I personally find everything since syro very uninteresting musically, but would probably be interested if rich were to explore with any other sonic palette.. that's just my opinion.

BaggerMcGuirk Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 I really enjoyed that snippet. It does seem like there may be some more ambient works on the way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your initial post comes off like a tossed off dismissal of a decade's worth of work. A) That goes way past Syro, and b) He's explored several difference "sonic palettes" on Syro and since. I stand by my initial statement, that post was fucking stupid. Had you worded it more subjectively or with a bit more detail, my response wouldn't have been warranted. As the way it was phrased as a wholesale objective dismissal...nope ain't goin'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it's because I have had this discussion a couple of times so I just assume that people understand that I mean "uninteresting to me but not objectively bad", I mean interest is subjective per se but I can see how you can read it implied that there is something objectively bad bout the music, I'll edit it to clarify. On the "sonic palettes" thing.. I kinda mean genre I guess, maybe my ears are fucked but everything he's done since and including syro sounds the same to me (except obv ccai and a couple of the field day tracks).. similar bpm, song structure, sound, feel etc. And I just find that particular aphex sound to be very boring. This is all imo ofc, I mean the music is still very well produced, lush, etc just not my cup of tea. edit: Also it's technically five years of work since he didn't release anything new between tuss (2007) and syro (2014)... that was hyperbole on my part.

Fair enough. I always chafe at hyperbolic dismissals like that as they are non-starters that can kill a perfectly good dialogue. Appreciate your clarification.

beerwolf Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 MIXL2 is a good guy. Yep dismissing a decade of Aphex output seems a little silly but who cares? I'm not huge on Aphex official releases either, but seeing him live a few times and the Collapse EP settles any jingle-jangle nerves post Syro.

donquixote Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 I like hockey Smith and get why he's working with her. Be nice to see some remixes or something imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donquixote Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Also.... Thinking about it. Early vocal aphex like xtal and the St Etienne remix I've always loved. Feel hockey Smith has a bit of that vibe about her, plus she's Cornish. It's nice he's putting stuff into the Cornish scene. Bit like a big hairy ginger Mike Banks. Wish we had a Richie P Jams in Wales. Not gonna have the post syro chat. "Arguing on the internet be a bit like ......" zzzzz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donquixote Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 I love the "dare you" track. Actually more excited about a hockeysmith team up than the apparent infamous collab with a penis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IDEM Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Well, according to Discogs, one of two sisters left the band, but there's still a Martin "Penis" Pease involved ... Edit: Lest anyone gets confused: He's not really called "Penis", that was just me silly. Pretty close though, and I'm sure he's got one. I just know it.
