Companion EP would be nice, although I find it strange how Warp seem to have distanced themselves from all this hype. Makes me think it could just be a couple of tracks on the bleepstore and bob's your uncle.

Top choice. Did you check out the rarities 12" that came out a couple weeks ago? Had some cool stuff I've never heard before, inc. a sick alt version of Group Transport Hall.

we've got a bs2 with afx mode and a monologue with afx patches and afx microtonal scales, so yeah I'd be disappointed if this is along the same lines

awww man I love it already

yeah, doesn't look like warp have any involvement with this so i'll be surprised if we get anything more than that

marketing gang whipping out the big guns again https://crackmagazine.net/2020/10/is-aphex-twin-about-to-release-some-hardware/

also that's a horrific patching job re: the times c'mon warp, get me on the design team

yeeee boiiiii

This is gonna be the most divisive record they've put out in yonks. I can feel it in my bones.

that's been there since the store launched

maybe it's new gear AND a new ep made on said gear?

Isn't Rifts simply a compilation of his first few albums? Either way it's very very rad.

Fucking great track Way better than Black Snow imo

Ah I love GoD It definitely doesn't sound like anything else in his discography tho, that's for damn sure

I've enjoyed every album this chap has put out so far. Gimme the magic!

I loved SILY and Wildflower but I dunno if I'm feeling the new stuff. The album art is fucking dope though.

Man I hope the physical sleeve has some neat spot glossing going on

I am sincerely digging the artwork Also very curious as to what a focused 1hr-ish tekker album is gonna sound like in 2020 Colour me hyped

I still love FNM but you're right, they really do sound of their time. Even Sol Invictus sounded dated when it came out. Still a decent record though.

haven't listened to any of the stuff they've put out since the self-titled record (not sure why - is it good/bad?) but I still bump white pony and around the fur every now and again. anyway this new track is pretty decent. guitar tone and riffs seem very CKY-esque, although maybe not quite as intricate. love that boss oc-2/3 sound.

Dick move, but the optimist in me can't help but think the alternative would be worse. Pre-Spotify/early days of streaming, almost every casual listener I know would torrent their music or literally even download YouTube rips, so surely a (very) small income is somewhat better than zero income? But don't get me wrong, it'd be rad to see a bunch of labels hold a mass walkout and pull their shit from these services (except beautiful lil Bandcamp) to negotiate some better terms.

guessing warp won't reveal the winner in fear of mass unsubscriptions. we just have to hope the victor is on here/afx reddit/part of the online community in some capacity and comes forward, or it'll remain a mystery forever.

disagree. it's a valuable item. warp wouldn't just give it away. they're trading it to drive more memberships to the aphex bleepstore, because they know at some point, there will be a very nice return on investment. and that's another thing, they're not even trying to get people on a bleep or warp mailing list. it's specifically the aphex store. makes it seem obvious they're gearing up for something. if this really was simply to commemorate the anniversary of an EP release, why 4 years and not 5? maybe 5 would be too late as they're probably planning to release whatever-it-is later this year? sooo yeah i think there's a very high chance that something is imminent/relatively imminent. could be a new EP/LP, could be a back catalog dump (afx, rephlex, etc), could be a repress (doesn't drukqs turn 20 next year?)... maybe tour dates? i'm sure i read something a while back saying manchester would be his last show for a while, but i listened to an interview with weirdcore a couple months ago and he implied new tour visuals/a new tour concept was being worked on with richard, so i dunno what time-frame we're looking at for gigs.
