FIRST, A QUICK NOTE ON THIS UPLOAD & USER18081971...
This music is an important thing to archive, as it deeply affected the landscape of modern experimental electronic music. At least for some.

I discovered user18081971 right around the time these uploads began in January of 2015. I was in middle school, and had just discovered Aphex Twin only a few months earlier! For me, this was a truly magical time in music discovery. So much new music was being published, and at the same time a social community of artists was connecting through the soundcloud comments of these uploads, as well as forming active communities and discussions on reddit, forums, and later discord. I truly feel like this music, being uploaded in the way it was, brought together so many people and lead to the formation of the modern underground IDM community. I certainly wouldn't have met a lot of people today if it wasn't for this!

RESOURCES USED...

THE FIRST COMMENT FROM USER18081971...
"Would like to know the full setup for this track, brilliant music man. I love your early 90's stuff so much, I was doing stuff in the early 90’s, similar to you but I didn't know about you when I did it ! Im also 43 years old :) I’m going to be uploading it to soundcloud soon, gotta dust off the old DAT’s & cassettes!"
He made this comment from the user account, on one of the tracks posted by the official Aphex Twin soundcloud, shortly before publishing "utopia".

FUN FACT!
Richard changed the username of this account from "user48736353001" to "user18081971". This is to match with his birthday, August 18th, 1971.

WHY WEREN'T SOME TRACKS INCLUDED?
This is not the entire soundcloud dump, as it was back in 2015! There is in fact, about 2.5 hours more material that wasn't included.
This is largely due to tracks being released officially, either before or later on, by Warp or other labels. By including these I'd be risking this upload getting blocked in various countries, or worldwide! Unfortunately, it looks like I still included a few tracks that have lead to issues: "japan", which is an old polygon window remix, and also one track that contains a drum break that got flagged. So, this upload seems to not be available in Japan and Russia.
I also made the decision to cut the modular tracks, as I plan to include them in a separate upload. I also cut a few miscellaneous, "non-musical" tracks.

LIST OF UNINCLUDED TRACKS...
harmonicom ([Radiator], or track 2 from Selected Ambient Works Volume II)
modal 10 ([Domino], or track 11 from Selected Ambient Works Volume II)
harmonicom 13 (Alternate version of [Radiator] with added beats. Appears as SAW2 CD1 TRK2 (Original Mix) on 26 Mixes for Cash.)
Th1 [evnslower] (released on the expanded edition of Selected Ambient Works Volume II)
Cheetah3 Teac (remastered and released on the Cheetah EP)
CHEETAHT7 Teac (remastered and released on the Cheetah EP)
P - String (re-released on the WARP30 anniversary Peel Sessions)
Slo Bird Whistle[peel Sesh] (re-released on the WARP30 anniversary Peel Sessions)
2 Pcp 2 [unreleased Version] (very similar to Mescalinum United - We Have Arrived remixes)
12 space beat (released as BUCK TICK - In the Glitter, Part 2 (Aphex Twin mix))
T17 Phase Out (released on Music From The Merch Desk)
Pretend Analog Extmix 2b (released on Music From The Merch Desk)
Nightmail 1 (released on Music From The Merch Desk)
luke vibert spiral staircase [afx remix] (released on Music From The Merch Desk)
T13 Quadraverb (released on Music From The Merch Desk)
T08+4 (released on Music From The Merch Desk)
... along with the modular tracks (fx matrix, modularTs, nqz, rebrab, etc) [I will publish these separately]
... and the casio rz1 sound collection tracks (just samples from the rz1 drum machine)
...Dx9 20 Afx Voices (which is a patch for the Dx9!)
...and "Uchoob trax links [your fave music or other REALLY interesting music] not just any old crap", which is just a place to post things in the comments!

AN EXCEPTION...
Technically, "Linmiri ≠ Bradley Stryder" aka "Linmiri" was uploaded 1/4/2016. However, I chose to include it as part of the 2015 soundcloud dump as it effectively marked the end of the dump, to me. Love 7 was uploaded several months later, 5/28/16. Then nothing until the end of 2016, with tnodvood. and then silence for a couple years after that. In 2019/2020 there was a nice influx of some tracks, notably with the drop of "tha2", "qu 1", "s8v1 [brooklyn]", and others, several of which were tracks he had played at recent live shows. There's also CIRCLONT12A Syro[ace] from 5/13/19, which is cool demo mix from Syro. And "dark horse overlord acid+7", from 2/16/20, another cool acid track that was stealthily dropped.

