hey I want to be 1º too ;_;

I LOVE IT. Still really want to hear NEW shit though, I can still hear the audience whistling in my head at 1:05.

I'll bet my last dollar that the Barbican track is the piano outro :)

FACT interview here too... I am itching to hear this! Second-last track sounds intriguing

As a somewhat casual Aphex fan who has never listened to the live tracks... I really like it!

troll reviews payed by warp

Minipops has definitely been mastered to be "loud". Quite a bit of squaring of the peaks when you look at it but my ears haven't tired of it so far. I wonder if the vinyl has been mastered differently. As a comparison here's what Read For The Dead looks like, none of the peaks ended up clipping:

my hunch for the final track comes from the musical phrasing; Ana sta si a.

that said, The record will come out, I'll be wrong, and look like a rite c___

I guess my Drukqs revisionism desires will be unfulfilled. The fact that someone would say there were no "wtf" moments on that album makes me really question how much they understand about music (not just electronic music, music in general).

naysayers can go fuckemselves quite frankly.

we've all here spent sunday mornings googling new Aphex, whilst enjoying a renaissance of autechre, a formidable return from boards of canada, clark being clark, and wisp, lone, Richard Devine, and tipper, (to my mind) picking up the slack. oh, and chaircrusher's Brostep album.

s'a good time to be alive, people.

drink it up.

OMG TRACK 1, SOO GOOD!!!!!!

"russian"? Does this mean Aphex would go on Russia today? that would be fucking hilarious, that needs to happen

I think it's safe to say the reviews so far at least don't jive with reality itself. The guy says Windowlicker sounded ground-breaking to him but nothing on Drukqs came close? wtf?

edit: the only fear the reviews seem to confirm is that this seems to be a relatively 'good mood' album with not much in the evil vein of Death Fuck from Rushup Edge.

one of the first things that jumped out to be about the mastering was how bassy it was (one of the bassiest newer period aphex tracks ever) and how compressed it sounded, but it totally works for the track. Is the same guy who mastered Rushup edge responsible for this?

Yeah those reviews are interesting enough. I catch such a trip with minipops actually and it seems, it's just a 7 years old track...I just dont care from when it comes

it's been mastered. trying listening to it on your phone.

Them's the rules.

yeah, this. I think it sounds pretty damn awesome, actually.

super afx sub drones

The description of "180dB_" in both FACT and The Quietus track-by-track reviews makes me think it might be the Snowbombing track. It is around the right BPM too.

@6.57 here for those who aren't familiar:

FACT:

  Quote

05 ’180db_’

 

Bit of a swagger here: this one’s got the confidence to roll with nothing more than the main riff, which is fuzzy and buzzy, and four-to-the-floor kick drum for large sections. It’s the first blatant dancefloor track of the record – bit of a shame it’s ironically the shortest one too, as it feels like it could quite happily just jam on for an age, especially after the straight beat turns into a break not a million miles from the Baby Ford ‘Helston Flora Remix’.

The Quietus:

  Quote

The bpms creep up again for '180db_', which starts out as clattering techno with warped hoover noises, before a breakbeat is dropped and it turns into a slab of gnarly, crusty techno that sounds like something from a Spiral Tribe DJ set from a 90s free party rave-up.
