Very much continuing to enjoy all of this. He has basically handed his baseball card in with this thing and faxed one gigantic middle finger to all the haters and lamewads out there.

some favorites:
5 7z - hard, gnarled. barreling down a hairy piste, lot of terrain features. one of the hardest, most chiseling of the whole batch.34 ibiza spliffs - "dreamy," a brain balm, aural salve.cheetah3 teac - sounds later period-ish. dry, funky bass w/minimal percussion. sort of a gussied-up analord vibe. pleasant, understated.pretend analog extmix 2b - also sounds mid-later period. has a relaxed Tuss vibe. proper funk, dreamy, phex-ian, soft washes of color/melody.. pads?24 tsim 2 - repetitious piano riff goin on in the middle section is excellent. overall sorta bangin/bouncing obnoxiousness.5 scorrier - sort of axel foley siegin' for 12 minutes. has like that 'sharpening knives' percussion that kinda gets old.

But then I just found myself listening to it more and more and more - it helped that Nora seemed to respond really well to it - and feeling like it might be my favourite
You won't be so favourably disposed when her first words turn out to be "fucking whore".
― Matt DC, Monday, 27 July 2015 11:19 (nine years ago) link
Some of these are spoof Aphex Twin song titles right?

Nora's first words are likely to be extravagantly disgusting based on how I speak around her.

Super thanks, calstars; I've avoided engaging with all the soundcloud stuff because baby etc, but that playlist is all lush stuff.

Did you give Caustic Window a listen when that appeared?
― Matt DC, Monday, 27 July 2015 14:03 (nine years ago) link
Nah, never got round to it; anything that hasn't had a pretty straightforward release in the last 12 months has pretty much flown straight past me. I assume I should?

ty lowell for your little rundowns, v useful for those of us who haven't been wading through it all
― ogmor, Monday, 27 July 2015 18:55 (nine years ago) link
no sweat, a couple more that i dig on: (mortal 1) is hard hitting and spare, mostly atonal. it reminds me a bit of rsdio (tri rep) by autechre. 4 Acid Organ is pretty great, too. sort of an obvious highlight, like 28 organ, (HAB un23)(unfinished), and 18 Mello Punchy.
T13 Quadraverb was one of the original tracks shared in that two-part interview that was taken down, and it remains a favorite. pleasant, ear-rubbing effect on several elements in the track. pretty low-key, melodically
― braunld (Lowell N. Behold'n), Monday, 27 July 2015 22:33 (nine years ago) link
What's the EP like that was released towards the end of last year?
― Hey Bob (Scik Mouthy), Tuesday, 28 July 2015 07:59 (nine years ago) link
pretty good I thought, and the Electro-Acoustic record was also good although I need to listen to it a bit more. So much RDJ!
― Neil S, Tuesday, 28 July 2015 08:10 (nine years ago) link
wait ... there was an EP released that _wasn't_ Computer Controlled Acoustic Instruments pt 2?

Caustic Window is great yeah, and a more manageable way into the 'lost' material than the huge Soundcloud dump.
― Matt DC, Tuesday, 28 July 2015 08:40 (nine years ago) link
I felt like CCAI2 felt a bit similar to that Squarepusher thing he did with all the robots..?

new ep, AFX • ‘orphaned deejay selek 2006-2008’, is pretty sweet, playable
― braunld (Lowell N. Behold'n), Sunday, 9 August 2015 13:48 (nine years ago) link
playable always good.
where else to hear this than the one spotify track?
― calstars, Sunday, 9 August 2015 16:11 (nine years ago) link
not sure what's featured on Spotify, is it https://soundcloud.com/richarddjames/serge-fenix-rendered-2 ?
there's a link to "simple slamming b 2" (radio broadcast excerpt) if you scroll up a bit..
― braunld (Lowell N. Behold'n), Sunday, 9 August 2015 16:35 (nine years ago) link
That Marchromt track is better than 90% of Syro.

disagree, though it reminds me of autechre a little bit. no love for the earth portal mix?
― braunld (Lowell N. Behold'n), Monday, 10 August 2015 18:05 (nine years ago) link
Wasn't the marchromt track released as part of an EP a few months ago? I swear I've heard it before.
― calstars, Monday, 10 August 2015 20:12 (nine years ago) link
it's the bonus track for the Japanese version of Syro.. it's been up on youtube for a while.
― braunld (Lowell N. Behold'n), Monday, 10 August 2015 22:49 (nine years ago) link
I'm surprised the Caustic Window album got as little attention as it did. It seems pretty superior to Syro

Is there any legal way to obtain CW?
― calstars, Tuesday, 11 August 2015 12:37 (nine years ago) link
that's the point, it got less attention because it wasn't something you could just buy in shops.

I've been thinking since Christmas that SYRO might actually be my favourite album of all time. MARCHROMT is just the icing on the cake: an amazing song, sung by aliens, not on the album.
― Keith, Tuesday, 11 August 2015 22:41 (nine years ago) link
It's the most spectacularly modern sounding thing, almost unbelievable in its intricacy. I don't buy the idea that it didn't move things on for Mr Twin. Drukqs was one of my favourite records of the last decade and the most annoying thing about SYRO is that it makes DRUKQS sound a bit dull - I'm sure I'll get back into it.
― Keith, Tuesday, 11 August 2015 22:42 (nine years ago) link
yeah I am not on board with the Syro complaints, I like it a lot, you can just surface-listen and enjoy it or you can go deep and enjoy it even more
― sleeve, Wednesday, 12 August 2015 00:50 (nine years ago) link
I think what it misses for me is the humor, energetic playfulness and experimentation of RDJ/Come to Daddy/Windowlicker era AFX. It sounds like the editing/timbres are more consistent and the songs especially in the middle of the record bleed together a bit too well. The beginning and end of the album are utterly spectacular, though. Overall it's a fantastic release, but I can empathize with the criticisms.

To me all those things are definitely still present, albeit in a more subtle manner.

I mean yeah there's none of the abrasive, trolling humour he used to specialise in, but there's playfulness in spades.
― the joke should be over once the kid is eaten. (chap), Wednesday, 12 August 2015 16:39 (nine years ago) link
serious RDJ is usually my favorite RDJ
― welltris (crüt), Wednesday, 12 August 2015 16:52 (nine years ago) link
yeah, same. it's a hare-brained theory with minimal supporting evidence and as soon as anyone challenges me i'll distance myself from the assertion and probably just not respond at all, but it seems like serious ages better than playful, across mediums
