Anticipating SYRO the new (2014) album by Aphex Twin

I have the first 170 or so... but none of what was posted the last couple weeks

I don't think they were downloadable at any point

The first lot were.

Still haven't burned more than cd1 of the 10cd set, but then again, was playing it in the car 10 mins ago.

Mark what part of "the last couple of weeks" did you fail to understand there?

The demonisation of the SNP.

There's the third party Firefox plugin that gives you a download button; I used it to grab the ones from last week through Monday. But they are 128 bitrate.

The last 32 tracks, uploaded by Herr Jan of the watmm forum:

He's back -> https://soundcloud.com/user18081971

https://soundcloud.com/user18081971/tracks = in the order they were uploaded, as before
https://soundcloud.com/user18081971/comments = do believe it's really him, the older comments are back as well

appears to be his birthday. hope he keeps this for a while

no new material yet, right? that last batch was full of gems, just getting to them now. sheesh...

Posted 3 days ago3 days Adger Douth says at 0:28: are you still saving a lot of tracks for yourself…stuff well never hear?
Posted 3 days ago3 days user18081971 says at 0:28: yeah the last 8 years worth!

interesting. i wonder if that means now (or once this leak series is over) the well is pretty much dry on pre-2007 material?

3 new tracks + a couple of the earlier tracks now have download enabled (higher bitrate)

2 of them are from Bradley's Robot EP, 1993, btw

Well, that comment makes sense: the old stuff isn't coming out as 'new', the last eight years just might..

These two cheetah tracks sound quite newish though

Nutcrapper: "apologies for both of these tracks! possibly the best track ever made"

and wtf Mulberry Bush " i think this and the next one were first couple of tracks i did when i got a sampler :) "

And another 11 today

The recent lot are really great. To my mind a lot better than the pile uploaded a couple of months ago, even if they were pretty good.

man i cannot keep up. this is so insane

so wait, he's grouped some of these into titled album-style playlists?

this is new(ish) to the bio, right?

"In answer to a lot of messages:
hmmm..i think if there were some sort of poll or something, I would get the best of/faves mastered & pressed up/backed up.

I can make almost all of these tracks sound A LOT better, if I transfer them properly myself and then master them .
There are lots of other releases planned on Warp but it could fit in fine there somewhere."

really cool how much his tone/intent toward his fans seems to have changed lately

Poll?

We should definitely poll all of these new tracks and then forward him the results

Does anyone have that last download set?

no?

What you mean last download set? Which tracks are you missing?

(he just uploaded another one today btw)

At this point so many songs have dumped I can barely keep them straight (advantage: albums).

Here's a two hour mix (official stuff, none of that Soundcloud upload) on NTS Bleep:

The recent lot are all downloadable now.

Oooh! Thx for the heads up

been only listening to tracks at random and while most of them have been really unremarkable the good stuff has been really really good, anyone tackled making a best-of playlist of the stuff?

wouldn't it be cool if RDJ sorted through everything, chose maybe about an hour's worth of tracks that are high quality and work well together, and then collected them on an "album"?

Scroll up a bit, 3 weeks ago - soyrev quoted something like that

oh, nice! i need to read the damn thread.

Here's a playlist I put together of the most "ambient" of the material he's posted:

https://soundcloud.com/disquiet/sets/aphex-twin-saw-iii-beta

guhh i mean i've only made it up to the hangable auto bulb outtakes from the first round of uploads but.. after several listens there's way more than just 1 cd worth of goodness there, imo. it's some good old fashioned 90s aphex twin. plenty of stuff that's up there with my favorites of his (suzanne, 2tone, martin's car, sam's car, the donkey rhubarb remix, with my family, no cares, high hats tune....)

I've made this into a monthly Aphex album club, living with each volume before burning the next. I'm up to album three, the ordering is wayward/alphabetical, but.

Just noticed a link to this mix by Carlos Souffront on today's RA Podcast

The first time we'd ever heard of Carlos Souffront was in 2006, when Derek Plaslaiko was encouraging us to book him for our first 3/03 acid party (alongside Mark Verbos). Derek would not shut up about a party in Detroit where Carlos just played Aphex Twin (and his many aliases) vinyl all night long and demolished the place. So it only followed that we should invite him to play an all acid set on 3/03. Carlos of course was phenomenal that night and has been a regular guest at The Bunker ever since. Earlier this year, when Aphex Twin began uploading a seemingly endless stream of unreleased tracks to Soundcloud, it was Derek once again who called us and said: you HAVE to ask Carlos do a mix of this stuff for The Bunker Podcast. Carlos obliged and did this mix for us live in one take (after a surprise practice session on RBMA radio). Enjoy!

Carlos is a super solid dude and DJ. He was one of a few people in Detroit playing anything melodic during the minimal craze.
