  1. And honestly, the majority of content strikes on YouTube are automated. Your video might not have even been seen by a Warp employee. They probably would have taken it down regardless though...
  2. Joyrex is being cryptic and won't tell us anything so we're going to break his windows.
  3. Genres are silly. Use BPMs instead. They are a reliable indicator of what the track will sound like.
  4. I am currently eating a baked potato and am listening to Syro and it's quite nice. In a moment I mught take a sip of water and report back on how that makes me feel.
  5. not bad Edit: minipops also has over 1 million views on YT. Almost as many as the Windowlicker video.
  6. Tour Collab with Britney Spears or someone like dat Big re-release of stuff on Warp More Aphex pendants Or... all of the above?
  7. Joyrex only created watmm to give everyone tiny hints about Richard's imminence.
  8. Any bit of music can be 'fresh' to someone if they've never heard anything like it before. Imagine if you had only listened to noise music since birth, and one day turned on an Eminem track. You'd think it was the most innovative and mind blowing thing in the world.
  9. We know a ton of voices were sampled on Syro but we don't know which ones are which. I'm pretty sure all of minipops is Richard but idk for sure. I really wanna know which ones are Lornaderek. I would guess that one of the voices in the 'fucking whore, disgusting' section is Rich's girlfriend but aprt from that I have no idea. Edit: Imma get a list going. minipops 67 [120.2][source field mix] - Richard XMAS_EVET10 [120][thanaton3 mix] - Richard, Dad? produk 29 [101] - 4 bit 9d api+e+6 [126.26] - 180db_ [130] - No vocals CIRCLONT6A [141.98][syrobonkus mix] - Richard, Girlfriend fz pseudotimestretch+e+3 [138.85] - CIRCLONT14 [152.97][shrymoming mix] - syro u473t8+e [141.98][piezoluminescence mix] - PAPAT4 [155][pineal mix] - s950tx16wasr10 [163.97][earth portal mix] - aisatsana [102] - Birds :-) I will edit this over time.
  10. DAMN!!! I'm not pre-ordering from Bleep again. I live in LOS FUCKING ANGELES and my package tracking says "Expected Delivery Day: Thursday, September 25, 2014" That's what I get for pre-ordering the instant it goes live. If it doesn't come with crazy swag, I'm gonna raise hell. I pre-ordered about 10 hours after you, I live in LA, and mine is supposedly out for delivery today. It's being shipped via UPS Ground and the tracking originated in Ypsilanti, Michigan. I dunno wtf ypsi, Mi. that's an interesting spot for shipment origination. Lotta drugs up in that town, so maybe makes sense. Update: I just got two, count 'em, two, new dispatch notices from Bleep saying my order of Syro Vinyl has just been dispatched today, even though it's currently on the UPS truck for delivery, and I got the shipment notification for today's delivery last week. Dunno if I'm getting three vinyl Syros now or what, but uh.... Bleep pls You can use the spares as frisbees.
  11. Most adverts you see on the web are probably generated by your search history...
  12. Metadata is serious shit. I'd leave the BPMs out. This stuff happens all the time though. On the Come to Daddy EP the 1st track is called 'Come to Daddy (Pappy Mix)'. By everyone just knows it as Come to Daddy.
  13. Richard did say one time that he wanted to do a video game soundtrack...
  14. Richard be camera shy yo. Probably. I dunno really. In that one with the cleaver he looks like he's about to chuck it at someone. I bet it's Tom Jenkinson.
  15. I kinda feel like there's definitely more coming. Syro feels like a comeback album, it's familiar but still pretty good. The new more interesting stuff will come later. Hopefully.
  16. pls Joyrex, I made dis last nite. If there is ever an Aphex Twin Greatest Hits album I think this should be the cover.
  17. You people. You are good at editing images.
  18. Is anyone else excited for Batman Arkham Knight? City is one of my most favouritest games, and Asylum isn't bad either. I haven't played Origins but from what I've seen it doesn't look too great. But it was made by a different dev so that makes sense. I really hope they make the combat even more slicker, varied and satisfying. The best part of City was pulling off massive combos with every different gadget/move. I want that again, but even better.
  19. This is exactly what he was talking about in that last interview. People aren't gonna look at Syro as just music, they're gonna look at it as the next Aphex Twin album has done crazy experimental innovative stuff in the past. If Richard had never released any music up until now there's be a far far different view.
  20. Cathy and Richard What does it mean.
  21. If you put me in a room, wiped my memory and then played Drukqs and Syro for me just once then I would say that Syro is far better. But Drukqs takes time to get into. At the moment I prefer Syro, but it might get boring after a while.
  22. I didn't pay much attention to Aisatsana on the first listen, but now... I like it just as much as Nanou 2. My favourite Aphex Twin album is RDJ and this Syro doesn't change that. But it's very good. It's very very good.
  23. My predictions for release day: At 00:01 GMT all pre ordered copies magically appear in people's houses. However, when played these copies do nothing but play an infinite loop of Lornaderek. People start complaining on the internet. bleep.com disappears The Aphex Twin and Warp facebook pages redirect to warp.net which is now just a picture of Richard's big toe. WATMM goes mental Hours go by Nothing happens At 14:04 all the cool idm people hear a voice in their head 'Come to scotland, find me.' Mass transit of people to scotland Drawn to a voice coming from a large house in a small, sweet village An enormous crowd gathers round the house Most people arrive confused and talking, but as time goes by everyone becomes silent When the last hints of sound have gone, the front door opens Richard steps out He's not wearing anything except sandals, his now-enormous beard covers his whole body Everyone looks on in awe Richard stares ahead, to the south, with a small smile on his face He starts to walk As he moves the crowd parts to make room and then begins to follow him The group walks the entire length of england and makes it to the southern coast A boat is waiting Tom Jenkinson and Skrillex are aboard Tears appear in their eyes when they spot RDJ Richard momentarily leaves the ground and floats up to the boat He lands on the deck and turns around to address the crowd 'We are heading for the bermuda triangle. Be patient.' The crowd is confused and starting to murmur, but Richard just turns around and the boat sets sail with Tom at the wheel As it shrinks into the horizon people start to head home Little do they know what is to come After a few hours the boat anchors down in the center of the triangle Skrillex stops feeding grapes to Richard and dress him in scuba gear Richard silently salutes the two, before diving backwards off the boat Tom and Skrillex do a collab Richard slowly falls to the seabed Once there he searches for the mythical door built by the people of Atlantis He finds it an opens it Inside is the most complex sound system in the world Richard knows what to do He rummages around in his beard, searching for the Syro master He finds it He heads towards a simple record player in the middle of the room He puts the record down The needle falls It begins to play There is only silence as the music starts to make it's way to the Earth's core Once there it collects in a joyful pool of bliss Richard heads towards a large unmarked button His face slowly changes to a Windowlicker-style grin He rests his finger on the button And presses it This sends a signal to the core, causing the music to spread outwards in every direction It races up to the surface, and suddenly, simultaneously, all over the world, Syro begins to play from the ground People rejoice The recession ends All food now tastes delicious Disabled people stand up and dance The rain ends, permanently, but crops spring up out of nowhere all over the planet There is no more crime There is no more pain Just Syro, and happiness Inside the vault, the soundwaves cause Richard's body to disintegrate His work is already done though A new era has arrived for the human races People stop complaining on the internet
