    Ending just hits me out of nowhere every single time I put it on. Serious skills, like he's taken the greatest pads out of the SAW 85-92 era, the greatest melody out of the HAB era, the greatest drum programming out of the Drukqs era, and the greatest bass work out of the Syro/Cheetah era and just whacked them all into a few minutes, making this new amazing post-Aphex Twin concoction that sounds super new/innovative but super old/familiar at the same time, giving it this timeless aesthetic which really to me is the perfect way to progress his sound. He couldn't be more generous putting all of my favourite bits of his wide discography into some new masterpieces and letting us hear it, I feel spoiled, Emotion is off the charts aswell, so so so serene and melancholic. Great track. This is exactly how I feel about abundance too. Cheers!

    Just thought you should know... A letter just came in from the DH Malaysia office, and it reads the following in script: "What a wonderful corporate world. Fondly, DH"

    I found this absurd bone thugs cover in some other thread on here a while back and I don't know what it is about it, but I found it oddly relaxing and serene to play on my phone at almost inaudible volume while on the verge of sleeping in bed. Helps if you see the swirl of colors from their giant shirts and slowly dancing on the rooftop from the corner of your drowsy eyes. It's like some strange surreal trip back to 2001 on a highschool bus trip to catalina island over night and jocks in the back with hilfiger shirts are throwing shit at some nerdy kids while you try to catch sleep but can't.

    Anyone a fan of Hearts of Space label? Maybe I don't realize it's a staple in this genre but I recently discovered they are a label many years after downloading their radio show's episode with Aphex Twin from limewire/kazaa, which is my all time fav Aphex mix/set. https://heartsofspacerecords.bandcamp.com/

    Has anyone checked out Collapse yet?

    Ugh, if he actually runs (and he probably will) and wins, I may seriously move out of the country lol... Cuz that would open the doors for presidency to be fair game for literally anyone and everyone.

    Trap

    Lane Visitor replied to a topic in Music Discussion

    Grimey underground trap is like the hip hop equivalent of punk rock the more and more I see / hear it. Bratty, youthful, charged and breaking convention for what the genre used to be about. As much as the whole style itself bothers me, it seems to carry a particular spiritual energy that resonates with the youngest generation. I see it as far from rap/hip hop actually, almost unrelated... Rap tropes of course and some of the rhythms but even the personalities are in their own space. It's like an ambient / folk movement for hip hop / r&b. I see a lot of the same shallow thoughtless content/lyrics, but I also see a number of people doing more artistic left field approaches with it that absolutely would have never seen the light of day circa-xzibit / g unit / eminem times. Interesting evolution for the genre, though I still can't stomach most of it lol and prefer me some Wu Tang or Roots or Pac any day.

    Donald Trump's surreal oval office press meeting with Kanye West for the sole purpose of stroking each other's celebrity egos is proof to the modern world that the American empire has finally fallen. Full stop.

    Since around the time of WW2, h**wood is a propaganda machine. 1984 is well here. If anything, we're headed for Blade Runner 2049. Yeah I guess same old propaganda whether it's Walmart/Amazon or Warner/Universal
  19. Lane Visitor
    Reading this article made it dawn on me that Fortune 10 companies are the new Hollywood. It's already Amazon, Walmart (who I had no idea owns Vudu) and Netflix. Next Apple, Google, Facebook. https://www.businessinsider.com/walmarts-original-shows-counter-amazon-netflix-2018-10 I think I'd prefer the traditonal fake pretentious Hollywood. We're headed for 1984 and beyond.

    Also, we'll never learn the simple truth that responding to his lunacy only feeds it. I dont know how you fight a tyrant or oppressive regime/culture in 2018, but I know it's not through criticism, eye rolling, hashtagging, retweeting. Social media has the potential to mobilize and change the world, and it has. But it can't be used as a catch-all template to speak out and create change. I can't stress enough how our im-over-it critique of trump has given him the incredible power he has today. Much like a Kardashian, much like a Kanye, much like a Paris Hilton. We roll our eyes but we WANT to see it, hear it, feel it. We want to feel the obnoxious energy he emits. Because it's potent and nothing more. He's the Hollywood mafia boss, we know we hate him, but we love to watch the wreckage. We love to chime in and be a part of it all. We've made him a god. He is our own making. We're all just looking in the mirror, that's all it really is.

    I hear you, there is a futile feeling of it all, especially considering this trumpism thing seems to only be growing and normalizing. Theres this sentiment... Like hey, if it's not recycled into a meme, you've wasted the opportunity to cash in on it... Or... Don't get angry bro, it is what it is... If that's the way our generation and the ones around us handle apathy/frustration, (purely through irony and absurdity) then fuck us, revolution as we know it is dead. Discourse is dead. Intellectualism is dead. We can't even turn our frustration into goddamn art (and no, memes are not art, they're social media attention-grabs wrapped in adolescent humor--with the rare exception of tasteful absurdity--nothing more). We used to be what I'd consider one of the greatest generations, if not, the greatest.

    My fav was Abundance10 up until yesterday when mt1 started to grow on me ever since. I think mine is: 3,2,4,1,5 Or 3,4,1,2,5 Fucking hard to say... In a few days Abundance may be my fav again. It's easily the most sublime like many of you guys have said.

    I feel the same about Syro. "Background Aphex" is a good way of describing it for me. Something about the overall mix and sound of it leaves me a bit cold. All the right elements are there but I don't get a buzz off it like I do with Collapse. Totally... Just listened to Collapse again, that way that track 1 just glides over you is so fresh. The whole EP is so futuristic, I think we're sure to look back at it over time in the way we saw Drukqs, very next level, potent and rich.
  24. Lane Visitor
    Agreed. Yeah I'm trying to figure that out myself, Syro vs collapse... To me they're so different it's hard to rate, I put on Syro yesterday and realized how contained and compressed it is, especially (what I still refer to as) Metz track haha... It's definitely for when I'm wanting background Aphex, relaxation music that's still sorta funky, a washed out kind of groove that's still heady. but thinking I like collapse better. It's so theatrical and big sounding-opposite of what I felt all his Syro and post-Syro work was. Honestly, it's only weakpoint imo is that it's an EP not an LP lol. On another note, can you guys imagine if SAW III was officially announced?

    I found a gabber record at a dusty old antique shop down the street recently... Really weird.
