This track is one of the most beautiful ones out of the bunch IMO. It hits a spot emotionally for me that no other tune has done in such a raw way. The beginning is like a timid hope, then it descends into some of the most lonesome hole with fleeting melodies reminiscent of that initial hope. Kinda reminds me of the progression of love lost and the realization that come with such before gathering up and moving on. But that also could be because the title hints at something to do with his previous lady. No song has ever broke me down as hard as this one. Absolutely brutal and brilliant. I have to pick when I can listen to it because it brings up a lot for me. I won’t…

The more I listen the more convinced I become that Jlin and RDJ are like best buds now. The beginning of abundance with the pitched rapid-fire polyrhythmic kalimba, claps and kicks is like something straight off of Black Origami. I love it. You can absolutely tell these two have been chatting and swapping works-in-progress over the past couple years. And I'm talking specifically Jlin, not footwork as a genre. I hear very little of the typical tropes like repetitive vocal samples found in earlier footwork releases e.g. Bangs & Works or Double Cup, though most of that shit is absolutely mental. Whereas any of Jlin's most recent output from Black Origami, w/ highly s…

Didn't see these up here. Feel free to delete if so. One's a short 3 min montage of Aphex interviews and Soundbites by Mixmag. The second is some review channel doing a 40 minute "guide to Aphex Twin" trip through the AFX catalogue.

Collapse Video 1 2 3

Watched the video a few times now and goddamn, what a beautiful video. Weirdcore's visuals complemented the song perfectly especially in the middle section during which what richard referred to as the collapse. It's cool to hear that richard is thinking in visual terms with his music but it's even cooler that he was able to find a more than capable visual artist in weirdcore. All his live sets have been enhanced by this guy and now we get a video that is just as visually striking, although completely different, from the iconic videos Chris Cunningham made in the past.

Anyone else make dumb stuff like this? Used Josiah Parry's R package geniusR to retrieve song titles from rapgenius. Dictionary letter distribution from Wikipedia. I spent a lot of time trying to find a (freely available) font that looks like Syro to no avail, if anyone can recommend a better font that'd be appreciated.

https://player.vimeo.com/video/109797905?app_id=122963 (sorry can't embed?) I'm hoping to get an ID on either the track or show (or both) that's shown here between 00:18 and 00:50, it sounds quite good

those who seem not to get enough attention, by fans, watmm, the media.. whatever really My vote... Meltphace 6. Clearly overlooked, maybe not loud enough. When I listened to Drukqs this morning it reminded me a lot of Rushup Edge.

On next tuesday https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0b88k6l Music writer John Doran ventures into the strange world of Richard D James. Over the course of three decades James, known to his legion of hardcore fans as Aphex Twin, has achieved the primary but evasive aim of most serious musicians - the invention, exploration and curation of a truly unique and inimitable sound. Born in Ireland and raised in Cornwall, James was radicalised by the underground acid house phenomenon that swept UK clubs in the late 1980s but, unlike many of his peers, he seemed equally influenced by ambient, New York minimalism, power electronics, avant composition, techno, industrial an…
