APHEX TWIN - SYRO

i believe his story that its just a made up word he uses with his kids

u really believe that tho? just some word they throw around for fun or what? it's gotta mean something. maybe we're the kids he's referring to. does he even actually have kids? is this confirmed?

In spanish potato is "patata", so it sounds kind of "Pineal potato"

could be like 'tap tap', as in tap dat pineal gland

Why?

it would be senseless to make a title with no meaning. especially after over a decade.

...

you think drukqs has no meaning? drug use

aphex stated on his soundcloud that is was not meant to refer to drugs, it has no meaning

do you believe everything you're told?

better than making shit up and stating it as fact

i'm not stating anything as fact, just throwing out some ideas. I don't know how you can say Drukq's doesn't mean drug use, when I bet a majority of intelligence beings would clearly say it looks like "drug use". Just because aphex says so? he's a pretty big troll. not a very reliable source of information. probably isn't a twin.

Even if it didn't mean anything, the average listener is not going to research what aphex said about the title and they're just going to assume he's referring to drugs in some way

I'd really hoped you were joking

well think about it. do you think he's really a twin just because he said it? I always thought twin kind of meant that there's an aphex in all of us. hence putting his face on people. there's an rstark in all of us. we're all connected. that kind of deal. maybe too new agey for this bunch. Like the grateful dead phrase "steal your face". when you listen to aphex music you become his twin. uncontrollably influenced to some degree, whether you want to be or not.

not that my interpretation is that important, just saying that just because richard says something doesn't mean it's 100% true. And that it's pointless to think syro doesn't have a meaning. because if you assume it doesn't, then it will never mean anything, taking away any meaning that might have been there that you could be missing out on. and as a huge aphex twin fan you wouldn't want that, right? so you COULD remain skeptical and have a balance of thoughts, considering both that it does and does not have a meaning, as to not miss out if one were actually there.

It's not like I'm asking him to prove his kids. I'm just saying not everything you hear about aphex is true. the same goes for all kinds of other artists that make up stories about themselves to add meaning to the music. damn no need to be so rash and rude. isn't the point of this forum to discuss aphex twin?

yeah, sorry

had a moment of shitpost weakness

i don't believe everything afx says either especially about drukqs not meaning drug use, it just drools shrooms all over

i do believe syro is just a cool made up word with no meaning

btw i didn't like papat4 but now i like it alot almost 2 years later :)

*jetpacks the fuck out of thread*

it's not important whether you can trust what afx says or not, all that's important is that what he says is not important. the names aren't important, the music is.

important

Syro = helicopter

because psyduck - police - toast + rogaine for men = helicopter or gyrocopter

also gyrocopter is >psycedelic hero

syro's a pretty great album. not as good as drukqs. maybe his second best.

it must baffle him knowing drukqs was made on a pismo macbook and is considered better than syro which was made with a million dollar studio

by some, of course.

Syro is my fav album of his.

I don't really care how it's made. I mean I do, it's interesting to know, but I try not to let it factor into my enjoyment of the music.
