    APHEX TWIN - SYRO

    i understand they are alien technology from the 80's, but why are we still using CD's? Only reason im considering a CD purchase is for the album swag. Ive had it with CD's. let's leave them behind with Robert Palmer. .They buzz and stop and start like a circular saw in my computer. im sure im alone in this.

    back when i was a young'in Warp was THE label. They really had all their eggs in one basket with the artists we all love here. but they didnt release stuff often enough to keep the label going and changed into a totally different beast.

    it amazes me that some people are annoyed these live tracks are on there because they have already heard them, even if the tracks havent changed much they are still going sound so much better in proper quality and all of them are as lush as fuck!

     

    I'm not annoyed that these tracks are on the new release. I just don't want them to be the best tracks on it seeing as I've listened to them forever & thus will lack any major surprise. I wanted 100% surprise for purely selfish reasons. I would agree that the mixes are probably different to some degree & will undoubtedly sound a million times better. I'm hoping Joyrex's foreshadowing implies he's heard Syro somehow & the tracks we haven't heard are beyond the tracks already discussed. But, seeing as Rich has played those tracks in the past to an audience, I would venture to think those are the ones he feels are "best" & what is on the album may be less than.

     

    In any case, we have 2 more albums to look forward to after Syro. :whistling:

    you could have so much fun with Manchester.. i say he pumps it through a bunch of amps into a wooded glen at night with 20 mics recording the reverb. some haunting medieval shit

    Without reading all the posts, I'll tell you what I know from my own personal experience...

     

    My mother has had clinical depression for 25 years. I've grown up around it, and I know it well. I was in denial about my own depressed state for most of last year. Everything in 2013 culimated for me on 2nd January this year (a LONG story cut short), I woke up crying. I didnt speak to me wife, I just went straight to the doctors as I knew I HAD to this time.

     

    ...I need to deal with my past...

     

    Kyo.

     

    Thanks for the story Kyo.

     

    When I read something like this, I think it's awkward that doctors go so fast for prescribing drugs. Because the way I read it, you waking up crying might have been exactly what you needed. To me it reads like a sign that your past is finally catching up to you and you are getting ready to emotionally deal with it. Growing up with a clinically depressed mother is a lot to cope with as a kid. There might be a huge hidden sense of loss down there, which comes free when realising that because of her condition you didn't get your needs met as a kid.

     

    IMO, the only thing those pills do is covering up exactly those emotions you need to deal with.

     

    I'm not sure whether you see it this way, but waking up crying can be a good thing. Underneath is a (emotional) realisation. Conscious or subconscious.

     

     

    i disagree my friend. clinical depression is a liar. dont trust its logic. meds are wonderful. they (hopefully) stabilize you enough to see how irrational you became

    marf you may well be right but as part of your treatment, recognize that the cognitive distortions associated with anxiety and OCD are so great that they can border on the psychotic/delusional. I'm not calling you crazy but I think your vulnerability combined with the huge discomfort associated with disclosing sensitive stuff is priming your anxious, perseverating brain to interpret unrelated cues as proof of her eavesdropping and divulging to others. You don't have direct evidence so you can't waste too much energy on "what ifs".

     

    On an even more crucial level, if these people would treat you differently, they are not who you need in your life anyway. Definitely bring up the sound masking device but in the meantime, focus on nothing but you. You can't do anything about it even if it were true. You're going to look even more unstable if you confront the receptionist and the grocery folk. Let it go.

     

     

    heeded your advice xxx. glad i did, thanks! :-)
