    "Five from the top, three from the bottom

    but only two from the middle." :shrug:

     

    ... take a guess at the locations in which the tracks were recorded. five overall, three recorded in cornwall, two in london. might also relate to the locations shown in the video?
    it got me thinking of the countdown numbers round
    Ooh rachel riley

    Well, possibly...but he's an old-timer, so he's probably more intae Carol Vordermanhosbn..?
    T69 collapse song length is 5:23

    This whole saga has left me on the edge, I don't know whether to crave more releases or settle for what we have.

     

    28 Organ.... n_______n my gf said that it was 'nice' (melodies) but not something she would listen to. That's an accomplishment in my books!

    yeah I mean i dont what so start some gender discussion but i seems his rougher, metallic 90´s stuff he uploaded ( the first 90 tracks ) is mostly for men ears ?

     

    does someone know girls who listen to ventolin or 73 yips ? just curious

    My girlfriend put me on to Ben Frost's latest album, I reckon that's almost more menacing than RDJ's industrialish stuff.

    Yeah I'd agree. I saw Ben play Aurora live and it was so loud that it caused me to hallucinate.

     

    i heard he started bringing actual guitar amp stacks on stage with him, was that one of those shows?someone told me he was using a lot of clever guitar vst amp trickery to get by before that, sounded convincing though

     

     

    I saw him play By The Throat and some other tracks at EMPAC during his residency there [some of AURORA was created using field recordings taken in one of the concert halls, iirc]. The bass was so intense my internal organs were resonating, I started to feel sick and it was to date the best live show I've been to.

     

    big water ez doesn't have nearly enough plays you guys.

    APHEX TWIN - SYRO

    in Aphex Twin

    After opening the japan digipack, Syro immediately took permanent residence in my car. I drive a lot, and for approximately 90% of my commutes it's been the sound emitted from the speaks. Sometimes I start from the top, other times I pick up where I left off, there's hardly ever an case where I get out before the end of a track and after close to 100 loops, I can say with confidence say that this LP is more than appropriate for the Aphex Twin moniker and forces you to reassess the rankings of his LPs. Every track has a pace in the progression from open to close, and each is impeccable in form. It's not my favorite, but gd it's good [quite good, if you will].

     

    It's hard to digest that RDJ will likely win a Granny tomorrow. But considering the competition, it shouldn't be a surprise and is overly deserving for such a perfect album.

     

    SAW II, RDJ, Syro, SAW I, ICBYD, drukqs...in no particular order because I just keep shuffling these around as a result of perpetual indecision.

    i've tried explaining to numerous individuals that no other 2015 release is relevant. this entire distribution is unfathomably awesome and massive. I'm super excited to see how this all plays out. i'm inclined to think there may be a use of the audience feedback (likes & listens) in the future. to rdj it'd be a filter of sorts, but does he really care?

     

    perspective: 110 tracks in the first dump is two more than the total quantity found in the Aphex Twin LP discog. it would be stupid to think that he couldn't put a factor of 2 on all releases to date across all aliases with this act.

     

    edit: th1, i'll rest easy tonight.

    I must say the occasional tape degradation on the 88-90 era tunes adds a pleasing William Basinski-esque quality to the tracks.

    This. Decay of obsolete tech directly translates to quality works of art.

     

    Edit: highlights for me on this round are water and Sekonda thru Bradley echoes. Water takes the cake, sounds so familiar and fits perrrfectly alongside 14 07 B and slightly with 12 space beat
