APHEX TWIN - SYRO

ah cool !

mad

frightenmare

I'm really surprised that there isn't even a sniff of this album on YouTube yet. (not including Minipops and live clips)

On one hand, that's pretty good going. It's obviously encouraged everyone to buy the album, or at least check it out on Spotify. The downside is that all the non/casual Aphex fans will be exposed to the shitty fakes, and assume they're legit.

Love that groove for the second half of 4 bit, when the staccato string melody comes in. Sounds great at any speed apparently.

Not exactly Syro related, but I was watching Eastbound & Down last night and noticed this.

I don't know if anyone else has picked up on this before, but I thought it'd share it anyway.

Highly random, but the 4th iteration of the VOCALOID speech synthesis software was just announced by Yamaha in Japan. Relation to Afex? Look closely at the laptop of the guy from CRYPTON (the company under Yamaha that produce it) at the announcement:

Aphex is omnipotent

PUB

Sirius XMU rock station was just playing Minipops 67. It's a rock album after all.

yep, that mix is the shit!

btw all this talk pushed me over the edge, just paid way too much for the Japan release...hope you're happy with yourselves

ps. those mixes are hot

Listening to this album on repeat with quality headphones has really improved my alone time. I am loving CIRCLONT14 (shrymoming mix). Super positive and alert is how I feel, great for doing math.

The album has the classic Aphex sound but wow that Japanese bonus track is really futuristic =)

Love this album with good headphones!

I really love the bonus track, sounds very futuristic indeed. Can't believe I even doubted if I shoud get the japan version or not .

Haven't fed up with the album. Loving it both ways: with headphones or speakers. I still get shivers when listening to Minipops and smile like an idiot when PAPAT kicks in. Have to confess though that I thought that Metz was little bit too long and there was nothing happening somewhere near the end. Now I'm surprised when the whole track seems to end before I even realize. It's as long as it should be. Amen

Japanese Bonus is pure bootyjuice

Mmmmmmm......bootyjuice.

Love the bonus too. It is the newest one on the album he says. I could go for more like that!

But what I can't understand is why RDJ is putting up those bpm info on each and every track on Syro.. I mean it hasn't been relevant in earlier album releases right? So why now?

Also the gear list oboy, he said in the interview it was not 100% and wrong in some tracks.. and no DAWS? come on ;)
