Aphex Twin uploads fresh tracks to SoundCloud

Be interesting if tonight follows the same (non)structured formula.

gonna go see him tonight in Bristol. :slight_smile:

Last time I saw him, I think at Field Day in London a good few years back, 2017, I didn’t make it through to the end of the set. It was classic out-weirding everyone. Lots of young crowd wearing AFX shirts, completely shocked he wasn’t doing an ambient Spotify playlist set.
I left 20-30mins before end of his set and because of that luckily dodged a massive terrorist attack near London Bridge Underground that night, so thanks Rich, bless. x

It was fucking brilliant.
Not sure what people expected. A greatest hits set, guest appearances from Mark Ronson and Miley Cyrus and an encore that included a tear jerking acapella rendition of Milk Man?

Appreciate a set like he plays is not to everyone’s taste but the quote ā€œGirls dress like boys and boys dress like girlsā€ tells you everything you need to know about that review.
Well, that and the fact that it is in the same right wing cesspit of a rag that employs Toby Young as a contributing editor

A load of lighters and phone lights swaying slowly in hushed reverence.

Beautiful imagery.

Yeah it was brilliant. I was fairly close and the sound was good. Not club-thumping-sub-base good, but it was clear, loud enough (for me) and combined with the visuals and lights it was a trip.

The kind of show you had to immerse yourself into. If you stood on the side or far back, chatting to your mates, or just came for a bit of a dance it probably didn’t work as well.

Yeah that’s not what I call a review.
ā€œA free 100 lines-and-a-bit trollā€ of journalism.

agreed, it was completely fucking amazing. granted, my partner and i came from the states to see him for the first time, but it was everything we hoped for and then some. think a lot of folks go out of their way to not have a good time

Yeah, it was my first time seeing him live as well, so I was totally up for it.

I was slightly apprehensive that it won’t live up to expectation, but like you put so well: ā€œeverything I hoped for and then someā€.

Dont know if this has been posted here… apparently RDJ on the Matriarch… Awesome tune if you ask me.

Fingers crossed some new shit imminent. More likely just a repress of old stuff, or rephlex digitals (analord please…). 2023 festival release wavs would be nice.
