Because it's hilarious.

Aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhbbh

Pretty sure he is triangulating with the blimps and that on that date he will send a copy of his new album to every wireless device on earth.

where did that date come from?

Graffiti sprayed on a hill in Derbyshire.

(I wish I were kidding.)

The date thing is a hoax. "Probably".

have no idea if that is legit

it's legit. it detected several of my installed plugins

lol at what happens if you scroll way down to the bottom

ha tracklisting names, and timings were all zeros when i visited.

suspect its a clever bot thing, and my blocking s/w stopped the site from functioning properly.

you can only see the tracklisting via torbrowser and the link http://syro2eznzea2xbpi.onion!

Can't wait to not be able to dance to this.

Here's the screenshots of the .onion page:

Track listing with BPM (I assume):
minipops 67 (source field mix) - 120.2
XMAS_EVET10 (thanaton 3 mix) - 120
produk 29 - 101
4 bit 9d api+e+6 - 126.26
180db_ - 130
CIRCLONT6A (syrobonkus mix) - 141.98
fz psuedotimestretch+e+3 - 138.85
CIRCLONT14 (shrymoming mix) - 152.97

PAPAT4 (pineal mix) - 155

airsatsana - 102

Those are some really weird track names even for him.

s950tx16wasr10 (earth portal mix) - 163.97

psyched to hear this one in footwork mixes

syrobonkus

really thought this was called Spyro all day

I get the feeling the names are derived from whatever arbitrary filenames he comes up with while working on tracks

pretty fucking hyped here

and mentioned this in the guardians of the galaxy thread but i swear that there are clear aphex symbols on computer readouts in the background on the Knowhere planet

so, if that 19th october date is accurate, ilx has 2 months to pre-cover this shizzle.

No. Nooooooo trust me you do not wanna get into that world of pain. Currently already getting too much grief off fanboys on twitter.

― example (crüt)

Far as I know, deep web addresses get assigned randomly, so the album might be called SYRO simply because the address he got started with syro. and he though it was a cool name for it.

This is the sort of significance I could extract from quick search for the song titles:

CIRCL could stand for Computer Incident Response Center Luxembourg.
U473 is a Unicode character. It’s also a type of Nazi German U-boat.
Minipops are little pixel dudes.
180db is where death of hearing tissue begins.
Produk is Hindi for product.
Aisatsana is Anastasia spelled backwards.

Oh, somehow I got this instead:

Has there been an Aphex Twin minipop art? number 67? otherwise then it's probably referencing the show.

IZ-US
Nannou
Nanou 2
airsatsana

let me guess

xps perhaps more appropriate: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korg_Mini_Pops

People trying to decipher pointless IDM track names, is it the 90s again?

Nannou was like 2 wives ago! Do keep up. Anastasria must be the new Russian girlfriend.

if you make a lot of electronic music you get tired of trying to think of descriptive/interesting/funny titles and usually they seem overly didactic so you end up w/ kremblax22_v3

feel like those are descriptive/interesting/funny titles, just for songs made on a computer by a computer user, analog to "Morning Song" for the song you wrote on your guitar in the morning about the morning.

well, yeah.
