Aphex Twin - Collapse EP

[Adamovich]

antony fantano looks at music like a dry sponge reviewer

 

I always question the existence of music reviewers. They should review the music for deaf people using sign language if they want to be useful...

The death grips comparison is one that I kind of felt earlier as well. Esp. on 1st 44.

 

 

One thing I've never understood about videos like this is the need to introduce a cut every 3-4 seconds. Like, does this add something aesthetically pleasing to the presentation? Or is it, like, people can't go more than 3 seconds without losing their train of thought/saying "um"/having to snort another line just to get through it all? Makes me fear we're slowly being habituated to be incapable of  thinking/speaking in complete sentences *puts on tin foil hat*

 

On a more positive note, reminded me of this:

No; just poor editing on the creator's part.

Sick. My cassette bought on the bleep store came addressed directly from mr. Aphex Twin who (after a little expert sleuthing on my part) apparently lives in a nondescript office building in the middle of an industry park in North Carolina.

Shhh! they'll all know then!

 

Oh, North Carolina - I wonder if the flooding there caused any distribution/fulfillment issues with this release...

Got home from Chicago to the limited vinyl on my door! Yeah it was just in a cardboard mailer but the sleeve's in basically perfect shape and I can't hear any surface noise on the vinyl - it sounds completely lush.

The fact that people listen to that Fantano dude astounds me. Music reviewers generally are knobs, but that guy is the knob on the castle's 10meter tall door. Gigantic. Biblical in scale. 

 

Album is the tits tho. I thought I had some hiss on my vinyl during the last few minutes of T69Collapse but upon further listening, there's just some noise that gets gated out with almost a LPF roll-off automation quality. Noticed it on XMASEVET too, all those pieces of gear have to be noisy as hell and the rolling noise gates sound amazing and let the mix flow well without being too clinical.

I like fontano a lot, he's grown on me a lot. You have to accept his track to track opinion sometimes, it's just that, an opinion, he listens to new music every day, that's got to be tough on the palate to switch between like all those genres. That being said he's generally pretty spot on and provides some good insights. I like randomly watching his reviews and learning about new music in genres I don't usually listen to, hiphop esp.

[Guest]

[olo]

Probably a listening experience...

or Aphex twins is releasing the other half of collapse to form an LP.

 

final edit: maybe weirdcore videos for the EP played on local architecture and such.

I hope this has something to do with the riddle.

Anyone familiar with these locations. Do they have large video displays? Maybe a new video? But if so, why would they be staggered out? Maybe... 4 new videos? It can't be an impromptu live set because the times are too close together.

[hello spiral]

I'll be heading to one shortly :^)

What?! Whats this?????!!! Should i get on a plane right now?!

Yes. Absolutely. Get on a plane right now. You totally will not be disappointed.

[Guest]

4 vids! Thats a good option.....

Came to tell ya about the London thing, I see it's already out on the loose. I'm guessing some sort of art/light/video show based on the EP, but I'll deffo be F5'ing this page to find out later.

Yeah, this would be my guess (first thought was blimp, but then was thinking about the weirdcore comments about new versions of the T69 collapse, etc). . . it'll be cool if it's, like, actually pieces of local architecture looking like it's "collapsing" in time w/ the music. . .
