Guest WNS000 Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 (edited) After a couple of listens via various streams - this has to be the most homogeneous record he's ever released? Pretty much the same vibe, tempos, timbres, instrumentation, techniques, etc, on all of it? I agree it is pretty homogenous or maybe thematic is more accurate, odjs is pretty consistent the whole way through, as is ccai2, even Syro come to think of it... maybe its a later development, these kind of thematic releases. I would even say Analord is like a variations on a theme, a lot of explorations within certain parameters. Maybe the collage style album was an earlier approach and with drukqs he probably reached a nexus of being varied and yet somehow overall coherent to reach his new album style. Nothing wrong with it in my opinion. Having listened to this a bunch of times I don't have any analysis or anything, just really enjoying another solid Aphex release! I think Drukqs is an album that one releases after a period of time of being passionately interested in many things/approaches at once. Drukqs is a product of curiosity to me. Whereas Syro (and his other "analog" stuff) is suggesting to me that he has tried what he wanted to try so far and he now comes back comfortable with all the skills to create with a palette that he loves the most of them all as he have no need (at this moment) to explore all the other approaches anymore. I may be wrong of course. It might all be happening for completely different reasons. Edited July 4, 2016 by WNS000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel you. I truly adore his drill stuff but I must say some of his analog efforts are stunning too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bitroast Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 mmm. had a quick listen to the bbc stream and there's def more audible stuff going on in the percussion, sounds very bleepy and resonaty, where as the bleep stream just sounds like blip blip and kind of static. peeps pointing out the bleep stream to be low quality are ... on point ... anyhow, listening to the bleep stream now (i dont want bbc WOOOSH sound effects over the top or " you're listening to, aphex twIn" midway. EP's saaa chill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vaaler9 Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 I'm really enjoying this. Very coherent and vibey. Really really works for me. I personally like that middle ground when he isn't trying to say "LOOK AT THIS!" and the song changes completely every 4 bars, but it's also not a total drone, or only beats. I'm a fan of analord but I also like there aren't acid squelches on top of everything. Good stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeletron Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 What's "@ the Dandelion Spaceship (pre-Syro)"? He named one of his studio setups the Dandelion Spaceship and that's where he composed these tracks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
