This album is so fucking good it sounds like my blood is digital like I’m swimming in a dream.

Aphex Twin & the other 2 big IDM acts might be the only meme artists shilled on this board that are actually good. Really good album pick OP. This is his shrooms album - and the piano composition at the end is gorgeous. Have you heard the bonus track for this record? It's worth a listen:

>>127281176
Not mid. Actually really good. Soz

>>127280905 (OP)
i think it's alright but it's too clean and pop. EDM for me

>>127281128
>This is his shrooms album
Are his other albums associated with specific drugs too? If so, I’d love to know what correlates with drukqs. That album is schizo lol

>>127281399
His selected ambient works albums are LSD & drukqs is his alcohol album

>>127281413
>drukqs is his alcohol album

>>127281442
Okay then what is it???

>>127281463
you have to be at least 11 to post here

>>127281609
Yeah and so do you. Now tell me what drukqs would be

>>127280905 (OP)
I think it's really funny that for all of Aphex Twin's output, literally none of it even touches Boards of Canada's absolute worst material. Lmao

>>127282140
i had geogaddi cd and sold it, it was like ??? unremarkable really. i dont even listen to aphex twin, .

>>127282140
You trying to tell me that Tomorrow's Harvest is better than Syro?

>>127282216
Fascinating. You felt absolutely nothing listening to Geodaddi?

>>127282305
Unironically yes. Even the ARG was better than Syro's.

>>127282322
>You felt absolutely nothing
yeah. i mean "feeling" was absolutely out of the conversation, thats for masterpieces, but i expected to be at least interested from a sound design perspective but nope.

>"OP: Man I love this artist/album"
>Someone literally every time: "It's shit and you should listen to MY goat instead"
This board fucking sucks. What if I fucking like both Aphex and BoC at the same time? Can you even comprehend liking multiple similar artists at the same time? I also love Squarepusher and Plaid. That's four legendary idm acts I enjoy at the same time. If I listened to U-ziq they'd probably also be up there. And if not, I doubt I'd spend my opinion cultivating a pretentious opinions I can post whenever I see someone talking about them online just to bring others who like nearly the same music I do down.

No, it is not a good album. It’s leftovers, from old equipment mixed well, why can’t he do anything non retro, it’s like he was born and lived backwards

>>127282369
>This board fucking sucks
no kidding. what was your first clue

>>127282407
???????

>>127282407
syro includes new music too. older material was stuff he played live that fans asked for an official release

>>127280905 (OP)
Fantastic record. Final track is amazing, I love his few piano tunes so much. They're beautiful. Also, the ending 45-1 minute of the title track is one of my favorite moments in his discog. The ambient synth layer that pops up feels like surfing through clouds. There's a lot of incredible moments on this record. Severely underrated in the grand scheme of his work, although he did win a grammy for this.

>This fucking sucks actually.jpg

>>127282445
Forgot to mention, APHEX TWIN just flew over my house.

>>127282438
He said ages ago that he has a ton of unreleased stuff from way back, that’s what Spyro and analord sounded like to me. don’t you think it’s weird that he never uses people or musicians playing except him on piano or keys even in sample form? There’s walls around his world containing the coldness

>>127282407
>This nigga just described CIRCLONT6A as leftovers.

>>127282369
Nice blog. Unfortunately, Aphex Twin sucks and Boards of Canada clears. Sorry :/

>>127282478
he also said syro includes a handful of tracks as recent as 6 months prior to release. the ones he never played live, which is half the album. analord was all new material for its time, he said so in interviews. fans discovered his ebay used to buy a ton of analogue gear before it. you’re weird if you think music made with a computer is weird in 2025. you’re a retard on many levels

>>127282495
You are the reason this board sucks

>>127282582
4chan was never good.

>>127282582
Have you tried fucking off back to r/indieheads?

>>127280905 (OP)
Way underrated, massively overhated. Easily one of my favorites of his

>>127282536
I’m not weird about computer music, you are in fact weird. Computer music is generally worse compared with music performed by musicians. Analord especially sounds like it’s done using old sounds, even if he had made it recently it’s irrelevant.

The contrast of computer and real music elucidates more about humanity and the underlying fabric of the universe actually.

For example, in Aphex Twin’s fast beat music, he’ll often stick strictly to a consistent BPM, it’s too hard to mimic the ebb and flow of a live drummer, takes too much CPU /memory. That’s one of the many factors that gives it that fake / cold /artificial / inhuman feeling. in nature there are few straight lines but there are many in his music.

Only people on drugs really like computer music, but they’ll like anything you put in front of them.

my man you are retarded and pulling things out of your retard butt

>>127283081
>>127283102
I often get responses like this, meaningless green texters who can’t think of any rebuttal. Too scared to actually say anything.

>>127283061
I typed up a whole thing calling you retarded before realizing you actually don't know anything about music or music theory in the first place as evident by your own words. You're either baiting really well or actually crazy and ignorant.

Either way, please just don't open threads about music you don't like.

>>127283793
You didn’t say anything again, amazing

This was my first Aphex Twin album back when it came out in 2014 and it hooked me. And while it’s not my absolute favourite of his albums anymore, I still enjoy it a lot. It’s like others have already said: This is his most “pop” album. And that’s cool. It’s catchy and groovy, but still unmistakably Aphex Twin.

Zoomers would have been too scared to listen to Aphex Twin in 2001. Aphex Twin was anti-rizz.

richard is a good boy, he loves making machine music. next step is to get into john cage, steve reich.

>>127284060
windowlicker was made from sounds that were made while he was banging his french gf anon.

>>127284073
Windowlicker was the strangest song played on mtv and normalfags like you wrote it off as a one-hit wonder.

>>127284121
there are tunes that charted higher retard.

>>127284133
Source? Don’t post a euro chart, that wasn’t relevant back then.

sorry I was wrong, I thought girl boy song charted higher. anyway electronic music was more relevant in uk and europe so lick my balls.
