This album actually won a grammy in 2015. I know grammys don't mean sht but it's kind of cool he won the glorified popularity contest with his comeback album
i still find it so incredible how such a "pop" album like syro is still so weirdly innovative. quoting mic the snare here but aphex twin really didn't need to reinvent the wheel, he just needed to be the wheel for a little bit.. .. ..
Dude, I gotta say, watching you experience all of these Aphex Twin albums has been a blast. One of my favourite artists, and seeing you experience a lot of his songs for the first time is the closest I can come to hearing them for the first time again. I love your honesty. Sometimes your reactions make me laugh out loud cause it’s the same reaction I had when I heard his music. Some of the songs you’ve said you’ll “never listen to again” I guarantee you’ll come across again years later and they’ll kind of do something for you in a weird way lol
as someone who recently got into aphex twin your reaction to aisatsana was exactly the same as mine 😭 "Wait the fucking corecore song?" lmfaooo I had no idea he made that song
damn man, CIRCOLONT6A is my favorite Aphex's song. There are these otherwordly trunks sounds, like someone is draining the air out of organic balloons. It always gives me goosebumps and I feel like my brain is moving when I hear this.
CIRCLONT6A and syro u473t8+e are for sure my favourite tracks on the album. I feel like they need a handful of listens before you can really appreciate them, though.
@@partsmob8663 syro u473t8+e feels like alternative CIRCLONTA, intervals and the structure is generally the same but he transposed it and used differend sounds here and there.
Dude I've been binge watching your stuff, and I just watched you Swans reactions, and I gotta say, you're missing out on The Seer and The Glowing Man SPECIALLY The Glowing Man, hope you get to them soon :)
I've loved your Aphex Twin reviews. They got me into your channel. Also since I've never recommended anything here before, I think you should definitely give Kraftwerk a try. They basically invented synthpop an inspired thousands of electronic artists. I'd suggest starting with The Man Machine but anything from Autobahn to Tour De France Soundtracks is a banger.
Everytime he talks positive about Aphex Twin and you already know the next song is gonna be horrendous for him to hear will always be funny, honestly thats why I think Aphex Twin orders his tracks the way he does.
i was actually not expecting you to react to this album, i love aphex twin i'd also love if you reacted to Census Designated by Jane Remover, it's an amazing album!
Sorry for the 3rd comment, it'd be amazing to see you do a joint video where you listen his 2 most recent EP's Collapse and Blackbox in the same vid Also Syro is a huge grower album, after a while all the melodies worm their way in your head, I think Syro is one of the catchiest and hookiest albums I know
Nice! Man if you like Aphex you need to check out ų-Ziq, they worked together a lot and Richard even did ų-ziq’s album art at least once. He’s got his own vibe. First album you should listen to is probably Lunatic Harness. Of his more recent stuff “Magic Pony Ride” is great.
@@NerdicusGoblinski Well I think it’s actually the wrong symbol but it was the closest approximation I could find on the iPhone. If you use an iPhone just hold down the letter “u” and a bunch of options should pop up.
Eh, The Tuss and Analord is not really for everyone, I'd say let him listen to more of the stuff on his main moniker first before he starts digging into the many aliases and SoundCloud/Syrobonkers/Mt. Fuji works
Nice!! Been looking forward to your thoughts on this album! I can definitely understand your feelings on this one though. I really like the fast paced feeling and a lot of the sounds and ideas he uses on this album. Definitely not his best, but it keeps growing on me more over time. My favorites are tracks 4, 10 and 11 Please listen and react to New Gold Dream by Simple Minds
