    APHEX TWIN - SYRO

    If it's not new music than i dunno what it is. Maybe a Chris Cunningham video for 1 of the Syro tracks?

     

    Ain't gonna b a tour announcement cos aphex says he's over that

     

    If its reissues without new music than its not even exciting. i dunno mayne

    I really can't wait for the more experimental albums he has in the pipelines. SYRO is nice but its just dance music. I want some shit I can listen to on my own and zone the fuck out or go mental to.

     

    Listening to drukqs after SYRO is just like daayuuum this some next level shit. The mental beats r way less cluttered and have more interesting sounds n shit... and they seem to progress nicer. And the piano trax on drukqs r fucking boss.. they balance the mentalness with calmness perfectly. The anastasia track is way too minimal for my taste.. keen as fk to hear more piano works tho.. a whole album wud b legit.

     

    I kinda reckon he just threw together his most dancey tracks together for SYRO and didn't put too much effort in to how the album wud progress. I'm glad he says he's done with this sound now.. not that i don't like it, it's great dance music, but im keen as fk for shit like Icct Hedral or On 28 mix or whatever... shit that i can zone out to and b taken somewhere else. True IDM stylez. Bring on Eznzea and Xbpi!!

    You obviously have yet to get into the circlont's, syro, or the jungle track yo... or they have yet to get into you... shit surpasses drukqs imho.

     

    I have gotten in to them and I like them. It wasn't until i listened to the mental drukqs tracks afterwards that I realized how much better (imo) the drukqs tracks are. Ziggo, 54 Cymru, Mt st Mike, Omgggyaa r just so insane its ridiculous

    Received the LP this morning ("La Poste" too...). Download codes don't work though.

    where you finding the download codes? my card doesnt say much on it

     

    It's on a little paper card inside the sleeve. Haven't tried it but it makes sense that it would only work from the official release date.

     

    thanks, i hadn't broken the seal on that yet :)

     

    I 'broke the seals' about 5 minutes after getting home with these yesterday, too exaited.

    On a side note, I've also been revisiting older Aphex. His sound design/clarity of sounds is mind blowing. Every single track of his the sounds are unique and interesting. I reckon that's where people fall short these days.

     

    The Joyrex 11 track is gold. Funny how I hadn't heard it until yesterday... still discovering new aphex

    It's very easy to get that kind of sound in a tracker. Especially the grittiness/dryness of HAB (and some of the crude time-stretching used).. and time-wise it fits in with the release of FastTracker 2 in 1994.

     

     

    Pretty sure he used Cubase & maybe something like Cool Edit for the HAB stuff. Also i wouldn't say the time-stretching is crude, a few of those tracks have some of the best time-stretching sounds i've ever heard.

     

    To get the drums sounding key you just need to make the midi track 1 voice so that they cut each other off. Pretty sure Cubase could do this back in da day. Combine this with changes in velocity and ur gold

     

    I don't think Aphex did use trackers (at least not extensively). It's Bogdan who's the tracker master in Rephlex
