The exclusive thing is "CIRCLONT6A [141.98][syrobonkus mix]" on BBC Radio 6.

Yess. I hope syrobonkus is the legit syro single, complete with music video directed by andy jenkinson. Shots of rdj in lab coat pointing at things off camera over washed out lsd colours and hyper editing.

Aww shit, she actually says 'pseudotimestretch'.

Bleep = Blerp = Twerp

Those high pitched detuned synths that creep up in the background of 180db_ sound to me to be mimicking the effects of tinnitus. Especially when the drums drop out of the mix at around 2 mins and you're just left with this whistley echoing.

sounds great of course, reminds me of the Tuss (that i loved to death) but also of the Wave funk cd by DMX krew (which is truly good as well)

okay, i hate my speakers, what headphones should i buy, budget of £60-80, one recommendation of in ear and over ear, k thanks

Grado SR80e. They're open backed though, so other people will hear the music if you're listening to them so they're not great for in work or on the bus.

 

i agree. i was going to suggest grados if open-backs fit the bill. for closed, check out Audio-Technica ATH-M50S.

Every time Produk 29 starts I'm like....

Bleep Bot

Dispatched: 18 September 2014

Aphex Twin
Syro
Vinyl

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

produk 29 would be funkier if it didn't have the wankery chat in background.

kills it 4 me

produk 29 is turquoise hexagon sun of the Syro

IMO a bit of squarepusher and Wagon Christ influence in this album, unusual as his stuff normally tends have a very personal sound.

yeah. straight off the bat the album sounds a little looser and mellower (production and editing is still top notch aphex level shit, but the vibe is mellow and playful).

as such, it seems less bothered about showing a little of its influences :)

Almost through my first listen, my god it's good. Very Anal/Tussy but I'm not complaining

First thing that sprung to mind when listening to Produk 29 was Vibert.

some of the melodies in syro uu47318+e are jenkinson-esque, (if squarepusher comparisons had to be made!)

I actually quite like that it's going to be an evolution of those styles (2.5 hours until I can listen....). It's almost like he's finally saying, 'it's all me, guys'. Even though he's not revolutionising music forever, it sounds like the biggest surprise is his willingness to blow apart the stigmatised 'Aphex Twin' name and show it for what it's always been: a brand.

To be honest I think his music released outside of the AT moniker is as good if not better.

eh?

Circlont14............jesus.... that breakdown.... this album is really really good.... anyone else notice that Circlont6a and Syro_u473t are remixes of each other?

Piezoluminescence is awesome. Singapore was great to hear, especially the end which I'm not really familiar with. Earth Portal is killing it.

I wish Metz was a little faster

In the middle of my first listen now (on track 8 at the moment). FUCKIN' AWESOME ALBUM!! Exceeding my expectations by a long shot! Pleasantly surprised numerous times by little things that happen here and there, but I'm also very happy with the overall mood of the whole piece, so far.

How can two tracks be remixes of each other? Like, is the chicken a remix of the egg or is the egg a remix of the chicken? Hmm...

Produk 29, Syro u473t8+e, Papat4 (pineal mix), Aisatsana, 180db_, 4 bit 9d api+e+6 are the one for me

plus a special mention to Minipops of course,

the rest seems more complicate to digest so far, they need more insight

the whole release is beyond my expectations, strangely enough i'm finding XMAS-EVET10 (Thanaton3 mix) too spreaded and long,

the vinyl experience would change that normally

come on blerp let me download it already

I hope everyone still buys it despite this leak, Richard needs the kick in his butt to get him releasing more stuff