To answer your questions XMAS_EVET is NOT his longest song ever, that goes to the noise track 36 Shroomdot which is over 20 Minutes long, Side Note There is ONE more album of his, its unreleased but it has been confirmed to be official and its called Melodies From Mars. This album was made a bit before the RDJ Album whenever he switched from using Analogue Technology to Digital. Really recommend doing its own video for it. Also im surprised you recognized Aisatsana as corecore and not the infamous QKThr, Aisatsana is his wifes name backwards which is Anastasia.
I wouldn't ever take Richard's lyrics seriously. They're just sounds like everything else. Fun reaction. I'm digging your channel. Request: Stereolab - Transient Random-Noise Bursts With Announcements
Idk if you will read this, but PLEASE react to "little earthquakes" by tori amos, its kinda similar to 90's fiona apple records and its AWESOME, one of the best debuts ever
aisatsana is his wifes name backwards and I find it to be a bit emotional of a song. one of my favorites when this album came out, still it to this day
"Носочки" means "socks", but diminutive form of the word, like little socks/cute socks. "Ну, скажи" means "pls say it" but I heard it like "броженье" - "fermentation". "Псевдо-растяжение звука во времени" means "pseudotimestretch" or verbatim "pseudostretch of sound in time". "Aisatsana" it's reverse of Anastasia - name of a woman, who sings those lyrics.
Great video bro. If you want some more good electronic music, check out Against All Logic. Its the side project of the artist Nicolas Jaar. Start with the 2012 - 2017 album if you end up doing it.
Honestly If you like the stuff rich does, then you might like some stuff by Venetian snares, perhaps the albums: -Songs About My Cats -The Chocolate Wheelchair Album -Detrimentalist -My So-Called Life -My Love Is a Bulldozer
dude I know you love Talk Talk, you’re going to love Mark Hollis’s self titled, it’s by the lead singer of talk talk, basically another continuation in there discography but for some reason no one ever talks about it. really fucking good tho, highly, highly recommend
the nostalgia this album holds is insane and i still love it even though its not my fave, also amazing vid as always!! i reccomend listening to "Preachers Daughter" by Ethel Cain. one of the most beutiful and painful concept albums i've probably ever heard and it just changed me lmao, i think you would really love it! :)
Hey love you from Italy you should listen listen to: Reading Writing and Arithmetic - The Sundays (they’re so awesome and i think someone already recommended them) Wlfgrl - Machine Girl (Astonishing Breakcore Album, and one of my favorites) World is Yours - MASS OF THE FERMENTING DREGS (even tho it’s an EP its so freaking beautiful and powerful, really some good shoegaze and indie-rock with fantastic production) Station to Station - David Bowie (my favorite Bowie album and a really dark and experimental one) Sports - Modern Baseball (if you liked American Football’s self titled you will love this, it’s emo and it’s really enjoyable) Speaking in Tongues - Talking Heads (an album that will make you dance like no other)
I honestly love you’re reactions You definitely should check Among my swan - mazzy star Four calendar cafe - coctue twins Flying away - smoke city Baduizm - Erykah badu ‼️‼️
anastasia is better live than on the album I think. There's a live version on CZcams where the whole piece is played via a piano swinging from a rope like a pendulum. The acoustics and the change in position of the piano give the piece an amazing feel
still loving the videos my guy a few recommendations: Process - Sampha (experimental r&b, great production) Nurture - Porter Robinson (light summer electric with fun production) Koi No Yokan - Deftones (very heavy, sexier and heavier radiohead imo) Hypochondriac - Brakence (very experimental emo rap, glitch pop) Reading Writing And Arithmetic - The Sundays (the smiths ish, with beautiful female vocals)
Great video
Thanks handsome
Are... you talking to yourself...?
Real
I would agree to that sir, also the little jam to IZ-US at the very beginning, nice
bro forgot to get on his alt account
Syro is short for a word that Richard's infant son came up with.
Syrobonkus. It's quite amazing.
You don't actually believe that do you 😅

