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

i get what you mean by this, but it's more than just a macbook! prepared pianos swinging from the roof aren't cheap, and imagine the insurance on such an instrument.

or was the roof swinging the last track on syro actually? can't remember, but point being drukqs wasn't made with only the computer!

 

The Barbican performance of Aisatsana is separate to the album recording. Besides, he wasn't swinging any pianos (as far as I know) on Drukqs.

Tastes and preferences aside, it's quite obvious that Syro was recorded on a far bigger/more expensive setup than any of his other releases.

Mainly because it's listed in the liner notes

A laptop that had sampled quite a bit of expensive gear.

Give Syro a bit of time, when drukqs came out people didn't getit

i think drukqs was made mostly in a car. i heard that somewhere. like he was traveling or something

it was a tank

Oh god yeah!!!

Has anyone tried to de-ringmod the background voice in papat4 that comes in around 2:04? I just noticed it. When I get home I might try to figure out what it is.

Checking in to say this album is holding up really well. Still easy to listen to in it's entirety when the mood strikes. Solid as holy hell.

Probably my favorite tripping album

drukqs are tracks

syro is sory

Aphex & Squarepusher had a bet, who can make the best album with a laptop and fruityloops. Drukqs & Go plastic were bornt.

Just got this version in the post https://www.discogs.com/Aphex-Twin-Syro/release/6140509

It was sealed and all mint but how come there is a leaflet advertising the Cheetah E.P and other artists releases for 2016.

weird or what?

red hot car

That song is way out of control! those lyrics lol

Can't believe this thread is almost 2 years old (as well as the album). The past two years have gone by way too fast.

produk 29 should be at the beginning of a jackie chan movie.

It took from release day until about two weeks ago for Syro to go from the most underwhelming album I ever heard to being among my top ten albums ever. I don't know what took me so long to come around to it, but jesus is this album a masterpiece.

I know I'm two years late to the discussion here, but the SHEER AMOUNT of activity on it is astounding. It's not my favourite (though it may end up there) but I have to say that this is probably the best music he has ever released. In every single regard it's of the highest quality. I never thought he'd beat Drukqs and Rushup Edge, but he actually did.

I think it might have been the emphasis on melody that made it so difficult to understand at first. I am just not used to Aphex Twin tracks having this much melody going on in them and the whole time it felt so very different to everything else he's ever done. It's a real outlier in his catalogue, I will say that. Even though he started to change his sound with the Analords, I feel like Syro still feels so detached from the Analord to Rushup Edge progression.

Honestly, Syro came out of absolutely nowhere for me and confused the fuck out of me for two years. It's so far from what I expected and honestly I'm just floored by how after all this time Richard can still release things that make me laugh out loud in elation. Such a fucking legend. I'm going to be blasting the shit out of Syro for a looooooong time. I actually can't wait to listen to it again.
