xy_politics Posted September 5, 2014 Report Share Posted September 5, 2014 So, Aphex writes a pop (proper, genuine POP) masterpiece and puts it right at the start of the album. God knows what's in store for the rest. That rhythmic whiplash, right where the beat kicks in at 4:15 - wow. Made every hair stand up on end, I involuntarily high-fived an imaginary RDJ and did a little moonwalk.

Rbrmyofr Posted September 5, 2014 Report Share Posted September 5, 2014 It looks like it's soft clipping a bit but it doesn't sound smashed. And as all good producers would say, don't listen with your eyes. It did sound extra compressed on the BBC 1 and 6 shows, but they've got a load of high end compression going on already over everything they play, which is the standard for radio shows.

Uniret Posted September 5, 2014 Report Share Posted September 5, 2014 Ok call me a cunt for my simpleton ways, but this is some old brushed up AFX aka TH almost EXAI.

Nostalgic, beautiful, chill out, classy, with a touch of his quirky smile. Only he can come up with these melodies. Much more complex and layered than Tomorrow's Harvest, that's for sure! hnow lets not compare notes like that catching up with the thread now. better `un!!

Real Human Bean Posted September 5, 2014 Report Share Posted September 5, 2014 Person releases beautiful music which is incredibly produced and mixed. Not at all harsh sounding or crushed, the end result is a very pleasurable listening experience. One could say that it sounds great in fact. People complain about the way the waveform looks.

Guest BunnyRabbit Posted September 5, 2014 Report Share Posted September 5, 2014 Why did I think Depeche Mode??? Weird. There's a feel to it with vocals. Probably just me. Anyway, I didn't rinse the live tracks so hearing the 24-bit is just like finally tracking down a record after hearing it on the radio in the background a couple of times. "walk in the park with you" is the last bit but the rest I don't know. What did Ian from tDR say 'exteremly personal" was it? It does sound like a serious lyric. It's a progression. Of course it is. He just gets better and better. You could hear it in the live recordings. Now we have it in UHD.
