    I wore a AT logo t the other day at work and a work friend of mine asked what it was so i sent her a playlist of my fave Aphex.

    dude. I don't wanna say your list is shit, it's a matter of taste anyways

    I don't wanna say your taste is shit either. Your list is shit.

    mine is the best, I made a list out of bookmarks

    but it containts 23+4, so it would not be fair to compare my list to yours.

    a list of 30 would be cool tooo

     

    I will post this list, if I don't find a better place/thread for it in a sec

    NEXT WEEK IS THE FINAL WEEK BOYS AND GIRLS!

    Pls don't blow up the world randomAmateur

     

    GOT A RED PHONE GONNA MAKE SOME CALLS, DON'T BE AFRAID!

    Actually I gave up on the leaks but I'm looking forward to something far more important than that.

    I believe APHEX TWIN will annouce or atleast make a comment about the release date of his next project?!? I believe it will be released in 2014 or early (jan/fab)

    Maybe even a 3rd and 4th (singles/eps) during the same period.

    I think people are only showing the waveform because it backs up what we've heard in the track. This was my experience (probably similar to some others here):

     

    I listened to it when it premiered on Radio 1, and recorded it too. I thought it sounded kinda overcompressed but I figured that it was just the transmission (radio is notorious for this kind of stuff). I went back to my recording, saw the clipping (limiting, maximising, whatever... it was audible) and figured that I'd recorded at too high a level. I waited for it to come on again on Radio 6 and ended up with the same results. "Oh well, that's radio I guess". Then I saw that bleep had released it I was really excited to hear it in it's proper, shimmering, full, beautiful Tuss-like glory. I grabbed the 24bit wav and was disappointed to find out that it sounded just the same. Now of course it's nothing major: it's not had the shit smashed out of it or anything, but compared to what I was expecting it really didn't sound that good. It doesn't hinder my enjoyment of the track, but I thought it was weird considering that what we've had from him in the past decade or so has been so clean and, dare I say, 'perfect'. When I saw so many people on here talking about how incredible it sounds I just felt like I had to give an opinion on this. It's all subjective anyway, but after hearing the live version so many times I was really looking forward to hearing that bass pulse ripple around my room and fill the air with crystal clear definition, and this version just didn't quite hit the spot. Anyway, I think the vinyl version will be much better so I'm looking forward to that even more now.

     

    INB4 "expectations", "audio snob", "RDJ knows better than you" - I'm starting to remember why I don't post here too often.

    btw I really like the track and

    I had the same feeling - it somehow felt like a DJ MIX, I'm not saying Tiesto here, NOPE! The important thing is still the atmosphere, the melodies and the rhythm, it get's better with every listen due to the dynamics? Looking back at it today I don't feel like it has no dynamics, it was just weird on the first listen to me...

    shame on AFX these mags do track by track reviews and the fans are supposed to kill each other to get these pre listening events, how could he ever let WARP do this?

    I'm kinda sad right now, fucking major label shit!

    tbh I had to lough a bit when the first break kicked in and I read the SC comments like "hell yeah" just reminded me of that soundcloud update "here is the dropTM"
    for me the 2nd part did it and yeah it is just nice fact to hear aphex twin again and also know it is him.

    I don't want to be the first to say I'm a BIT disappointed.

    I feel that too. I mean, drukqs is his ultimate masterpiece; I found really hard to hear something as emotional and chaotic again. Still a good track, but it's just that, good, no feel whatsoever.

     

     

    for me the ultimate masterpiece is it's still the selected ambient works, but wait for METZ track I'm sure it's the best or one of the best tracks of all times
