Aphex Twin classic or Dud?

It'll probably be in a Claus Olssen branch.

This is getting too weird, on a "fandoms colliding" kinda tip.

probably

dud

this is the first time ive seen deems say anything about music other than 90s rock bands you like, 90s rock bands who betrayed you, or irish folk music

not my fault you skip john prine or Kris Kristofferson threads son

this is still my jam

american singer songwriters with scots irish folk fixations dont fall very far from those trees

distance from a tree is no metric of satisfactory listening I ever found myself lusting after but come I've said my piece as far as this thread goes

Ordered on CD, am stoked.

Special edition is quite ornate:

Guess it's somewhat expected for the quid you're extracting for it

Love this. Also it only occurred to me after a talking with my partner last night that the sole intention behind releasing those track titles, BPMs and run times was to encourage loads of bootlegs and rub obsessive fans up the wrong way. Same as this deluxe edition and the Caustic Window album - this is good music, but it's not worth £200-£46,000.

New interview: http://www.rollingstone.com/music/features/aphex-twin-on-new-syro-lp-im-feeling-really-horny-about-it-and-very-smug-20140903#ixzz3CH2dlUjr

Yeah, I've got this brand spanking new Swedish digital-analog hybrid drum machine-sampler-synthesizer. It's fucking good. Pretty much everything I do has to be somehow related to making music – when I came up to London to do press, I thought, "Oh, I can go on the train and make some music on the way up." But then on the train, I didn't have any power sockets to plug anything into, so that didn't work out so good. I'm going to make sure that they have sockets in the one on the way back.

Since when did Richard become so adorable? This interview is quite open and earnest (it would seem). Also, did he just buy an OP-1? Sounds like it from his description.

I thought it might have been that new Elektron drum machine, but that sounds plausible

He still lies his head off. Basically contradicted a ton of stuff he said in other interviews over the past couple of years. (Then again, given those were supposed to be email interviews, it's entirely possible they weren't him?)

He sounds pretty happy, which is good.

> Skrillex has called Aphex Twin's 1997 track "Flim" his "fav song of all time."

skrillex has just gone up in my estimation. first he invents dubstep*, now this

Skrillex has called Aphex Twin's 1997 track "Flim" his "fav song of all time."

lol if this becomes standard in the first paragraph of Aphex articles

"fav"

favour fav

How many kids do you have?
Two boys, eight and six. They make music, both of them. I don't know if you've ever heard of an artist called Mark Fell – it's avant-garde techno, not danceable. Someone said [my son's music] sounds like a cross between that and Holly Herndon, who's another experimental electronic artist. That's really accurate, actually. He was five when he did it.

lol, so proud

also mark fell is gr8 and his sensate focus tracks are totally danceable

indeed

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RUAJ8KLGqis

Right, I must not listen to that.

Go onnn. you know you want to.

mark fell rulez xps

My prediction upthread that this might sound like the Analord series seems true, then?

I get Windowlicker Lite from this track at least

sounds good 2 me

The processed vocals sound super super-Tuss like, to me.

it's good!

kewl track

it's ok.

dud

the ilx progression

it's an aphex twin track.

when posting track opinions please also post your opinion of ICBYD so I know if I can discount yours, thanks

i wish i could lick my own ball listening to this

A good opinion of ICBYD makes my opinion valid or invalid? I rate it between 3.5/4 stars out of five.

you can live

i wasn't that bothered about him releasing new material but if it's going to generate opinions i'm on board

he just.......................................... cared because you do xp

I'm not going to listen to any of these tracks until I get the LP I guess.

xp I'm interested in Lukas's opinion about "...I care" though because I've only just rediscovered after years and years of it being sat in a cupboard festering and being ignored. It sounds so, so great in the last two days I've heard it again. Almost like the Aphex I'd dreamed of hearing after SAWII. erm, yeah. I know.

it is very richard h. kirk : lovely melodic bouncy bleeps, layered/cut up/processed vocals

subsequently, i really like it.
