After all these years I've finally realised that Alberto Balsam sounds like shit.

And Windowlicker is a terrible production.

Exactly what i'm talking about. You liked the tracks before you analysed them? You thought they sounded good? then why not now you have seen the waveform? trust your ears! eyes have no place in music enjoyment. If you like those tracks less becuase of that then your brain is never going to come up with anything special.

You idiots sure love taking the fun out of music.

gonna load up the album in audacity first and if i see anything slightly rectangular i'm throwing the record in the fucking garbage along with the japanese CD.

Do that

Would you mind mailing me your trash then? I'll pay shipping! Might be cheaper than importing the Japanese CD :)

Lol-lipops 67

It's a perfectly acceptable thing to discuss, the problem is that people are embarassing themselves.

Zoom in one one of the more offending sections of minipops and all you get is this:

Compare a typical soundcloud joint from this year:

We are zoomed to less than a second and it still looks like shit, some very rough squashing of whole bass transients and stuff. This is what the average person is exposed to with most electronic music out there and you're getting hissy about what minipops looks like?

never should have downloaded minipops i'v probably listened about 100times

i still don't get it and that can only be a good thing

So to get the stickerz you need to pre-order? Is it the vinyl or CD? None will come with a regular non pre-order vinyl if I pick it up locally? NEED STICK

sorry if jazzband, but 180 db is confirmed to be the snowbombing track aka vibervibed synth test.

backflips out*

Does something somewhere say you get stickers? I guess you just get the "limited [to 5,000] edition" card if you pre-order at a store, but no stickers?

Well it clearly states on the release that minipops was mastered by Beau thomas whereas the rest of the album is mastered by Mandy Parnell. I also have a friend who went to the listening party in london and they mentioned that minipops was a lot more distorted as opposed to the rest of the album. There was obviously a decision at somewhere along the line to have minipops mastered differently as perhaps it will be the only single release?? anyway I've heard from numerous close sources that another album is also on its way. It seems like that perhaps syro was indeed an album for the fans and that we can hopefully expect something else as well very soon : ) definitely think everyone needs to calm down on here though. It sucks that Richard has to put up with so much judgement. The people who complain about it not being mindblowing enough or that the waveform is fucked etc. I think have lost their way.

I honestly can't hear any noticeable differences between minipops 67 and the rest of the tracks... minipops is more bassy, I'll say that much.

Aphex Twins music looks rubbish. Confirmed.

It's all those squiggly lines - really unprofessional.

I've been waking up every morning with minipops playing in my head...

Not complaining

Hope I get the limited edition £250 vinyl.

I'm gonna scratch off minipops with a Stanley knife because that mastering is WHACK

Come to think of it, his face looks squashed as well! I guess that's what you get when you compress your photographs too f-ing much!
