I'm very excited about another Lornaderek.

I think its referring more to the oohs and aahs and vocoders thats on top of the music (ie. manchester has a ton of vocals on it) :)

Interview excerpts are great.

I'm touched that he was touched by fan response to caustic window kickstarter :')

I like how this is one more days imminent than yesterday

You got the touch.

There needs to be some competition on the high street for Pizzeria " autechre "

Propose 'Aphex Syros'

i forgot which of the new interviews it was in but rdj confirmed the equipment spotting in the track titles are what he used on the actual tracks

dammit, of course... a rival pizzeria! I'd make a start on a flyer but am way too tired, probably end up 'shopping Chris De Burgh's face on to garlic bread by accident

I'll add it to the to-do list

Am I the only one thinking he also could be joking about the album's limited edition ? That sounds kind of weird (well, not as much as the 5 y.o. uploading music on Bandcamp but still...)

You are the only one who thinks Aphex isn't joking about that

This thread is generating 15+ pages a day. Biggest thread in my memory was Oversteps at around 350 pages. This one is gonna break records.

106 pages in 9 days? i predict 500+

I remember being a sophomore in high school and hearing "Windowlicker" for the first time. I was mesmerized. Hyperbole aside, it was a transformative experience that changed my musical and artistic interests forever. When I saw last week's tweet, I felt like that naive teenager again. I don't know how to describe my feelings other than incredibly excited and intensely grateful.

Know what I'm most excited for about SYRO? The inevitable Anthony Fantano review

My vote is he's gonna say strong 3 to light 4.

How will Fantano pronounce Drukqs?

CWLP review was pretty lame

Don't really watch shitty YouTube club footage, so this is all new to me. Glad you peeps are excited for it, not gonna bother preordering though.

Same here - really great time to be alive and feeling that magic again is so amazing.

I don't know if your thread page formatting is different from mine, but the Oversteps megathread reached 201 pages in about 2 months. This one has reached more than half of that in a week. Foil started the Oversteps thread and I've been challenged to beat his record, but (knock on wood) as of now I'm not worried that will be accomplished - unless Papa happens to lock this one and pin another thread. :)

I feel you man, I started jumping and dancing when I realized there was a new album title confirmed. I have never done that with any music artist or any release ever before.

Anthony Fantano

I doubt that will ever land on an album. It's as much a conceptual piece as it is a proper choon.

Unless the swinging piano was an afterthought and the choon was meant to stand alone as a...you know...choon.

Dunno.

I'm very excited about another Lornaderek.

Lornaderek featured his parents, Lorna and Derek James. At the time, Nannou and Nanou2 were rumoured to be named after his then-girlfriend, who was French. The last track on SYRO is apparently named after his wife.

Honestly though, let's keep his family/relations out of this and afford the man some respect - discussing tracks obviously named after them is fair game, but as exemplified by my above dip into gossip-ville, it's a slippery slope for sure.

I can't help but be amused by the idea of his son following in his footsteps - kids are awesome and the best hope of any parent (myself included) is your children exceed your own abilities and goals by light years.
