    to be honest id love it if he went further, be lush to hear a syro/collapse track as it built up over time, ive read  in some interview some tracks take him months. be great to get glimpses of the process from start to finish. 

     

    edit: i do like the sketches tho. interesting to hear and inspiring as someone who only really finds the time to sketch himself due to job and family. 

    Exactly my thoughts here!

  2. Also I don't understand why those new tracks sometimes get praise like it's the sickest shit he's ever done, they're clearly sketches. I think it's great he's  uploading these and I'm very thankful for it as it gives us a glimpse into his creative process and that tracks do not sound perfect from the start, no matter who makes them. It's really interesting for producers I would say, but compared to real final releases... I mean just take Syro or Collapse as an example :-)..

    F'ing chords is lush. That twatty fake instawank is posting again too.

     

    (Apologies my hangover has left me incapable of dealing with aphex fakery. All is full of hate right now)

    No idea who Permasteeze is, but I bought the EP and "MUFFDIVE95" is on repeat, love that track. Nice Electro vibe. There are definitely elements that pretend to be AFX also in the other tracks, but the whole release sounds too linear and digital to me. Richard's tracks are way more dynamic usually.

  4. currently doing the classic zelda marathon with all the games i played :-D. started with "a link to the past", now finished "link's awakening" and will move on to the "oracle of" series (my favs). "the minish cap" to follow! going to replay a lot more classics with my controller on my way to work, gotta love emulators :-)!

    big game currently is "final fantasy XII - the zodiac age". played the original back then, but never with all the sidequests, now it's time!

  5. It's definitely easy to overstuff tracks when you're sat in front of a DAW with an almost infinite amount of tracks and that usually makes the music+sound lose focus.

     

    Yes I make this mistake all the time, less is really more sometimes. The thing with Aphex is that there's so much going on but it all sounds "necessary", really impressive.

    yup i think the context is the worst, at least the lineup in berlin was really nice and strictly electronic.

     

    I can see plenty of reasons not to like festivals (sound quality, crowd, overpriced food/drinks etc) but tbh I don't see why you'd care about the lineup ? A 1-day ticket for Rock en Seine is cheaper than the tickets for the Berlin show lol.

     

    Anyway, according to their Instagram account they will announce some artists names tomorrow at 6pm (GMT+1)

     

     

    They still sell 1 day tickets for festivals? A lot aren't doing this anymore. My first Aphex gig was 2009 Melt! in Germany, 1 day ticket back then, now they only sell for the whole weekend. I may think about it, but I'm curious if he's playing more Europe shows. If he gets announced eg for Bangface or something like that it would be way more appealing.

    what i like about abundance is that it has kinda trancey feel to it. trance is like ultra cheesy most of the time, but i like some elements of it and that track is like aphex just taking the elements i like and build something more interesting around it :-).

    not to mention the track is made on the subtle details. I feel you pretty much need headphones to 100% appreciate the track

     

     

    yes like all on the ep, really great what he's doing there. it's like a game: "what do i discover next?"

    I love it. So good. Like Drukqs but made with his new setup and workflow.

    I don,t understan why everyone is compairing this to drukqs.... To me it sounds nothing like that

     

     

    With you on this. Just listened to drukqs and not putting 2 & 2 together. Bad ears?

     

     

    in some parts it's like he took the drukqs style and improved it even further, track 3 is such an example!

  10. Gave it a few honest listens but it's easily his worst work in quite a while. Wanky in all the wrong ways. Maybe some of it does well on the big stage.

     

    Don't know, I find it very addictive. It's definitely a bit strange and unexpected at first (like all of his stuff), but for me it really works. and it's a new direction. stuff like cheetah and ccai were more for producers actually interested in HOW he did it and that's quite interesting. but i haven't been listening to them in ages. collapse is serious business again, fully polished tracks and interesting all the way, at least to me.
