Cause he is the godfather of that scene. :)

I wasn't expecting so many chiptune elements. Some of it really makes me think of ceephax.

WTFFFFFFFF

Aphex has never released a "proper" album, maybe just SAW 1, but the others are just a bunch of similar sounding tracks. And, as always, great fucking tracks and the other stuff...

Also in Metz track if that's the voice of his son, well that's pretty emotional :')

i can't find it, but analord 6 sounds amazing on vinyl right now.

anything in particular you were expecting? Heh.

I listened to the barbican version of aisatana too many times, now I hear the piano swinging noises in my head when I listen to it.

exceeded my expectations, fucking mental and lush...

I remember a time when I'd be hitting all the p2p networks trying to find it. Now it's like, meh, I'll go pick up my records Tuesday.

I was expecting some fun moments, and i got those. But i am really disappointed by the lack of interesting melodies/chord progression, especially in the second half of the album, despite some really cool basslines. I don't like the way it's mixed/mastered, even if i was expecting a lot of lofi sounds. Some parts are really messy.

We got so much good electronic music for the past years, it's not surprising Richard can't top something like Druqks (and he's close with tracks like the Metz track), but i was expecting some shivers down my spine during the listening of this album, and it never really happened.

I just listened to it once, i have to listen to it a few more times, but i know it's not my new favorite Aphex album.

I wouldn't say the mastering is bad... Whatever it's doing it's allowing sounds to be very very snappy, which would be lost in I guess more normal mastering.. I am put off by it but I imagine in a week I'll forget it was ever a problem.

Everything sound very dry. If that makes sense.

i'm going to have to get used to this album, but the albums I have to put effort into getting used to are usually the best. I can't judge Syro for now. I'll have to listen to it a couple more times.
