Fuck every opinion in this thread. Inner city guy crouched between shopping carts is the authority on this Aphex shit now. I haven’t heard anything outside of the lead single yet but I KNOW this is the most accurate take.

zin2 test5 omc ma2 from the new EP and matriarch test 3+ from the recent soundcloud drop are the two best tracks i've heard post Syro. This adds nothing to the convo but just felt the need to say that, thats all. 

feeling this. zin2 also seems like it has more bits waiting to get unleashed as a longer version at a show. It bangs.

well, for me, this video and the collapse video are better than the songs... these new songs (including collapse) are very cool and all and there's lots of mind-blowing stuff happening but there's also parts that really annoy me... this new track on warp for example has the same problem that bblr has... I love them and I don't seem to grasp how those 2 or 4 bars of half-assed melodies don't turn u off... it's like, the best cake ever but instead of a cherry on top there's a little turd instead...

btw, is there a way of converting a video into a screensaver or a desktop background?

what's the best contact for warp via email? i've tried to ask about the CD packaging for this release, as it's got no insert or edge to hold the disc in and it falls out. getting nor reply, tried twice. the bleep store said they'd pass along word on my behalf. no real joy so far. anyone help?

The sleeve on my vinyl is shit too, the record could easily fall out of it, looks like they cut it to the wrong spec

I can't post a pic because my phone and this website don't get along

Woah really, I thought it was meant to be that fancy pants foldout thing and why it cost mega-bucks for just 14 minutes of digital vinals?

There is fancy diorama packaging separate to that, file under bit of a drukqsian pain in the hole, this is the sleeve the record itself sits in, it's too big

i wouldn't be surprised if it's somehow a byproduct of the design of the AR imagery - needs to be a certain dimension or resolution or similar ... or it won't read?

Word. Dude is reviewing everything too, from The Tuss to Taylor Swift and Autechre to Agoraphobic Nosebleed. But it’s the ambiance of vehicles driving off in the distance and the shopping carts in the background combined with his charisma that really put dude on another level imo.

Anyone with a chuuuge-ass KOYAANISQATSI tattoo on his forearm deserves all the love he can get (bonus points for correct spelling).

Didn't think much of the video. Thought the Aphexian creature (is it a wolf? a armadillo? a trilobite? a mutant badger?)  was real cool and funny in a twisted way. But I felt I was looking at a load of repeated square shit. For far too long. But it don't matter. The music is what matters. And it's great.

Yeah, I know what you mean. That bit should have been a little shorter

u guys have no idea what u're talking about... there's not even symmetry in the animation... just the afx logo on the floor is trippy enough... all the cubes and shit have different morphing patterns... use u're fkn eyes m9s... hell, just mute the music and look at it... are u guys watching this on nokias 3310? ffs...

No, but I think I have an idea on what you are watching it. 

Edit: Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Blackbox Life Recorder has an amazing video made by Weirdcore. But stil the best video is  Autechre - plyPhon (2020 4K version) and that is not even a official video. 

Yeah that’s a classic

A tardigrade. It was an unpleasant flashback to my invertebrate zoology course from Fall 1998 when I saw the video but they're cool fellers. They're also known as moss piglets or water bears and can survive space. I don't know if it's Weirdcore or Richard giving the direction but it was fitting that the Tardijames was unveiled in the cosmic section.
