1st 44 is an instant classic. love the footwork style
Lots of JLin in there - think heās been playing some of her tracks in sets? Itās great
Oh, snapā¦
Bit irked that the first edition is literally 50% more expensive than the regular version, but it is pretty plus is actually a present for the thinly veiled
Long time forum lurker here
Just hopped in to say that I love Aphex Twin and this EP is absolute magic!!
This might be my first and last ever post (I spend time on watmm, but I also like a lot of indie music thatās why I lurk here, but one forum is enough for my lifetime)
Hoof It!!
Still annoyed I didnāt get the Syro special edition (although it was done by lottery). Thatās going for Ā£400 these.
This new ep is really good. I liked syro, wasnāt sure about cheetah, still working through the mega dump, but fuck I like this ep.
i dunnoā¦for me, his glitchy fidgety stuff gets a bit samey after a while? like i listened through and a lot of it seems interchangeable with the soundcloud dump and much of syro. i love his more emotional work like, lush slow blips and that kind of thing. and of course SAW 1 is never far from my turntable.
maybe collapse is a grower.
SAW1 is always a game changer. I wasnāt super young when I first heard it but when I did it instantly buried itself in my brain and has never left.
Where does something like Richard D James album fall on that spectrum for you? Always been the album of his that does the most for me and balances his two sides most evenly.
I know youāre not asking me but I feel a that album is a good middle ground, best of both. I do like the more hardcore glitch stuff but it struggles to keep my attention over a whole record.
ya, this pretty much. iām not averse to the beats themselves, but i feel like iāve he can lean on particular synths and melodies a little too much in his later work. RDJ has that ideal blend of forward looking rhythms with brilliant musicality, grand.
I wouldnāt say Iām a huge fan because I can take or leave a fair whack of his stuff, but when he hits the spot (for me Vordhosbn, Mt Saint Michel + St Michaelās Mount, Windowlicker), thereās nothing better.
Weird.
I quite like the new EP.
So so so bad
Aphex Twin 2019
Looks like heās playing Coachella, surprisingly. Poster spotted in Silver Lake, California. Hopefully there will be some UK dates.
only just saw this in the thread
the National Film Board of Canada card felt appropriate, too
Put that SoundCloud dump on my phone last week. Itās really something innit? Just an incredibly overwhelming amount of stuff.
Basically, anyone got a playlist of it I can have???
Thereās sooo muchā¦ I just stick it on random tbh
