Aphex Twin streams new song

2014-09-04 by jefflebowski | 76 Comments
Ahead of his highly-anticipated new album Syro, Richard D James (AKA Aphex Twin)
has released a stream of the opening track. Snappily named 'minipops 67 (source field
mix)', the track is less abrasive and more melodic than some may have expected and
features prominent use of a vocoder.

Syro will be released 21st September in the UK and 22nd September in the US.

yeah it sounds nothing like BoC

go listen to RDJ's analord series and you'll see where this is coming from

like this track: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=crcqADcAusg

im honestly stoked, i hope the whole album is as laid back as this, richard is always better when hes not making breakbeats (with a few notable exceptions of course)

yeah this is very analord-esque which can only be a good thing

makes sense too seeing as some of these tracks date back a few years

He did say a good chunk of this is composed of really old material

He also said Syro would be the most accessible of all the new material he's gonna start putting out so I'm interested in seeing what directions is he going towards, some type of deep end of his existing sound or something completely different

This is so good. Can't wait for this album to drop now. I'm glad it's very different from the new Caustic Window too. It's impressive how well he's able to separate his style depending on the project.

"I've got a few more things planned – at least a couple more albums, some EPs, things like that. Some more dance-y things I did about 10 years ago. Experimental things, noise things, weird things. "

Sweet, pretty stoked
