azatoth Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 I gave Syro good listens and it's a good album, but hardly mindblowing. There are many other artists that have produced really good electronic music albums where I would place Syro with. Perhaps I don't get the fanboyism with Aphex since he wasn't the first artist that got me into teh IDMz. Him being a pioneer shouldn't be a carte blanche to proclaim everything he releases as a gift from god or something. I guess RDJ's stuff never connected with me for some reason. Most of his stuff is alright to excellent but there's stuff that I just can't see what's so great about it. To each their own. Maybe I will get it after I heard it properly, like I did with Syro, but RDJ is by no means an automatic buy for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
realthanks Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 I don't get what's so awesome about this (from the amazon samples)? It's nice electronic music, but hardly anything mindblowingly excellent. Had the same feelings about Syro. agree sadly, the first few tracks especially seem underwhelming and a bit bare-bones.. obviously the 30sec samples might not make much sense outside of the entire tracks tho digging cirklon 1 however and revamped cheetah3 is fuckingFUCK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What else isn't mindblowing that we shouldn't automatically buy? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azatoth Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 (edited) You are welcome to buy whatever you want and let anything you like to blow your mind. Just giving my 2 eurocents. edit: actually I am jealous of you that can get so excited about new music from an artist that you clearly idolize and enjoy. I miss that.

fenton Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 it's like people are expecting new albums from people to fix their depression or get their ex back or make money pour from the sky just so you know that you are an idiot for expecting anything other than lush tunes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pirtek Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 For the next couple days all other music is gonna sound like total shit.

Had the same feelings about Syro. I think the issue with Syro as an album is that it doesn't feel that cohesive to me, but the tracks by themselves are very good. I don't really think it's a question of quality, more so, the way it was assembled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wumbo Man Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 In other news: has anyone checked if there's a Japan bonus track already? Well, the 7th track is already exclusive to cassette, CD and digital so I doubt there'll be an extra bonus track. But we can hope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Friendly Stranger Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Cool! Cheetah should be an awesome release. I'm still hoping he does another ambient ep or lp at some point. This record would include ibiza spliff and certainly 19 Ssnb, amongst others. it would also be personalized to me with my initials engraved in gold, would also receive a personal phone call from RDJ to give me a heads up on the release and run through the details of how he made the album. Not askin' for alot, here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
