of his time up, etc..
That was in some thing someone posted to here a while ago about it being in
some article.. but anyway.. suddenly RDJ is re-releasing all his old
records.. First AB3, then AB4, then the Joyrex's.. the only thing that's
left to re-release is Q-Chastic right? at least that's the only record left
on Rephlex, besides the AB5 promo..
Anyhow my thought on this is that what if he is doing this in order to keep
the fans at bay with something to buy, keep them excited by repressing hard
to get stuff.. after all, on Warp, he MUST release a new album, it's under
contract.. but he IS rephlex, so he can basically do whatever the fuck he
wants..
..and then once his Warp contract runs out he might stop making music or
so..
Just a random thought.. and the day that Q-Chastic gets re-released will be
the new judgement day :) Since the question to the existance of it will
finally be answered heh.
I was telling this to someone in IRC about Q-Chastic and he said he thought
the same exact thing..
but I dunno what to think about it still, coz my best mate says that he has
seen it and heard it, and that it's a 2x10" white label, that just says cat
002 on it.. and then someone else told me his friend had it, and that it was
a 2x7" orange coloured vinyl. So who's telling the truth? I would trust my
mate more than some guy who just floated in #aphextwin. and my mate was also
able to identify the track "Q-Chastic" as being the first track on Q-Chastic
EP without ever having heard the track before.. I described it to him :)
