APHEX TWIN - SYRO

Fucking ace detective work, Jason - and if anyone's in doubt that the rest of the tracks won't hold up to the 'known' stuff he's played live... well, trust me - that's just the tip of the iceberg.

I knew you were secretly listening to the promo this whole time

I'm definitely going to listen to the youtube rips in retrospect so I can see what everyone was hankering on about, but only after I've heard the album in full about 100 times. I think I looped confederation trough and rushup bank 100s of times over- enough to want to hear slightly different edits of them

Why does pitchfork say hurr durr 13 years and completely ignores the Tuss?

lol

• The limited-edition version of SYRO will include an extra track printed in ink on heavyweight cardstock: “I tried it a few times, and it sounds like noise, but you can hear music in there, somehow.

5. And finally, he confirmed Syro wouldn't be a one-off—it's got him "kicked into gear" for a new period of output.

they said an aphex twin album not an album by rdj

Excellent work Jason and others, I've updated the OP abit.

Also, frickin' sweet that he's getting into a period of new output. While we should all be more than grateful for this upcoming blessing, it's fucking great to hear there's even more goodness coming.

"Fans were just so happy to get it, fucking hell. I've got thousands more like that at home. I should release all that stuff as well.”"

Each time I go back to it, I realize there were loads more tracks. So it started off like a double album, but I think it's about four albums' worth. So it's really hard to pull together. I just need Warp or someone to come around and say, ‘Come on, let's fucking get these things out.’ But they don't, so it's just up to me. And nobody else hassles me.”

omg richard what are you doing to me :):)

warp start hassling afx

wtf that article. I look forward to further installments.

The whole thing is just really touching. When they reached that goal on Kickstarter and it kept going uppeople just wanting to give it money, even though they didn't need to do itit's like, Oh wow. Humanity is nice after all. Fans were just so happy to get it, fucking hell. I've got thousands more like that at home. I should release all that stuff as well.

RDJ is such a cock/ver10 tease

it amazes me that some people are annoyed these live tracks are on there because they have already heard them, even if the tracks havent changed much they are still going sound so much better in proper quality and all of them are as lush as fuck!

 

I'm not annoyed that these tracks are on the new release. I just don't want them to be the best tracks on it seeing as I've listened to them forever & thus will lack any major surprise. I wanted 100% surprise for purely selfish reasons. I would agree that the mixes are probably different to some degree & will undoubtedly sound a million times better. I'm hoping Joyrex's foreshadowing implies he's heard Syro somehow & the tracks we haven't heard are beyond the tracks already discussed. But, seeing as Rich has played those tracks in the past to an audience, I would venture to think those are the ones he feels are "best" & what is on the album may be less than.

 

In any case, we have 2 more albums to look forward to after Syro.

 

It's amazing this stuff is 6-7 years old, but is groundbreaking and innovative as ever. You really have to admire Richard's dedication to his craft.

 

 

Well, not all are that old. He said that there are several new compositions, which I would take that to mean in the past few years.

And I totally admire his ears, he wouldn't be one of my favorites if not. Guy can put toons together (everybody has probably seen vid below, but Rich is a monster composer when you hear his shit in another light). As for craft, he's got that Axl Rose Chinese Democracy thing without being Axl Rose's Chinese Democracy.

Thank you for this.

James’ five-year-old son recently taught himself how to use a music software program that he downloaded off Pirate Bay and even uploaded some tracks to Bandcamp.

I have never been so excited about a five year old. /deadpan

I genuinely believe what he said about sitting on 5 unreleased albums, can't fucking wait *crosses fingers about him releasing his 'electro-acoustic' album*

syro = \ˈsī ˈrō\

which pronunciation reminds me of:

sire = \ˈsī(-ə)r\

archaic : a man of rank or authority; especially : lord —used formerly as a form of address and as a title

anasyro?

I dont like Pitchfork as an review site but they seem to ask interesting questions for their interviews.

i´m so happy about this:

• SYRO features unintelligible vocals from James, his kids, his wife, and his parents. so he has more kids and again married ?
  
  and THIS
  
• James’ five-year-old son recently taught himself how to use a music software program that he downloaded off Pirate Bay and even uploaded some tracks to Bandcamp
  
  
  Aphex Trible in the making !!!

Sounds like the prophecy is coming true.

you have access to all the gear, you're 16 years-old and your dad is god. he's sleeping, mama too, you go to a party and kill the dancefloor djing some of the old man's unreleased gems.

you're 22 now, papa showed you how to use the machines, you're starting to get as skilled as him. the year is 2028, robots are replacing humans, papa richard got cloned.

2046: afx is the new wagner, he's got his own festspielhaus. rushup edge has become a place of pilgrimage for fans all over the world.

2053: death of aphex twin. the heritage is yours, the clone is making some of the finest tunes ever heard by human ears. you have the power to change the world, but you take too much cocaine and you die. afx's clone is still there, he has no conscience but keeps doing gigs and releasing albums.

2101: afx's clone controls the earth, drukqs 2 is out on warp. humans kill themselves when they hear the music.

10044: it was all a dream and you were in a coma for 8000 years. you look at yourself in a mirror and what do you see: you are actually harry potter.

Both Pitchfork and the Fader announced a Q&A running in the coming couple of weeks. Are they being told what info/tidbits they can publicize on what day? Is Richard doing an AMA for press only the next couple of few weeks?

Glad to see the mythmaking still going in his interviews (the 5 y.o. downloading software off Pirate Bay, lol) anyway. Nice read for both sites :)

besides Phillip's interview on pitchfork I get the feeling not many of these corporatized front Music review places don't know APhex's discography very well. I'd be willing to bet most of them totally missed the Steinvord /speculation. Would like to see him answer a question about that though.
