APHEX TWIN - SYRO

[machinemask]

Beautiful album, start to finish.

[YEK]

i just listened to this on headphones on my bed. really good stuff here. the sound design is just as amazing as the melodies and beats,.. lots of crazy stereo effects. at some points i thought it was almost ambient, not ambient slow but because there are a lot of layers going on in each track it's easy to get lost in.

i'm glad i didn't wait a week!

[Brisbot]

This is the best album I've ever heard now. Wtf.
First listen -pretty damn good!
Second- Holy shit!
Third - WHAT THE FUCK IT WASNT THIS GOOD LAST TIME O.o

[MassfreeKid]

Every track is bliss.

 

Hawaiian dog is happy. :)

[Bubba69]

there is some really amazing stuff going on, I can already tell it's going to take me a long time to get tired of it.

 

I really really like it so far. It... fills a void.

 

So much fucking texture, like tuss-style, but better.

[YEK]

gotta love those Indian drums on track 2 :)

[petina]

the bass on produk 29 is so heavy i can hear/feel something inside my headphones rattling... this worries me

[YEK]

does anyone else think there's some BOC influence? it crossed my mind when listening first time., i dunno

[Parsifal]

sad to see richard still hasn't moved away from post-african repetitions

haha :)

[Jakuar]

I don't think headphones were used a lot when mastering this. Sounds 10 times better on me stereow.

Sounds more like nostalgia for 80s-90s video games than BOC

Lol

 

I'll cross your mind with an axe.

 

 

 

I went to bed downloading some unseeded torrent last night, and I just woke up reading this thread... Sounds like something is in the "mail" today

Haha! That's uh.. well that's funny.

[LimpyLoo]

Good day (night, really) to be alive.

 

 

BTW...

remember when the BoC album came out

and WATMM was flooded with members-with-10-posts

complaining about the album?

 

 

yeah, that was really obnoxious

hope that doesn't happen this time around

[klore]

LISTENING ...

[auxien]

That fucking bass at the end of earth portal mix....like a goddamned comet smashing into the earth.

[Bubba69]

some of it reminds me of venetian snares/last step.

[Guest cult fiction]

Richard's best, most evocative and intricate album. Middle of the album has the best sound design of any album I've ever heard. Love how simple, low, and centered the percussion is on most tracks, really lets the unreal synth work wrap around it.

that's actually the original purpose of a real mastering job, not for being played on headphones

I keep switching stereo to headphones and back again. Love it on both.

I think the birds in Aisatsana are a really clever way to serve the same effect as the creaking from the swinging piano at the Barbican. It seems really deliberate.