Amazing video. I’ve been waiting for this album for a while since seeing your SAW ii album reaction. Love the content and love this album!
Recommendation:
D>E>A>T>H>M>E>T>A>L
by Panchiko
Let’s Get It On
by Marvin Gaye
I was just thinking he needs to review panchiko!!!
yeeess!! also panchiko's newest album is such a great project as well! :)
panchiko is so coool!
I'd recommend going through the Analord series that Richard put out in 2005. Some of his most underrated work on them 🤩
if he does analord hes gonna have to eventually do the tuss as well lmao
@@birthdaydinosaur So be it
as someone who recently got into aphex twin your reaction to aisatsana was exactly the same as mine 😭 "Wait the fucking corecore song?" lmfaooo I had no idea he made that song
Venetian Snares - rossz csillag alatt született
It's the step further from Aphex crazyness but with classical music
hey it's me again that guy requesting happy bivouac by the pillows
this is a dope record and the vid was really fun nice work dude
You should listen to Squarepushers "Hard normal Daddy" , amazing album from the 90s
agreed, best squarepusher album
@@efmusic04 I enjoy Ultravisitor more, that's just my opinion though. Both amazing pieces of work
@@lefterius. ultravisitor is great at some points but it's super hit and miss for me tbh

Watched all your aphex reactions i cant even count how many times anymore. Some parts are so interesting, some parts funny af

Also Syro is a huge grower album, after a while all the melodies worm their way in your head, I think Syro is one of the catchiest and hookiest albums I know
Each yeah on the album hold like seven hooks for seperate hits in them. Little snippets that could become their entire songs.
Smags u should def make an AOTY / RYM profile where we can see the catalogue of your opinions on the records you hear on this channel.
yeah please
He has an AOTY account I think it just doesn’t have any ratings on it I think

@@three11creatures beggars can't be choosers! I'll take it!
Aisatsana is the Russian female name Anastasia, only in reverse 19:43
You should do Autechre next
Most def
plss
Hell yeah
Start with Tri Rep
Didn't he do them already
Hope to hear windowlicker next! Gotta be my favorite by aphex twin
You totally should react to The tuss - Rushup Edge. I know you will love it
Eh, The Tuss and Analord is not really for everyone, I'd say let him listen to more of the stuff on his main moniker first before he starts digging into the many aliases and SoundCloud/Syrobonkers/Mt. Fuji works

Great video! Finish the Death Grips catalog!
I’d recommend Tim Hecker - Virgins and Casino Versus Japan - Hitori + Kaiso 1998-2001. Your reactions are always fun to watch :)
Please do The Tuss - Rushup Edge.
It's a precursor to Syro
The 2017 reissue
That corecore callout was crazy, good to know I ain’t alone.
Goodbye end e3, hope you rest in peace best song of the album
By the way great video, hope you keep going with this content bro
Love this album so much!!

Happy to see you uploading as always Smags!
Suggestion: Weezer - Blue Album
30th anniversary comin up
great video, you should definetly check out other IDM artists, Squarepusher and u-ziq are a must listen! unforgettable experience
Burial - Kindred ep is an undisputed heavyweight champion ! 🥊
One of his best EPs for sure
I’d definitely recommend Amanda Palmer’s second solo album “Theatre is Evil”
honestly my fav album from richard!! so jazzy and groovy (except for aisatsana)
anyways my suggestion is: superunknown, by soundgarden
check out Speaking in Tongues by Talking Heads
Highly recommend squarepusher or venetian snares!
This is one of my favourite album of all time next to Tomorrows Harvest and Geogaddi by BoC
I recommend Taking You by Smags ABSOLUTE BANGER :00

Sun kil moon - ghosts of the great highway reaction would make my yr💯
aisatsana is his wifes name backwards and I find it to be a bit emotional of a song.
one of my favorites when this album came out, still it to this day
circlont14 underrated imo.
also recommendation: James Ferraro- Far Side Virtual
"Носочки" means "socks", but diminutive form of the word, like little socks/cute socks. "Ну, скажи" means "pls say it" but I heard it like "броженье" - "fermentation".

Do you know "Theatre is Evil" from Amanda Palmer? Give it a try! ^^
i didn’t think i would enjoy this, but i did
Not sure if you noticed this but track 9 is a remix of track 6
Honestly If you like the stuff rich does, then you might like some stuff by Venetian snares, perhaps the albums:
-Songs About My Cats
-The Chocolate Wheelchair Album
-Detrimentalist
-My So-Called Life
-My Love Is a Bulldozer
"This is like Scary Movie 3 was a song" I'm dying

Wlfgrl - Machine Girl (Astonishing Breakcore Album, and one of my favorites)
World is Yours - MASS OF THE FERMENTING DREGS (even tho it’s an EP its so freaking beautiful and powerful, really some good shoegaze and indie-rock with fantastic production)
Station to Station - David Bowie (my favorite Bowie album and a really dark and experimental one)
Sports - Modern Baseball (if you liked American Football’s self titled you will love this, it’s emo and it’s really enjoyable)
Speaking in Tongues - Talking Heads (an album that will make you dance like no other)
I really tried to hold myself back from commenting this, but there is literally no shoegaze in Mass of Fermenting Dregs’s music
@@meatgrinder9506 yeah i thought the same thing, but then on rym is listed along the genres, so…idk. Thanks for the comment btw

Four calendar cafe - coctue twins
Flying away - smoke city
