APHEX TWIN - SYRO

We are kindly asked to hurry up with this research so that FACT and NME can post another simple clickbait article with no credits for it.

Have We Are The Music Makers unearthed Aphex's kid's Bandcamp yet?

its ridicolous that some of you even think about comparing Druqks with Syro.

180db feels really dark to me for some reason. (?) It makes me want to jam out and smash a TV or something in a dark warehouse.

i saw that and I already commented something to the effect of

100% chance of a creepy bandcamp employee already searching out obscure Scottish IP addresses, although if Richard taught them well they're using Tor to upload it.

I still can't spill the beans on my G**gle story (yet) but let's just say if you're an IDM fan and work for them finding out personal info (like search history dating back for almost a decade) about your 'gods' is just one click away, although highly unethical and probably against company policy.

edit: lets just say that we put an awful lot of faith in these .com companies thinking that employees aren't creepy/stalker like or 'serial killer' esque as Richard put it. Nothing could be further from the truth

edit2: so while yeah I get the joke that watmm is supposedly a group of overly obsessed fans who study printing methods on mysterious photographs, we are far less creepy than what only needs to be a handful of Google or Bandcamp employees with the right access and properly aligned disposition/lack of ethics.

I'm guessing this NME journalist hasn't read Julian Assange's new Google book.

I'd say look for spelling mistakes but if he can dowload and get a cracked version of renoise to work and make decent music he's probably not too bad at spelling.

i said that to somebody today, this track is violent ! like it doesn't belong here, this is why it's short, he needed to express some nerves in there, for sure,

it was 180p_ or the postman !

cool shirt, but c'mon man you should of used the real font instead of that console text

Upon first impression Syro u4473t8+8 sounds like a fleshless anus on legs with an eyeball peering out of the aforementioned slot. It's like a cross between Hellraiser 2 and Monsters Inc.

Circlont14 and Bit 9d sound dark to me as well as parts of many other tracks. Maybe I'm projecting lol

the opening to Circlon14 is the darkest part of the album for me, after the 1/3rd point it gets pretty up beat almost sort of Brazilian street festival vibes. In a weird way the more happy parts remind me a lot of a guy i know Scuzi who made a lot of AFX inspired music

Edit: actually forgot about PSilosamples
, getting strong vibes of that

I think that's one of the things I find fascinating about the album so far, there seems to be a lot of conflicting emotions and changing moods even within the same track.

this album is so fucking great, thank you richard

meta pile on meta, i just tweeted that to her after she said 'what' after i sent her a confusing barrage of tweets

so where are the WATMM Veterans, the guys with kids and who've received grim reaper themed 'over the hill' t-shirts as joke gifts. You guys were all in the Tomorrow's Harvest thread, but suspiciously absent from this one.

people it's an amazing album, you decent folks will hear it soon don't mind us maggots leanin on that afx leek

what's interesting to me is how much crap he does with manipulated voices in this one. It's like cliffs+mould+meltphace da da da dum dum dum voice x 100000

I'm trying to do a track now that heavily modifies cheap recording of popular radio song off laptop mic and makes it unrecognizable. I used to look for THE WEIRDEST sample but listening to syro there is so much you can do with the most innocuous sample/voice bit. Also lush acidic sounds w/o 303/real 303 and blurring that line where you don't know if it's synthesized/drum machine/break/vocal/ all of these things at once

not all the tracks have hit me yet/seem almost like a pisstake but I'm sure they're not. shroomingmix is the one where the voices really spook/amaze me like a fast meltphace

edit: added 'lush' this was necessary/important to add

WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT

is it made up of two pasted a2s meaning where the fold is, is where the 2 parts overlap?

Every time I put it on it seems like a completely new album. There's so much to take in on some tracks that I only seem to remember tiny little bits each time. Syro u473t8+e might be the best sounding track I've ever heard.

the unprocessed sort of choir voices at the end of track 2 are brilliant, very brief but ultra catchy. Aphex is the king of bringing in a super catchy element for 1-2 bars and then dropping it completely.
