Please God let this be true!

More about "compression squares" (artifacts of the discrete cosine transform)

Anal Forensics Next Level

learned the basics of this in calculus actually.

the basics.

not even wiki level tbh

Check this course out when it rolls back around:

Goes into a lot of detail about DCT and other image processing algorithms.

i think the people that usually leak this stuff have made the mistake of listening to the album first and its fried their brains.

I'm really excited for this to be over. Been waiting for years.

next week, next weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek

Yeah I just want to hear it. Considering I got a despatch notice today and it said 7–28 days, and I'm off to Japan in 7 days, I guess I'll be smashing the digital before I get a chance to hear it on vinyl!

i seriously cannot wait for RDJ channeling Pierre Bastian, it's going to be game-changing ... I can feel it. *tom jenkinson rolls in LED mask*

What, like at 6:15 here?

It's bizarre that a few months ago I never thought any of these amazing tracks would come out, now I'm angry that I might have to wait ALL THE WAY UNTIL THE END OF THE WEEK for it to leak. Syro pls.

If warp sends out download codes right after it leaks, this will have been I think one of the best album releases in modern memory - perfect reveal time, t good amount of hype but not too much, some nice interviews, wacky press release, putting up minipops seconds after it aired on the radio, no leaks right up to the last minute. Nice work warp, it has erased about 1/2 of the sting of receiving TH months late.

That happened to me last year on vacay in Boston when Tomorrow's Harvest came out. Had to go digital. I mean I'd preordered the CD so it was probably at my house, but here I was in Boston record stores looking at the CD, and on bloody sale too.

I'm more excited about the new electromechanical album than Syro to be honest.

haha, if I see it on CD on friday (ie. release day in Aus) and I don't have a digital download by then, I might just have to buy it, argh.

is that a music? or you mean electro acoustic.

edit: either way. i agree. i need expanding.

Oh shit, Teaserex in full effect.

I hope i dont look like a troll because its my first post, but i've got the album at my record store yesterday and i have to admit - personally i think the album isnt that great
of course there is metz and manchester track but despite that those other tracks dont have the magic other afx albums had.
The last track is pretty good tho.

Some pirate lurking on WATMM is probably on his way to that store right now.

I nearly forgot to pay up for my vinyl but I just made the bank transfer :)

I still didn't hear it but I'm sure immenent LEAK today... so far I was wrong with all of my predictions

My predictions for release day:

• At 00:01 GMT all pre ordered copies magically appear in people's houses.
• However, when played these copies do nothing but play an infinite loop of Lornaderek.
• People start complaining on the internet.
• bleep.com disappears
• The Aphex Twin and Warp facebook pages redirect to warp.net which is now just a picture of Richard's big toe.
• WATMM goes mental
• Hours go by
• Nothing happens
• At 14:04 all the cool idm people hear a voice in their head
• 'Come to scotland, find me.'
• Mass transit of people to scotland
• Drawn to a voice coming from a large house in a small, sweet village
• An enormous crowd gathers round the house
• Most people arrive confused and talking, but as time goes by everyone becomes silent
• When the last hints of sound have gone, the front door opens
• Richard steps out
• He's not wearing anything except sandals, his now-enormous beard covers his whole body
• Everyone looks on in awe
• Richard stares ahead, to the south, with a small smile on his face
• He starts to walk
• As he moves the crowd parts to make room and then begins to follow him
• The group walks the entire length of england and makes it to the southern coast
• A boat is waiting
• Tom Jenkinson and Skrillex are aboard
• Tears appear in their eyes when they spot RDJ
• Richard momentarily leaves the ground and floats up to the boat
• He lands on the deck and turns around to address the crowd
• 'We are heading for the bermuda triangle. Be patient.'
• The crowd is confused and starting to murmur, but Richard just turns around and the boat sets sail with Tom at the wheel
• As it shrinks into the horizon people start to head home
• Little do they know what is to come
• After a few hours the boat anchors down in the center of the triangle
• Skrillex stops feeding grapes to Richard and dress him in scuba gear
• Richard silently salutes the two, before diving backwards off the boat
• Tom and Skrillex do a collab
• Richard slowly falls to the seabed
• Once there he searches for the mythical door built by the people of Atlantis
• He finds it an opens it
• Inside is the most complex sound system in the world
• Richard knows what to do
• He rummages around in his beard, searching for the Syro master
• He finds it
• He heads towards a simple record player in the middle of the room
• He puts the record down
• The needle falls
• It begins to play
• There is only silence as the music starts to make it's way to the Earth's core
• Once there it collects in a joyful pool of bliss
• Richard heads towards a large unmarked button
• His face slowly changes to a Windowlicker-style grin
• He rests his finger on the button
• And presses it
• This sends a signal to the core, causing the music to spread outwards in every direction
• It races up to the surface, and suddenly, simultaneously, all over the world, Syro begins to play from the ground
• People rejoice
• The recession ends
• All food now tastes delicious
• Disabled people stand up and dance
• The rain ends, permanently, but crops spring up out of nowhere all over the planet
• There is no more crime
• There is no more pain
• Just Syro, and happiness
• Inside the vault, the soundwaves cause Richard's body to disintegrate
• His work is already done though
• A new era has arrived for the human races
• People stop complaining on the internet