Point being though, to me Linmiri marked the end of the abundant era of soundcloud drops from Aphex Twin. 275+ tracks dropped over the course of just about a year. All with no announcement, and anonymously, until he was discovered. Wild!

A NOTE ON NAME CHANGES...
It was very difficult to post the entire tracklist with timestamps in the description! I'm at exactly the 5000 character limit. In order to do this, I had to shorten all of the track titles as much as possible.
- I cut the track #/DAT # indicator at the beginning of track titles. "7 cutting" -> "cutting". "8 utopia" -> "utopia". "26 5 [demo]" -> "5 [demo]".
- I removed album/alias indicators:
"Linmiri ≠ Bradley Stryder" -> "Linmiri"
"saw II un road shimmer f" -> "un road shimmer f"
"Clapstab Ab6" -> "Clapstab" [ab6 means analogue bubblebath 6! in total we got 7 "ab6" tracks, almost a full release]
- I removed mastering/mix notes:
"pianokupt1 [norm]" -> "pianokupt1"
"glockenspiel TEAC" -> "glockenspiel"
"Lifetrak2 EqTeac 1" -> "Lifetrak2"
"High Hats Tune Tamclap Orig" -"High Hats Tune Tamclap"
"Jonny Hawkes Broken Guitar[not Finished]" -> "jonny hawkes broken guitar"
- I removed some "[mix]" notes.
"Cornish Spreek5b [St. Nectan S Glen Waterfalls Mix]" -> "Cornish Spreek5b"
"Floating∞ [swimming in god mix]" -> "Floating∞"
"∂ƒ∆ [rough mix]" -> "∂ƒ∆"
- I removed parenthesis/brackets around track titles. "(water)" -> "water". "(taut)" -> "taut". "(mature raver)" -> "mature raver".
- I used shorter or preferred track titles when available. These were often based off the file names given within the downloadable mp3s.
"Afx origTheme" -> "afx theme"
"mooow [Dixons Theft mix]" -> "dixons theft-mooow"
"barbarella on microdots" -> "barbie1"
"ep string" -> "bell bass"
"2tone[camborne college mix]" -> "2tone"
"Alias Trak[brain floss mix]" -> "alis trak"
"moodular3[live gig]" -> "100m 3"
"Moodular Acid[pissflaps mix]" -> "modular acid"
"leeds orbit[live]" -> "100m 2"
"25 funnel" -> "arrd"
"5 jap flute energy rave" -> "sline"
"off key [bicycle wheel]" -> "[bicycle wheel]"
"[Slo]w early morning clissold sunrise" -> "slow early morning"
"fLutterwave" -> "bradley echoes"
"(watery big ez)" -> "water"
"carn marth [longerbit]" -> "Cmarth [longer]"
"tigercubdelay" -> "cubdelay"
"Lush Acid [pt1]" -> "lush acid"
"rogphlange 1[braiNfLOSS2]" -> "grogphlange"
"Shroommdot [miCro3] [8th dimension transmission]" -> "Shroommdot"
"7z [sole transfer]" -> "7z"
"Soahcie2 [sole trader/removal]" -> "Soahcie2"
... and I also shorted these really long ones...
"IWantToBeWithYou[afx Editional][a Side][edwrd'get Dwn' Crosby][88]-Street Side Boyz[prod.Master C&j" -> "IWantToBeWithYou[afx edit]"
"you belong to me [afx edit] [90]-edward 'get down' crosby, [written by groove II groove] [GD104]" -> "you belong to me[afx edit]"
"previously lost track [dat 24] Icbyd-merry maidens" -> "merry maidens"

Ideally, I wouldn't have to shorten any track titles! It sucks how strict the limit is on youtube descriptions. I actually really love having the additional information in the track titles, as it can help reveal more about the tracks. I encourage you, if you're interested, to check out the spreadsheet linked in the top of this comment to learn more about this music!

Anyways, I think that's all... Feel free to comment with any questions. Enjoy!
