I know what this community needs... more elitism and gatekeeping, right? 

What we need is more people reading our comments into a camera and responding to them on video at length. Truly peak forum is when the forum is abandoned entirely and we can each monetize our opinions while also boosting our egos.

let's just not

 

 

please?

I almost feel like T69 collapse was a necessary track to lead this ep. It's similar enough to the acid + breaks trip we've been on since essentially analord. but it also collapses away from that and into new territory. In that way, it's the perfect gateway to the otherworldly tracks we hear for the remainder.

 

if this ep had started with 1st 44, our heads would have completely exploded. Or we would have thought it was a fake. It's almost as if Richard wanted to make sure that we could handle the new direction that he's taking us. He cares about us guys. He really cares about us.

t69 collapse is very reminiscent of syro whereas the others are just something else entirely. curious if he'll still do a xmas_eve era release in the future (or sprinkle a few on the warp store?), i love both directions a lot. still can't get over abundance though, i feel like listening to the "manchester track" 6(?) years back.

MT1 is kinda meh

maybe they'll grow on me, I guess I'm just really not into footwork and juke. I got past it in 2011 I guess https://radology.bandcamp.com/album/sueta-nebitiya

 

Weird seeing it make a come back in such form and also quite unexpected that it's coming from Aphex Twin. but hey, it's just our opinions, right

CHATMM quit paying me years ago, my lulz/posts ratio wasn't up to snuff. If only I were more racist. Edited August 14, 2018 by auxien

I don't understand how Aphex Twin can be influenced by some artist making fancy footwork from Gary, Indiana. After 30 years of making music and setting trends and basically inventing genres I thought he was sort of above that. It's like when you're THAT good and famous, you can't let yourself say "well this drum part was sort of inspired by Iglooghost" like seriously wtf.

 

Also don't understand how anyone can be legitimately from Gary, Indiana.

Umm he’s been influenced by different genres and artists his entire career — rave, ambient techno, jungle, etc. Why is this any different?

cringing hard right now

i'm just disappointed because footwork. nvm

Thoughts as I'm listening.... 1st 44 - Is this even Aphex Twin? Don't like the reverb tails on the percussion or whatever gives it that unpleasant sloppiness... hmmm.

Ok more percussion. So far not intrigued.

fucking cowbells ruining it all the way.

What is this, african tribe rhythms?

Yes, the first real aphex-twinesque thing comes in and that's the detuned pad (duh)

SCRATCHING??? da hell

What was that loud scream?? so many questions

Oh yes, some cool distorted rhythm is coming through, so far a little better

Ok so... Kicks and sloppy reverb? Not sure I'm loving it

Done, well, that was unexpectedly bad, got my excitement down a bit

lol

yeh dafuq with them post-african beats n shit, afx used to invent amen break and musics now dis... nah.

 

edit: didn't listen.

life is too short for this purist shit, just listen to it and enjoy the exhilaration, instantaneous and life-affirming abundance, high hats and sauntering arrangements, brain-scrambling noise and much much more

Nice, is that a subtle Cinebench reference too ?

abundance is wonderful, that moment at 2:43, "happiness" and then the pads come in and then eventually those slightly stutterry tom-toms, hits me in the heart

watmm being suckled on for youtube content is a weird feeling
