APHEX TWIN - SYRO

If it's not new music than i dunno what it is. Maybe a Chris Cunningham video for 1 of the Syro tracks?

Ain't gonna b a tour announcement cos aphex says he's over that

If its reissues without new music than its not even exciting. i dunno mayne

US tour or old material. Maybe we'll get AB6.
But even those don't live up to the hype of being better than new music, so unless whoever posted the pic of Richard visiting us personally is incorrect, it's not more exciting than Syro was.
And, I'm probably going to eat my words.

A revitalized Rephlex is the only thing that could be that big of a deal.

I am thinking that it might have to do with Rephlex. Sorting out the rights and all that might take a while.

So Joyrex I guess 303 is THE page where you want to make this announcement right? Preferably rather at the top of it for sake of clarity.

Off the speculation train for a sec to share a personal story (still very much to do with Syro of course)

 

So I've been headphones in, full on obsession mode since the album was announced. Either listening to the live recordings, revisiting old releases, then when Syro came out, obviously wearing that out big time. The whole time, the GF wondering what EXACTLY have I been so crazy about. I would sort of pass it off with " oh its this crazy guy that makes really weird techno that I have loved for like 15 years, he is releasing a new album. I've been waiting for this FOREVER etc." The whole time thinking she would basically hate this music.

 

And even as "welcoming" Syro is I still though, well, it can't be THAT welcoming for someone that thinks if there is no singing and guitar it is immediately shit. So the LP came in yesterday and she is like "I'm listening to this, I've never seen you this way." I was actually weirdly nervous. So to make a long story short she listened to XMas Eve and LOVED it. And even the Circlon stuff which I basically warned her about, she would listen to it and just keep laughing.. and said it was really fun and entertaining. And with Aisatsana she got a little teary.. especially after I told her he made it for his wife. Now this morning she texted me saying "ahhh I just want to listen to more aphex twin, I can't get it out of my head, I see why you love it."

 

I guess part of the reason I'm sharing this is I thought it was pretty amazing this album has the ability to attract someone not into electonic music whatsoever. Its sort of a testament to how truly good Aphex is, despite it being "weird". No wonder so many of us got so damn into it back in the day. It is powerful music actually. This is his "fun light album" but if its the first time you have ever heard anything like this, it can open you up to this "world" just like RDJ album did for many of us or SAW1 did for the real old timers <- ;)

 

Ok I'm done now.

that's a cool story!

when minipops came out i actually sent the soundcloud link to my mom saying "i think you might like the sound of syro", she really enjoyed it! now that i've heard syro i'm kind of nervous cause from 180db onwards it gets quite weird (not as weird as other stuff by him, but for a first time aphex listener?). so i'm really excited what her reaction will be like, i'm hoping for "some tracks are strange, but somehow i listen to them again and again and now i really enjoy them" :-D...

i'm having a stupid problem with Syro. Like a good % on this board, I try my hand at IDM. Of course I'm not very talented and dont have the scratch for decent gear, but I try, I try. It's all slightly embarrassing.

Anyway, I can't stop trying to figure out tracks on Syro. This leads me to looping one measure at a time and breaking it down and trying to rebuild it Reason or something like that. I wake up in the middle of the night with basslines in my head like a fever dream. I imagine others here have encountered this problem-- should i take a few days off from Syro? I realize this all sounds silly but it's making it hard for me to just enjoy this thing.

your avatar is a perfect companion to your post. just stop it and you are good to go. if there's one thing that syro is all about is being yourself artistically, so there's no use in trying to replicate that. Enjoy yourself, fall in love, feel good. Music will follow.

word!

Believe in yourself! Get inspired by Syro, but follow your own path. And remember that not every bit of kit on the lp is costs a fortune, there's stuff on there that just about everybody could afford.

Engage!

just found my invite to the NYC listening party in my spam folder.
