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

I can't remember the last time I tuned into the radio to listen to a song. It was so fucking worth it. Yes.

tracks that work all of AFX's "periods."

So true, very exciting to have been waiting for a long time and then be given the chance to experience this... All AFX periods at once.

Just in case Richard's reading this. Thanks.

Enjoying it still sinking in.

I'm astounded by some of the sounds.

Song is awesome, so much more awesome than the live track hinted at.

 

Am I the only one who thinks it sounds quite similar to Plaid? Being a massive Plaid fan, this is an plus imo.

Yep, there is some plaid feel to the main structure while all elements are obviously rdj. Metz too.

I tell you what I think is sad and disappointing is that plaids new album has 5 pages of chat while syro has way over 100 in just the build up.

Granted, 99% of that syro thread is man children wanking over the coolest artist to name drop in conversation. ;)

Why are people comparing this with BOC and Tomorrow's Harvest? I'm the only one thinking they have nothing in common either in intent or delivery?

what is he saying??

i hear "why did i ended up with you?"

I like it. It's good. Not great, just good.

I've no doubt there's much better on Syro.

so good. damn this is an exciting day!

minipops is some straight future shit.. this album's gonna be on fire!

im giving minipopz 8/10

I'm listening to it on a pair of unforgiving monitors, sounds really well mixed.

Same here. The person who complained about the mastering, what's wrong with it? This sounds awesome on all measurable levels. Top-notch production as far as I'm concerned. Warmer than The Tuss. Very 3D, alive. I agree Rbrmyofr, the bass is just perfectly balanced.

00:48 running through the fire

00:51 they found the astral body..blinking away ….???

01:43.8 Eyes.

01:51.8 Saint John? Where’s your house?

OR .. how he died? in the p.. with you

OR hiding out in the car?? :(

I found it a tiny bit bass heavy but all I had to do was turn down my subs a notch

top notch production just eq'ed a bit heavy on da bass.

I'm not complaining though like I said it's an easy fix. Press button on each sub. fixt

Where are you guys getting the 24bit WAV? I only have an MP3 download from Bleep.

He has an active account here - he can comment at any time he wants to!

Your subs might be a little too loud. It sounds great at the treated studio I work in.

im guessing that those that pre-ordered the 24 bit wav get to download this track as 24 bit wav..?

vinyl/cd/mp3 preorders get to download mp3.

I feel like what he is talking is some squarepusher shit like in red hot car?
brilliant claps and the fem voice ~2:54, listened ~3 times and it's even getting better with each listen

Make mediocre beat with some funky stuff over it.

Put some random vocal at the end

Also possible (though they sounded fine before on all the hundreds of tracks I listen to monthly)

Like I said, no complaints here. sounds lush

Fantastic piece! Caught myself whistling that detuned arpeggio, which is something that only happens with the best pop tunes à la The Beach Boys. Beautiful special fx too, working like powerful musical accents. And fascinating vocals, awesome meandering arrangement, lush synthesis etc. Gonna listen many times, there seems to be so much going on, without it sounding too "full". Hope this will be a big hit, so the kids will have some proper pop music again, instead of all the contempory plastic tripe. By the way are the vocals lyrical in any way? I thought i heard "Why did I need more" or something, but English isn't my native language.

So brillant, FINALY !

Cant wait to hear how this Will sound as an album, that Track is the perfect tease...
