Well, of course I'm kidding, and you're entitled to your opinion...

...however incorrect it may be

Seriously though - I'm genuinely curious how songs like Minipops and Patapat (amongst others) aren't (to you) shining examples of Richard at his best...

joypapa y u kill the rolling lol...

no boc for us :(

The track Syro is funky af.  I would've thought that one could be appreciated by just about anyone.  I can understand how the others wouldn't gel with some people, but that one sounds like a universal boner to me.

I just wanna clarify again that it's not that I don't appreciate that the tracks are well made or good in their own right, is simply that post tuss aphex sound is not my cup of tea (n I know he don't owe me anything yadda yadda, ts just ma ears I guess)

I always heard the following...

Girl 1: “well it was fookin one o yas”

Girl 2: “disgujsting”

Was it on here I read it was a sample from Made In Chelsea?! Does anyone want to volunteer to watch every one of the 8 million episodes to find the exact bit?

...but you have't heard it?

fucking lol

I'm so much into Syro I'll do it for all of us. XMAS_EVE alone already makes it so, so good

Loads of bomb shit on there. mastering ain't great on the digis imo. Bare frolicks loud tho.

Xmas has never been a highlight for me, but definitely a curiosity since I'm aware how crazy everyone else seems to be about it.  That's a track I look to when I'm trying to understand other peoples' tastes.

Earth Portal is peak-Syro for me.

this + 4bit are my fav.

I can't believe his comeback record is going on 5 years old now.  Fucking time...

The album this year will be awesome. Mark my words.

The vinyl master is vastly superior. It’s not quite as compressed and limited. The digital sounds like they over did it with multi band compression. I will say the 24bit digital from blerp sounds slightly better than the cd or mp3. However there’s a tasty 96k24bit rip of the vinyl floating out there in shared land.

It just breaths better. It’s not so jarring. Those first notes of minipops doesnt grate into your cochlea like the digital release. It sounds balanced too

Words from Aphex's mastering engineer for Syro (Aphex chatter starts at 24:57, cool insights and perspective throughout, though).

Finally got myself a vinyl copy of syro over the weekend and I prefer the mastering too I think. It's interesting as I'm not particularly a fan of vinyl, more of a cd guy. This makes me wonder if it's an age thing. Vinyl can't handle the frequency response and "loudness" that digital can so I'm guess the vinyl has a more restrictive frequency and greater dynamics which I guess I'm used too, its kinda like the way I love the sound of tape. But anyway yeah I'm saying I think the vinyl Is better too..would much prefer a digital version of the vinyl master's though, never been a fan of tone arm resonance and additional crackle. If rich wants to upload one to the store he can get my cash a third time.

Syro is better than some other cumback albums I can think of. 

Everything since and including Analogue Bubblebath 1 has been a bit meh.

Just to be clear. I think it's a great record. Rich is the fucking daddy.

180db I can do without mind.
