APHEX TWIN - SYRO

dense as drukqs
analog as analord

fonky as tuss

wyrd as icbyd
hooky as rdj album

inimitable in every way

Best Birthday present, brought to me by the Aphex Twin.

sad to see richard still hasn't moved away from post-african repetitions

Yeah. I was hoping for some modulating tempi honestly. He should listen to Stockhausen's Song of the Youth.

Ima steal your review for my review k?

10/10

Beyond

Every single moment is gorgeous.

OK previous comparisons with BoC's TH don't make sense anymore. Two very different albums.

cirklont14 snare is a mean guy

omg the spyro synfs

besides the squarepusher ufabulum vibes (which i was not expecting at all) its a great album. First 3 tracks together are killer, especially #2&3 = instant classics

It's pretty good so far. The melodic content isn't very upfront/catchy though. Might take a few more listens to get used to it!

to me it's nothing but catchy His most catchy stuff to date I think... in terms of a release as a whole.

Any example? I find all the percussions a nice addition to his sound. Some of it is like his most "earthly" material. :)

i think petina was making a quip about Stockhausen when a music writer played him an aphex twin track

Look up that interview with Stockhausen about Richard.

This goes well beyond The Tuss, don't you think? Well beyond Analord as well and sounds so much smoother than Drukqs.

Ooooh ok guys thanks for the tip I was slow on this one hehe.

I'm thinking this, but I haven't listened to it enough to decide. Definitely growing on me very fast. My first listen wasn't as exciting as my second.

beautiful

Especially of note, for me, is that there is a lot of emotional content in here that feels very warm and dream / lucid-dream like. Perhaps it is just that I've taken Valerian and am half awake but it is notably deep emotionally. It has been some time since I have been this directly shaken by music.

For a synaesthete it is a lot of information, almost an overload, at first listen so I will need more time to absorb every detail and feeling, but the mind/dream/etc-scapes that it generates within me are immediately vivid and feel like they have one foot inside this world's door, and the rest very much outside.

this certainly isn't very much like the tuss and i dunno if i like that so much, but this is still great

After listening to the rest it actually caught me a bit off guard. Looking forward to listening to it another hundred times and then seeing what I think about it. Definitely happy to be listening..

I teared up near the end of Syro u473... That track is perfect beginning to end DAMN.

Fuck, I have no internet until tonight. Will need to wait w while until I can listen to this. Excite!

Definitely buying this. Every track is bliss.

Beautiful album, start to finish.

i just listened to this on headphones on my bed. really good stuff here. the sound design is just as amazing as the melodies and beats,.. lots of crazy stereo effects. at some points i thought it was almost ambient, not ambient slow but because there are a lot of layers going on in each track it's easy to get lost in.

i'm glad i didn't wait a week!

This is the best album I've ever heard now. Wtf.
First listen -pretty damn good!
Second- Holy shit!
Third - WHAT THE FUCK IT WASNT THIS GOOD LAST TIME O.o
