APHEX TWIN - SYRO

[MassfreeKid]

I want a black metal album by Aphex just to read the thread it would generate on here.

Big Aphex special in today's Klassekampen. I'll see if I can upload some scans eventually.

 

Also, look at that press image, it's the Black Metal Aphex Twin! Probably especially for the Norwegian press, lol.

 

 

Haha, nah, that was apart of the Syro photoshoot together with those other photos. This one was also in the Oor interview.

However it's funny the Norwegian chose this one as the front cover :)

That is such a great picture. Aphex and Burzum are pretty much my two favourite musicians, it's like they've merged into one.

Ah ah, Come to daddy sounds a bit BM to my ears

[MassfreeKid]

Aphex often said he was into metal, but which metal is that? No one asks him!

Really? I remember him saying the only guitar band he liked was Seefeel. That was about 21 years ago though.

Well he caught me in 1997 and I was a 100% black metaller back then so there must be some truth to that. But it's not a BM song hehe.

I hate to put words in his mouth when I don't have a source. But I'm pretty sure he talked about grindcore at least once. But how could he ever talk about it more thoroughly? Most of the interviewers who have access to Aphex don't know shit about metal.

[YangYing]

Guys.

grindcore?? Pm me rich

[Herr Jan]

Afaik he only talked about metal when he talked about how he made Come To Daddy: as a parody/pisstake of a death metal track. I do remember him saying he doesn't like guitar music that much, but then again, he did use Led Zeppelin drums :) no sources at hand too, so this is purely from memory!

[whylessness]

why are people using the word "subjectivity" then asserting their opinions are facts? lmao

[Guest progben]

Tiring day at work. Many public transport fuck ups. Got home. Misery compounded by the dreaded Royal Mail red 'we missed you today' note in my letterbox.

 

Time to get up at 7am and claim my slice of the Syro pie!

[whylessness]

Sennheiser hd650. Because he is, or was, capable of so much better. This is just so boring to listen to.

i sold my sennheiser hd650s after owning them for less than a month because they were too neutral and boring

Syro is James' statement on Scottish independence. Discuss.

[whylessness]

XXX

i need some brain i think i lost mine

[flim]

So Syro is mentioned in Grazia, a glossy fashion magazine from the UK apparently (tweeted by Mira Calix)

 

I had a Time magazine issue that ran a feature on AFX releasing Come to Daddy. That photo was the one accompanying the article. This was obviously 1997. I wish I still had that mag.

[The Wumbo Man]

Richard be camera shy yo.

 

Probably.

 

I dunno really.

 

In that one with the cleaver he looks like he's about to chuck it at someone.

 

I bet it's Tom Jenkinson.

[Boris de Vries]

Can someone make a 1st person slasher video came of that picture already?

[The Wumbo Man]

Richard did say one time that he wanted to do a video game soundtrack...

Yeah. Just discovered sped up break from "When The Levee Breaks" in "Taking Control" after 4:42 mark.

Loving the kitchen lads on a cig break with their 'couldn't give less of a fuck about an Aphex Twin blimp' stances

 

Hehe that's funny cos I used to work in that store before it was Rise and circa 2006, I remember scribing an aphex logo into the grimmy window looking out on that car park.
