Nice touch with the whole gearlist listed in the cover, for us gearfreaks |
||||||||

That's interesting. It confirms my hypothesis that Syro is a compilation of fanboys' most wanted tracks. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

Not heard any yet. Shite internet and no postal service where I am, will have to wait a while! It's a bit like Tuss though? |
||||||||
|
|

Not really, it's got a bit of everything APhex. |
||||||||

Very, very good album. I like every track now. It has to be taken as a compilation of unreleleased we should be glad to finally get on CD/LP. Like most of his albums in fact (SAW, ICBYD, Caustic Window Comp). There's no coherence or progression in it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I dig it, sounds a bit slowed down in some parts (gives me that "I wonder if this is supposed to be 45rpm" thought). |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
To me it feels like an album more than a compilation. It's surprisingly consistent and the lack of progression is sort of part of its charm imo....it's like a blimp floating in the aphexsphere... |
||||||||

It's a 9/10 for me - I would have traded that last track for something a bit more like 'Logon Rock Witch', cause 'aisatsana' just gives me that "aw it's already over and now i have to listen to this really slow piano ambiance"-feel. I feel there could have been one or two more tracks to up the overall length of the album, but it does work for me. I guess it's an instant classic - I already find myself recalling different passages and even 180db (which reminds me of weird-sounding tracks from ICBYD, that I don't find that charming) gets me nodding. Am I the only one that finds that drum filter envelope in 4 bit @ 3:02 utterly annoying? |

The last part of s950tx16wasr10 [163.97][earth portal mix] has me crying bloated, middle aged tears. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think "aisatsana [102]" serves as a good palate cleanser so you can go listen to the whole thing again. |

dudes i just spent the weekend in beijing at tiananmen square and on the subway with this syro album on loop for most of the weekend and let me say thank you richard |
||||||||

|||||||||

I just realized that I have a mix from 2006 (from an unnamed source) which is from Richards laptop; The 180db track pops up 7 minutes in the mix. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes, 180db_ is an old tune, which has been played live many times. "4 bit 9D" (=track 4) has also been reported being played at ATP in 2007. That's one of the reasons why I consider this Syro to be more a compilation than an album. Though it could also be an OLD album, composed on 2006. This track is amazing since 2:24 in my opinion. The background synths starting at 3:02 are great. The drum filter is ok for me, though I could have lived without. It sounds like an angry duck complaining. |

The japanese bonus track is good as well: |

This track sounds a lot more like AE than AFX, imo! The hip-hop rhythms, the vocoder, the synth line... are old Autechre stuff. |

Yeah that bonus track does sound a tad AEish. Ta for the link. I think it's a good album, it's great to see everyone commenting (just that actually) on how it reveals itself more with repeated listens. Like on first listen I thought it sounded like a backstep from Drukqs, kind of how I felt about Analord (but then I was that guy who wanted a whole album of Mangle 11's). Now you hear it and it's just a more mature sound all around. To use a horrible analogy, like what QOTSA did with their last album, only not boring as shit. I could've done without Produk and 180db but people seem to like em, fair enough. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It's a worthy follow-up to Drukqs, imo. Not as groundbreaking perhaps. But it still sounds like a progression. As a compilation Syro works better than Drukqs. It builds like a DJ-set and basically has a narrative. Drukqs felt much more like a collection of awesome tracks thrown together. |

Woah, the bonus Japanese track came as a welcome surprise, thanks goDel and Combo. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i agree on that it's nice to see people in here post again the xltronic hills are definitely alive with the sound of syro |
||||||||
|

Produk is one of my favourites i think fuck, the jap Bonus !!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Japanese bonus track is wicked |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|

definitely a great album, but i need more listenings |

180db_ was in my head all the afternoon. Simple but good, catchy tune. It's like an interlude in order to separate the four first tracks from the drum'n'bass ones. It's crazy how everytime I listen to one of those Syro tracks, it seems I never heard "got it" before. So many things in every track (except 180db_ and aisatsana). |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Finally an album we can listen and listen again, focusing on the music, without being bored. That's what IMD is about. |

IDM. (Shit, my fingers probably thought I was typing "IMDB".) |
||||||||

Still not heard it.. can't wait to get home next Thursday but please let it not be a big disappointment...you guys sound way to positive, it can't be that good... |

bit at Syrou473 , 3:33, wobblingdownward, class |

Actually a couple of times this week a different track has popped into my head, out of nowhere; It started after the third listen and was quite an odd experience, it was quite vivid and the melodies are so crafty in their insidiousness that it was like the ginger ninja walked into my kitchen and started humming his own song in my ear. I love sticking it on when I'm stoned and unwrapping new details.. someone needs to make a meme of Jon Stewart in Half Baked. "You ever listened to Syro...on WEED?" Of course I loved Chinese Democracy for about a week. Time will tell. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It happened to me as well, with bits of tracks 1 (Minipops), 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 11 coming to my head and making me think: "now that's a lush part". I suppose it must happen with every album put on repeat though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, nice and also funny part. From 3:47 to 4:54 it's so delicate as well. And what do think of the jazzy descencing scale beginning at 2:12 in CIRCLONT14? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
From 5:40 on the japan bonus, it is insane. Totally AEish. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Cheers! This album is growing on me big time. There is simply no substitute. Haven't had goosebumps listening to a new tune for a while. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'll fire up the pax vape and give that a shot tonight... Ae perlence tracks are fun that way, too (off the quadrange album). |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the way the drums come in at 0:55 in CIRCLONT14 gets me every time |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The lovely "vocals" on this Shrymorning mix stay in the mind. FOR YEARS. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I've listened a couple of times now. It's good, as expected, but I don't get how people are saying it sounds coherent. Definitely sounds like a grab bag of tracks to me. Also if 180dB had appeared in some spam thread on here would anyone have given it a second listen? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Obviously, not. Apart from people searching for DJ tools. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that bit that plays at that particular second of that one track is so kewl |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
my review: not as good as blank banshee |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
There are people on twitter, twittering under the #syro hashtag. This makes me agressive for some reason |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I can understand that. Do you like Syro, btw? #monoid |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ever since I started saying "Syro" in a high camp voice I can't stop doing it. Although I talk in a high camp voice all the time. Obviously. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think so too pepe! can we be best friends now? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I didn't listen to Syro today, but all the tracks play in my head. It's enough for discovering new details. |
||||||||
|
|

What's up with the card you get with the order - it says pick up your album with the receipt - and a slightly different URL with orys on the end - but it looks almost the same |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
maybe pre-release promocards that bleep put in there because they ran out of stickers? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I heard it twice on a long coach ride. : ) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I've got a sticker and a card, maybe it is just a souvenir, from the wording on it it's like you've pre-ordered the album and you take the card to the shop to pick it up. Maybe that's all it is, odd thing thing to include but, hey, it's SYRO. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It's this thing |
