Re: [microsound] new aphex twin



there are portions of these albums where it almost makes you wonder if he
just scrapped some tracks together from various parts of his career just to
get out of his contract with warp. there are alot of piano
interludes/compositions that juxtapose the harder tracks. which is not to
say they are bad by any means, quite the opposite...they are gorgeous..very
reminiscent of cage's "in a landscape". anyways, there are some points in
the set where i was thinking "hey this was probabl meant to be on (insert
album here)!". overall, i really dug it...but i'm eager to see what everyone
else's reactions will be.



i have an advance copy as well.. and my first impression that it is bits and pieces..
it tends to go back and forth between dreamy/languid kinda tracks (ie the piano) and then back to crazy 'braindance' fast pace hard beat stuff... i have only listened to it once very quickly....
so my impression may change,,,,


i wonder if a double cd was necessary?
