Fascinating interview and some classic Aphex bullshit about his kids being electronic music prodigies. Thanks for posting.

James Album, which are pretty much the only way I listen to them, which I say at the risk of sounding like a tool. Holding out is the plan, but that's said from the safety of that still being my only option. I've already listened to the 6 previews, tho....

Funky as gently caress, crazy use of timing/swing. Also, the sound design in CIRCLONT14 is nuts. This is a very different album, and I'm really happy about that. renderful fucked around with this message at 05:19 on Sep 18, 2014 |

Bit of a lofi thing going on as well. You can really hear the noise from the vintage synths at times, like during the beginning of CIRCLONT14.

Listening for the first time now, on Produk 29 at the moment. My god, Adult Swim is gonna have so much new bump music. Also, so far I feel like this is gonna be one of those albums that I'll listen to for years and still hear new things every time I listen to it because there's just so much loving substance to these tracks. e: Jesus Christ, 180db sounds like something you'd dance to as you're getting thrown into Hell. e2: CIRCLONT6A  I would kill for an album of more stuff like this.e3: CIRCLONT14 ruuuuuuuuules too. Jesus, I love this. e4: Holy hell, Syro u473t8+e is perfect. I'm pretty sure this is my album of the year already. e5: The drums in PAPAT4 are simply stellar. e6: Yeah, this album is just unbelievably good through and through. S590tx16wasr10 owned and Aisatsana was a big change of pace but the prettiest ambient piece I've heard all year and also his best piano piece since Avril 14th.

Metz track is so unbelievably pretty. edit: hate to say it but I feel a bit underwhelmed. Maybe I was expecting more but some tracks don't really do anything for me. The Circlont's mostly. There's some instant classics on Syro (XMAS_EVET, PAPAT, 180dB_), but some tracks leave me bored. Then again. I had the same feeling when I first listened to Druqks the first couple of times..

Just pre-ordered the vinyl and I don't even own a record player, I wanted a physical copy and the CD is likely to get no spins either (none of my main gear has an optical drive in tyool 2014) so why not spend the few extra bucks for a wall piece. Diving right into this leak. Wasn't too warm on minipops the first time I heard it but in true afx style more and more is revealed with every listen. I read someone once saying that the Richard D James album changed the way he listened to music and it rings true for me as well, that cd was an amazing awakening into the whole universe of information and expression that can be contained in a song, took me past the "here is the chorus yaaaay" superficial listening I had given almost everything prior to the first time 4 blooped out of my little home stereo.

Mutation posted:So there's this big interview on Aphex Twin for a foreign magazine that got translated. Enjoy this wall of text on Syro, fatherhood, living a quieter life, who he thinks the Caustic Window seller was, and more. I love how much bullshit he talks in interviews, I find it endearing  How many of the stories he tells are actually fabricated? The childhood prodigy who would win programming competitions by achieving impossible things, taking apart and reconstructing a piano just for fun, etc etc

Would be surprised if anyone on here doesn't already know, but RDJ's Pithfork interview is up, and I think they did a pretty cool job putting it together. He fleshed out his philosophy behind making music a bit more than he's done for his other Syro press stuff. "Forget all the equipment, forget the music, it's just literally frequencies and their effects on your brain. That's what's everyone's essentially after" http://pitchfork.com/features/cover-story/9506-strange-visitor-a-conversation-with-aphex-twin/

This album is pretty loving good you guys. It's definitively a continuation of Analord and Tuss's analogue sound and expert composition, but perfected. If this is what contemporary Aphex Twin is these days then I'm more than happy. Here's hoping this is the dawn of new productivity (and Analord Vol. 2.  )

It's not reaching the the kind of perverse genius of Windowlicker, 4, or Come To Daddy or the delicacy of the earlier stuff (nor would I expect it to). It's really just a collection of technically solid, wierd techno / dnb workouts from a guy with lots of cool gear. Of course nobody else could do this kind of thing, but still. It's also 20 minutes too long. A tentative 3/5 stars at the moment

I'm interested to see what else he comes out with in the near future, assuming that he's now in a more "release stuff" mood. The interviews make it sound like he's aware this isn't innovative, but he's got more innovative stuff squirreled away. Although I doubt he'll put out anything very different under the Aphex Twin name. I think this album gets better the more I listen to it at any rate, there's so much density to parse

First listen didn't blow me away. Some solid moments. I hope repeat listens open it up for me because I feel like his work as The Tuss was more interesting.

It's also 20 minutes too long. A tentative 3/5 stars at the moment Yeah more or less. He's said in every interview this is his most conventional release, more experimental material is just on the horizon, in one he says word for word "there are no next-level beats on Syro", he's much more enthusiastic about the stuff he's done in the past couple years, etc, so I'm definitely more excited about what's coming next. I was quick to feel disappointed in this one because yeah it's not at all on the level of his strongest work, but after a few listens I really think it's some of the best of his [uncertain tony fantano hand thing] "normal" techno material, both CIRCLONT tracks and the (earth portal) one at the end are really excellent. But yeah his openness and accuracy in describing this one have made me pretty hopeful the follow-up stuff will be as good as he says.
