    Umm, wow!!! Los is fantastic. Starting to really feel the direction they're taking here.

    so it's pretty....like, really pretty. But it certainly lacks 'beats'. I guess after this long it's not exactly what I expected but I like it for what it is. I think Bricolage/Permutation/Supermodified/OFOW Tobin are long gone, and that's ok. Those are timeless albums. I'll be listening to this quite a bit, it definitely has it's own mood. Nice wind-down/late night album.

    just remembered that one of the leadup tracks to Scintilli was '35 Summers' which out of context was pretty forgettable, but hearing it within the scope of the full album made it sound almost like an entirely new track. Might be similar with Recall. Bottom line is that picking up new Plaid material is automatic. Been a major fan for the past 20+ (!) years, and always will be in the future. Polymer should be dope as hell.

    This is great news! I’m diggin Maru but recall isn’t doing a lot for me, doesn’t sound much like Plaid. I’m not usually a big “hope it’ll sound better in the context of the album!” guy, but....hoping it sounds better in the context of the album. They are one of my favorite all time groups and have built up a huge amount of goodwill with me so I will be picking this up and enjoying the hell out of it.

    this is amazing, I can't wrap my head around it yet. it sounds like the soundtrack that would play if my toaster went to hell, after having died while it was taking a bath and another, second toaster was thrown in electrocuting both. or something like that.

    Oh, gosh!!!!

    Dude is doing an amazing job with the artwork lately. Lexapro is a great track! I like when he's able to keep a consistent sound for a full tune. Nice vibes on this one.

    I guess I meant they added it for people who pre-ordered as well, not for people who purchase moving forward. So if you bought on bleep, the download should be there! I used bleep in this case because I was able to get through to them first during the pre-order craze. Otherwise, definitely would've gone through the direct aphex site.

    Looks like Bleep added the bonus track as a download for vinyl customers. I'm generally happy with bleep but it is really strange how bumpy the ride is for major releases.

    is this slsk only right now?

    I realize opinions wildly differ when it comes to RDJ, as he scratches different itches for many of us. But he's been putting out music for over 30 years at consistently great quality. We're really fortunate he's still creating, releasing tunes, and playing live. This track fucking rules and I won't let anyone tell me otherwise. But I can understand how anything new will feel underwhelming, stacked up against his past. He's set a crazy standard to meet.

    Love getting 500 errors and stalled out pages when trying to throw my money at someone in an attempt to complete a simple purchase
  13. Friendly Stranger
    godammit, what do you expect when you hype it up with posters, videos, cable networks, etc. oh also, it's APHEX TWIN how long bleep been around? ugh.
  14. Friendly Stranger
    CANNOT GET ONTO BLEEP OR AFX SITE

    selfishly, this would be a really great year for an album but really, any year would be. just feels like there's alot going on in the world right now (understatement) and it would help bring some escape. I love TH to death but i'd really go for something with a more uplifting vibe, yet really strange. Somewhere in between Geogaddi and TCH maybe. "Nothing is Real" is an example of a track that has that effect.

    this vid is really great

    Babylon and Warning are straight up unlistenable while Toys 2 and we'll take it are quite good. The rest is pretty forgettable, but I'm admittedly not a big fan. Just like to hear what he's up to. R + 7 is a great album front to back. Somehow this just isn't 'weird' enough for me. I'm a little surprised by the auto tune. Maybe a move to be more accessible? Or maybe he just likes it.

    I'm reasonably confident we'll have an album no later than this time next year. Selfishly hoping for a late summer/early fall release. Absolutely nothing backing my speculation other than it's been a while and also I need new BoC tunes in my life right now. They always seem to release albums during times of big change in my life. So, now would work too. Yearning for new material to obsess over and break down track by track with the Twoism folks.

    This isn’t for me but good on him for trying new sounds
  20. Friendly Stranger
    not that anything else they make is any different, but this DEMANDS to be listened to on high quality headphones.

    Just imagining the ending of 2001 or Annihilation to this session, am enjoying having brain leak out of ears.

    Thursday!!!! I was was listening to 'Eastre' from Elseq this morning and had a moment to myself where I dreamed it was the soundtrack to the funeral for my toaster. So, that's where I'm at right now. How are you guys?
  24. Friendly Stranger
    I can’t even imagine what’s in store for sessions 3 & 4. Even The Lawnmower Man would be tripping his balls off over mix 2.
  25. Friendly Stranger
    Fuuuuuuuck yes
