    APHEX TWIN - SYRO

    in Aphex Twin

    Posted

    So I just discovered all this shenanigans the other day, here is my impressions so far.

     

    Syro:

    Quite good. However, it is my least favorite of his recent stuff, including steinvord. And of course, doesn't stand up to the classic aphex releases - SAW, SAW2, rdj ablum are still the unholy trifecta for me. Overall: 7/10, quite good.

     

    Piano Music:

    I'm sure this is a revolutionary record in the field of piano music, however I felled asleep almost instantaneously upon commencing to listen. I heard "it happened" on youtube and really liked it though. 10/10.

     

    Soundcloud:

    Have only listened to maybe a dozen tracks so far. Kind of hard to rate, the quality ranged from pretty bad to almost really good. But there is no longer a possibility that he held out amazing tracks from us. I can see why all of these are unreleased. I like u-ziq's soundcloud a lot more! Mike wins. 6/Paradinas.

    Pretty much, tho haven't heard any of

    Mikes dump and I'm never impressed with uziq anyways

    Right, is there a download of the dump complete with every track sorted into a virtual album of the prospective year it was recorded? I keep getting lost and it would be handy if everything was categorised by a hardcore (hatscarf) into 1988/1989, 1991/1992, etc for easy listening

    Can't find any info about this, but I miss the chants that were blended in at the end of the Metz version, what were the chants actually from?

    Quoting myself cause I just can't find this out. Was it a track that he dj-ed in? Cos it works.

     

     

    someone said something about it being an african choir or something like that

     

    Would have been amazing if the final version had this bit intact, would have just finished it off PERFECTLY. xmasevet is indeed one of his alltime best.

    Where's that beat on "how much I wanted you" that breaks in briefly from? Start as you mean to go on? Also reminds me of that track off "feed me weird things"

    Why is no interviewer asking Richard:

     

    1. How important is mastering to you and what is your definition of a good mastering?

    2. What's your take on the loudness war?

    3. People have accused your new "sound" of clipping: what do you think?

     

    It would probably shut up a couple of people on here hehe.

    There was an interview a couple years back and he said his old tracks were way less limited and sounded 10x more aggro back in the day than modern tracks do. Was it a polish interview I think?

     

    And this is track is just hitting 0 it's not clipping but all audio editors report 16bit 0 hits as a clip but they're not, it's a lira toob of 16bit so don't worry. There is no actual clipping.

     

    For the same aesthetic just listen windowlicker which sounds way more compressed with all the sidechain from the kick drum even if the track isn't hard limited by -6db or -8db

     

    In fact mini pops is like windowlicker part 2 really just don't confuse these tracks with analord.

     

    Actually, analord 8 or 10 has some AWFUL hard limiting, check the waveforms but remember that waveforms mean shit.
