Are you totally happy with the Blackbox Life Recorder 21 f EP Release so far?

I made a little poll for just to see how many of us fans thinking so far about the new release by Aphex Twin

Let's be honest! 

I don't even really listen to idm anymore but I still blindly bought it... didn't even listen to it yet...

Very happy but i hope for other tunes in the near future, he played like an hour of unreleased shizzle live

That first track he released didn't really click for me (yet). You can perceive how the quality and the care is immense, though. I can barely imagine the process and how the routing of his studio looks like

An EP or even a single is fine, as long as it feeds you the right way. I'm looking forward to hear the rest!

Haven’t heard anything outside of the looping audio on the QR code generated AR black box. Trying to wait for the release so I can hear it all in full quality. 

I've been listening to both tracks for a while in loop, and I gotta say, it's somewhat stuck in my head. However I really wish we had more tracks (the ones that he played on his shows for example).

Look people, this man dumped hundreds of amazing tunes for free on SoundCloud back in 2015. He released some of it on the aphex store in 2019 and onwards, he also updated the field day LP up until 2021. Yes 14 minutes is pretty short and considering the rollout I expected more but he has been very generous to us over the years. Its also not like we havent heard anything from him since Collapse. The new track is amazing and I'm very excited for release day.

Look people, It's not my fault i want minimum 10 new trxxx. I was chill and then this afx geezer got me all hyped up with his "ploink" track and those other unreleased awesome tunes at his shows.

look people we had peak watmm numbers

For me it says most members online: 01/17 - 2023

Sounds like squarepusher got stoned and listened to nothing but boc for a week. 
 

Nothing about this guy is "fresh" imo, he just makes the same track over and over. I knew it would have that snare sound before even clicking, lol. He is by far and wide the most ludicrously overhyped artist in the genre. Rips off and insults his fans. And it's somehow special when he actually plays his own material live? Wow! And now all this hype for this little precum drip of tracks... Plus loads and loads of useless, wasteful brand-name merch. It's gross, flagrant capitalist narcissism. His heyday was over 20 years ago lol, it only gets more ridiculous with time. And the soundcloud dump? Dump indeed. Just a pile of garbage archive tracks. We all have hundreds of those lol, but most have the good taste to never put them out. 
Ok thanks for tuning in, I'll go back to never posting in this forum now.
 

Check out 1h01m - 1h04m before Andy Stott Faith In Strangers at the BKS gig, it has it has similarities to BBLR 21F, its just over 3 mins long, I think its track 4 off the new EP

Yeah I like it, but it is starting to sound like Dad-IDM, but in a good way.

lol I was also thinking that today while listening

I really like the single, I suppose its a bit safe, would like an ambient one and a mental one to round the ep off nicely

Artwork and sleeve design look great

Price is a rip-off

Something in the lines of Dad-Rock, like I dunno Pink Floyd? It doesn't demerits the artists, but its a way to say, at least for me, that I hear "fresher" stuff else where now, like Skee Mask for example.

would like an ambient one

The Google drive track is pretty ambient. Would love it even more if it was SAW II style, just the first minute on repeat for all eternity...

Yeah it is, I'm referring more specifically to the ep though with regard to an ambient track on it

Richy Rich going Baa Baa on the track cos he's da GOAT. 

i believe cop show dad funk was the phrase being bandied about after Syro.
