kaini Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Let's talk about 180db! It's a total anomaly on the album, imo. Doesn't mean I don't like it though. It actually reminds me a lot of stuff I used hear at free tekno parties in the late nineties, in squats in the Netherlands - sound systems like Mononom or stuff you'd hear at De Blauwe Aanslag. Crusty, dog-on-string-style rave, in other words. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perezvon Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Anomaly is the word. It's great in a way, nicely hectic, but I just don't like tbh. And in the context of Syro it's almost hateable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ninjatron Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Sounds lackluster to me. Borderline annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ganus Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 I feel like you're probably listening distractedly, or too quietly (note the title) if this track doesn't catch you. It's deceptively simple. Remember, this is Aphex, the trickster. Some of the most important things in Syro are hidden in the background of the tracks.

TwiddleBot Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Sounds good here, like the detuned synths. Aphex Twin's albums have always been pretty varied, which is the draw for me personally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zlemflolia Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 I think it's rdj playing a joke If its not and youre reading this rdj then sorry but you must see why. the level of quality difference from the rest of syro is very apparent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taphead Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 The way repetition is used on this song weirds me out, like towards the end the spots each element comes in or goes out on always feels weirdly off on an individual level but when taken in the whole ends up making its own kind of sense, I enjoy it but I'm still too confused by it to have any real concrete thoughts on it.

katmat Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 This song doesn't exist unless perceived on a huge club soundsystem.. its a totally different beast, all the wonky frequencies bleed together. Its an absolute banger and I hope it gets round the DJ circuits this autumn! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katmat Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 All the songs hes ever made are surpposed to be heard in a club in fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest isaki Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 ^ exactly, it is called 180db after all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Friendly Foil Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Good thing it was released on an album a lot of people (if not most) will be listening to at home or on headphones then. It's a nice song though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verdant Hickies Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 in the context of Syro it's almost hateable. Out of context of Syro it's some really great shit This. I like the track, but i don't think it really fits on the album. I would have liked it on a RDJ Luke Vibert collab of sorts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YangYing Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 1st listen is meh for me. we'll see if I change opinion later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mag Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 This is track what aphex and vibert played alot when they made a sets together. Actually, I heard they played it every freaking time on a stage. I guess it's some kind of track that they both love, despite being simple and different than rest of Syro. Like "anthem" of them together. So i guess it's more personal and idealistic. Maybe he released it just for Luke, like he did with piano track for his wife. Also It was on a "fake" tuss myspaces many years ago, and probably this track is the oldest on all Syro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hello spiral Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 ^ noice, thanks for the info. Peeps in here being quick to write it off need to get over their reactionary adhd-ness. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensate_focusing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mag Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 personally i always loved this track. like "flat beat 2" for me. it's just all about "ta da, ta da da, ta da, ta. awagawagawagawaga". or you get it or you dont =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Atom Dowry Firth Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 'Lovely socks' :) This is track what aphex and vibert played alot when they made a sets together. Actually, I heard they played it every freaking time on a stage. I guess it's some kind of track that they both love, despite being simple and different than rest of Syro. Like "anthem" of them together. So i guess it's more personal and idealistic. Maybe he released it just for Luke, like he did with piano track for his wife. Also It was on a "fake" tuss myspaces many years ago, and probably this track is the oldest on all Syro. It struck me on first listen that a few of these tracks could actually be considerably older than Minipops, possibly dating at least in part back to the nineties even. I don't think this album is 'new' material at all - not in the sense that all of it has been made as a logical progression from Drukqs or Tuss or whatever. ^nice little bit of info there. Did he say this is his most personal album somewhere? I like the idea that he's collected tracks that mean different things to him personally and for his friends and family etc. He said something like 'this is a collection of tracks, one out of many possible albums' - I think he's judged the tone just right with this. They all work together very well indeed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rakataz Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 i've heard that track a few weeks ago on a tuss-youtube-playlist while i was homecleaning. then came the previews from bleep and i recognized the track and i was looking through my listening history on youtube, but the track was deleted since then. i hope he releases an album full of bangers like this.
