him and gasman are two of the only 'idm' people that really seem to venture into crazy prog territory with their melodies. Does Cylob have traditional music training?

Pretty sure I read he used to play trombone?

i think he might be autistic.

ive talkedd with curtis roads via email and read his books, i think he might be aspergers

Got an email a day or so ago that the vinyl was delayed because of inevitable queues at the pressing plants. The digitals are available at the links in pizza's post above + bandcamp:

Yeah, it's been moving back each friday for several weeks, so we'll see. Anyhow it sounds great

Ahh righto that makes sense. Anyhow, nice to see the digitals are up will grab shortly :)

i don't think there is any doubt Cylob is a genius, whether he's 'autistic' or not is a different story.

There is a quality to his melodies that i don't find in much other music. Other artists like Plaid and Squarepusher play around with similar key changes and bent pop melodies but not quite like Cylob. Part of me wonders if he uses some kind of mathematical deterministic technique to make chord progressions or melodies (like a purposefully tweaked/fucked up markov chain?).

just got this now, sounds pretty good after a first listen, nice to hear some of the more mental sounds from the lobster tracks era making a return, but keeping with the utterly bizarre melodies he's been gravitating towards in recent years. will need a few more listens I think to get the full measure of it.

Stupid! No download with the preorder of the vinyl via bleep.

Vinyl is in stock over here:

got the vinyl yesterday, listening to it now. A2 works really good @ 33RPM, which I guess was on purpose. this EP is madness

Enjoying this immensely. The end of Granular Psychosis (Ect Mix) has some spectral stuff similar to the Metasynth sounds at the end of Windowlicker. Can anyone check if there are hidden visuals in this?

picked up the digitals from blerp today. Mission to Mercury makes me want to stomp. with heavy boots on

now playing. **********uuucccccckkkkk

Granular Psychosis is ridiculous

can't get enough of it

sounds great @ "33.3rpm" too (0.74 speed)

proper braindanze ra (;

It's been a couple of years since this was released. I'm hoping new stuff is on the horizon.

same. can't get enough of Cylob

oh fuck

I always thought that track was meant to be 33 and he was having a bit of a piss?

All this afx "45 or 33" biz or whatever. I think it sounds better at 33rpm
