I would go to this.

It will be full of hipsters dressed as normcore victims, drinking tea and sporting dashing beards!

Hating on hipsters is so hipster right now.

 

not to be a meta-contrarian but actually hating on other people for hating on hipsters is technically the hipster thing to do

 

PHD = post-hipster document

I'm mistaken. No hate was conveyed in either statement. I retract my comment and apologize.

Man, this thread mad me think Bleep had released a track for download or something. You fuckers.

looking forward to Lemmy's review

It will be leaked before the first listening party, so who cares.

Meet me in Novosibirsk

It'll be something like this:

More than a decade of pleading for a new Aphex Twin album and people are going to clamor at leaks. It's almost funny.

maybe. i have pre-ordered the 3 x vinyl.

drukqs was out almost 2 months before its release date. Bought the vinyl ( still got it sealed) when it was availble and later the cds too. ofcourse i will download Syro.why not ?

Nice.

I've forgotten which eye goes where

That's totally fair. Personally, I suppose I'd prefer to wait until I have the product in my hand and play the 3xLPs when I get them - to savor it - rather than getting the quick fix leak after such a long AFX drought.

it would be really awkward to hear this album for the first time in a room full of strangers, what with the permachub, goosebumps, drooling, loss of motor control, etc.... i wanna be in private so i can go full retard.

This guy has a point... I know I'm gonna go Thom Yorke at some point on my first listen

Let the Syrcus begin

Warp doesn't seem to like San Francisco that much, I can't remember the last time anything Warp official like a tour of more than one act from their roster came through here on the same bill.

I really want to go so I can frown with my eyes closed.

Agreed, I want to hear this at home, few beers and a slab of smoked bacon in the fridge, nice loaf of fresh bread, spliff ready to burn if need be. Not standing around with a bunch people I don't know.

Who's going to the NYC date? All of my friends are lame and can't come. :(

The people in the top picture are the same ones in the middle picture but afterwards out at a club listening to some mediocre house. /pretty sure that's how it would be with these media and marketing types that probably have terrible taste in music/ The bottom picture is exclusive to BoC fans. heeh.

Anyone trying for the Chicago US one?

The fuck is with no Seattle, Vancouver or Portland?

I thought there was a 'listening party in Seattle'

There was a reference to a Montreal listening party in one of the larger Syro artwork ( for the LP's I believe ) so either that plan was dropped along the Seattle or there will be a second wave of listening parties before the release.

I'm not a fan of attending these things either, but this record will be a part of my daily life either way and hopefully it will be played loud on a good system, so I would go if I had the opportunity.

No spliffs on first listenings, Rich's music is a drug in itself. My fridge humming is interesting after a spliff. I prefer to wait to be sickeningly ultra-familiar with the tracks until an opportunistic altered consciousness will shed new light or reveal a new perspective. Fenix Funk 5 was one such experience, the track had never clicked sober but then after a spliff I was moving at light speed in the infinity of cosmos until that harpsichord-like outro broke my heart.

Oh man...

I'm gonna be in London on the 5th on my way back from holiday. I hope it starts late i.e. after my flight gets in.
