"L. James" — did lorna sign for richie's DX100 purchase?

I listened to it earlier today and I must say I really enjoyed it. Haven't listened to a full album by RDJ in ages; the programme made me want to dig out his records and give them all a spin.

Badass International DJ Mark Robinson is not happy
So us grafters bust our humps in the studio, make a dope track, spend money on promo, beg our peers to support, hustle, hustle... and it comes and goes.... Aphex Twin puts a picture up in a tube station and the whole industry goes mad for it— Mark Robinson (@djmarkrobinson) August 1, 2018

Fragile item. Leaves are loose and may shift around. Could attempt fixing leaves with a spray adhesive at buyers request.

did it come with an epilepsy warning?

nice though. it's like 1000 videos in one. like a demoscene demo but with better music.

Whoa that’s so cool!
Great track too

amazing video, think it comes with an epilepsy warning yeh
reminds me of the vid to holly herndon "chorus"

yea this was my first thought as well, the way every single movement in the music is reflected in the video is insane. if I watched this in VR I'd probably have a stroke
― frogbs, Tuesday, 7 August 2018 15:20 (five years ago) link
this track is great but also very much more of the same
― the masseduction of lauryn hill (Stevie D(eux)), Tuesday, 7 August 2018 15:31 (five years ago) link
especially love the first minute or so of the video, with all the descending text. although i ended up pausing the video about a dozen times to read certain frames!
at the same time...
― the masseduction of lauryn hill (Stevie D(eux)),
on first listen, i kind of agree. it would fit in on any number of his earlier releases, seamlessly. but that's not really a criticism in itself - if anything it kind of speaks to the mindblowing futurism of his 90s music. and if he released selected ambient works vol 3, and it sounded just like 2 (or 1) i would be absolutely thrilled. i think the bigger problem (personally speaking) is i'm not sure what place this kind of frenetic music has in my life anymore, to be honest. it's not you, rdj, it's me.
― Karl Malone, Tuesday, 7 August 2018 15:43 (five years ago) link
i still go back to polynomial c - ON - Xtal and the ambient ones more than any of his newer music
it is nice he still puts out music but yeah cannot say i have been crazy about anything since DRUKQS

stevie otm so I don't know what to think of this. the majority of latter day aphex really bores me but this track and the video work really well

i liked cheetah, it was pretty mellow
― brimstead, Tuesday, 7 August 2018 20:24 (five years ago) link
this feels old-fashioned. i know he's not interested in fashion, but still.
― Britain's Sexiest Cow (jed_), Tuesday, 7 August 2018 21:14 (five years ago) link
Track is just OK, boilerplate Aphex, I was hoping that by this point he'd be doing something a bit different, after the long break he had I thought maybe he'd return with an LP of piano music like the tracks on Drukqs, but happy enough to have him around putting stuff out even if he isn't quite at his peak anymore. Cheetah was nice enough.
The video is fucking great though, it's not like it has any completely new ideas, but I've not seen gants graf x cyriak before and it just works, really looks like something that should exist in 2018.
― mfktz (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Tuesday, 7 August 2018 21:30 (five years ago) link
oh really? i thought that looked old-hat as well. fwiw, i don't think RDJ is old-hat!
― Britain's Sexiest Cow (jed_), Tuesday, 7 August 2018 21:36 (five years ago) link
definitely seems to be keeping up with the OPNs and James Ferraros of the world there
tbh I think his new stuff is probably the most technically challenging and complex work he's ever done, it just doesn't really engage me like his previous work does. Syro was definitely one of those albums I thought was pretty rad on release but never really wanted to hear again after the first couple months. Then again drukqs was like that and I love that album now so who knows
― frogbs, Tuesday, 7 August 2018 21:38 (five years ago) link
it is definitely super technical but also it sounds like yet another refinement of a sound that started as far back as Druqks. At this point i can play a 'typical Aphex tune' in my head - detuned sinewaves, squelchy acidy noises and drilly rhythms bouncing all over the place, and that's sort of what he does now
― Scritti Vanilli - The Word Girl You Know It's True (dog latin), Tuesday, 7 August 2018 21:54 (five years ago) link
its almost like you could write a program to just spit 'em out
― frogbs, Tuesday, 7 August 2018 21:56 (five years ago) link
after the long break he had I thought maybe he'd return with an LP of piano music like the tracks on DrukqsThis was my hope, as well (love those tracks)I was a massive fan in the day, but haven’t really enjoyed his new stuff
― empire bro-lesque (morrisp), Tuesday, 7 August 2018 22:00 (five years ago) link
I wish he would either evolve rhythmically or, yeah, make more Drukqs-esque electro-acoustic music.
