  1. Didn't realize he had a new album until this track came up on my spotify (pleasant surprise)

    Led me to the Curtain Twitcher EP, and then to this.

    Some really tasty moments among a sprawling expanse. I feel like I "get" tracks 1-14 pretty well so far and come back to a lot of them. 

    Really liking the update to his jungle styles with acid/idm influences, with nods to early AE ("Tiresias" especially) and AFX.

    But 14 (Light In the Darkest Hour) feels like the proper end of the album, after which it kinda just lingers, not sure I'll ever get that last third of it.

  2. This is so strange,

    It's like a graphic/web design student (a pretty good one, but not familiar with the scene), a domain squatter who noticed hits for a defunct "rephlex.com" could be worth something, and a non-english student writing a book report on 90's electronic music were forced to do a group project

  3.  

    does aphex twin have that many younger fans? I only ask cos most of the kids in the elctronic music class I took didn't even know who he was. they were all freshmen and around the age of 18-20ish. I'm always very surprised at how few younger people I meet know him. I mean sure the group of guys I became friends with in that clas all knew him but they were also into more abstract stuff. At the same time I feel like there's gotta be younger fans of him out there, and it's just where I live. i was probably like 13, 14 when I discovered him, and no one else I knew listened to him or knew who he was where I went to school. i remember showing my friends and we felt like we had discovered this cool secret cos it was different from all the music we had been listneing to up until that point.

     

    if you grew up after window licker and come to daddy its pretty unlikely to know him if you are not very deep into electronic music 

     

    A friend from DeviantArt (lol) showed me the CTD video in 2003 when I was 14, shit changed my life. By the time the Analords were rolling out I felt as excited as any other knowledgeable  fan.

  4. Yeah I thought the "emotinium" vocal sounded like ceephax's voice pitched down, but now after listening to the rest of the album I'm fairly certain it's not him, and I'm just ignorant of the subtleties of British voices.

  5. Definitely. I make my stuff to please myself, sometimes I imagine an audience.

    While making it I love it, by the end it's 50/50 whether I still love it or I'm just done with it.

     

    I always come back to it at some point and am generally happy with it, impressed with some parts and cringing at others. Every song has at least 2 parts I'm proud of, the rest seems amateur depending on my mood. I like my own stuff more when I'm drunk, for sure.

     

    In short doses people say it's good, and I've worked a few tracks into mixes I've made for parties with success.

    That's about all I want from the act of doing it.
