Aphex Twin: minipops 67 [120.2][source field mix

Pre-Drukqs meets Post-Drukqs in the absence of Drukqs.

it doesn't sound like he changed a lot of it compared to the live versions floating around - i'm really pleased about that. the track has parts where there is breathing space, and not overloaded at any point.

i'm getting a very Come to Daddy vibe off the new track even though in some ways its production is Tuss
reminds me of this but way more polished/intricate (especially the end part of minipops). Has Richard started using his Kyma again? voices sound like it

Fucking gorgeous melodies and sounds, love it.

I haven't had time to analyze it yet, has anybody figured out lyrics for this yet??

yeapppppppphhh finally.
I could tell that this is not fake :)
i like it, had to listen 10 times more to really tell. not like the best on drukqs, but its just one song. very clear sounding, and those freaky voices, like a cross between ween and kraftwerk.

I like that he is doing his thing and not some fucking dubstep trying to keep it "modern". but what is more modern than aphex twin anyway?

long live to the outsiders

voices at 2:47 and the repeated piano motif in the last two minutes are amazing.

Awesome. Simply awesome.

it's great, not overwhelmed though but super happy on a big picture state

it's because i've heard it so much on the youtubes, it's hard to hear it with fresh ears

still, great music, not cheap, generous, creative, complex, unique

i'm sure i'll love this more in its album context

Heard it once and won't listen to it until I have the full album. Otherwise, you listen to it too much and end up skipping it when you have the full album.

This should be a lesson to all of you: don't listen to the youtube gigs! Or at least not 100 times. LOL Imagine hearing Aphex's first album in years only to have a déjà vu feeling. That must suck.

Not bad.

Pitchfork didn't add the track to the section best new tracks. I expect a 6.9 to Syro.

Track is lovely and I really like the fact that it's not modernised with the latest sound design tricks. Groovy acid all over. Yes! The beat work reminds me a lot of the track Do You Know Squarepusher. WHICH IS FINE.

Welcome back, Richard. Welcome.

thats the first song it came to my head

minipops is chill

Brilliant song! I love every bit of it. This in no way disappoints me. I'm super excited to hear the rest of the album.

Listened to the 24bit WAV a million times now; definitely won't skip when played on vinyl either.

Sick, absolutely sick.

this song gave me all sorts of wonderful, great feels.

not to be a rusing rimmer, but the first coherent stream of words that formed in my center-center-left place of my brain, was 'quite good'

then i got prompted and triggered to post about the quite good incidence here, but then watmm did difficulties, or i did, or whatever happened and i listened to the song again

then i realized living out of time

i particularly loved the unfilterd vioce

mind blowing. like a phoenix rising out of the ashes of that god damned bootleg we all listened to a few thousand times. pure class. can feel elements of drukqs, tuss & even atmospheric components stretching back to saw85-92. gonna be a hell of an album. here's to hoping track two is that metz tune.

Those shaker samples tho
