APHEX TWIN - SYRO

That melody in syro u473t8+e coming up at 2:05 is great. Doesn't sound like Richard at all (not because it's great, of course). Maybe slightly ceephaxy.

Oh, you can get it on bleep TODAY. Okay, downloading then.

Git 'er down! Tomorrow will be the present soon and anyone still listening to Syro will be living in the past.

maybe some day when we're in our sixties, we'll do another Kickstarter to unearth the elusive, mysterious post-Syro LP that never made it beyond test-pressing.

pls no. why would you imply such a horrible thing?

Oops, didn't mean to imply Syro is a "hello, and goodbye forever" album. I meant 'cuz the next release after Syro is gonna blow our minds again with some truly next-level shit, he will re-proliferate, and it'll be like he never abandoned his fans in the first place. We'll have too many new releases to hear and forget about the second Syro album for 5 years

this is some seriously groovy shit. so crank it up, turn off your brain for 2 seconds and feel the funk

Brian Dance aka Richard D James already proved Syro is merely the first in a series by posting a string of incredulous happy faces in response to the comment you *thought* ismcpn2 made

So far, I don't like the album either.

 

To be honest, it sounds like richard noodling around with his hardware, no more no less. The tracks sound sloppy and disorganized. Contrast this with the sort of clarity he gets in, say, analord, SAW, and melodies from mars tracks. You may say that's a different style, but even on drukqs (e.g., vordhosbn), he has initially complicated tracks which are based on some clean principle (there are very few distinct thematic elements in vordhosbn, which then get layered and organized beautifully).

 

Also, I'm missing out on any big structure in the tracks. They just feel like pointless meandering. This is especially painful since so many glorious aphex tracks have a point that takes time to reveal (the journey remix, bwoon dub,acrid avid jam shred, etc).

 

Arguably I should listen more to find more structure. hopefully I'm wrong, and will see after more listens. But for the time being, my feelings on the release make me so sad about it that it's painful to put it on. I'm currently listening to other aphex which is just a world of difference....

As an Aphex fan for like 20 years now... fuck i'm old, also I love this album!

Thanks, Rich.

FUCK YEAH: got my download from bleep and in some major "SYRO" bliss. This despite the mountain of grading I'm in the middle of conquering this evening. This album is going to rule all my audio playback devices for the foreseeable future. So, so good.

THANKS RDJ! So glad to have you back.

You're not old, there's just more of you spread through time to have loved.

No email from Bleep saying I could download but I just did. Wtf? Anyways. CIRCLONT14 is a highlight. Not getting much love on here.

Same here! Just downloaded my fuggin MP3s, finally!

I have to say, my highlights are "180db_ [130]", "PAPAT4 [155][pineal mix]" and "aisatsana [102]"

… probably because I'm old

SAWI = Experience

SAWII, ICBYD, RDJ = Jilted Generation

Drukqs = Jilted Generation 2: Even More Jilted

Everything since Drukqs up to Syro = Fat Of The Land

Syro = Invaders Must Die.

i have 12 posts and I don't like the album imo

if you have below 100 posts, seriously get the fuck out of my face. It's like really? You want me to think your noob ass has a valid opinion? unbelievable

Post count makes your opinion more valid? Get the f**k out ma face. Just shows that you have less of a life.

 

Just kidding but, your attitude whiffed a bit.

 

You haven't been around long enough to have an opinion.

 

 

Haha.

I've been here since 1999 and have less than 300 posts. Not necessarily a noob.

I know it's a joke.

What I want to know now is where are the Chartreuse Aphex Logo T-Shirts?! Let's get on this, Bleep!

probably grates though doesn't it. "Maan, i was around when you were still choking down cheerios as a morning regimen before going off to have your brain laundered". Stephen's brain is whiter than white.

Very nice Japanese bonus track.

Not heard the rest of the album yet...!

Both vinyl and CD just arrived in the mail

No stickers or dropcard sadly.
