    This is going on repeat until not a single beat or pulse is unrecognised. However long that takes. Enjoying it so far.

    Got this last night and listened to it 4 times in a row. It's great, I think it's his best release since Windowlicker.

    So what's the verdict? I'd say a 3/5 album. No more.

    I love it. Works well alongside the Cheetah EP too, trying to create my own playlist between the two of them. I really wanted a proper copy of 'MT1', I love that track, the choppy Chicago footwork influence of the likes of artists such as 'RP Boo' is very heavily prevalent in it and it is great for mixing with those style tracks on the turntables. 'Abundance' is also a brilliant track, reminds me of the style and vibe of the work done on ICBYD, so cool. 'Phtex' is another highlight. All the tracks are absolutely fantastic to listen to with the volume turned way way up. I much prefer this sort of work to the majority of the 'Syro' LP. Hopefully more of this great work will be available soon

    Someone in WATMM pointed out that Richard had actually premiered the last track on the EP, Pthex at last years Forbidden Fruit.

    This post from the Aphex forum on WATMM made me lol hard
    You haven't lived until you've gotten half cut on sherry, smoking a cheap cigar... jump up on the couch of whomever you're visiting... drop your corduroy pants down to your ankles and curl some thick cable all over whilst shouting APHEX TOWEL APHEX TOWEL APHEX TOWEL as everyone in the room looks on in horror.

    I would like one them towels too

    This has got to be Aphex Twin's cat, if he hadn't put his face in the Richard D. James album cover I'd say he would have put the moggie in there instead. :)

    He’s been somewhat amusingly nominated for a Brit award in best British solo artist category.

    I'm hearing rumours that Aphex Twin is playing Rock En Seine Festival in France in late August, there is hope that he might play Electric Picnic too as Rock En Seine and EP have shared headliners in the past. Bring it on. :)
