This one has clear glossy text on it as well, on the physical. The North American version of LP5 is just white with tracklist though (which btw also added to the perception of the music )

Here you go

If this were true there would be no images at all. Minimalist imagery does not equal no imagery. If they really wanted to abide by this philosophy, all the covers should be blank with just plain text. The TDR artwork absolutely puts images to the sounds, makes no difference if the image is simple or complex. All the artwork has had some influence on the perception of the music, it's kinda impossible not to.

I'm starting to feel a little bad for Ian now lol Sorry Ian but... pls

Good points. The large elseq print is pretty cool to be fair. And yeah re: objects, the PLUS cover looks a bit less garish on the physical copy. Draft was Alexander Rutterford tho

Yeah hack was a bit harsh I guess, it's pretty hit and miss though you gotta admit... the elseq art is an abomination. Quadrange with the squares was a joke. Considering what was used for AE_LIVE this should be a no brainer. I can't remember what was on onesix... faded grey bean shapes? I mean, who cares? Just put out the music already. Maybe he's cracking under the pressure now that Sean leaked this info - we know it's all up to Ian now and he's going mad in his studio trying to decide circle or square, black or grey...

Ian pls This is ridiculous

I knew this version before I ever heard the original. This is quite a bit better, isn't it On that note I think most of the covers I like are ones where I didn't know the original. A good cover of a song I already know and love is pretty hard to achieve.

It's all in good fun Besides I think aphex can afford a little criticism no? It's not like we're picking on some underdog lol Back to original subject: Seriously how ridiculous is it that this release is being held up by some hack's mediocre "artwork" now? Imagine being this Ian guy. Just pick a colour and give it a tri rep treatment and get on with it lol

I wanted to do it like research I guess, since yes indeed it really is baffling that they are still going. It actually seems like it's entirely an act of defiance at this point. It's just garbage television, only using beloved characters from long ago... major cognitive dissonance watching this shit. Also by s29 or so Julie Kavner's voice has aged noticeably so Marge sounds different and it's just weird. Don't these people have enough money yet?

A lot of the time with Ae it's because there is an underlying pattern or structure that's buried under a bunch of other stuff that obscures it at first. Sometimes the most prominent element of the track is all over the place, and the structural component only becomes more obvious with familiarity with the chaotic/confusing part. I'm thinking of osla for n, for example. Growing familiarity with the confusing elements leads to recognition of underlying structure. The hi hats are swingin in 4/4 the whole time. Also sometimes it's just a rhythmic thing. It can be hard to find "1" in some really syncopated beats especially if 1 is never explicitly given in the first place (some Barker tracks drove me nuts for this reason), and then it "clicks" when you finally establish where 1 is (or realize 1 is actually somewhere different than you've been counting it ) Or when you learn to count something in a strange meter (see jazz). What are some songs/tracks that clicked for you, to be more specific? Interesting topic

Halfway through Season 30 and I am throwing in the towel. Can't do any more. I really wanted to be able to see it through til the end but yeah, that's just how bad it is. [Simpsons]

Man if they don't release something soon I'm gonna have to switch to team aphex

Iphone speaker (one side busted) with quick skipthrough

This is really cool, I wish there was a better recording of it tho (without all the camera noises and talking)

This is the problem, imo

Nothing about this guy is "fresh" imo, he just makes the same track over and over. I knew it would have that snare sound before even clicking, lol. He is by far and wide the most ludicrously overhyped artist in the genre. Rips off and insults his fans. And it's somehow special when he actually plays his own material live? Wow! And now all this hype for this little precum drip of tracks... Plus loads and loads of useless, wasteful brand-name merch. It's gross, flagrant capitalist narcissism. His heyday was over 20 years ago lol, it only gets more ridiculous with time. And the soundcloud dump? Dump indeed. Just a pile of garbage archive tracks. We all have hundreds of those lol, but most have the good taste to never put them out. Ok thanks for tuning in, I'll go back to never posting in this forum now.

Any diehards memorize the AMA and know where he said it? I seem to recall him mentioning that too, but I thought there was more to work with. My vague lasting impression has been that he indicated the 2010 could be worked on and released at some point, maybe one or two sets. Then the golden "ok" to your post seals the deal. Sean thx in advance

@Draft78 I remember Sean sort of confirming your question that the 2010 sets might be released someday. I had to go and look for it (in "twitch ama" thread) : Vague as usual, we don't know what this "ok" means, but I think the fact he made the effort to come back and reply to you at all could mean something.

It got bad, then sorta good again, then really bad, and now it's still bad and I think I still have like 4 more seasons to go? I grew up with the Simpsons and now I'm almost the same age as Homer.
