If you go here: https://aphextwin.warp.net/release/109100-aphex-twin-collapse-ep

U see prototypes or something of the ltd sleeve

 

In addition to recent aphex site shenanigans, I know the ship on the audio player was known about...

 

 

But did we know about this lot...

 

 

And was this birthday dino up on Ricardo's birthday and not spotted?

 

 

 

It's the Google Chrome "no internet" dinosaur and the birthday version for Chrome turning 10. Or am I missing something..

OK, so lets do the entire thing over! ;)

 

Seriously though, I'm not sure I like the contrast of the militaristic 'footwork' highhat rhythms with the more typical Aphex stuff that's happening in a couple of these tracks. There are a couple of parts where this interesting stuff happening in a track, melody-wise and rhythmically, but then these militaristic highhats kinda ruin it for me. I don't think the footwork crossover stuff is a very fruitful one, tbh. imo....

 

Production is top notch though. This is quality work. Musically, I'm not convinced though. It has it's moments. But again, these footwork crossover things kinda ruin it for me. Not my tea.

 

So yeah, discuss! ;)

 

No problems with the smearing reverbs though. hehe

[dr lopez 164]

MT1 has whiffs of colundi imo. esp the second half

Shame on you Richard for copying Rashad...

Seriously though that durichroma mix is the business now in fairness to itself though isn't it.

Still digesting and processing it. All I can say is so far, after two full listens, I'm not hating the crossover. Maybe not flawless musically, but i actually like the mix of classic Aphex elements with the footwork rhythms. For the hats specifically, I'll have to take a closer look.
