After all these years I just realized Cock / Ver10 is awesome. For whatever reason I skipped that one consistently. Oh and syro is great <- see! still related to the thread!

I just went to Love 7 which was the first track going into the direction of SYRO. It sounds really cool now. I didnt like it much back then

I really wonder what Aphex would do with the current standar electronic music set up. Ya know, logic, huge banks of samples, the massive softsynth, with all the other popular plug-ins... but now in the hands of Richard. Pretty sure my mind would explode. He has sort of made things hard for himself with all the hardware (very respectable and has obvious benefits) But him working with something "easy" I imagine the most beautifully complex thing imaginable popping out.

I agree upon hearing this track more recently it does give me that sense of direction heading to Syro. That said I have always thought this track was great, played the live version of it repeatedly, then it was released with the bonus Analords and it was a great xmas surprise back in 2009. Same thing with most of the Syro tracks from old sets before the album was released, played this shit out of all those unreleased tracks.

Imagining all the dope 'Shops Leonardo could have produced is almost enough to make you weep.

lol. I see your point. but the man made RDJ album (very digital) in 97 for god's sake. The standard digital tools these days can do some incredible things.. which he seems to be actively ignoring. Would love to hear what he would come up with using them.

and ... it's gone. NEVER to RETURN (not replying to the poster above me, so don't freak out).

lol very nice

The recently re-booted Double J radio in Australia, catering less to the "youf" and more to older farts like myself, is doing a special on RDJ in a few hours time.. 8:30am UTC. Should be available to revisit later on their site.

J-files features can be decent, it's cool that they have put together an Aphex special - it's streamable online, so anyone who's not asleep in the Northern Hemi might enjoy it... Will be getting my li'l one into bed early tonight and settling in with a drink! But with all the Afx-kid talk lately, maybe I should force feed it - she already DIGS Minipops.

Enjoy, phlaps

Heh, nice. I remember last time they did an RDJ j-files. They played some good stuff! I remember some nerds calling in and correcting Richard Kingsmill's facts, zole

Very listenable thus far - the DJ has interviewed Phillip Sherburne, has played widely from Analog B1 through to Fenix Funk and CIRCLONT6A syrobonkus mix, about to interview a classical music guru of some sort. Tried to test a caller on whether it was RDJ or RD Kingsmill..

Although he has said "Tuss" rhyming with "Bus" six times, and I've always pictured Tuss like "puss". Made the bold claim that SAWII was acknowledged as his finest album. Also the "power station" quote he attributed to SAWI whereas it was II.

Tuss rhymes with buss in my head.

yup, same here

sorry didn't work for me

The text form article the link directs to is quite interesting. Cheers.

haha, yes obviously, but something about the beat makes me think of radiohead

My initial thought of Minipops was that it sounded like a hybrid of Windowlicker and Cornish Acid.

In fact, I find a lot of the tracks on Syro give nods to certain RDJ tracks/albums/eras. The Japanese bonus track is essentially SAW 85-92 on steroids.

yeah I can see what you mean. They've been into those kinda textures lately. Reminds me a bit of their live stuff from King of Limbs, but not really the album itself.

the double j people got a lot of facts wrong :( said rdj album was 1995

 

i enjoyed the analysis of windowlicker too :)

yeah, a few inaccuracies here and there, but at least the guy knew about his aliases, and mentioned the Caustic Window album release.. he didn't mention WATMM, but I tweeted them with the address so hopefully we see a few more Aus people popping up

Listening to Syro right now.

Currently on Produk 29.

Amazing fucking album.

I like Syro, because it has one or two moments which are alright.
