Best Track On SYRO?

[Guest isaki]

I voted for 4 bit but I may have to change it for syro, track 9... ask me again in a month

[gunnar]

way too early for this poll. gotta let it digest for a few weeks atleast :)

[skotosa]

Produk is growing on me. So dark and ominous I love it. Such a groovy tune makes me want to get up and dance. Finding myself clapping to it and shaking my ass.

[lumpenprol]

4 bit 9d api+e+6 is the one for me. Lovely track.

[Guest 123]

3.43 into S950tx16wasr10 (Earth Portal Mix) sends a shiver down my spine.

[Salem1976]

4 Bit is really awesome. That Larry Heard bass is so round and sinuous. I love the way is just plays with the kick drum.

[kaini]

CIRCLONT14 is best CIRCLONT.

[vertsk8er419]

it's definitely the darker one. let's settle at both equally good but better in different moods/siuations...

[calx]

Listening for the first time in a few minutes. I cherish these little moments of anticipation in my life.

Nicely put, I'm cherishing it some more until it's in my hands probably Tuesday... Watmm makes good reading til then.

CIRCLON6 sounds like a chiptune boss battle with 303s. not that this is a bad thing.

[Guest White Calx]

I couldn't pick an ultimate favorite right now, but I think 4 bit deserves some more love.

[rstark]

there's a sample he uses in 4 bit that is my least favorite sound in the album. Its the drum sound he uses towards the end of the song that sounds like the track Hun by Mr Oizo. Like a little cough or something. Its cool he just over uses it.

[schlucharski]

i wonder where brian tregaskin is

 

anyway this album made me sit down on a sofa and listen to it from a - z several times, for hours, I haven't done that since... 2001

[Guest SKAR]

Extremely hard to choose a favorite, for me its produk currently, just love all the little things on this track.

totally agree. I dont understand why he overuse it like that.

 

Am I the only one that find that percussion wise, this is not the best aphex and they lack a certain magic sometimes during the album.

[rstark]

I think he was going for like a pop satire feel, so the drums are meant to be like basic pop beats imho. something everyone can comprehend to get the message across

[manmower]

Yeah MARCHROMT30A edit 2b 96 is also a good one, especially the bit where it starts over and gets all clangy and resonant from about 4 to 5 minutes in may be one of my favorite moments on the whole album.

[J3FF3R00]

I voted "PAPAT4 (Pineal Mix)" but really think it's "180db_".

:)

[awesomeperson]

The bonus track by far is the only interesting track.

[stripeyhat]

Only done two listens so far and both times it's been 180db as my absolute favourite, but there are other close contenders...

 

Already noticed differences on my second listen, I think the first time I was just like, oh yeah this is good, but I didn't take it all in. Second time I listened a bit more maybe.

 

But anyway yeah, 180db and Xmas have been the two I've played again after the second play through.

[Guest colonelchibbers]

The lack of love for aisatsana on this thread is a head-scratcher, as that seems to be one of the favorites elsewhere. Also it's safe to say that 180db is a pretty divisive track. I found it interesting but a definite low point.

[Guest Corvus]

CIRCLO..... PAP...... XMA.....S95.....

 

Fuck this thread !

[Aphex_Squarepusher_Twin]

i can't choose it's really early to choose one immediatly... i prefer to listen each track slowly with pleasure as drinking a good cold beer... it's so soon to choose... i'am not someone who will respond immediately what title i prefer, but that just says if the album or ep i like or not...

 

and yeah i love Syro, it's a pleasure to listen this even if neither is innovative...

 

[Guest trananhhung]

I think the best one is syro. It's quite singular in the album and develops wonderfully until the end. I like everything about it. And the Japan only track will be my number 2. Why it's not on the proper release is a mystery to me.

 

Anastasia is too vague and formulaic. He's been that road a few times and this particular track does nothing for me. I always skip it. But I imagine that listening to it live at the Barbican must've been quite something. I think all that silence is there for the swinging ropes.
