This guy is actually great. Subbed.

A cliche at this point to say that AFX music grows on you.. but now that I have the flacs... I've been unable to stop listening to all 4 tracks over and over and keep changing what my "favorite" is. I was in the "quite good" camp after first hearing it (on a crap rip,*cough*). but shit, I love it actually. My analysis that no one is asking for is..'In a Room' is the clear single and gets better and better on repeat listens. Shit loads of detail and awesome/unexpected melodic passages and effects throughout, and the rest have what I would say a SAW era meditative quality/atmosphere but don't overstay their welcome (wish they were longer actually). Its 4 tracks I could loop for a veeery long time.

4 solid tracks. Nothing more, nothing less (to my ears). Didn't hear a single middle finger in this, which I appreciate as it's so damn short. There also seems to be a theme throughout.. sort of like Cheetah. I have a feeling the voice elements are very weirdly or difficultly produced and he is showing that off.

By far my most anticipated. Cannot wait. In the meantime I've been playing a ton of Street Fighter 6.

A pretty hilarious fake is floating around the seeking of souls. "track 2" made me lol quite a bit. It's "Richard" of Effects Twin introducing the next 2 tracks and even giving instructions in how to listen to them and thanking you for the support. Rich even has a very thick american accent. It's good stuff.

Was at a local record store and tried playing dumb (not hard to do. dudunch) and asked if they had it. The dude said "yep!" and before I could say anything else "but I can't sell it yet".. then said "it's good dude" and just grinned. Wanted to jump behind the counter lol. I've been sort of staunchly not wanting to buy this one due to how expensive 4 tracks are.. but who am I kidding, if I see this in the wild I'll feverishly throw money at it.

I might play the B side first. That's right.. I said it.. and I hope Ooze is right. More aphex is always good and appreciated.. but it's just feeling likely. These shows are bonkers and new tracks are cropping up like crazy. More is likely on the way.. and not in 7 years.

Just heard the brief sample from Das Gespenst here:

Track 3 is sounding interesting... very keen to hear where that track goes.

Can't believe that track was sitting there for 3 years and I didn't know haha. Thanks.

Holy shit. That first track I remember from a live gig and loving it. Where did this high quality version come from? Not remembering it from the SC Dump even..Also, anyone know general time period it was made? That is Aphex at his best IMO. Haunting and endlessly listenable that one.

Hrrm? Is this a sample from one of the tracks?

Oh?... Sorry if I'm misunderstanding but where is this third rip located?

Wow! Much better tracks that I thought they would be. Is the first from .. Field Day? I know I've heard it. Melodic acid gem right there. For the love of all that is holy, please release the digitals at some point.

What a welcome surprise. They hit me hard.. so hard I was almost afraid to click the new single until I was ready. But Neil is calling this album "breezy and positive" it seems. Sounds perfect right now. Can't wait.
